Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu An’an couldn’t help but feel anxious when she saw her father’s gaze. She had never seen her father look like that before. It was as if a needle had been pricked into her heart. “An’an, are you really doing a new project at school?” Her father asked.
Lu An’an immediately kept quiet. She could tell that her father was suspicious of her. She couldn’t help but feel guilty for deceiving her father. Thinking back to Gu Anning’s vicious words, could it be that Gu Anning had secretly told her father? Didn’t she say that she would only get back at her in school? Why was her father involved?
Seeing that Lu An’an didn’t dare to speak, her father’s heart softened a little. “I went to see you at school the day before yesterday and found out that that not only did you not take on any new projects in school, but you even took a long vacation. What on Earth are you doing?” Her father’s expression became serious again.
Lu An’an pursed her lips and did not dare to say anything. She did not dare to tell her father about her sudden marriage with someone else. Moreover, it was based on an agreement with Yan Yunge. It was as if she was selling herself. If her father knew about it, he would definitely force her to divorce him. Her mother also could not find out about this matter. Her health was already not good. What if her health worsened after hearing about this matter?

“Father, let me help you with your work!” Lu An’an changed the topic as she snatched the hoe from her father’s hand. Without waiting for her father to speak, she took the initiative to begin working in the field to appease him.

Seeing that Lu An’an was busy in the field, he did not continue to interrogate her. He picked up another hoe and worked with Lu An’an. Naturally, the two of them finished the work in the field very quickly. Lu An’an took the initiative to go to the kitchen to prepare food. When she saw her father massaging his back, she began to feel uneasy.

From what she remembered, her father had always been very strong. However, now it seemed that her father was gradually getting older. Moreover, her father must have asked her those questions out of concern for her.
Lu An’an cooked two simple dishes and brought them to the table. She planned to take advantage of their meal time to talk openly about the matter with her father. After putting down 2 bowls of rice on the table, “Dad, it seems that we haven’t talked for a long time,” Lu An’an said with a smile.
Her father was also stunned. Her father realized that he could not even recall the last time he had a heart-to-heart talk with his daughter. “You’re right. It’s been so long.” Her father smiled kindly.
Thinking about how she had grown into a beautiful lady, he could not help but smile gently. The two of them started reminiscing about their past. They were full of smiles and tears. In the end, Lu An’an finally brought up the the matter of her marriage. She thought that her father would be angry, but instead, he looked full of regret.
“Why didn’t you feel comfortable telling me that? Am I not worthy of your trust?” Her father said regretfully.
Lu An’an omitted the part about the agreement. She only wanted her father too think of it as a normal marriage. “No, Daddy, you’re the best father in the world!” Lu An’an said sweetly.
The father sighed helplessly and said, “I want to see your husband.”
