Chapter 1704: Chapter 1704: Persuading Her to Get Engaged with Yue Siqing (2)
Originally, he could have woken her up when he opened the car door.
At that time, she was almost awake anyway.
"No." Yue Siqing responded softly, reaching out to tuck her hair behind her ear, "If you’re not mad anymore, do you want to go down and eat now?"
"I’m still mad!" Gu Anjin puffed her cheeks, looking at him with dissatisfaction.
She knew it would be like this, she guessed it would be like this.
Every time she gets angry, he treats her especially well.
The way he treated Sheng Wei just now must have been because she kept throwing a tantrum after their argument, so he did it to appease her.
"If you’re still mad, are you not going to eat?"
Gu Anjin bit her lip, hugging his arm, "When are we going back?"
Yue Siqing thought for a moment, "Tomorrow."
Her eyes darted, "Carry me down to eat? If you do, I’ll temporarily stop being mad."
She was just testing, hardly daring to believe he would agree.
In the end, she suddenly felt lighter as he scooped her up once more.
"Yue Siqing!" she exclaimed almost reflexively.
She was securely in his arms, carried out of the bedroom again.
"Don’t move." he whispered a reminder.
The servants dared not make a sound when they saw this, especially stunned upon realizing Mr. Yue was just carrying her down to dinner.
They’d been working under Mr. Yue for some time, never imagining he’d treat a girl this way.
"Don’t go out tonight." Yue Siqing set her down, sitting across from her at the dining table, "I have some things to do tonight."
"I know." Gu Anjin was exceptionally obedient at this moment, knowing he intended to swiftly handle matters here to leave with her.
After so many years of waiting to the point of losing hope, it was as if she glimpsed a bit of hope again.
After dinner, Yue Siqing got into the car and, unsurprisingly, received a call.
"Mother, I’ve already decided on this matter; you don’t need to say anything further. Rest assured, we don’t need to ally with the Sheng Family. There’s nothing you should say for the Sheng Family anymore. You know my nature, and an issue once decided cannot be changed."
Whatever was said on the other side of the line made Yue Siqing’s expression grow colder.
"I’m returning to London tomorrow evening, and I’ll bring her back. Yes, she is Gu Anjin."
"What relationship we have is my private matter. You don’t need to ask anymore."
After hanging up the call, the car sped away quickly.

Because of Yue Siqing’s words, Gu Anjin prepared to leave the next day.
Since she hadn’t brought much when she came, there wasn’t much to pack now that she was leaving.
"Miss Gu." A servant knocked on the door, speaking in a very cautious tone, "Madam is here, and she’d like to see you."
Gu Anjin came out of the room, surprised, "Madam?"
"Madam Qin." The servant had already informed Mr. Yue’s people but hadn’t received a response yet.
Since Madam Qin had already arrived, they couldn’t let her wait downstairs for long.
"She’s downstairs?" Gu Anjin felt an unusual bit of nervousness, "Please ask her to wait a moment; I’ll change my clothes and come down."
Yue Siqing’s foster mother, no matter how complex his feelings were toward her, he always showed respect outwardly.
Gu Anjin instantly felt like she was meeting her mother-in-law, not daring to slack off at all.
She couldn’t possibly go downstairs in pajamas; that would be too disrespectful.
She chose a dignified dress, the one she newly bought when she arrived in Harbor City.
Walking down the staircase, she already saw the elegant lady sitting on the sofa.
