"Jiang Jia Han didn't come to argue with me, I'm fine, don't worry."
It took An Ning a long time before she managed to react. She finally understood why Xu Wang was acting this way. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she was somewhat touched at the same time.
"It's really not? Then what did he come here for? Are you here to make up? Don't believe his lies, he lied about not getting divorced from Ji Mingzhen for a whole day. "
Xu Wang's face was full of vigilance, like a small animal protecting its beloved item from behind. An Ning couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, don't be so nervous, I'm fine. He just came to see me and didn't do anything."
Xu Wang's lips moved a few times, but she didn't say anything. The relaxed expression on An Ning's face was not a lie. He suddenly felt a little apprehensive in his heart. Come and see An Ning? Since when did they have such good relations? Feeling a sour feeling rise from the bottom of his heart, Xu Wang felt that when she spoke, his words were laced with the taste of vinegar.
"Have you made up with him? Your child's affairs... Did you tell him? "
An Ning shook her head, a bitter smile on her face.
"No, he's already engaged to Ji Mingzhen, so how could I possibly be with him? I'm not someone magnanimous enough to be his mistress."
Seeing the look on An Ning's face, Xu Wang didn't know what to say. Although the servants in the house had changed their cooking methods in order to supplement An Ning, it seemed to be of no avail. Xu Wang always had an illusion that if a gust of wind blew An Ning away, but she was also very strong. She always had a gentle but firm smile on her face, as if she could recover very quickly even on the verge of collapse.
"Alright, don't worry about me. I'm fine, I won't be stupid enough to make peace just because of a few words from Jiang Jia. You've known me for so many years, so when did you start seeing me?"
It was impossible for him to not be bothered by the matters between Jiang Xiushan and Ji Mingzhen, so after all these years, although his attitude towards Jiang Xiushan had improved a lot, he was no longer as cold as he was before. After all, he could feel Jiang Jiexi trying to curry favor with him, so he could not harden his heart and continue to treat him coldly. However, he would not blindly get close to her. The things that he should grasp should be measured in his heart.
"An Ning, actually, I can feel that Jiang Jia still loves you, you … and still can't let him go, which is why I brought you to his engagement banquet. "
His feelings for An Ning had never changed in the past few years, but in the end, he was still a step too late. An Ning's heart had unknowingly moved into someone else's, and Xu Wang had always been a gentleman.
Xu Wang paused for a moment, as if he had put up a great struggle within his heart. Then, with some difficulty, he continued to speak. If you still love Jiang Jianxin, then you must work hard to achieve your happiness. He doesn't love Ji Mingzhen, so if you are both wrong, then it will be very painful for both of you. Furthermore, even if it is for the child's own good, you should make some changes, you don't want your child to be born without a father, right? "
With that, Xu Xin left, leaving behind An Ning, whose emotions were in turmoil because of her words.
Looking from the bottom of her heart, An Ning really did love Jiang Jia, but her heart was always proud and aloof, so she didn't want to fight with Ji Mingzhen over it. She also didn't want to be a despicable third child when Jiang Ni, Ji Mingzhen, and Ji Mingzhen were engaged to be married to each other. Jiang Xiushan was also a proud person. An Ning said that she didn't know how to put down her pride and ask him to stay, but instead made the wrong decision due to her anger. That was why the two of them were able to reach their current situation step by step, but now it was not an irreparable situation, if she wanted to …
Xu Xin's last words stabbed into An Ning's heart. Child, An Ning's hand couldn't help but touch her stomach. She thought about the new life that was being born there, and a holy feeling welled up in her heart. An Ning didn't know what it felt like to be without her father, but she still vividly remembered how unhappy she was when she was little. It was probably the same if she didn't have her father. How could she bear to let her child experience such grievances?
However, An Ning was somewhat conflicted when she was with Jiang Xiushan. An Ning pondered over this conflict of emotions alone for a long time, but nothing came of it.
An Ning was bored at home alone, and was also upset by the Jiang Jia incident, so she simply let the servants carry the easel to the back yard. When she was in a bad mood, she could only relax by painting, bathing in the warm afternoon sun. In the early hours of the morning, it drizzled a little, and the fragrance of the soil that had just been released still lingered.
For once, An Ning's mood improved greatly and her train of thought became much clearer. She silently thought about whether she should start drawing the next season's new clothes right now.
Unfortunately, the call ruined An Ning's hard-earned good mood. She looked at the word "Daddy" that was popping up on the screen. An Ning didn't move for a long time. She neither pressed the button nor hung up.
It seemed like she hadn't spoken to her father for a long time. Once she had the chance, An Ning would move out of the An family, and the number of times she returned was extremely rare, and every time she would be ridiculed by Bai Qingyan and Anfey. Father An was biased towards his wife, so when An Ning was ridiculed, she would not make a sound.
If it wasn't for the fact that he married Jiang Jia, the situation might have never changed. After all, he had a favor to ask of him, and An Zaiyi's attitude was much better, but his attitude changed after he maintained the engagement with Ji Mingzhen, which could be seen from the provocations from Bai Qingyan and her daughter in the coffee shop.
Her father's attitude towards him was mostly one of venting her anger. Her attitude towards An Ning's mother and the rest of the men had all turned around. However, this time, An Ning had already let it go and wasn't as sad as she was when she was young.
"An Ning? Why did it take so long to answer the phone? "
The phone rang more and more urgently, pulling An Ning out of her memories. Her pale, slender fingers swiped across the phone and placed it next to her ear. Father An's aged yet still full of energy voice came from the phone.
"Dad, is something the matter?" An Ning did not reply, but asked bluntly. She did not have the slightest intention of reminiscing about the past.
