The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 868 - 452: Reluctance and Moved by Anqi (Second Update)
An Youyou was displeased.
She hadn’t said anything wrong.
Besides, she would be happy to have another younger sister or brother.
Preferably a younger brother.
He must be completely different from her older brother.
She wants him to be soft and adorable.
Not fierce and harsh.
Suddenly, An Youyou’s eyes turned red.
The drumstick fell from her mouth.
Her little lips puckered in grievance, looking utterly pitiful.
An Ning paused, watching An Youyou’s demeanor.
When did An Youyou become so sensitive, so petty?
Was she too harsh just now?
Indeed, Xiao Jinxing had been making her more irritable lately.
An Ning self-reflected and then said gently, "Youyou, Mommy didn’t mean to be harsh with you, it’s just because..."
"Mommy, I miss brother," An Youyou said, tearfully.
An Ning was taken aback.
She thought An Youyou was carefree and couldn’t be crying over nothing.
Unexpectedly, it was because she missed An Luming.
An Ning suddenly felt distressed as well.
She came to the Imperial Palace to take An Youyou away, naturally, she couldn’t take An Luming along, so she left him with Zhang Wenhe, letting him take An Luming to a safer place, thinking she would return in ten days after clarifying with Xiao Jinxing. But she’d been gone for over half a month.
An Luming was different from An Youyou.
An Luming kept everything inside, and now seeing her and An Youyou not return, he must be endlessly worried about them.
"Mommy, when can we see brother?" An Youyou asked pitifully.
Even though her brother was very fierce.
She knew her brother treated her well.
He always let her have her way.
The more she thought about it, the more upset An Youyou became.
At this moment, she began to cry aloud.
Anqi was so startled that she put down her chopsticks and went to comfort An Youyou, "Youyou, don’t cry, when you cry, I also want to cry."
"Boo hoo, Anqi sister..." An Youyou turned and hugged Anqi.
She cried on Anqi’s shoulders, with tears and snot.
Anqi, saddened by An Youyou’s crying, joined her in tears.
An Ning looked at the two little ones bawling their eyes out... For whom were they acting?
"Alright, stop crying, finish your meal first." An Ning urged them.
They continued crying on each other’s shoulders.
An Ning contemplated, if only she left Anqi behind, taking just An Youyou away, Anqi now liked An Youyou so much, obviously expressing her attachment to An Youyou... An Ning genuinely felt like she was living completely for others.
In the time during the apocalypse, she wouldn’t be so indecisive.
Had the change of environment even assimilated her character?
"If you don’t eat, I’ll have the Palace Attendants take the drumstick away..."
She hadn’t finished speaking.
Suddenly, An Youyou broke away from Anqi’s embrace. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
She wiped her tears and then said, "I have to eat full to have the strength to miss brother."
The next moment, she grabbed the drumstick and began eating it voraciously.
Anqi stared at An Youyou, stunned.
It seemed she was shocked by how easily An Youyou shifted her emotions.
"Eat, Anqi." An Ning called out to her.
Anqi returned to herself, gently wiping away her tears, adopting the dignified manners of a Princess, "Forgive me for making Mother look silly."
An Ning smiled dotingly.
She patted Anqi’s head.
In front of Anqi, An Youyou truly seemed like a little wild child.
She said, "Anqi, if one day Mother leaves..."
Anqi’s eyes suddenly reddened again.
An Ning couldn’t hold back her words.
"Does Mother mean you’ll leave the Royal Palace with Youyou?" Anqi asked.
An Ning nodded.
She dared not meet Anqi’s gaze.
Anqi was clearly brought back from Yuzhou by her.
Yet she was constantly abandoned.
"Then it will be just Anqi alone in the Royal Palace again." Anqi murmured.
Tears were nearly spilling over from her eyes.
An Ning felt heartbroken and wanted to tell Anqi to eat first.
Anqi then said, "If Mother feels happier leaving the palace with sister, Anqi will bless Mother and sister."
After speaking, she smiled at An Ning.
Even if she was very upset inside, she still tried to smile in front of An Ning.
Seemingly not wanting An Ning to be sad.
An Ning wiped Anqi’s tears and said, "If that day truly comes, would you be willing to leave the palace with Mother?"
"Anqi sister, come with us," An Youyou’s mouth was greasy from eating, and she seemed to have heard an interesting topic, she promptly said, "It’s fun outside the palace. I can also introduce my brother to you. My brother is super handsome, just like Father."
Anqi’s eyes were visibly full of anticipation.
But in the end, she shook her head and said, "If Anqi leaves with Mother, Father will be alone in the palace, and Father would surely feel lonely."
An Ning’s heart ached.
Anqi was truly raised well by Xiao Jinxing; this was the only thing An Ning could thank Xiao Jinxing for over the past five years.
"Before Mother and Youyou came to the palace, Father was often alone. Either reading official documents or drinking alone, or accompanying me to read and write. If I leave again, Father won’t even have anyone to talk to." Anqi continued.
An Ning nodded slightly.
She knew that all these years, Anqi was raised by Xiao Jinxing, and Anqi was closer to him, which she understood.
She also didn’t want to speak ill of Xiao Jinxing in front of Anqi.
For example, Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t be lonely in the palace.
Besides them, he also has Bai Mowan, and probably future offspring.
"Let’s eat." An Ning called out to Anqi, "These are all future matters; living in the moment is most important."
"Okay." Anqi nodded vigorously. She suddenly remembered something and said, "Mother, if you really plan to leave one day, you must tell Father and not leave secretly again."
"Hmm?" An Ning looked at Anqi.
Unclear why she said this.
More importantly, how could she tell Xiao Jinxing when leaving?
If she did, would he likely let her go?
"Father waited for Mother for five years, finally getting Mother back; if Mother leaves without saying goodbye, Father will surely be very sad," Anqi said with concern, "Father really, really likes Mother; Anqi can see Father’s cautiousness around Mother. In the days when Father did not visit Mother, Father came to see Anqi, Father smiled unconsciously when talking about Mother, Father never smiled before."
"Anqi even asked Father why he didn’t come to see Mother, Father said he was afraid seeing him would make Mother unhappy, saying Mother didn’t quite like him. But Father said, even if Mother doesn’t like him, he’ll always continue to like Mother." Anqi, who was only six years old, spoke with clear thought and articulate words.
