186 The Fiance (2/2)

An Sun's pupils dilated with surprise, but he managed to conceal it quickly.

He suddenly let out a dry laugh, ”Your grandfather would be happy to hear that.”

Rin raised her head to look into An Sun's fathomless eyes.

She laughed and smiled at him. ”You're right.”

The two went silent until they returned to the Bai Manor. Upon returning, they were warmly greeted by a cold face Bai Han, beside him stood General Guo – he equally did not look happy.

”Where the hell have you two been?” His eyes narrowed dangerously thin. ”Did you go out dressed like that?”

Removing her veil from her face, Rin passed it to a nearby maidservant and looked at her grandfather and uncle with a guilty expression.

”It was only for a little while and don't worry, I wore a veil.”

”A little…” Bai Han almost foamed at the mouth with her calm tone. ”You were gone for five hours! You call that a little?!”

”Does she have a curfew?” An Sun raised a sharp eyebrow.

The vein on the side of Bai Han's face bulged.

”You! Stay out of this!” He bellowed angrily as he stared fiercely at the young man.

An Sun let out a cold snort as if he could care less.

”Grandfather…” Rin sighed softly.

Suddenly, a soft cry came into the ears of everyone and the originally tense atmosphere dipped a few degrees.

”An Sun!” Yun Suyin could be heard shouting the young man's name from the corner.

”Oh for the love of…” Bai Han muttered in frustration.

Walking out from around the corner, Yun Suyin's eyes lit up, but the moment she caught sight of the girl standing beside An Sun, her expression dimmed. She narrowed her eyes and her hands clenched into fists.

”An Sun!” She walked over to him, the ends of her dress fluttering gracefully behind her. ”Where did you go? I was worried something happened. I couldn't find you!”

With her teary eyes and soft, waxy voice, anyone would bend for the pitiful looking girl before them. Unfortunately, her actions only caused further tension to the already thin atmosphere.

An Sun looked down at her without any sort of expression of his face. Although his tone was calm, his words made the girl stiffen up for a brief moment.

”My whereabouts are none of your concern.”

”But they are! Because to you, I…” Yun Suyin's face exploded into a furious blush. She stared with wide almond-shaped eyes at the young man, unable to speak.

Rin watched the scene unfold on the side and helplessly shook her head. She shifted her gaze slightly to look at the two cold-faced men in front of her.

”Grandfather, uncle, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. ”

The two looked at her resolute and calm gaze. They inexplicably felt something serious was about to occur. Finally calming his anger down a bit, Bai Han grunted in approval.

”Let's talk in my office.” Bai Han stole a glance at An Sun and Yun Suyin. ”Maybe we can give these two some alone time.”

A twitch developed in An Sun's eyes as he watched the old man walk away with a smug smirk - General Guo followed closely behind.

Rin nodded her head. Just when she was about to leave, she hesitated for a moment before her line of sight shifted to An Sun, whose deep and gray eyes stared right back at her. He could see behind those bright emerald eyes was apprehension.

Though he wasn't smiling, An Sun's eyes glinted a reassuring gaze. In return, Rin gave half a smile and nodded. When she turned around to follow behind the two men, An Sun's eyes followed her before he let out a deep sigh.

With the old man in mind, he wished her the best of luck.

”An Sun!” The sound of Yun Suyin's voice shattered him from his initial thoughts.

He looked down at the girl in front of him and frowned.

”What is it?”

The girl's lips puckered into a pout and she played with her fingers while muttering, ”Did you go out with that girl?”

”Yes.” He answered honestly.

Yun Suyin's long eyelashes trembled and her face was pale.

”Why does An Sun prefer hanging out with her than with me? What does she have that I don't?”

At that point, An Sun was beyond exhausted from handling the girl's complaints.

”Maybe if you spoke less and listened more, you would be able to answer that yourself.”

His tone was calm, without any particular emotions in it. However, someone who knew him well could sense the young man gave off a dangerous air right now.

Unfortunately, Yun Suyin was too stunned to notice it. An Sun's words were like ferocious waves sweeping over her. She couldn't react in time; her eyes were wide and blank with shock.

All the servants in the room kept as quiet as possible, trying not to draw any fire upon themselves.

Yun Suyin's lips parted to speak, but could not think of the words to say. Seeing her shocked expression, An Sun heavily sighed and without speaking, walked away.

After the long and tiring day, he needed to wash somewhere.

As his figure disappeared in the distance, Yun Suyin stood frozen in place, her gaze somewhat dull. She glanced back in the direction he left in, a sharp glint seeping into her eyes.
