Perhaps it was due to An Ning's somewhat distant tone and manner of questioning hurting Father An, but the male voice on the phone suddenly raised a few notches, carrying a tone of reprimand. ”What?” Can't your dad just call you? ”

If he really had nothing to worry about, he wouldn't have needed to go through the records of his mobile phone and rarely received any calls from his father in the past six months. In fact, he hadn't even called Bai Qingyan and her daughter a few days ago when they were dragged into the police station for framing him.

Father An seemed to come back to his senses after he asked this question. He felt that it was a little unfair. He recalled his usual attitude toward An Ning and decided not to dwell on this topic anymore. As for An Ning's silence, he didn't know whether it was acceptable or not.

”Tomorrow, when you have time, go home. I have something to tell you.”

An Ning lightly smiled without leaving a trace. Her voice sounded really crisp and clear. Just now, she had said that she couldn't call you if there was nothing to do? Turning around, I have something to talk to you about.

”If you have anything to say, say it on the phone.”

Not only did An Ning not want to run around with her child in her belly, she even had Bai Qingyan and her daughter living in that place that could not be called her ”home.” Just a moment ago, she had suffered such a huge loss here, so An Ning didn't believe that the two of them would be so generous as to welcome her home. She didn't even know how they would mock her.

An Ning wasn't afraid of them. She simply felt that it was meaningless to argue with them. She just wanted to waste her saliva.

”How could you say anything clearly on the phone?” I can't even ask you to go home? ”

Father An became agitated as well. He was a little angry at An Ning's attitude. He knew that he didn't have much authority over her. Although he didn't directly scold her, the word 'please' was spoken in a deliberately accentuated tone, carrying a hint of ridicule within it.

”...” ”Alright, I understand. I will be there in the afternoon.” After a moment of silence, An Ning helplessly replied.

Only then did Father An snort and hang up the phone in satisfaction.

The next afternoon, An Ning went out alone, escorted by the Xu Family's chauffeur to the An Family residence. After getting out of the car, she did not let the chauffeur leave, but rather waited for her at the entrance. With her many years of experience in the An Family home, it would not be long before she would be able to come out.

He didn't have the key to his house with him, as this place was more like the home of his family of three. An Ning pressed the doorbell like a guest.

The one who opened the door was the old servant, Qin Ma. She had watched An Ning grow up and felt very sorry for this girl who had been bullied by her stepmother despite not having a mother to love her.

”Miss An Ning is back?” Have you had lunch? Would you like to make yourself something to eat? ”

Feeling the kindness in her mother's heart, An Ning couldn't help but reveal a slight smile as she shook her head.

”No need, Mother Qin. I've already eaten lunch.”

”Eh, good. Master is in the living room. Go over by yourself. I'll cut the fruit for you. You just bought a cherry in the morning. It's your favorite food.”

An Ning wanted to speak up to stop her mother, but she didn't make it in time. She helplessly shook her head and walked into the living room. The smile on her face vanished as she saw the solemn father sitting upright on the sofa.

”Father.”

Father An didn't say anything. He raised his chin and pointed to the single sofa in front of him, indicating for An Ning to sit down.
