Chapter 209 Asking for Help

There is a small lake next to the forest. The water is cleaned regularly and is very clear.

A breeze blew, and a cool breeze refreshed the heart, and the restless heart also calmed down.

Cheng Anyue looked at the threat reflected in the lake, which was hazy and beautiful. It was rare to be so peaceful.

She looked at the man beside her. Under the reflection of the sunset, his profile seemed to be much softer.

She had an idea in her mind. If they could stay at this moment forever, it would be great if they could keep walking like this.

Aware that the person next to him was looking at him, An Shijue subconsciously looked over. Looking at the little girl's dark eyes, some emotions in his heart were about to come out.

But, it was hard to explain.

"Is it cold?" he asked.

Cheng Anyue shook her head, "Not cold."

Suddenly, she felt her palm being lifted up, and a trace of warmth passed through her palm.

She looked at his hand, then at hers.

His hand was half a head bigger than hers. The four-year age difference made them look like an adult and a child.

However, this made her feel at ease, and she felt protected.

"Your hands are a little cold, go back." He said, and let go of her hand.

Cheng Anyue took back her hand, pursed her lips, and nodded, "Yeah."

She turned her head to look at the artificial lake next to her, and said, "It would be nice if flowers of various colors could be planted around here."

"If you like it, tell Uncle Zhou, he will decorate it." An Shijue said.

Cheng Anyue shook her head. It was not something she could decorate just because she said so, not to mention that she just said it casually.

Soon, she put this matter behind her.

The sky gradually darkened, and the two walked towards the door together.

The lights in the hall were turned on, and the sound of someone talking came from the living room.

As soon as Cheng Anyue entered, she saw An Zhengyang, Yu Wan, An Shikai and An Chongyang's family sitting on the sofa chatting, but she didn't see Grandpa An, who should be resting upstairs.

Seeing them come in, An Zhengyang and others stopped talking.

An Shikai and An Suhua both stood up and shouted at An Shijue, "Big brother (cousin)!"

An Shijue didn't respond, and didn't even look at An Zhengyang and others, and went upstairs.

"Shijue, come and sit down." An Zhengyang suddenly shouted.

Cheng Anyue looked at him warily, what was he going to do again.

Ever since she witnessed the scene of An Zhengyang beating An Shijue, she didn't have a good impression of An Zhengyang.

An Chongyang also said, "Shijue, I haven't seen you these two days, come and talk to us."

Cheng Anyue looked at An Shijue and whispered, "Brother..."

In fact, she also saw that even though her brother was the head of the An family, he sometimes had to bow his head in front of filial piety.

"Go over and sit down, it's time to eat." An Shijue said, and walked to the living room.

Cheng Anyue had no choice but to follow him.

The two sat on the empty sofa opposite.

An Shijue crossed his legs, leaned on the sofa, and looked forward with an indifferent expression. His aura was even greater than that of the two elders, An Zhengyang and An Chongyang.

Even so, they did not dare to say a word of criticism.

An Zhengyang looked at An Shijue with a rare friendly expression, "Shijue, what do you think about the project I mentioned last time?"

"This project cost your father and I a lot of effort. We also decided after many discussions. This is definitely a very profitable project." An Chongyang followed and agreed.

Just then, the servant came to serve tea.

An Shijue took a sip of the teacup and did not respond to their words. The atmosphere in the living room became a little solemn for a while.
