When she reached the veiled face, she was speechless with excitement.

It was the fifth uncle who came back, and he finally came back.

When Leng Xi entered the door, he couldn't wait to call:

"An An ......"

An An bit her lip and replied timidly:

"Uncle, you're finally back."

No matter how much she hated this five steps at this time, when she saw him in such an environment, it was like a burst of light into her heart, at least it could make her less afraid.

Leng Xi hurriedly walked to the table, lit the oil lamp on the table with the fire in his hand, and then walked to the bed with the oil lamp.

When he saw An An curled up in a ball, he suddenly whispered with some annoyance:

"An An, I'm sorry, my uncle has some things, so you're late, are you scared?"

An An raised her head and stared at him with those big uneasy eyes, tears actually flowed down at this time, but she still shook her head stubbornly,

"Don't be afraid, although it's dark here, it's quiet, I know that my uncle won't leave me here, and my uncle won't leave me alone."

Her words made Leng Xi's heart soften instantly.

He should have come a long time ago, because Megatron Hall was delayed by some urgent matters, and he was afraid that he would be discovered when he went up the mountain, so he came a little late.

This little girl trusts him so much, but he is still thinking about how to throw her away, the farther away the better, so that she will never return to Yuwang's Mansion, how can he be worthy of this trust?

He came to the edge of the bed and sat down, and held the bun in his hand in front of her.

"An An, I'm sorry, Uncle is a little delayed, you must be hungry."

Looking at the two buns, An An swallowed his saliva hard, took it from his hand, and couldn't help but say it, and ate it in a big gulp.

She had never felt that the buns were so fragrant, and she never felt that she could swallow two large buns in one go.

Seeing her gobbling up, Leng Xi suddenly felt distressed, he hurriedly handed over a glass of water and comforted softly,

"Don't worry, eat slowly, and I'll bring you pastries and fruits."

An An took the water cup, drank a glass of water with a clatter, raised his head, looked at Leng Xi with longing eyes, and asked aggrievedly:

"Uncle, don't leave me behind, don't leave me alone? Will you take me with you wherever you go in the future? I promise not to trouble you, I promise to be obedient, I'm so scared here alone, I'm afraid of the dark, I heard the beasts cry just now, I'm afraid they'll come and eat me......"

Speaking of this, she raised her sleeve and wiped her tears, Leng Xi felt a sadness, stepped forward, patted her on the back, and comforted,

"Do you remember the name your uncle gave you?"

"Well, it's called An An."

"Yes, An An means peace and security, no wild beast dares to come and eat you, and my uncle will not leave you here in the future."

Hearing this, An An leaned towards him, stretched out his arms, and wanted to hug him, but Leng Xi avoided it.

Although he liked this little girl very much, he didn't want to get too close to her, because he would soon dispose of her.

His lips under the veil pursed slightly, and his heart was a little sour.

An An stared at him with big crystal and harmless eyes, looked pitiful, pursed his small mouth, and said aggrievedly:

"Uncle, An An is scared, can you hug An An?"

Even if Leng Xi is a cold-faced and iron-hearted man, when he hears An An's delicate voice, his heart will be budding.

He finally couldn't bear to refuse her outstretched arms anymore, raised his hand to hold her in his arms, and comforted her softly like a father comforting his child,

"An An rest assured, Uncle promises not to leave you again."

For some reason, An An felt that the fifth uncle's arms were very warm and safe, although she knew that the fifth uncle deliberately locked her here.

"Uncle, did you find out which family in the city lost a child today?"

An An's question made Leng Xi's brows tighten, and he immediately looked at her and shook his head,

"No, I've been around the neighborhood for a long time, and I've asked someone to inquire, and I haven't heard of any family that has lost its child, but don't worry, I've already reported to the official, and if your family is also looking for you, then I will definitely find it."

An An muttered and nodded,

"Oh, I'm not going to be a kid no one wants, am I? Or did my father and my mother dislike me and deliberately threw me away? ”

"No, you're so cute, how can your father and mother bear to lose you."

"Then why didn't they look for me? I also thought that when I found my father and mother, I must ask them to thank you for saving my life. ”

An An's words made Leng Xi's already dark eyes flash a fierce gaze.

This is exactly what he is worried about, if one day, An An returns to Yuwang's Mansion and recalls her memory, then she will definitely tell Leng Yu and Shui Luolan what happened here, and at that time, even if Leng Yu may not be able to guess that the person with the black veil on his face is him, it is not difficult to ensure that this shrewd little girl does not find clues from it, in that case, what he has done will not be hidden, then the hard work he has accumulated over the years will be in vain.

Therefore, he will not let An An return to Yuwang's Mansion.

He had done enough mental struggle before he came, and although she was a lovely little girl, he would not ruin his future because of her.

He can't keep her here forever, and he can't guard her here every day.

Kill her? He couldn't.

If even such a cute child is killed, then he Leng Xi is really a heinous person.

Locked up all the time? Obviously, it is even more unlikely, he has already received the news, and the emperor has ordered that early tomorrow morning, tens of thousands of elite soldiers will be sent from the military camp to search inside and outside the city.

The use of officers and soldiers without war, and the number of such a large number of them, shows how much attention the emperor attaches to this matter, and it can also be seen that Leng Yu wants to find An An.

Although this place is relatively hidden, there is no guarantee that tens of thousands of people will search the mountain at the same time, and this place will not be discovered by the officers and soldiers, so he has already made plans to leave here with An An early tomorrow morning and place her in a proper place.

Thinking of this, he said to An An:

"Tomorrow morning, I'll take you out of here and go to your father and your mother."

"Really?"

An An was a little surprised and excited, she even felt that the fifth uncle must have seen that she was pitiful, so she found out in her conscience that she was going to send herself home.

Leng Xi looked at An An, who was grinning, and suddenly had a trance, he seemed to see Xiao Min smiling at him, smiling so brightly.

"Xiaomin?"

He unconsciously called out her name, and raised his hand to touch her face, An An blinked a few times, and called softly,

"Uncle, what did you just say?"

Leng Xi, who was recalled to his thoughts, realized that he had just lost his mind, and hurriedly shook his head,

"No, I didn't say anything, you go to bed early, tomorrow morning, I'll take you to your father."

"Okay."

An An was indeed a little sleepy, and she was very happy when she heard that she was going home tomorrow.

Leng Xi watched her lie down, covered the quilt on her body again, and was about to turn around to leave, An An asked eagerly:

"Uncle, you're not going to leave again, are you? Don't go, I'm afraid. ”
