Looking at An Qianshan's weathered face, An Qianbai felt a pang of tenderness. She turned her head away without saying anything and refused to look at him again.
Just then, Mo Hua and Hua Qing'er from Wanbao Palace also arrived at the observation platform.
"Hehe, I thought I was early, but I didn't expect someone to be here even earlier than me!" Mo Hua smiled and bowed to An Qianshan. "Greetings, Hall Master. You look even more energetic today!"
An Qianshan stood up, clasped his hands in return, and said, "Palace Master, you are still as elegant and graceful as ever today. Oh, and who is this...?"
An Qianshan looked at Hua Qing'er, who was following Mo Hua, with a puzzled expression.
"I am……"
Before Hua Qing'er could speak, Mo Hua interrupted her, "This girl is my personal maid, Hua Qing'er."
"Ah, I see." An Qianshan looked Hua Qing'er up and down with interest. Although her pure and innocent appearance couldn't compare to An Qianbai's, it was still quite outstanding. It seemed that all the treasures of Wanbao Palace had been mortgaged to this girl in order to compete for the title of Holy Maiden.
Mo Hua smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to An Qianbai:
"Miss An is really in high spirits today; it seems she's already taken a liking to this game of the King of Kings."
An Qianbai glanced at Mo Hua and spoke coldly:
Whether I like it or not is none of your business.
Before Mo Hua could speak, Hua Qing'er angrily prepared to step forward: "You..."
Mo Hua immediately stopped Hua Qing'er, and An Qianshan's face darkened. He turned around and scolded An Qianbai: "Xiao Bai, you are too rude!"
"Rude? I just don't like people constantly yelling at me. Father, since you enjoy talking to that mother and daughter so much, you should go to their territory!" An Qianbai looked coldly at Mo Hua and her daughter.
Mo Hua smiled instead of getting angry, and looked at An Qianbai with a smile, saying, "Miss An has a discerning eye. In that case, please, Hall Master, come to the observation deck of my Wanbao Palace. I have already sent people to prepare fine black tea and snacks. I hope you will like them."
At this point, Mo Hua turned to look at An Qianbai and said, "Miss An, why don't you try it too?"
"Thank you, but no need!" An Qianbai replied coldly.
"Really? I thought that since we're both friends of that fox demon, Miss An, you would like it too... What a pity!" Mo Hua looked at An Qianbai with a smile.
Upon hearing Mo Hua's words, An Qianbai's expression suddenly changed, and she turned to look at Mo Hua, "Who are you calling a fox demon!"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I almost forgot about that fox... That's Miss An's secret, I'm so sorry." Mo Hua said with a fake apology, "Please don't mind it, Miss An."
An Qianbai snorted coldly, "Get out! Disappear from my sight immediately!"
Faced with An Qianbai's assertive attitude, An Qianshan was momentarily at a loss for words and could only turn around and lead the way away. Mo Hua smiled and didn't care at all, following along.
Hua Qing'er looked at An Qianbai with an extremely cold gaze.
"What? You think a mere bastard can interfere?"
An Qianbai turned her head and glanced at Hua Qing'er.
"An Qianbai! Don't be too arrogant, or you won't even know how you died!" Hua Qing'er said fiercely.
"Heh, thanks for reminding me!" An Qianbai looked Hua Qing'er up and down with interest. "However, with your current status, you don't seem to have the right to say this to me. I'm afraid you don't even have the right to gain that woman's approval, do you?"
“You…” Hua Qing’er pointed angrily at An Qianbai.
"Qing'er, what are you still doing there? Come here right now!" Mo Hua's cold voice came from not far away.
"Heh, you'd better hurry up and go over there, you good daughter of dubious origin!" An Qianbai mocked.
"An Qianbai! You'll remember this!" Hua Qing'er said through gritted teeth.
"Ha, I can't remember nameless people!" An Qianbai said with a sneer.
"One day, I'll make you remember me!" Hua Qing'er snorted coldly and left.
An Qianbai curled her lip: "Noisy!"
Turning her head, An Qianbai looked at An Le and said, "Go and prepare snacks for five people and bring them over."
Anle looked at An Qianbai with a puzzled expression, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. "Yes."
An Qianbai looked expectantly into the distance, waiting for that person to appear—
The red umbrellas in the streets and alleys attracted everyone's attention.
Dressed in black, with black hair
Dressed in white, with black hair
Dressed in white, with silver hair
The three of them walked through the streets and alleys, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
An Qianbai, who was on the observation platform, saw the boy with the red umbrella and suddenly stood up:
"Xiao Li..."
Anle stepped forward and said, "Miss, the snacks are ready."
An Qianbai took the snacks, and to An Le's surprise, An Qianbai jumped down and landed steadily in front of the three boys.
Gu Liyan looked at An Qianbai in surprise, then quickly stepped forward and held an umbrella for her.
Why are you here?
An Qianbai asked with a smile, "Why can't I come?"
“You…” Gu Liyan looked down at the pastries in her hand, then smiled, “Do you think I’m a glutton!”
An Qianbai pursed her lips. "I know you don't eat anything in the morning, so I specially had some snacks delivered... And I, I want to say sorry to you... I'm sorry..."
Gu Liyan stared blankly at An Qianbai. "Why did you say sorry?"
“I…” An Qianbai lowered her eyes slightly, unsure how to explain.
I'm sorry I dragged you into this.
I'm sorry I hurt you
I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.
In short—
"I'm sorry..." An Qianbai lowered her head, looking aggrieved and on the verge of tears.
Gu Liyan reached out and patted her head with heartache. "It's okay. As long as you're safe and sound, nothing else matters."
