My Princess Holds Superpowers

Chapter 1655: Chapter 1656: Understanding His Emotional Knot

When they arrived at the County Office, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

The continuous travel and nerves had left her exhausted. As soon as she reached a safe place to rest, she fell into a deep sleep.

It wasn’t until dusk that An Ning finally regained consciousness.

Opening her eyes, she saw Yan Shi watching over her, "Mother, what era is this..."

An Ning murmured and sat up from the bed. After stretching, she felt completely relaxed and comfortable.

She remembered that when she went to sleep, it was not yet fully light. But now, looking outside, it seemed like the weather was still misty.

Yan Shi came over to explain, "Silly girl, it’s already dark. You’ve been sleeping for an entire day. You must have been very tired these past couple of days, right?"

An Ning patted her head, "Did I really sleep that long?"

Yan Shi said, "Yes, indeed. You’ve slept the whole day without eating. You must be hungry, I’ll go get you something to eat."

With that, Yan Shi stood up and headed outside.

An Ning touched her stomach; she was indeed quite hungry.

However, this wasn’t their home in Taohua Village, and An Ning was afraid Yan Shi wouldn’t find the kitchen here!

An Ning got up and was about to go out when she saw Yan Shi already returning with a food box.

"So fast?" At the County Office, there was only one cook. Wuyou liked peace and quiet, so not many people were around him. There weren’t a lot of people to feed, so naturally, the kitchen wouldn’t have meals ready all the time.

Yan Shi smiled, "Your brother has been thinking about you. He even told someone to keep your food warm in the kitchen. Come and eat."

After saying this, Yan Shi placed the food box on the table and brought over water for An Ning to wash up.

As An Ning sat down to eat, Yan Shi continued, "Ningning, your brother has always wanted to be close to you. He genuinely cares for you as his sister. Whether during the times when we were locked up and in danger or now when we are safe, he’s always been thinking of you. I know how you feel—you’re worried for your mother and don’t want me to get hurt. But you must understand, both of you are the apple of my eye, and if there’s discord between the two of you, that’s the greatest pain for me..."

An Ning, still holding her bowl, stopped suddenly and, after a long pause, spoke, "I understand, I won’t hate him anymore."

Before meeting An Yu, she had no feelings toward this brother. But after meeting An Yu, aside from those few initial days, she couldn’t find it in herself to dislike him anymore.

Only, she had never revealed her feelings.

Hearing An Ning’s response, Yan Shi was more comforted than anyone else, "I’m glad you’ve come to terms."

An Ning put down her bowl and reached for Yan Shi’s rough hand, taking the opportunity to say, "I can let go, but I hope you can let go even more."

The smile on Yan Shi’s face gradually faded, turning into a bitter smile, "Ningning, I thought you might enjoy a reunited family life, but why..."

She could never quite understand why An Ning seemed to have an innate resistance towards her biological father.

An Ning tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Understanding the hardships and the hurt that An Bingfeng had endured, An Ning could accept his emotional barriers.

However, the pain she had experienced was also real and deeply felt.

Moreover, if An Bingfeng had cared for Yan Shi, even if he had felt a fleeting moment of emotion, An Ning thought, she might not have been so resistant to their being together.
