Chapter 45: Flattery

The cold air in the car hit her face, and Cheng Anyue felt her limbs stiffen.

She slowly raised her head and saw the man looking at her expressionlessly.

She was shocked at the moment. Has he been waiting for him here?

You don't need to think about it to know that this must be the result. It's not the first time he came to pick her up.

Cheng Anyue looked embarrassed. If she knew he would come today, she would definitely come out early.

"Are you not getting in the car yet?" An Shijue frowned.

Cheng Anyue nodded quickly, got in the car, closed the door, and fastened her seat belt.

Then, she turned her head and looked at him carefully.

An Shijue had already retracted his gaze. He was reading a document at the moment. His side face was cold and he didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

Come to think of it, no one would be happy to wait here for so long, let alone him.

Cheng Anyue pursed her lips and apologized honestly, "I'm sorry."

"Yeah!" An Shijue responded and said nothing else.

Cheng Anyue thought, if he agreed, did it mean that he forgave her.

She carefully turned her head to look at him again, and he was still in the same posture as before.

She felt a little nervous again. She finally eased her relationship with him, and she didn't want to go back to the previous situation.

But, he didn't speak, how could she speak?

The car fell into silence for a while, and only the sound of paper turning pages could be heard.

This sound was very harsh to Cheng Anyue's ears, as if a knife was slicing her heart, and her heart became more uneasy.

Along the way, she looked at him from time to time, as if she wanted to say something but stopped.

Seeing that he didn't speak, she gradually relaxed in the end. Maybe he really didn't mind.

Although she doubted this in her heart.

She huddled in a corner, sat quietly, tried to reduce her presence, and recalled the key points that Song Chao had told her this afternoon.

About half an hour later, the car stopped and arrived.

An Shijue got off the car, and Cheng Anyue got on immediately.

After entering the hall, Cheng Anyue saw An Shijue walking upstairs, and she followed closely behind him.

On the second floor, the two of them walked in opposite directions, one on the left and the other on the right.

Cheng Anyue wanted to say something, but looking at his cold back, she chose to keep silent after all.

She went back to her room, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.

The housekeeper saw that Cheng Anyue looked unhappy and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Anyue pinched her sleeves, looked at the housekeeper, and whispered, "I seem to have upset the young master."

"How do you say that?"

Cheng Anyue told her what happened in the afternoon, and the housekeeper smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry, the young master won't be angry with you."

"Really?" Cheng Anyue expressed doubt.

The housekeeper thought for a while, "Then should the young lady do something to apologize to the young master?"

Cheng Anyue's eyes lit up, and she agreed with the housekeeper's proposal, but when she thought about it, she didn't know what to do.

The housekeeper had an idea and told her about it.

Cheng Anyue still hesitated, "If I don't do it well, won't he scold me?"

"Miss, you have confidence in yourself."

Cheng Anyue nodded. Although she said so, she was still very worried, but she definitely couldn't do nothing.

When it was time to finish the meal, An Shijue came down, but didn't see Cheng Anyue.

Hasn't come down yet? He frowned and went to his seat and sat down.

The housekeeper came over to arrange it immediately, and heard him say, "Where is she?"

The housekeeper replied, "Miss is in the kitchen."

An Shijue glanced at the housekeeper, "What's going on?"

The housekeeper was about to speak when he saw Cheng Anyue coming out of the kitchen with a plate of food in her hand.
