Chapter 39 Return to the Capital



An Jianwen stared blankly at the insulated box in her hand, "You..."

"Come in first." He opened the door and took the thermal box from her hand.

An Ci walked in and saw the suitcase and schoolbag beside him. "Congratulations, you got first place in the exam."

An Jianwen followed, a faint smile on his lips, "Did Anyang tell you?"

An Ci hummed, turned around and looked at him, "Although grades are important, physical health is the most important. Go back and have a good rest."

An Jianwen felt warm in his heart. Looking at the child's mature appearance, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

Who is the brother after all?

An Ci took out his phone and handed it to him, "Add me as a friend first, and then you can check it when you get back."

An Jianwen lowered his head and met her clear eyes. After hesitating for a few seconds, he reached out to take the phone, entered a number, and then returned the phone to her.

An Ci took the phone, and the next second, a call came in. It was from her grandfather.

She answered the call, and An Zhenxiong's voice came from the other end of the line, "Xiao Ci, come to the study."

The tone is quite serious.

An Ci had a bad feeling. She hadn't gotten into trouble recently, had she? Could it be...

The results are out?

She said okay and hung up the phone. She looked up at An Jianwen and said, "Grandpa called me. I'm leaving now. Remember to drink the porridge."

After saying that, she ran out in a hurry.

Since this concerns whether she can return to the imperial capital, she has to take it seriously.

An Jianwen looked at the thermal box on the table, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

When An Ci rushed to the study, he saw that the Great Elder was also there, and his brows jumped.

Tsk, this atmosphere is not right.

"Grandpa, Great Elder." An Ci walked to the desk.

An Zhenxiong's face was stern. "Your results are out."

"Did you pass?" she asked knowingly.

When it comes to grades, An Zhenxiong feels overwhelmed. He picks at the report card on the table with his fingers. It’s all Cs.

Although he passed every subject, it was just barely above the passing line. She must have done it on purpose to piss him off.

"See for yourself."

An Ci walked over, stood on tiptoe, reached out and pulled the report card off the table.

Ten Cs in a row.

It was expected, but she couldn't show it, so she counted the Cs very seriously in front of them.

Then, she looked at An Zhenxiong with a smile on her face, "Grandpa, there's no D. I passed."

An Zhenxiong, "..."

All C's, and she's pretty happy?

"Are you satisfied with this result?" he asked unhappily.

"Satisfied." An Ci nodded with a smile, "One should know how to be content."

"And Grandpa, you promised me that as long as I passed the exam, you would let me return to the imperial capital."

An Zhenxiong choked and vaguely felt his blood pressure rising.

Yes, he had promised, but he didn't expect her to actually pass the exam.

"You little bastard, did you do this on purpose?" He was so angry that he stretched out his hand to pinch her face, but he couldn't bear to use real force.

An Ci grinned, "Grandpa, I'm only three years old, not thirteen. I'm lucky to have passed the exam."

"Right, Great Elder?" She turned around and called for help.

Meeting her pleading eyes, the Great Elder smiled helplessly. Considering her performance during this period was quite good, he said, "Master, the young master has made some progress."

An Ci looked at him as if he was looking at a benefactor, and decided to send some local specialties to the Great Elder when he returned to the imperial capital.

An Zhenxiong looked at her and said, "Forget it this time, but next time if you get ten Cs again..."

He hummed softly, and his expression gradually warmed up a lot.

"Then, Grandpa, when will we return to the imperial capital?" An Ci asked tentatively.

An Zhenxiong flicked her forehead and said, "Tomorrow."

Hearing this, An Ci's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head.

"I know that grandpa is the best."

An Zhenxiong was beaming with joy at the praise, but the next second he poured cold water on her, "But you have to come back to school in three months."

An Ci was petrified, "..."

No way, it’s only been three months.

"Why, you don't want to leave?"

"Okay then, you can stay here for the New Year..."

"No, no, isn't it enough that I agree?" An Ci interrupted him, fearing that if he was a step late he would not even have the three-month vacation. Never mind, let's go back first.

An Zhenxiong smiled with satisfaction.
