Best Delinquent Wife's Order: Rise Again, Hubby

“Anhao.”

The moment she heard the voice, the light in Anhao’s eyes dimmed.”What’s the matter?”

An Ping heard Anhao’s indifferent voice and was afraid that she would just hang up the phone. After all, this child had never been willing to pick up the An family’s calls for so many months. This time, she wanted to take advantage of the upcoming New Year to talk to her, but she actually picked up.

” Child, tomorrow is the new year. Your grandparents want to see you. We want to spend the new year with you in A City. Also, after more than half a year of communication and your father’s insistence, your grandfather has already let go of those obsessions from before. Also, your grandfather misses you very much. He has always liked you, but he can’t get over that hurdle in his heart. But now, he has thought it through. You’re a child of the An family and my daughter. We want to…”

“I’m sorry, Ms. An.” Anhao interrupted her.

When Anhao spoke softly, her tone was cold and devoid of any warmth. There were no fluctuations in her emotions.”I’m not interested in what happened to your family over twenty years ago. So, whatever you’ve communicated with each other in the past six months, what you’ve done, or what you want to do now, it has nothing to do with me. Please don’t call me again in the future.”

” Anhao, I know you hate me, and I know that you’re still upset because of what happened in Han City. I’m worried about you and I want to be with you, but you’ve been rejecting me. I don’t want my presence to affect your life and your mood, but child, it’s almost the new year. Since the three of us are still living well in this world, shouldn’t we cherish the present? No matter what happened in the past, we can sit down and talk about it. Wouldn’t it be good to let our family reunite in the new year?”

“Reunion?” Anhao chuckled.” Madam An, it doesn’t really matter to me whether it’s been eight or nine years. If you really look closely, I was fourteen when you left. It’ll be my twenty-fourth birthday in a few months. That’ll be ten years. I’ve been used to being alone for the past ten years, and I’ve also gotten used to being alone during the new year. I don’t need anyone to accompany me, nor do I need to reunite with anyone. If you really appear in front of me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to adapt.”

“Anhao, listen to Mom…”

” Ms. An, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. I’m sorry that I can’t reunite with all of you. On account of our blood ties, I won’t fall out with any of you, but I won’t have too much contact with you either. I wish your family a happy new year in advance. Oh right, help me tell Anxin that I won’t snatch her mother away, nor will I snatch her life and status in the An family.”

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, An Ping said softly,”Anxin has already left…”

Anhao frowned. Although she didn’t understand what the word ‘left’ meant, she didn’t intend to ask further.

“She was afraid that the card in her hand would be frozen, so she withdrew ten million dollars and left. She has been missing for half a year and has never returned.”

Anhao held the phone in silence, but she couldn’t even say a word of comfort.

She knew that Anping had her reasons for not taking her back then, but she had always been too lazy to listen to these reasons.

She also knew that Anxin was actually a substitute for her. Because she looked very similar to her, Anping couldn’t bring her back at the time, so she brought Anxin home to take care of her after seeing her. It was actually to make up for the things that were missing in her heart.

Taking in an orphan was a kind of kindness, so Anhao didn’t blame her. She only blamed Anping for suspecting her and Anxin’s fight back then, but more than that, she was afraid that after being separated from her mother for ten years, they were already strangers to each other.

After experiencing life and death, loss and gain, Anhao no longer clung to anything.

Therefore, whether she stayed or left in peace, no matter what kind of story Anping and Mr. Arel had, no matter what happened to the An family more than twenty years ago, she no longer cared about these things.

” Happy New Year, Ms. An.” Anhao hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

She placed her phone on the sofa and then looked at the computer on the coffee table.

Her heart was empty. She wanted to grab onto something, but she couldn’t. She could imagine how uncomfortable An Ping would be after hanging up the phone, but everyone in this world was so selfish. Everyone had their own difficulties and reasons for being selfish.

Then let’s not torture each other anymore. After being separated from each other for ten years, they were forced to be together. It was nothing more than filling the missing and gaps in the hearts of some old people, as well as those years of regret.

Why should she fill those gaps now? She had never been so loving and kind.

This year’s winter was much colder than every year.

Anhao wished she could wrap herself in a coat and a down jacket every morning when she went out. Lin Qing said that he wanted to buy a mink coat for her and that it was loose and warm, but Anhao declined.

A mink coat? Her belly was already more than seven months old and was as big as a watermelon. If she wore a mink coat, she would look like a living bear. If she went out with her round belly, she would probably be captured and locked up in the zoo like a national treasure.

Moreover, she did not want to dress up like a nouveau riche.

In the afternoon, Anhao sat in the car after attending a certain business event with Lin Qing. She was exhausted.

“How is it? You’re already thirty-two weeks pregnant, and your body is getting heavier and heavier. Your due date is in eight weeks. If you really can’t do it, you can rest at home for the next two months. Leave the company’s matters to the vice president and Mobai…” Lin Qing said with concern as he passed the thermos to Anhao.

Anhao sniffed her nose, which was a little red from the cold outside, and didn’t say anything. Because the business event she had just participated in was a little complicated, she was still immersed in the atmosphere just now and thinking about countermeasures.

Lin Qing’s words only brushed past her ears. After drinking the water, she turned to look out the window.

A black limousine sped past. The window was slightly opened, and the slightly pale side profile of the person in the car flashed past.

The thermos cup in Anhao’s hand suddenly slipped from her hand, and the warm water spilled on her feet and the leather chair.

“Anhao? What’s wrong?” Lin Qing turned to look at her.

Before Lin Qing could finish his sentence, he saw Anhao rush out of the car without even putting on her coat.
