Cheng Anyue was a little embarrassed that she had done something stupid again when she wasn't paying attention. She carefully retreated to a safe area and lowered her head, waiting to be lectured.

Seeing how careful she was, an Shijin's complexion improved slightly. His gaze suddenly fell on the phone in her hand.

"Whose?"

"Ah?" Cheng Anyue raised her head and looked at him in confusion.

Noticing his gaze, she glanced at him and replied,""A friend lent it to me."

"My boyfriend." There was no doubt in an Shiyun's tone.

"No!" Cheng Anyue immediately denied it, but she noticed that an Shilin was staring at her, clearly in disbelief.

"It really isn 't," she said in a small voice, a little embarrassed.

"That's the person who's chasing you. " An Shiyun said indifferently.

"Yes, I am." Cheng Anyue said honestly.

An Shijin furrowed his brows slightly."At your age, it's more important to study."

"I know. I have nothing to do with him." Cheng Anyue quickly explained,"we're just friends."

Seeing the little girl's nervous expression, an Shiyu stopped asking."Don't come home late in the future."

"Yes." Cheng Anyue lowered her head and whispered.

Cheng Anyue slowly raised her head when she heard the sound of his footsteps fading away. When she saw the man enter the study, she instantly felt relieved.

He seemed to be easier to talk to than she had imagined.

Cheng Anyue looked at her phone. Hua Yu had replied to her message, asking her what she was doing. Have you eaten? and what are you going to do about the parents?

She was feeling a little frustrated, so she simply didn't reply to his message.

After returning to her room, Cheng Anyue changed her clothes and went downstairs.

The Butler had already ordered the dishes to be served. Cheng Anyue apologized,""Grandfather Butler, I'm sorry that I'm late today. Please help me apologize to the driver. I made him wait for so long."

The Butler smiled."Miss, you've been studying hard. You don't have to apologize. Besides, young master had already instructed us, so the driver didn't have to wait long."

Learn? Cheng Anyue looked at him in surprise. Where did he get this from?

Most importantly, did young master give any instructions? What instructions?

Cheng Anyue looked at the Butler with a puzzled expression."Grandfather Butler, could it be that the young master knows that I will be home late tonight?"

The Butler was confused."It was indeed young master's orders. Didn't you know?"

Cheng Anyue shook her head. Only she and Hua Yu knew that she would be returning late tonight. Hua Yu definitely wouldn't tell on her, so how did an Shiyu know?

The Butler didn't know what was going on either. Since it was Cheng Anyue's matter, he didn't ask too much and only asked her to eat more.

With something on her mind, Cheng Anyue didn't eat much and was full.

Back in her room, she lay on the bed and felt increasingly uneasy. If an Shiyu knew that she would be home late, then she must have known where she was going.

Did he know about the things that happened in school?

Cheng Anyue suddenly sat up and looked in front of her with a frightened expression. No way, how did he know about what happened in school?

She felt a headache coming on when she thought about the terrible news of her inviting her parents.

She harbored some hope in her heart, but perhaps she was just overthinking and scaring herself.

She lay back on the bed, but her heart could not calm down.

When he said 'don't return home late', it was clear that he knew everything. The more Cheng Anyue thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She was in a dilemma, but in the end, she chose to be honest.

In the study, an Shijin looked at the young lady who had suddenly appeared in front of him. There was no surprise on his handsome face."I thought you would come a little later."
