Free Web NovelChapter 1579: Chapter 1656: An’an Returns
In the villa, An’an appeared travel-worn. She sat absentmindedly on the steps outside, her travel bag casually thrown on the ground. The porch light illuminated her face to a ghostly pale.
She sat quietly on the steps like a little cat, her pitiful look made one instinctively feel sorry. Gu Yunbo didn’t know how long she had been there when she found her; she was ice-cold to the touch.
"Why are you sitting outside and not going in?"
An’an didn’t answer, staring silently at the rising tide in the distance.
Gu Yunbo called out again, but she still didn’t react. She reached out to push her gently but An’an tumbled forward; fortunately, Su Hai came out and caught her.
Facing Su Hai’s reproachful gaze, Gu Yunbo withdrew her hand guiltily.
She hadn’t used any force, so why was she being vilified like a criminal? In fact, the two hadn’t gotten along well lately, and Su Hai always looked at her as if she were a murderer.
Gu Yunbo, who normally wouldn’t suffer losses, unusually tolerated it. What could she do? He was Meng Fan’s uncle; she decided not to argue with him out of respect for his seniority.
"She has a fever." Su Hai reached out to check and carried An’an inside.
Gu Yunbo was about to follow when she felt someone tug at her leg. Looking back, she saw the little brother dressed in a furry outfit with a Mickey hat, his chubby hands pulling at her pants.
Gu Yunbo crouched down and held the little brother in her arms.
"Little brother, why did you come out?"
The little brother couldn’t speak yet and just kept giggling at Gu Yunbo. His finely carved face already hinted at inheriting his mother’s beauty. Whenever he smiled, his black eyes formed crescent shapes.
No matter how many troubles you had, you’d forget them all.
"Truly a good son of his godmother." Everyone else doted on the well-behaved little sister, but she preferred the clumsy and adorable little brother. He was practically the ideal son, irresistible to those who wanted to tease him a little.
The key was, he was especially considerate and easy, never crying or making a fuss.
The little brother pointed inside with his chubby finger and then reached to tug Gu Yunbo’s hair.
"Oh! You were carried out by Su Huili and then left on the ground? Poor little brother, I’ll avenge you."
"Hahaha..." The little brother giggled foolishly, seemingly satisfied that someone was avenging him, probably teething and blowing bubbles.
Gu Yunbo easily carried the little brother inside, where Su Hai had already laid An’an on the bed and given her fever medicine.
"How is she? Is she alright?"
"She’s fine." Su Hai shook his head, "How did she end up like this?"
"If you escaped from Keperta alone and returned from the Gambling City over thousands of miles, you’d understand how she ended up like this." Gu Yunbo rolled her eyes, "That kind of godforsaken place isn’t for ordinary people."
"An’an is not an ordinary person." Su Hai had far more confidence in An’an than Sheng Ning. A girl who could avoid bullets with precise calculation wouldn’t have problems anywhere.
Gu Yunbo didn’t know about An’an’s specialties; in her eyes, An’an was just a little girl.
"I heard she’s Hai Yunfeng’s daughter?" She actually heard this from Chen Yingjie! Before going abroad, she only heard that the Hai Family had a Bao’er who went missing as a child.
Before the disappearance, Hai Baobao was undoubtedly the most loved in the Northern District. When An’an first arrived, she couldn’t recognize it at all, "I suggest you quickly send An’an back to the country!"
