In contrast, Gao Daniu, knowing well that he couldn’t attain it, still chose to strive, resulting in an awkward predicament for all of them, leaving them unable even to remain as simple siblings.

At the County Office, after several days, the poison within An Bingfeng’s body had long been neutralized, but his physical condition was not very good, as he was weakened by the torment of the toxins.

Mu Yi’s recovery was also quite satisfactory, and gradually, those who had been scattered were found once more.

Although this premeditated assassination caused them to lose many people, the Prime Minister Residence’s people were not easy to deal with, and the opponents gained no advantage.

Overall, considering that An Bingfeng was now safe, it should be a time for celebration.

However, at this moment, the sound of objects being smashed came from the room, accompanied by the voices of a father and son arguing.

An Yu looked at An Bingfeng with a heavy gaze, "I don’t want to return to the capital city; I just want to stay here, with my mother, with An Ning..." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

With a bang, An Bingfeng swept everything off the table, "An Yu, don’t force me to take action..."

If he truly hardened his heart, at that moment, nothing might be salvageable.

"You... you want to kill my mother?" An Yu looked at An Bingfeng in disbelief, but the murderous intent in his eyes left him unable to console his own heart.

An Bingfeng’s cold and merciless eyes stared straight at An Yu; evidently, An Yu’s suspicion was not mistaken.

If An Yu insisted on staying here, he truly couldn’t control himself from taking action against the Yan clan, completely severing his thoughts of remaining.

"I have long said, the Prime Minister Residence can accommodate no one, but you are the young master of the Prime Minister Residence, and there is no place for you to linger outside!" An Bingfeng was surely a tenacious person, obsessed whether it was with what he loved or hated.

Looking at the fate of the An Family those years past, even his biological parents, he could act against them, demonstrating that this person was never one of great kindness.

An Yu was also very angry, "But she’s not just anyone; one is my mother, the other is my sister."

"Is there a difference?" This statement brought endless desolation to An Yu’s heart.

Is there a difference?

Naturally, there is a difference.

A biological mother and sister are not the same as outsiders, are they?

However, to An Bingfeng, these distinctions truly made no difference.

After all, An Bingfeng was the true master of the Prime Minister Residence; the methods to make An Yu return to the capital city were indeed numerous.

And An Yu, no matter how clever, was still just a child yet to mature.

His methods, in comparison to An Bingfeng’s path of growth, were ultimately insignificant.

After the anger subsided, knowing clearly he couldn’t resist, all that remained was a calm, "Father, they say one day as a couple, a hundred days of grace, but as for you, you’re truly heartless."

An Bingfeng remained silent.

Heartless? Yes.

He also understood that he never possessed such a thing; whether familial affection or love, it never belonged to him.

Therefore, he never yearned for it either.

As for the Yan clan, all the affection between them indeed amounted to nothing more than a moment’s passion.

He married her merely to let his offspring have a legitimate status.

And he only approached her on their wedding night.

Shortly thereafter, within a month, she was pregnant, and thereafter, they had no intimate interactions.

Recalling back then, the reason for his quick birth had a significant bearing on this situation as well.

In his mind, the purpose of the Yan clan’s existence has always been that of a breeding tool, not his wife, nor his child’s mother!
