An Ning had no choice but to remain silent.

She used to really dislike An Yu, but with time, feelings change as the heart softens.

She said those words, as she intended, only to sever An Yu’s persistent yearning for this side.

Unfortunately, none of them understood, and now, even Mrs. Yan didn’t want to hear her explanation.

Actually, An Ning’s consideration wasn’t wrong.

An Bingfeng would never agree to let An Yu stay here, and they had no power to resist An Bingfeng.

If An Yu kept wanting to see them, it would truly anger An Bingfeng, which would be detrimental for both An Yu and Mrs. Yan.

Thus, time passed for quite a while, and nobody sent them any meals.

An Ning could clearly hear Mrs. Yan’s stomach loudly growling.

In the darkness, An Ning took out a piece of red bean cake from her space and handed it to Mrs. Yan, "Mom, you must be hungry. I have some food here. Eat something to fill your stomach."

"Food, where did you get it?" Mrs. Yan was surprised.

"I bought it when returning from the county. Originally, I carried it with me, but before I could get home, we were captured here. Thankfully, this can at least fill our belly." An Ning said with a bitter smile, looking at the red bean cake in her hand.

In fact, An Ning had stored this in her space long ago, and there were other ready-to-eat items there too. She thought they might be useful in urgent times, but didn’t expect to use them so soon.

Mrs. Yan didn’t refuse, taking the red bean cake.

Then, she opened the outer package and pinched two pieces to hand back to An Ning, "You haven’t eaten for a long time, eat something quickly, we need to save a few pieces to give to your brother."

As for herself...

Ignoring the growling stomach, Mrs. Yan comforted herself inside, telling herself she wasn’t too hungry.

An Ning was still a child, and she had been seriously injured not long ago. She couldn’t go hungry anymore.

Also, Yuyu. Although her vision was poor in the dark, she could feel the warm blood on the child’s body. From listening to these two talking, she could vaguely guess that Yuyu was probably beaten heavily by those people.

He needed strength to recover his wounds, so he couldn’t go hungry anymore.

Thinking of An Ning and An Yu, but Mrs. Yan overlooked her own injuries, once more serious than An Ning’s.

Just when Mrs. Yan turned to walk toward An Yu, An Ning stopped her, instead handing back the pastries she had just received to Mrs. Yan, and taking the red bean cake wrapped in paper from her, saying, "Mom’s eyes aren’t very good, and he’s injured too, let me go feed him."

As she spoke, An Ning didn’t give her a chance to object and turned to walk toward An Yu.

Initially, Mrs. Yan was worried but her hand, reaching out to stop, lowered silently.

Smiling with relief on her face.

For once, Ningning was willing to take the initiative to approach Yuyu, perhaps it was a good thing, she decided not to disrupt their sibling interaction.

Mrs. Yan even moved slightly to the side, trying to leave more time and space for the siblings to be together.

Yet, her attention was still dominated by An Ning and An Yu, because she feared they would argue again and end up fighting.
