“Phew, it’s finally over…”
Li Cai walked out of the restaurant with An Mingjie, lit a cigarette, and breathed out a sigh of relief as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
God knows how nervous he had been.
When he learned that An Mingjie intended to declare war against the Feng family, he almost thought An Mingjie had gone mad.
Step by step planning led to today, finally opening the curtain.
“Feng Chengye probably can’t even dream that we have secretly figured out all the strongholds of his Feng family, and even quietly taken down a few. When the crucial moment comes, we can give him an unexpected surprise!” Li Cai smiled and whispered to An Mingjie’s ear.
The confidentiality of this matter was extremely high, with only a few key members of the An family besides the two of them knowing the truth.
It was all to deliver a fatal blow to Feng Chengye at the last moment.
“Brother, are you sure?” An Rou cautiously approached, her face full of worry.
An Mingjie turned his head, gently pinched An Rou’s delicate face, “Don’t worry, when have I ever done something without confidence?”
“What do I need to do?” An Rou hoped to be a help to her brother, not a burden. “You just said I am your weakness…”
“Hahaha…” Hearing his sister’s words, An Mingjie couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Don’t worry, Rou Rou, you will live as you have lived before.”
An Mingjie looked extremely confident, “Not to mention the Feng family, even that guy Lin Hui wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you now.”
He knew that both Lin Hui and Feng Chengye were very wary of his cunning, so he decided to play an empty city strategy.
You want to target my sister to make me hesitate?
Fine, I won’t hide her. I’ll push my sister out in front of you.
Will you dare to make a move?
An Mingjie was certain they wouldn’t!
Because they couldn’t afford to.
Once Feng Chengye and Lin Hui fell into the trap, with An Mingjie’s tactics, they were likely to lose everything due to this wrong move with An Rou.
So they dare not touch, dare not gamble.
Even if they know that An Mingjie may be bluffing, they dare not. One wrong move could mean the destruction of the entire family.
Those who often go all-in know that when you put everything on the line, every step involves more analysis and more thinking than usual.
And the more you think, the more mistakes you make. At such times, it’s about who can stay calm and composed.
“Gurgle, gurgle…” An Rou wanted to say something, but her stomach protested first.
Seeing this, An Mingjie couldn’t help but furrow his brows, concerned, “What’s wrong, didn’t you eat just now?”
An Rou recalled the situation earlier, her face slightly red, and somewhat embarrassedly said, “Don’t mention it, you don’t know how Su Jiang ate there, he looked like a pig, just thinking about it makes me feel embarrassed. I’m so full of anger.”
An Mingjie couldn’t help but laugh at her words. He turned to look at Su Jiang, raised an eyebrow, and Su Jiang innocently shrugged, saying nothing.
Then, An Mingjie turned to An Rou and said, “How about letting Su Jiang take you to eat something now?”
“Huh? Why can’t I go home to eat?” An Rou retorted somewhat unwillingly.
“I might be very busy today and won’t have time to cook for you.”
Upon hearing this, An Rou hesitated for a moment and muttered, “Well, okay.”
After that, she glared at Su Jiang, as if warning him not to do anything out of line.
“Hey, you two siblings are discussing things without asking for my opinion?” Su Jiang protested.
“Then Su Jiang added, ‘How about this, since Brother An said they dare not make a move, why don’t we go back and eat some more?’
At this suggestion, even An Mingjie couldn’t hold back a twitch at the corner of his eye.
‘If you do that, then I really can’t guarantee…’ An Mingjie said weakly.
Just after declaring war and leaving in style, you’re going back to eat again?
What’s the difference between this and taking a dump on Feng Chengye’s face?
Hearing the rejection, Su Jiang looked a bit disappointed, and An Mingjie couldn’t be bothered to deal with him, so he left An Rou and Su Jiang behind and departed with the rest of the An family.
‘We’re heading back now, Su Jiang, take care of my sister.’
Leaving these words behind, several cars from the An family didn’t even pause, they just left, leaving Su Jiang and An Rou standing in the wind feeling disheveled.
Su Jiang’s mouth twitched. He felt that An Mingjie was a bit out of line.
Leaving such a big sister to him without a worry, if he had any bad intentions, the An family would be done for.
An Mingjie had said that An Rou was his weakness, and now he entrusted An Rou to Su Jiang’s care, undoubtedly the greatest trust in him.
“So, um… shall we go eat something?” Although Su Jiang had just eaten, his extraordinary metabolism made him hungry again quickly.
An Rou gave him an exasperated look, took out her phone, and searched for nearby good places to eat.
Su Jiang sneakily peeked over her shoulder from behind, but An Rou didn’t notice, focusing on searching for nearby delicious food.
Her fingers swiftly scrolled on the screen, her eyes glued to the food pictures and reviews.
“That hotpot place we just went to was good.”
Su Jiang saw a hotpot restaurant a few hundred meters away, with a perfect five-star rating!”
“Oops!”
Su Jiang’s voice startled An Rou, causing her to jump in surprise, and in her shock, she accidentally flung her phone out of her hand.
Luckily, Su Jiang reacted quickly, swiftly catching the phone.
“You scared me…” An Rou, annoyed, was about to scold him, but when she turned her head, she suddenly realized that her face was extremely close to Su Jiang’s.
Feeling her cheeks instantly heat up, as if on fire, her heart rate began to accelerate, thumping faster and faster.
Sensing Su Jiang’s warm breath, her cheeks blushed even more.
In order to catch the phone, Su Jiang’s arm inadvertently moved forward, almost pressing his chest against An Rou’s back, creating the illusion that Su Jiang was hugging An Rou from behind.
The ambiguous atmosphere grew thicker, and they maintained this posture, looking at each other for a moment, then each looked away, unsure where to direct their gaze.
“Um… so, I just saw a hotpot restaurant that looked good.” Su Jiang cleared his throat, breaking the awkward silence.
“Oh? Oh… then… let’s go.”
An Rou’s mind was now too preoccupied to think about hotpot, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards Su Jiang’s face.
Surprised internally, she wondered why she hadn’t noticed how handsome he was before.
Reluctantly parting, Su Jiang returned the phone to An Rou and let her follow the navigation.
Walking side by side, the restaurant happened to be near Jiangdu University, and at this time, many students were out eating and shopping.
The bustling street was crowded with people, making the walking space somewhat narrow. Su Jiang thought for a moment and decisively took An Rou’s hand.
“There are too many people, I’m afraid you’ll get lost.” Su Jiang said calmly.
“…Oh.” An Rou lowered her head, softly agreeing, allowing Su Jiang to lead her forward holding hands.
In reality, her face was burning red, and she didn’t want Su Jiang to see.
