116. Big brother

After Ah Nuo pushed open the door, he stood upright outside the door, then gestured to Yan Shi for her to go inside, “Miss, please go in.”

Yan Shi walked into the room quietly. After she went in, she could smell the faint scent of books in the air. Looking left and right, she found that there were wooden book shelves on both sides of the walls, and they were fully filled with various types of books. This must be the study room.

Afterwards, Yan Shi’s eyes landed on the only person in the study room besides her. The middle-aged man was sitting behind the desk.

Although the middle-aged man was wearing a comfortable casual outfit, he was exuding charisma. His looks were intimidating despite not being angry.

Looking closely, there was some resemblance between her and the middle-aged man.

No words were needed as Yan Shi could guess his identity. But towards this man who was a complete stranger to her, Yan Shi couldn’t bring herself to call him ‘father’.

Yan Lihui said to Yan Shi: “Sit down.”

Yan Shi only found that there was a chair located not far away from her at this time. It seemed to be prepared specially for her.

Yan Lihui lifted his brows in surprise, “What request?”

“I don’t want so many people to know… know about this, I want to live like how I used to.” Yan Shi and Yan Lihui looked at each other. Her eyes were filled with determination.

Yan Lihui instantly understood the meaning behind Yan Shi’s words. He let out a laugh, but still accepted Yan Shi’s request: “Then I’ll listen to you. But I still hope you can stay here since you are my daughter. I won’t let you suffer outside.”

Yan Shi knew that she’d already laid out a request, if she rejected him again, it meant that she didn’t know how to read the situation. So she nodded and said yes.

Yan Lihui got up from the chair. He smiled at Yan Shi and said: “Come, dad will take you to your room.”

The room that Yan Lihui prepared for Yan Shi was on the third floor. Both of them went out of the elevator with one in front and one following at the back. Yan Shi focused on the heels of Yan Lihui’s feet.

They’d only taken a few steps when Yan Lihui halted. Yan Shi could hear an obvious delight in Yan Lihui’s voice.

“Ah Yu, you’re home so early?”

“Yeah.” The man’s voice was very pleasant to hear, but it was oddly filled with coldness.

Yan Lihui seemed to suddenly think of something. He said to Yan Yu, “Ah Yu, let me introduce you, this is Yan Shi. Yan Shi, call your brother.”

Yan Shi only raised her head at this time and saw a tall, young man with long legs. The man was wearing a black suit. He had handsome facial features with straight and tall eyebrows. His eyes drooped slightly as if he was looking at her, but it didn’t seem like he was looking at her.

The word ‘brother’ was stuck in Yan Shi’s throat. She couldn’t voice it out no matter what. Yan Shi lowered her head like a quiet and antisocial person.

Yan Lihui spoke to break the silent atmosphere, “Ah Yu, Xiao Shi is just being too introverted.”

Yan Yu turned away his gaze that was on Yan Shi. He said to Yan Lihui: “Dad, I still have other things to do.”

Yan Lihui said: “Go, don’t be too late. Tonight, let’s eat together as a family.”

“Sure.”

After Yan Yu said that, he went around both of them to walk towards the elevator. He didn’t even give Yan Shi a second look as he passed.

The moment when Yan Yu walked past her, Yan Shi could smell Yan Yu’s scent, it was the smell of a faint aromatic incense. It was the kind of incense that smelled a little bitter but it wasn’t too strong, giving others a tranquil feeling.

Yan Shi turned around to glance at Yan Yu subconsciously, and coincidentally met Yan Yu’s eyes.

That pair of eyes were bright and sharp. Yan Shi couldn’t see any emotions towards herself in his eyes. Yan Shi then quickly turned her eyes away.

Yan Shi thought that it wasn’t that Yan Yu didn’t hate an illegitimate child like her. He just treated her as invisible like the air.

But it might be better like this. She didn’t want to have too strong a presence in Yan family.
