Chapter 23: Unusual Feelings

After dinner, An Shijue went up first, and Cheng Anyue followed behind. She hesitated for a moment and said to the housekeeper, "Can I borrow your phone?"

"Miss, this is..." The housekeeper looked at her in surprise.

Cheng Anyue was a little embarrassed and said, "Just now, the young master promised to let me go home after my foot is healed. I want to tell my parents this news."

The housekeeper looked at Cheng Anyue with a strange look, "Miss, are you sure you want to go home? An's family is not good?"

"It's not that An's family is not good, I have to go home anyway." Cheng Anyue replied.

The housekeeper nodded, took the phone and handed it to her.

Cheng Anyue happily took it and immediately called her father's phone, and soon the other side answered.

"Hello, hello." The man's voice was a little vague, as if he was drunk. The sound over there was very messy, with music and people talking.

Hearing her father's voice, Cheng Anyue was very happy and said quickly, "Dad, it's me, I'm Anyue."

"Anyue, stay at the An family and listen to Mr. An. You have always been well-behaved, and Dad is at ease with you."

"Dad, no, I can go home soon." Cheng Anyue said happily.

"What did you say? I can't hear you clearly. Dad is busy now. Just listen to Mr. An."

"Dad..." Cheng Anyue shouted, but the other party had hung up the phone.

She looked at the phone, and her mood was not affected at all. Maybe she could give her parents a surprise when she went home.

She returned the phone to the housekeeper and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"Miss, you are polite." The housekeeper took the phone, "Would you like to stay downstairs for a while, or go back upstairs to rest?"

"I'll go back to rest. I have to go to class tomorrow, so I can't oversleep again." Cheng Anyue said with a smile, "Grandpa housekeeper, good night."

"Miss, good night." The housekeeper smiled.

Cheng Anyue turned and walked upstairs. Although she was still limping, she was happy now, so the pain was not a big deal.

Seeing Cheng Anyue safely upstairs, the smile on the housekeeper's face gradually disappeared.

Miss Cheng is going home? Is this true?

In the study, An Shijue was still handling official business. I don't know how long it took, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and the person who came in was the housekeeper, holding a teacup in his hand.

"Master, your ginseng tea."

"Yes!"

The housekeeper put the ginseng tea next to An Shijue, turned around and prepared to go out. After hesitating for a while, he looked at An Shijue and asked, "Master, is Miss Cheng really going home?"

"Yes!" An Shijue responded.

The housekeeper frowned slightly, "But her parents may not be happy that she goes back. I'm afraid they will vent their anger on her."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" An Shijue raised his head and looked at him coldly.

The housekeeper's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Master, that's not what I meant."

"That's her choice." An Shijue explained patiently, "Get out!"

"Yes!" The housekeeper said respectfully, opened the door and went out.

After standing at the door for a while, the housekeeper sighed. He understood what the young master meant. He brought her out of the tiger's den, and let her choose whether to leave or go back, and of course she would bear the consequences herself.

Originally, I thought the young master had special feelings for her, but now it seems that he was overthinking.
