Just like that, she kept her eyes open until dawn. When the servant lightly knocked on An Qingruo's door and said softly, ”Miss, it's time to wake up, breakfast is already prepared. Madam and Eldest Young Master are waiting for you to have breakfast together.”

An Qingruo frowned slightly upon hearing the servant's voice, and after a whole night of not sleeping, An Qingruo felt a huge headache coming on. She took a deep breath in annoyingly, and An Qingruo raised her hand to pinch the space between her eyebrows that was between her eyebrows that was in pain, and then sat up using her arms to support herself up from the bed. She said to the servant outside: ”I got it, let my mom and the others eat first, don't wait for me, I'll be back down in a while.”

An Qingruo said as she lifted off her blanket and got off the bed. She went to the cloakroom and changed her clothes before entering the bathroom.

It was probably because he had not slept for an entire night. An Qingruo's face was extremely unsightly, there were many black marks under her eyes, her complexion was extremely pale, and her eyes were still mixed with traces of blood.

Seeing his dispirited look, An Qingruo immediately became even more agitated. She frowned deeply, turned on the water faucet, and splashed some cold water on her face.

The cold water slapped on his face, clearing up An Qingruo's chaotic thoughts in an instant.

An Qingruo frowned and rinsed her mouth, looked in the mirror, saw that her eyes were still bloodshot, and took out a towel, soaked it in cold water and applied it on her eyes for almost five minutes.

After getting off the towel, he looked in the mirror and saw that the red lines in his eyes had lessened by quite a bit. Only then did his expression relax slightly.

He then took some cosmetics and carefully applied some light makeup on himself, covering up the eye-catching dark circles around his eyes and his originally ugly face.

Seeing her radiant face in the mirror, which was so delicate and beautiful that not even a flaw could be seen, An Qingruo finally revealed a satisfied smile.

She didn't want Lu Shijia to find anything wrong in her face.

After taking care of himself, confirming that she was flawless, and making sure that no one could tell what was wrong with her, An Qingruo opened the door and went downstairs.

Just as An Qingruo walked to the entrance of the dining hall, she met Lu Shijia who had just walked out.

Lu Shijia had obviously already eaten breakfast, with his right hand holding onto a large document bag, it seemed like he was preparing to go to the company for work.

”Good morning, brother.” An Qingruo smiled and greeted Lu Shijia intimately.

Lu Shijia's attitude was as cold as usual. He merely nodded at An Qingruo and said, ”Mn, mother is still waiting for you to eat breakfast. Quickly go, I'm going to work at the company.”

With that, without waiting for An Qingruo's reply, Lu Shijia left with big strides.

An Qingruo looked at Lu Shijia's departing figure, and his ten fingers which hung by his side tightly clenched into a fist.

A sinister look flashed past his eyes, but he quickly disappeared as An Qingruo's expression returned to normal and he entered the dining hall.

Just as she entered the dining hall, she saw Ruan Qingwan seated at the table, waiting for her.

Hearing the commotion, and seeing that An Qingruo had entered, Ruan Qingwan's pale and expressionless face finally revealed some emotion. She ordered a servant at the side: ”Quickly go and bring out Yuan Yuan's favorite nest.”

”Yes, ma'am.” The servant respectfully replied before leaving.

An Qingruo sat down beside Ruan Qingwan and intimately took Ruan Qingwan's arm: ”Mom, did you sleep well last night?”

After saying that, An Qingruo's gaze sized up Ruan Qingwan's face, only to see that Ruan Qingwan's face was still extremely pale, with a green and black ring around her eyes, indicating that she had not had a good sleep.

How could Ruan Qingwan sleep!
