An Sheng was lying on her bed when she heard the sound of the door turning.
She lowered her eyes vigilantly, but didn't say anything.
A moment later, the person outside the door left.
An Sheng had thought that she could finally heave a sigh of relief.
However, there was the sound of a key opening the door.
An Sheng hurriedly stood up and walked to the door. She opened it and looked at the person at the door.
She pretended to be calm and said, "Brother, it's so late. Is there anything else?"
"I knew you weren't sleeping, " Ling Guansheng said as he walked over to a plate and handed it to her.
"Sleeping with a hungry stomach can be uncomfortable."
An Sheng looked at the food on her plate and reminded herself that it was nothing.
She took the plate and did not resist him."I understand. I will rest after I finish eating."
"All right, " he said, already in her bedroom.
An Sheng turned around to look at him, feeling slightly nervous in her heart.
But now, the more extreme her attitude was, the more infuriating the date became.
She hesitated, then closed the door behind her. She went to the table, set down the plate, and began to eat.
Actually, it didn't matter whether the door was closed or not. After all, even if something happened, no one here would choose to help her.
She was trying her best to look as if she didn't care.
Ling Guansheng's gaze became a bit blurry as he stared at her slow chewing.
An Sheng ignored his gaze and said, "Bro, I haven't applied for a leave of absence from the company yet. Can you give me your phone and let me apply for a leave of absence?"
"Sheng'er, don't play any tricks."
An Sheng was speechless, "I'm not playing a small trick on you. I've been working in the Datian Group for so long, I should be responsible for my own work."
"That job has nothing to do with you from now on."
An Sheng looked displeased."Why do you have so little respect for me?"
"If I hadn't respected you, you wouldn't be sitting here eating now."
An Sheng thought about the meaning behind his words and furrowed her brows. She knew that he was hinting at something.
"Bro, have you thought about the consequences?" An Sheng's expression was helpless."Big brother and little sister??" Do you really want to make our parents the laughingstock of the world because of our relationship? "
"That's better than watching you with Kang Muzhi."
"Even if it wasn't Kang Muzhi, I would still get married in the end, " An Sheng's voice rose by several notches, "I won't be able to stay in the Ling Family forever."
"Why not? We are a family of four, and it would be u ecessary for anyone to squeeze in again."
An Sheng said sadly, "I'm the one who's u ecessary. You know, Mom doesn't like me."
"Do you care if she likes you or not?"
An Sheng said with a sad face, "How can I not care? You don't think that I am living a very happy life in the Ling Family, do you? "
Ling Guansheng was speechless.
An Sheng replied, "Ever since I can remember, every day I live in the Ling Family, it's been hard on me. Yes, you and Dad are very good to me. In the past, the two of you were my hope of living at home.
But ever since that incident, every time I walk into that house, it's always suffocating me. Do you know the pain and helplessness? Even at this moment, as you sit facing me like this, what I can feel is not the joy of talking with my brother, but the fear, the fear that comes from the depths of my heart."
As she spoke, she lifted her hand to pat her heart."I'm in pain. Do you know?"
Ling Guansheng's eyes turned slightly cold.
An Sheng put down her chopsticks and said, "Brother, I'm begging you. We shouldn't have done this."
Ling Guansheng remained silent and walked to the window.
An Sheng gazed at his back, hoping that he would change his mind.
However??
"No matter what you say, I won't let you go."
"You wouldn't really lock me up forever, right? You should know that it's impossible."
Ling Guansheng turned around and looked at her: "As long as I want to, there's nothing I can't do."
An Sheng was on the verge of despair."Brother, I'm a human, not a canary."
Ling Guansheng said in a deep voice, "I really hope that you are just a canary. That way, you won't fly to other people."
An Sheng lowered her eyes. She had already made up her mind. No matter how much she told him, it would be useless.
Thus, she stopped talking.
She was going to think of something else.
She picked up her chopsticks again.
It took her twenty minutes to finish.
She got up and carried the tray out.
Ling Guansheng didn't follow them out. When An Sheng came downstairs, she looked around.
Those who were surrounded were truly invulnerable.
When she went back upstairs, Ling Guansheng just came out of her room.
An Sheng said, "I need to rest."
Ling Guansheng said calmly, "Good night."
An Sheng walked into the room. Just as she was about to close the door, she seemed to have thought of something and walked out again."Brother."
Ling Guansheng turned around and looked at her expectantly.
She said, "Are you going to stay here forever?"
Ling Guansheng was speechless.
An Sheng said, "What about the company? Are you not going to manage it? Father is too old for this alone."
Ling Guansheng looked at him coldly, "You want to kick me out?"
"You have so many bodyguards here, I can't run away, and I won't run away. You can go back to work in peace."
Ling Guansheng looked at her and didn't say anything.
An Sheng said, "Just follow your plan and tell your parents to send me abroad so that they won't worry about us."
"Sheng'er, I watched you grow up. I know what you're pla ing."
"I didn't pay attention to anything, and I can't let you waste your Ling's because of me, " An Sheng said without avoiding his gaze in the slightest, "It's just that, I want to beg of you one thing."
Ling Guansheng nodded: "Go ahead."
"After you go back, help me call Datian Group and ask for a leave of absence. This is my job, I don't want to be a person without sense of responsibility."
Ling Guansheng didn't say anything, he turned around and pushed open the door to the room next door.
An Sheng took a deep breath and went back into the house.
The first thing she did was to lock the door.
But when she thought about how Ling Guansheng had the key to her room, she didn't feel any sense of security.
She sat down on the bed and wrapped her arms around her knees.
Kang Muzhi, where are you?
You don't really think that I've given up on you, so you won't care about me anymore.
That night, An Sheng struggled to sleep.
At this moment, Kang Muzhi wasn't much better off either.
Smoke City was very big, so they couldn't just randomly search for him.
In order to quickly find the whereabouts of An Sheng, Kang Muzhi had used all the manpower and co ections he could.
Other than the surveillance cameras, he also got Xiao Jingnian to help him find his good friend in Smoke City and get into contact with the police.
By two o'clock at night, he was finally exhausted to the point of falling asleep in the van.
At five in the morning, his cell phone rang and woke him up.
"Hello, Director Kang. I'm the Land Rover of the Ling Nan sub-bureau. We found the car you provided us with."
