My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 1378: The Gap

An Ning, due to shock, suddenly pushed An Dafu away.

However, due to her sprained ankle, she didn’t manage to push An Dafu, but instead stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

"Careful..." Lu Xiu, who was trained in martial arts, demonstrated his sharp reflexes at this moment.

An Ning was caught by Lu Xiu, preventing the pitiful sight of her falling to the ground.

An unusual male scent overwhelmed her, completely different from the feeling of being held by Sikong Wuyou.

An Ning quickly stood up straight, keeping a certain distance from him, "I’m really sorry, I just got too excited and let Brother Lu make a fool of me."

Lu Xiu shook his head, "It’s alright, the weather outside is cold, and Sister An Ning is wearing so little, so let’s hurry inside and talk with Uncle Erlai." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Yes, yes, let’s go inside to talk, inside to talk..." An Dafu echoed.

"Sister An Ning and Uncle Erlai, please go inside, I won’t be joining today since it’s quite late and I’m afraid my second brother and they are already worried, I’ll head back now..." Lu Xiu said.

Just appropriately, An Ning also had things to discuss with An Dafu, with Lu Xiu absent, they’d surely find it much easier.

So, An Ning spoke up, "What Brother Lu said is right, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu are all waiting, so I won’t keep Brother Lu any longer."

"Indeed, it’s late, let’s hurry inside, talk about the matters of these last two days, and then I must hurry back, otherwise Aunt Qiu might be worried sick!"

An Dafu wasn’t just urging An Ning with these words, he was also addressing Lu Xiu.

After all, the sky was already dark, he and An Ning were spiritually father and daughter, yet outsiders weren’t aware.

Staying too long at An Ning’s house in the middle of the night could indeed stir gossip.

After Lu Xiu left, only then did An Dafu enter the house.

Took a few steps, but found An Ning hadn’t followed, turned back and asked, "Why aren’t you coming in? What are you standing there silly for?"

An Ning came out hopping on one leg, feeling weak now, afraid she couldn’t hop back.

Looking at her injured foot on tiptoe, An Ning, with a grievance, said: "Dad, my ankle is sprained!"

Only then did An Dafu realize, An Ning stood there for ages without moving, hadn’t taken even a single step.

Turns out, that was the reason.

"When did you sprain it? You girl, why didn’t you say earlier?" An Dafu complained, standing there with a sprained ankle for such a long time, this girl perhaps doesn’t want her foot anymore?

"Dad, don’t interrogate me, hurry and come help me, I can’t stand on one leg anymore."

With An Dafu’s help, An Ning finally returned to the house, lying back on the kang.

"Dad, where did you go these two days? Do you know, Aunt Qiu is almost worried sick!" An Ning opened her mouth to complain.

Mentioning Qiushi, An Dafu thought about his performance these past few days, feeling indeed guilty at heart.

But speaking of what he went to get, An Dafu looked at An Ning with a bit of resentment, "It’s all because of you girl, that day Dad went to town to get a doctor for you, only to return and find out, you had been taken away by An Bingfeng, how could Dad be at ease with you unconscious being taken to the capital city, that’s why..."

Spent days searching and running around outside, all of which proved useless.

It was through this experience that An Dafu finally understood the massive gap between officials and commoners in this world.
