She holds grudges too, and hasnât forgotten when she asked him for help, he said, âYour sister wonât die.â
âMinister, if you donât have any instructions, Iâll head off now. You should go back and rest early; itâs not safe for someone of your stature to be here.â
Hai Yunfeng nodded, and Sheng Ning turned to leave.
The secretary stood not far away, unable to resist clenching his fist. Truly, the granddaughter of the Su Family, with this talent for holding grudges and a knack for cutting without a blade, has quite the presence of Su Jiang.
âMinister, letâs go back!â Seeing him not eat or drink for a whole day and standing downstairs at midnight, he felt uneasy.
âBaoâer wonât forgive me.â Hai Yunfeng sighed.
âMinister, Baoâer will surely forgive you; you are her father. The bond between parent and child is never fully severed.â The secretary couldnât help but persuade.
Hai Yunfeng smiled bitterly, âItâs not just her who wonât forgive me, even I canât forgive myself.â
â...â The secretary wanted to continue persuading him but couldnât find the words.
Sheng Ning opened the door and went home, tiptoeing to avoid waking Anâan and Shen Luhua, but was startled by a sudden voice.
âThat person hasnât left yet?â Anâan sat on the sofa with her arms crossed and her legs habitually crossed. This was her little habit before her memory returned; she always looked especially cute sitting like this.
Now her memory has returned, her personality has changed, but her habits havenât.
âDonât just stand there stupidly!â Anâan frowned, âSis, Iâve noticed youâve been acting a bit off lately.â
Sheng Ning sat down beside her, chuckling. The oddest person saying she was abnormal, how could this sound so unconvincing!
âReally!â Anâan seemed pleased with herself, nodding heavily. âAlthough I donât yet understand why youâre off, Iâm sure Iâll figure it out soon.â
âAnâan, itâs you whoâs off, not me.â Sheng Ning said earnestly, âYou and mom donât talk about it, but I still worry. I faced a decision like yours before: whether to draw a clear line, never forgive and go our separate ways, or choose to let bygones be bygones? I struggled with it for a long time; no matter the choice, it was hard.â
âIs it hard?â Anâanâs dark eyes showed a trace of confusion, âI didnât find it hard at all.â
Sheng Ning sighed, she wasnât as smart as Anâan. But she had experienced more than Anâan, understood lifeâs difficulties and dissatisfaction better. People are prone to fixate on things, once they do, theyâre stubborn and difficult to pull back.
She hoped Anâan wouldnât regret it one day.
âAnâan, some things canât be explained with logic and intelligence alone, like how I love your brother-in-law; I just love everything about him, no matter what, even if I canât articulate why.â
â...Sis, are you showing off your loving relationship with brother-in-law in front of me?â
âUh... sorry.â How did she unintentionally start flaunting her romance?
âI wonât interfere with your decision, but before you decide, you must stay calm and think it through.â Sheng Ning got up and prepared to go to her room to sleep. Sheâd been feeling particularly sleepy lately; she used to stay up until two without fatigue. Lately, sheâd been feeling drained every day.
âBy the way!â She stopped and said, âI heard Mr. Haiâs health is very poor now; he canât withstand shocks.â
