Chapter 1213


    This was a decision secretly made by Master Hsu a long time ago.


    He thought that the Hsu family had owed Anthea too much, and he always wanted to make up for it.


    In the past, he might not be able to realize this goal. But now, so many years had passed, and


    Master Hsu nned to admit Anthea into the family book when she reached the age of twenty. Now,


    the Lunar New Year wasing, and she was about to be twenty years old ording to the


    lunar calendar. Master Hsu wanted her to publicly return to the family.


    "Anthea, I know what you''re thinking about, and I respect your choice! However, I''ve already


    decided on this!" Master Hsu said earnestly, "Grandpa is not young anymore. There are unexpected


    things in the world. A serious illness or disaster might suddenly strike me on any day... Who


    knows... That''s why I think I have to make preparation for you in advance! Once you enter the family


    book, if something unexpected happens to me, you will be justified as one of the heirs when I make


    up my will. I''ll be at ease after making you one of the heirs!"


    Hearing what the Old Master said, Anthea hurriedly replied, "Grandpa, thank you for thinking so


    much of me. I know you''re doing this for my sake!"


    She had never once thought of inheriting the old man''s legacy, but when she heard the old man''s


    words, she felt upset and happy at the same time.

    Master patted her with his hand, which was warm and full of wrinkles. "As you know it, don''t let


    grandpa down!"


    "Uh..." Anthea nodded and was touched.


    At that moment, an old friend approached Master Hsu, and they were then talking together. Anthea


    lowered her head, and her long and thick eyshes were like two small fans, casting shadows


    down.


    Her mood was just like arge mass of dark cloud that pressed downwardyer byyer, making it


    difficult for her to breathe.


    Anthea raised her head and looked at the tall and strong figure of Adam in the distance.


    Feeling his meaningful eye expressions, she pursed her lips like a child.


    Suddenly, Anthea''s mobile phone vibrated briefly.


    She took it out and saw Adam''s text message. "See you ten minutester in the backyard."


    After reading it, she quickly and stealthily put the phone back into her bag without anyone noticing


    it.


    After waiting for ten minutes, Anthea went over and told Master Hsu that she wanted to go to the


    bathroom. Then, she put down the beverage cup in her hand and pretended to go to the bathroom.


    She took small quick steps and walked out of the side hall.


    After greeting the people around him, Emerson was about to leave the party. He wanted to say


    goodbye to his little girl in person.


    Emerson noticed that Anthea went out of the side hall, fetched her down coat in the cloakroom, and


    walked towards the backyard. He raised his eyebrows and was surprised.


    Anthea''s footsteps were as tender as a cat''s.


    The party was held in winter, and most of the servants were serving the guests inside the vi. The


    front yard was fully parked by cars. For this reason, there was hardly anyone in the backyard, which


    was mostly covered by snow.


    Anthea walked around the side of the vi and searched for Adam for a long time. When she was


    about to take out her mobile phone to make a phone call, a big hand suddenly reached out from the


    storage room next to her and dragged her over.


    Anthea did not shout out or scream.


    She smelled a familiar masculine scent, apanied by the scent of pungent tobo.


    There was nomplight in the storage room. They could only see each other vaguely by dint of the


    moonshine. Adam put out the cigarette in his hand and then held Anthea into his arms. His long


    arms embraced her waist, while his chin rested on the top of her head.


    "It doesn''t matter. I''ve seen that no one woulde here." He whispered to her.


    At this, Anthea nodded with relief.


    She also reached out and wrapped her arms around his strong waist, burying her face deep into his


    chest.


    She called him softly, "Adam..."


    "Hum..." Adam replied.


    Anthea bit her lips and asked, "Did you hear what Grandpa announced at the party just now?"


    "Yes," Adam said.


    Anthea sighed faintly. "It seems that the path of our love will be more and more difficult..."


    Adam ced his palm on the back of her head and caressed it gently. He then said in a calm voice,


    "Anthea, don''t think too much about it. No matter what happens, I''ll always be with you."


    "Uh-huh!" Anthea nodded.


    She nestled herself deeply in his chest and felt the warmth of his body. There seemed to be a lot of


    powersing from Adam and transmitted to her. Her heart, which had been beating fast, gradually


    calmed down. Now she felt secure and at ease.


    Anthea knew that Adam hade here because he wanted to encourage her.


    When Adam noticed that Anthea became absentminded at the party because of Master Hsu''s


    announcement, his heart ached for her, and therefore he came out to meet her in such a ce.


    The two of them hugged each other quietly, and their feelings seemed to be connected.


    The temperature in the winter dropped to a very low degree, but they felt each other''s warmth. They


    were enjoying the warmth at this moment.


    However, they were not at home now, but inside the storage room of the Hsu family. The


    rtionship between them was, to some extent, very sensitive. It would be troublesome if one


    of the servants saw that they were hugging each other. Anthea struggled and wanted to get away


    from Adam and go back to the banquet, but she failed.


    Not only was Adam unwilling to let her go, but he even pinched her waist. "Why did you talk with


    Emerson Chiang for such a long time back then?" "Mm..." Anthea let out a low cry.


    "Didn''t I ask you to stay away from him?" Adam''s ck eyes narrowed and his hand tightened


    slightly. "Be honest with me."


    His tone was almost threatening. His handsome face now seemed to be written with the slogan


    "Leniency to those who confess; severity to those who resist."


    Actually, Anthea''s waist didn''t hurt much. She blinked her eyes and replied innocently, "We almost


    had nothing to talk about. He just said ''hello'' to me and then told me that he had two VIP tickets to a


    concert. He wanted to invite me to go there with him!"


    "Did you ept it?" Adam''s face suddenly darkened.


    "You guess!" Anthea deliberately kept the answer unknown.


    "..." Adam''s face darkened even more. It was almost as dark as the bottom of a pan.


    Anthea sniggered and quickly raised her arm to demonstrate her fidelity. "Of course I didn''t agree,


    and I refused him without hesitation! I told him that I already had a boyfriend, and I was afraid my


    boyfriend would be unhappy about it!"


    Hearing this, Adam raised his eyebrows slightly out of joy.


    After Anthea consoled him, he looked much better.


    He patted her head with his palm tenderly. "Good girl!"


    "Is there any reward?" Anthea looked up.


    Adam''s lips curled into a smile, "Yes."


    As soon as he finished speaking, her chin was lifted by his index finger.


    Anthea closed her eyes to enjoy the reward he was to give her.


    His thin lips sealed hers, and her delicate figure was underplete control of him.


    On this chilly winter night, the white steam that they exhaled spread all over their mouths and


    nostrils. The two of them greedily savored each other''s scent.


    Suddenly, Adam pressed Anthea''s head down into his chest.


    The muscles in his arms suddenly tensed up, while his ck eyes narrowed coldly. He shot a sharp


    look at somewhere. "Who?"


    Anthea''s body tensed up as well.


    Her heart was beating fast with fear, and she was virtually in a state of panic.


    In such a moment, she thought about many possibilities, each of which was enough to make her


    shudder.


    Anthea and Adam both looked back in that direction and caught sight of a tall and straight figure


    slowly walking out from under a big banyan tree next to the storage room. They didn''t know when


    this man had arrived there, and how long had he been standing there and peeping at them.


    Under the dim moonlight, the two of them could faintly recognize his handsome features. When he


    spoke, there was a romantic and poetic air in his whole expression. "Sorry to disturb your


    communication!"


    After the manpletely showed up, he turned around and walked away casually.


    Anthea swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva.


    Two secondster, she was almost recovered from the panic state."... It seems to be Young Master


    Chiang!"
