Chapter 817: Chapter 817: The First Daughter Isn’t You (2)

"You were awake all along?" An Yiqing panted and glared at him, clearly annoyed.

Gu Yelin smiled gently, his slender fingers caressing An Yiqing’s soft hair as he said indulgently, "I wasn’t awake originally, but then a little kitten scratched me with her paws, so I woke up."

Feeling guilty, An Yiqing coughed and looked away, avoiding Gu Yelin’s smiling eyes. She blinked innocently and asked, "Where’s the kitten? I didn’t see her."

Gu Yelin chuckled at An Yiqing’s feigned confusion, helplessly saying, "The kitten turned into a confused little girl, lost her memory."

Looking at Gu Yelin’s helpless yet doting handsome face, An Yiqing couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing. She had never engaged in such childish banter before, and trying it today, she found it quite enjoyable.

It seemed that as long as it was with her Ah Lin, she felt happy doing anything.

The two of them quickly washed up and hand-in-hand, took Xiao Hei and Old Jin back to the An Family Mansion.

It was just past six in the evening, the mansion had just finished preparing dinner, and the rich scent of the dishes could be smelled from outside, making An Yiqing’s mouth water.

Using the spare keys, they opened the villa’s door, just in time to bump into An Zhihang who was picking something up at the entrance.

"Little sister?! You’re out of retreat?" An Zhihang first froze, then exclaimed with joy, "That’s great! You’ve been in retreat for half a month, you don’t know, Grandma and Grandpa have been talking about you every day, they’ve practically worn out your brother’s ears!"

An Yiqing listened with a merry smile to An Zhihang’s grievances, her gaze moving to Kong Shi who was jogging over from the living room.

"Mom, I’m back," An Yiqing said softly to Kong Shi.

"Oh, oh! Good, good! Why did this retreat take so long? You child, always so mysterious, leaving a message and disappearing. If it weren’t for Lao San repeatedly assuring us you were fine, your father was almost ready to call the police," Kong Shi held An Yiqing’s hand tightly, chiding her while looking her over worriedly, "How did you lose so much weight in just half a month? Didn’t you eat while in retreat? Come inside, dinner’s just ready. You must eat a lot tonight."

Obediently, An Yiqing let Kong Shi go on, quietly listening to every word, her heart warmed. Returning home like this, feeling the care of family, was really wonderful.

At this moment, Old Master An and Old Lady An and others, who were already seated at the dining table, hurried over upon hearing the voices. Everyone, happy to see An Yiqing after her long absence, gathered around, greeting her endlessly.

"Alright already, save it for after dinner. Niuniu just came out of retreat, she must be really hungry!" Old Lady An interrupted everyone, grabbed Gu Yelin and An Yiqing, and headed for the dining room, "Lao San, Niuniu, don’t mind them. Eat first, talk later."

Everyone watched as An Yiqing was pulled into the dining room and followed suit. A rich dinner ensued, filled with family joy and warmth.

After dinner, An Yiqing helped the family clean up the kitchen, then joined Old Master An, Old Lady An, and other members of the An family to sit casually in the living room. Xiao Hei and Old Jin, having not returned to the real world for too long, took the chance to run wildly outside the villa today, stirring up all the neighborhood pets into a frenzy before happily running back.

"Niuniu, how was your retreat this time? Did you make any breakthroughs to the Mid-Level Innate Realm?" An Zisheng looked An Yiqing over and asked with concern.
