1333 Trying to Take Her Place
An Mingchen watched as Su Yanyun and Rong Linyi left arm in arm.

Deep loss and despair filled his eyes…

“Zhengzheng…” He knew he was overreacting.

Su Yanyun was already wary of him, and now… it was even more impossible for her to believe him.

She wondered what that old woman, Xiao Mengxia, had said in front of her.

An Mingchen lowered his head and stuck his fingers into his hair.

Had he lost his mind?

How could he ask about the seal in front of Zhengzheng?

Back then, they had been so unhappy because of that seal.

He wanted to tell Su Yanyun. He didn’t care about the seal, and he didn’t care about being the first heir to the An family.

All he wanted was to be with his only family. He wanted to be like when he was a child, holding his little kite, counting the stars at night, and catching butterflies with her in the garden…

Why was it so difficult to simply love and protect her?

“Young Master…” An Mingluo finally couldn’t help but speak when she saw An Mingchen lower his head in silence.

However, as soon as she said this, she knew that she was in trouble.

An Mingchen raised his scarlet eyes, which were filled with bloodlust and brutality.

An Mingluo was so frightened that she immediately stood up and tried to escape.

She wasn’t stupid enough to communicate with An Mingchen in his current state…

However, An Mingchen had already vented all his anger on her.

“It’s all your fault, An Mingluo.” He gritted his teeth and seemed to be tearing into her flesh. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to… but it doesn’t matter. Now that Zhengzheng is back, you can disappear too.”

“I-I don’t… I didn’t…” An Mingluo fumbled toward the room door.

However, just as she reached the door, An Mingchen had already moved over quickly, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her over. The moment she lowered her head, he grabbed her neck and threw her to the ground.

“Deal with this woman routinely,” he ordered his men behind him, eyes narrowed.

Of course, An Mingluo knew what the so-called conventional treatment was. She ignored the pain in her neck and screamed in fear, “No! An Mingchen, you can’t do this to me… Aunt! Aunt, help…”

An Mingchen liked to see his unlucky prey struggle.

He was the kind of man who could draw pleasure from the horror and pain of others.

Seeing An Mingluo’s shocked expression, his lips curled into a happy smile.

Someone had to sacrifice their lives to endure his anger.

His subordinate had already picked An Mingluo up without any hesitation.

“You, you dare…” An Mingluo shouted wildly. “Aunt will be angry if you do this…”

“It’s okay, she won’t be angry for long.” An Mingchen smiled, but there was a chill in his smile. “She won’t even have time to be angry…”

“Chenchen!” Suddenly, An Qingrou’s voice was heard. “What’s going on? Mingluo… put her down!”

When An Mingchen heard this voice, he could not help but be stunned.

How was that possible?

Mom actually… actually came out?

His subordinate did not listen to An Qingrou’s instructions. He continued to grab An Mingluo and looked at An Mingchen.

“Chenchen! How did it become like this? What did Mingluo do to provoke you? She, she can be considered your sister…” An Qingrou’s face was also filled with panic. “Stop joking. Put her down quickly.”

An Mingchen was unmoved and only looked at An Mingluo sinisterly. “She tried to replace Zhengzheng.”
