My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 1364: Finally Back

Even though he abandoned the young lady back then, he made all the proper arrangements before leaving.

As for what happened later, it can only be said that the world is full of unpredictable events.

However, to say that he cared seems a bit far-fetched.

After all, when the young lady was just a month old, he left without any sentimentality.

And now, after the young lady refused to go to the capital city with him, he didn’t try to persuade her, but instead seemed relieved.

The thoughts of the master, even after accompanying him for decades, still remain a mystery to him!

At the back of Shili Village, An Ning nestled in Sikong Wuyou’s embrace, "Just see me off here. It’s not good if people see us like this; anyway, it’s not far. Let me go back by myself for the rest of the way, alright?"

Sikong Wuyou wrapped an arm around her slender waist, the height difference allowing his chin to rest on the top of her head, and asked slowly, "So, I’m such a disgrace here with you?"

"No, you know that’s not what I mean." An Ning looked up, glaring at him.

"Just teasing you. As you wish, I’ll see you off here. Be careful on your way back, and if... there’s anything, just come to the County Office to find me." Sikong Wuyou patiently instructed.

Even if An Ning hadn’t said anything, he wouldn’t have seen her off to the Gao Family like that.

A lone man and a single woman, not to mention An Ning had been away for a few days – appearing together so openly would surely lead to misunderstandings among others. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He, naturally, couldn’t bear to let her suffer the strange looks from others.

If he were to appear with her in public, he would do so openly, making sure no one would look down on her.

"I know, you be careful too." An Ning said reluctantly.

The most inconvenient thing about ancient times, one could say, is the lack of easy communication and transport.

If it were modern times, they could just contact each other via WeChat or phone after returning home.

But here, it’s entirely possible they wouldn’t see each other for months unless they made an effort.

Sikong Wuyou dismounted first, helped An Ning down, and only watched her leave afterward.

He didn’t turn away until her figure disappeared, then led the horse away.

All the while, he couldn’t hide the smile on his face.

However, there was one thing that made him feel a bit melancholic.

He still needed to trouble them to take a trip this way...

He actually knew in his heart that his mother cared for him very much, but heaven seemed to have played a joke on him, letting him be born into the Sikong Royal Residence.

What he sought desperately in the previous life, couldn’t be obtained; this life, he thought he had escaped, yet found himself trapped in this dead-end again.

Fortunately, heaven did not completely abandon him; when he thought he would live alone forever, it sent him someone who could touch his heart.

The rest of his life like this – just fine.

A piece of land, a person to accompany him!

At the entrance of the Gao Family residence, An Ning was about to enter the door when Qiu grabbed her, "An Ning, you’re back?"

"Aunt Qiu, can you tell me later? I want to go home first." Saying this, An Ning tried to pull her arm away from Qiu’s grasp.

"An Ning, where is Uncle Erlai? Why didn’t he come back with you?" Qiu had been waiting at home all night, anxiously without any news of An Dafu, unable to watch An Ning leave.

"Uncle Erlai..." An Ning detected something unusual in her words and turned around to ask, "Isn’t he home?"
