Although this situation was caused by He Xigu, the reason was because of her. An Hao lowered his eyes in guilt: "I'm sorry."

"Why did you say you're sorry? It's not your fault. " As Chen Xiyang spoke, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace, then said softly, "I still have a huge project on hand, but it's not over yet."

An Hao was overjoyed. She raised her eyes and looked at him, "What big project is this?"

"Lan Kong International's Lin Shi plans to build a water park at Beijing's North Mountain. With such a large project, he will definitely cooperate with the construction company." Chen Xiyang stared deeply at her, paused for a moment, and continued: "I just want to get my hands on this project, and I may need Lin Lang's help."

This gaze from Chen Xiyang once again stung An Hao. Compared to the subconscious glance from before, this deep gaze made her feel even more uncomfortable.

An Hao pursed her lips and laughed: "Then I'll look for his help. You guys were high school classmates, and our relationship at that time was very good. He should have helped us out, right?"

As she spoke, she lowered her eyes and tightly held the blanket under her with her slender hands.

Chen Xiyang looked at her, and rubbed the back of her head. He did not tell her that he and Lin Lang were actually not the same type of people, that he was the child of a poor family, and that he was the second generation from a rich family. The reason they were together in high school, was only because of the sudden death of Lin Sanxiao's grandfather, who was an official.

In order to obstruct his biological parents, he ran over to Beijing and Chuan City to attend a mediocre high school, where he would hang out with poor kids. When the period of rebellion was over, he would naturally leave them and return to the life of a rich person.

From the past ten years, Lin Sanjiu could tell that Lin Sanjiu did not contact him even once. He did not treat him as a friend, otherwise, how could he not have received any news? Technology is so advanced these days.

Thus, he did not have any confidence this time. If he could not get help, then An Hao would be his only hope.

He stroked her hair time and time again. However, if he were to tell her at this time, she would probably be conflicted. He sighed and said, "Go to sleep. You still have to work tomorrow."

An Hao sat without moving. After a long while, she raised her eyes and looked at Chen Xiyang, and said softly, "Xi Yang, do you mind if I still come into contact with Lin Lang? Actually, I'm going this afternoon to... "

"You don't need to explain. I really don't mind." Chen Xiyang interrupted her words, raising his hand to scratch her nose: "You told me before, you loved me so much, if I still doubted your feelings for me, then I would be too heartless, right?"

His words were gentle and his smile was warm, but An Hao could still feel the faint impatience on his face, it was not that he did not mind, but he did not want to hear her explanation.

Why didn't he want to hear her explanation? An Hao thought bitterly. Presumably, he knew that even if she explained, he wouldn't be able to believe her completely, right? I might as well not listen.

She suddenly felt that it was a bit ironic and couldn't help but let out a sneer.

Chen Xiyang was stunned by her laughter: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just think these things are pretty funny." An Hao said as he laid back onto the bed, he looked at Chen Xiyang and said: "Turn off the lights, you still have to work tomorrow."

The editor had given her two months of marriage leave. Based on the current situation, the Maldives had been ruined.

On the second day, when An Hao opened his eyes, he had already gone to work. She rubbed her aching head a little, but actually, she did not sleep well last night.

She didn't know if the reason behind his insomnia was because of the loss of the He Xigu Engineering or if it was because of her, she was too lazy to think about it. Even if she did, she had no power to change the current situation.

She took a deep breath and just as she sat up from the bed, the phone on the bedside table rang. It was the WeChat notification.

She took a look at her phone, it was a message from Lu Qi, there was only one sentence: "Chen An An An, you actually dared to lie to me."

Chen An An An was a fake name that she had invented. Presumably Lu Qi already knew her real name, but he was still calling her with that fake name.

An Hao was a little apologetic. No matter what Lu Qi had done, during this period of interaction, they could still be called sincere to her. Yet, she had deceived her with a clear purpose.

She looked at the resentful message that she had sent, and after a moment of hesitation, she replied: I'm sorry.

The other party didn't reply after half a day. With Lu Qi's personality, the moment he saw that she was online, he would definitely scold her. If he didn't reply, that would only mean that she was not online right now.

An Hao placed the phone back onto the bedside cabinet, got up and changed his clothes. He wanted to go wash up, but when he walked to the bedroom door, he subconsciously heard the sound coming from outside the door.

The hall was quiet without a sound. She could not help but feel relieved. She gently opened the door and walked out.

Just as she reached the bathroom's door, the door was pushed open from the inside. Sun Yan appeared at the door and looked at her with disgust.

"Mom …" Just as An Hao was about to greet her, Sun Yan walked towards the hall in large strides as if he did not see her.

An Hao stared at her back in a daze. Was she planning to treat her like thin air in the future?

An Hao took a deep breath and walked into the bathroom. No wonder others said that marriage wasn't something for two people. It was only now that she realized how naive she used to be.

No matter how vile her mother-in-law's attitude towards her was, she would still treat her as her own mother and try her best to let her see her own good. There would be a day when she would change her mother-in-law's opinion of her.

Only now did he realize how sad and awkward he was facing his mother-in-law's disgust. It was difficult for him to even talk to her, so how could he let her see his good side?

When she returned to her bedroom after washing up, it was already nine in the morning. An Hao had not eaten breakfast, and based on Grandma's attitude, she probably hadn't prepared her share either.

When she picked up her bag and was about to leave, the phone's message sounded again. She thought it was Lu Qi, and when she opened it, she saw that it was an unfamiliar number that had added her as a friend.

Seeing this name, An Hao couldn't help but smile. Years ago, she did indeed buy a smart phone for Grandma, but Grandma would only answer phone calls, she also wanted to teach Grandma how to read WeChat, and chat for a while if there was nothing to do, but Grandma just thought it was too much of a bother, so she didn't learn anything at all.

She didn't expect that Shi Xueman would add her as a friend even though she had no teacher?

She quickly pressed accept and sent a message over the voice message, "Grandmother?"
