Chapter 216 Get the Certificate Early

An Ning fell on him, pressing the weight of her entire body against him, but afraid of touching his hands, she carefully supported his shoulders with both hands.

Lu Xiyan put one hand on the back of the chair and held the back of her head with the other hand, and kissed her lips gently. The fragrance of her body permeated his nose, making him hold her tighter and plunder her sweet breath.

He kissed her deeply, and seeing that there was no one around, An Ning let him do whatever he wanted.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came from far away.

"It seems I came at the wrong time."

When Lu Lixiao's voice came, An Ning was suddenly startled. She immediately jumped up from Lu Xiyan and hurriedly got off him.

Lu Lixiao and Ji Xiu stood not far away, slightly turning sideways to avoid looking at them.

Lu Xiyan glanced sideways, squeezed An Ning's hand, and signaled that she was fine. Then he sat up, straightened his clothes, and said with a smile, "Grandpa is here."

Lu Lixiao came here at this time, he must be looking for Lu Xiyan.

An Ning nodded slightly, "I'll go pour tea."

Watching her leave, Lu Lixiao sat down in front of Lu Xiyan.

Looking at his left hand, "How's your hand?"

Lu Xiyan smiled lightly, "It's no problem, just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

Lu Lixiao frowned slightly, "Don't always say there's no problem. You're still young, and if something goes wrong with your hand one day, it will be a big trouble."

Lu Xiyan smiled and said, "Thank you for what happened that day, Grandpa."

On the day Cheng Wanwan took An Xian away, it was Lu Lixiao who first led his men to find Cheng Wanwan's location. He found out that the paternity test Cheng Wanwan gave him was tampered with by her, and guessed that she might have some interest in An Xian.

He was more careful and unexpectedly saved the child's life.

"I like that child very much." Lu Lixiao said, "Just like you when you were little, lively and smart, and can also coax people with his words."

Lu Xiyan curled the corners of his mouth slightly. This was the first time that the grandfather and grandson had sat down and chatted calmly since their last quarrel.

He knew in his heart that the old man in such a high position of power was willing to come to him on his own initiative, which was already giving him a way out.

"An Xian didn't grow up by my side. It was An Ning who taught him well." Lu Xiyan handed the peeled orange on the table to Lu Lixiao and said with a smile, "Grandpa, try it. The orange peeled by An Ning is very sweet."

Lu Lixiao lowered his eyebrows to take a look, then reached out to take it.

"She peeled it for you, not for me."

Lu Lixiao said this, but he still ate a petal and it was indeed sweet.

Lu Xiyan said with a smile, "Grandpa, if you want your granddaughter-in-law to honor you, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Lu Lixiao nodded without saying anything, then asked, "Are you really not going back to Ou Teng?"

The old man had a long way to go, and Lu Xiyan certainly knew that it was not easy for the old man to achieve this.

But after leaving Oteng, he never thought of going back.

"I'm not going back." He looked at Lu Lixiao with a serious look in his eyes, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I have more important things to do."

The answer seemed to be expected. Lu Lixiao sighed softly, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not force you. I respect your choice."

"But," he softened his voice, "Xi Yan, whenever you want to come back, just tell Grandpa."

He glanced at Ji Xiu behind him, and Ji Xiu put the things he brought on the table.

It is a share transfer document.

"I'll just give you a long vacation and let you explore according to your own wishes."

He pointed at the documents on the table and said, "But Grandpa can't give you too long of a vacation. Just three years."

He looked at Lu Xiyan and said, "In three years, no matter how far you have progressed in what you want to do, you must come back and inherit the Lu Group."

"I'm not forcing you," Lu Lixiao explained. "Lu Group has always been yours. Grandpa is old and really wants to retire. I also want to relax sooner and play football with my little great-grandson. If he wants, I can also take him to school and pick him up after class."

At this point, Lu Lixiao smiled and said, "While I can still walk, I will enjoy the happiness of family life."

An Ning brought the tea over and just heard Lu Lixiao say this.

She walked over gently, put the tray on the table, picked up a cup of tea and placed it in front of Lu Lixiao.

Just as she was about to bring it over for Lu Xiyan, he grabbed her wrist and sat down next to her.

He turned and smiled at her, "Ningning, sit down for a while and chat with grandpa."

An Ning sat down obediently. Before she could say anything, she heard Lu Lixiao say to her, "Xianxian is a good child. You taught him very well. Train him well. When he grows up, he can do whatever he wants as long as he is happy."

The tone of voice was rare and gentle.

He looked at Lu Xiyan again, "You haven't taken the child to see your mother and father yet, right? Bring him over to see them someday. Your father will definitely be very happy to see that he has such a well-behaved grandson."

After he finished speaking, he took a sip of the tea that An Ning brought over, stood up and said, "You guys go ahead and get busy. I'm leaving first."

"grandfather."

An Ning suddenly called him.

Hearing the voice, Lu Lixiao stopped and looked at her.

An Ning stood up and smiled politely.

She knew what Lu Lixiao meant, which was to let An Xian return to her ancestral home. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words also implied that he acknowledged her identity.

"Grandpa, it's too early to call you that though."

She turned to meet Lu Xiyan's gaze and smiled slightly, "Xiyan and I are not married yet, so this title may be a bit inappropriate."

She looked at Lu Lixiao with a gentle and calm gaze, "But you are Xiyan's grandfather, so I should follow him and call you grandpa."

"I accept your apology. From now on, Xiyan and I will bring Xianxian to visit you often."

Lu Lixiao's eyes moved slightly, looking at An Ning's calm but firm eyes. After a while, he smiled lightly and nodded at her, "Xianxian is up to you, smart."

"However," he looked at An Ning and Lu Xiyan, "it's not too early to call me grandpa."

After saying that, he looked at Ji Xiu behind him and smiled meaningfully.

Ji Xiu was trying to suppress his laughter and was about to remind him, but he was interrupted by him raising his hand.

"Western Banquet." Lu Lixiao reminded him, "We can take our time planning the wedding, but we need to hurry up and get the marriage certificate."

He shifted his gaze to An Ning again and smiled kindly, "It's best if your identity is reasonable and legal."

After that, he picked up the half-eaten orange on the table and said, "Oranges are quite sweet. Bring me some when you go to the old house someday. Now I'm leaving."

Looking at Lu Lixiao's leaving back, An Ning turned to look at Lu Xiyan and they smiled at each other.

The sunshine came and dispelled all the haze.

......

A week later, two more cars came to the Yuhe Mansion. They belonged to the Cheng family.

In the first car sat Cheng Shao and Han Yun, and in the other car were all the gifts they brought, which were grand and exquisite.

Their purpose was very clear. Lu Xiyan found an excuse and took An Xian out, leaving An Ning and the Cheng couple some private conversation.

In the huge living room, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

An Ning looked up at Cheng Shao and Han Yun. After not seeing them for a week, they both looked much more haggard and had lost a lot of weight.

Especially Han Yun, who used to be well-maintained and delicate, but now she looks several years older.

Cheng Wanwan's body was salvaged and was claimed by Cheng Shao and Han Yun, who held a low-key funeral.

The two men who had experienced the pain of losing their daughter felt as if they had given up half their lives.

During these days, the couple hardly slept a wink.

If it weren't for her biological daughter, Han Yun would have collapsed long ago.

Han Yun looked at An Ning, her eyes moist again. When she opened her mouth, the word "An" just came out of her mouth, and she quickly changed her words, "...Ning Ning."

She asked An Ning, "When will you come home with us?"

An Ning met her tearful eyes and struggled in her heart for a long time.

After a while, she said softly, "I'm sorry, I don't plan to go back to the Cheng family."
