Chapter 797: If a Pretty Boy like An Yu…
When An Yu saw that his mother knew about his hidden feelings, for a moment he was so embarrassed that he didn’t know what to say, especially since Mingzhu was now his father’s woman.
“I-I didn’t,” stammered An Yu, but he saw that his mother continued to just look at him.
Deny it, just keep denying. Ning Shu kept looking at An Yu with a deadpan expression.
An You felt even more embarrassed and finally shrugged. “In the past this son did like gentle women like Mingzhu, but she’s already Father’s woman now. This son doesn’t have any thoughts towards her.”
Ning Shu was a little surprised since this child had been very infatuated with Mingzhu before. He had changed a lot now. He didn’t seem to be the same as he was in the original storyline.
Ning Shu was now extremely glad she had frickin’ sent him away early before he had become completely infatuated with Mingzhu. The environment had probably influenced An Yu some too. The current An Yu was much more intelligent and well-rounded than before.
Those scars on his face and hands showed what he had been through.
A strange question suddenly popped into Ning Shu’s mind and she glanced towards An Yu’s lower half. All the men in Profit Province were rough guys. They usually didn’t have women there, so if a little pretty boy like An Yu headed over… Did he get pushed down?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible and the look in her eyes became even more strange.
An Yu: …
After leaving his mother’s courtyard, he bumped into Mingzhu who was standing in the corridor and feeding fish. An Yu wanted to avoid her, so he turned around to leave.
“An Yu.” Mingzhu called out to An Yu. An Yu turned around and greeted, “Aunt.”
The moment Mingzhu heard what An Yu called her, her expression stiffened. After all, she was even younger than An Yu. However, the fact that he called her this way meant that he accepted her, right?
“Are you doing well in Profit Province’s military?” asked Mingzhu.
An Yu cupped his fist in a salute and said, “Many thanks for your concern, Aunt. Everything is pretty good.”
“Actually, there’s no need for you to be so polite with me. I’ve always thought of you as a friend.” When Mingzhu saw how distant An Yu was being, she felt a little uncomfortable. Then she noticed that An Yu’s face had a faint scar. “It looks like you’re not doing very well, you must’ve suffered a lot.”
Mingzhu took a couple steps towards An Yu. When An Yu saw that she was supporting her waist while walking towards him, he quickly took a few steps back and said, “It’s nothing for grown men to suffer a little bit.”
“In truth, I didn’t agree with you going to Profit Province’s military back then,” said Mingzhu. “I really can’t understand why Madame sent you to such a harsh place.”
An Yu frowned slightly and said, “Aunt, you should continue feeding the fish. I’ll be leaving now.”
Mingzhu watched as An Yu walked away, then frowned slightly, feeling a bit wronged. Why was he like this? She sighed. She was pretty sure that An Lingyun had said bad things about her to her brother, that must be why An Yu was avoiding her like this.
Mingzhu rubbed her stomach. Suddenly, for some reason, she felt a little depressed and worn out, especially when she saw how imposing An Yu was. That young and healthy body made Mingzhu’s heart feel strangely restless.
“Mingzhu, you’re here! I was looking for you everywhere.” An You walked over worriedly.
Due to drinking so much medicine during this period of time, the smell of medicine hovered around An You all the time. The moment Mingzhu smelled this, she covered her mouth and started retching.
