”Come here for a moment!”

As An Ning said this, she turned around and walked towards the backyard. Jiang Jia also quickly followed, taking a step forward with An Ning.

Seeing the two of them, Father An's lips moved a few times as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't. He kept his gaze on their backs until they disappeared over the porch.

”Can you tell me what is going on?”

An Ning's limpid eyes stared unwaveringly at Jiang Jian, not letting go of any of the expressions on his face. However, Jiang Han didn't look like she was feeling guilty at all. Instead, she looked directly into An Ning's eyes.

”Nothing, just what uncle said.”

An Ning retracted her gaze, her fingers tightly gripped her palm, and her rosy lips were tightly pursed. Her father wouldn't tell her, and she wouldn't even tell him the truth.

Jiang Jia stood there in silence, suddenly holding An Ning tightly in his arms. An Ning reflexively wanted to struggle, but she was restrained by Jiang Jia.

His struggling movements gradually became smaller. He didn't know why, but the cold embrace of Jiang Jian gave him a feeling of despair, as if the people living in the darkness were tightly grabbing onto his only light.

”An Ning, trust me, okay?”

A deep voice came from beside her ear, bringing a slight breeze with it as it flew towards her ears. An Ning felt a little itchy, and her face started burning up. She couldn't help but let her thoughts run away.

”Alright.”

After a long time, An Ning finally replied, ”Yes.”

When the two of them returned to the living room, An father was still sitting there. It was unknown where Bai Qingyan and Anfey had gone to, but An Ning didn't really care about them.

Knowing that Father An was fine, An Ning relaxed. She hadn't finished her own draft design, but there were only two days left before Li Xiaoran submitted her draft. She was worried that Father An would be unable to calm down.

After chatting with Father An for a while, An Ning decided to leave. Uncharacteristically, Jiang Jianhan was not in a hurry to see An Ning off today. Instead, he ordered her to be escorted away by the An family's chauffeur.

He had to admit that Jiang Jian Han's attitude made An Ning a little disappointed, but she didn't show it on her face. She waved her hands at Jiang Jian Han and left.

Jiang Jia stood by the window, watching An Ning leave the courtyard in a car with a profound look in her eyes, before turning around.

”Let's go!” ”Let's talk about it in the study!”

Father An knew why Jiang Jia Han didn't leave, so he stood up without waiting for him to speak. Jiang Jia Han pursed her lips and followed him without a word.

They sat down on either side of the coffee table in the study, and Father An lifted his hand to pour a cup of tea for Jiang Junhan.

”I want to know what exactly happened that year.”

He remembered what had happened when he had gone to rescue Father.
