As for that particular man, he thought he should find an opportunity to meet him, but clearly now wasn’t the time. When he parked the car in a somewhat quiet villa complex and found that familiar house, it was only then that Rocky stopped the car and woke up the person next to him: "An Nan, wake up, we’re here."
Groggily waking up, still a bit unsure of where they were: "We’re here? Where are we?"
"At the villa. Do you need me to accompany you?"
Finally fully awake, An Nan glanced at the scenery outside the car window, then asked, "The fridge is filled up, right?"
"Yeah, I had someone fill it up before, and the room is cleaned up too." The source of thɪs content is novᴇlfire.net
"Alright, you can go back first, no need to see me in. I’m okay. I’ll turn my phone off for the next two days. If anything comes up, call the villa’s phone. Come pick me up the day after tomorrow and accompany me to the main house. I need to give those people a bit of a wake-up call first."
"Alright, good night."
Watching the departing car’s taillights, An Nan didn’t immediately enter the villa behind him but stood by the roadside, staring at the sky for a long while before unhurriedly taking out his phone and dialing a number he held deeply in his heart.
"Jiayou, An Nan had some misunderstandings with Uncle Mu Bai today." Followed by the sound of a brief description of the situation.
"Yeah, I might need you to stay with the Lin Family temporarily. I’ll come to get you once I’ve sorted everything out in a while."
"Alright, good night."
Hanging up the phone, An Nan let out a small sigh and didn’t bother with the incessant incoming texts on his phone before directly turning it off, naturally missing out on the messages from someone’s calls.
In a corner of the ’Champs Elysees’ parking lot, An Jiayou, having just hung up the phone, pondered for a bit and walked back to the car: "Grandpa, Grandma, can I go back with Uncle Mu Bai?"
Lan Yiqing thought for a moment before agreeing readily, and then she wanted to get out of the car: "I’ll take you to find him."
An Jiayou quickly refused: "No need, Grandma, I saw Uncle Mu Bai, I’ll go myself. You and Grandpa go home and rest early."
Perhaps because An Jiayou was usually so well-behaved, Lan Yiqing didn’t think much about it and agreed: "Alright then, take care, and call me if you can’t find him."
"Okay, Grandma, see you, Grandpa."
Standing silently in place, watching the car drive away, An Jiayou then approached a group of familiar faces without greeting each individually. He walked directly to the person in the middle of the crowd, with a calm expression: "Uncle Mu Bai, can I go home with you?"
The sudden childish voice instantly attracted everyone’s attention to him. The person he addressed was momentarily stunned, then deeply stared at him, unsure of what they were thinking. Despite being under the gaze of so many eyes, the small child remained calm and unperturbed. About a minute later, An Jiayou felt his neck encircled from behind, and he heard a familiar voice ask him: "Little thing, where’s your mommy?"
"An Nan?" The words couldn’t help but furrow the brow: "I don’t know either." His answer was indeed the truth; the person had just called him but hadn’t mentioned their whereabouts, so he genuinely didn’t know.
Han Xiayang wanted to ask more but was interrupted by Lan Luo: "Alright, Xia Yang, Jiayou said he doesn’t know, why make it difficult for a child?"
