Looking at this clever little girl, Leng Xi suddenly felt relieved.
Perhaps it was the remnant of conscience deep in his heart that still remained. He began to persuade himself in his heart that his ultimate goal was to ascend the throne. Since the little girl promised not to tell this matter to anyone, why should he take action against such an innocent and lovely little girl?
After a while, the carriage brought him and An An to the Weizhen Gang. It was night time now, and there was no one else here except the gatekeeper.
They came to the backyard, and Leng Xi pointed to a row of cages and said:
"An An, look, there are several kinds of animals there. Go and take a look."
Hearing him say this, An An looked at him in surprise, then ran to the cage containing the animals. Leng Xi sat on a wooden chair beside her, and in the cover of night, he looked calmly at the little girl running around in front of him.
These animals were caught from the mountains by the members of the Weizhen Gang. Their original intention was to give them to Xiaobao to play with, but he had never brought Xiaobao to the Weizhen Gang before, so today he let the little girl have a sneak peek.
An An stayed with these little animals for an hour, and then Leng Xi came over to call her.
"An An, it's late at night and a little cold. Let me take you home."
An An looked up at him, nodded heavily, and rolled his big dark eyes a few times before saying:
"Fifth Uncle, don't worry. An An will never tell anyone about what happened tonight. This is a secret between us. But, can you bring me here again in the future? I love these little animals so much!"
Looking at An An's expectant eyes, Leng Xi couldn't bear to refuse and nodded directly.
"Okay, as long as you keep this secret, Fifth Uncle will bring you here again when he's free. But you have to remember not to mention the little uncle again, and don't mistake him for someone else."
An An's big eyes blinked a few times, then nodded.
"Fifth Uncle, don't worry, An An won't say anything nonsense."
Seeing that she agreed, Leng Xi stretched out his hand, took her hand, and walked out of the Weizhen Gang.
That night, no one knew that An An had secretly run away, and no one knew that she saved herself because of a single sentence.
