When An Ning met Lu Xiyan again after four years, she was wearing the cheapest clothes from a wholesale market, had just been slapped, and was squatting at his feet picking up hospital payment slip...
Chapter 49 Is that handsome uncle Dad?
A slender figure came in from the door and almost immediately looked towards An Xian's position.
At the same time, I also noticed the man at the next table.
An Ning's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Her surprised eyes met the man's cold gaze in mid-air, and her heart was pounding.
"Mother!"
An Xian immediately got down from his seat, ran over and hugged her.
The surroundings seemed to have fallen into silence.
Lu Xiyan could clearly hear his own heavy heartbeat.
This little boy is her son!
Little An Xian didn't notice anything was wrong with An Ning. He hugged her excitedly and told her, "Mom! The handsome uncle is over there."
His white and tender little fingers landed in the direction of Xiyan.
An Ning's hand was shaking as she held An Xian's.
She heard An Xian say during the day that he met a handsome uncle in the hospital. At that time, she thought that the child was using adjectives randomly, and there was no such thing as a handsome uncle.
Turns out... it was him!
Because she found a job, she wanted to take An Xian out for dinner.
The little girl thought the Japanese food in the cartoons was delicious and wanted to try it too, so she asked Zhao Li to bring An Xian to the Japanese restaurant.
Unexpectedly, I met him again in such a place.
How coincidental!
While An Ning was still in a daze, the tall figure of the man was already walking forward towards her.
He stopped one step away from her, and there was a hint of emotion in his usually arrogant eyes that An Ning could not understand.
The aura around him was still clear, with an invisible sense of oppression.
"Your son?" he asked.
An Ning's throat was blocked, and she tightly grasped An Xian's hand, "Yes."
At this moment, all the sounds around seemed to fade away. An Ning heard him ask word by word, "What's your name?"
An Ning's fingers trembled unconsciously and she hurriedly looked away.
Before she could answer, the little man next to her introduced himself, "Uncle, I'm An Xian, you can call me Xian--um."
Before she could finish her words, An Ning quickly covered her little mouth.
"His name is An Xian."
"An Xian?" Lu Xiyan's clear eyes examined An Ning's every expression, "Xian?"
An Ning's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Xianyue means, I like the moon."
Hearing this, the man sneered.
He stared at An Ning's fair and delicate face, trying to find out something from her eyes, "He likes shrimps--"
"Western Banquet!"
Cheng Wanwan suddenly called out the man's name, interrupting his question. She walked over to him in her high heels and greeted him as if she had just seen An Ning. "Is An Ning here too?"
An Ning looked at Cheng Wanwan, who was wearing a high-end dress and had exquisite makeup, and she looked a perfect match standing next to Lu Xiyan.
It seems that the two of them are on a date.
She felt a pang of sadness in her heart, but then she heard Cheng Wanwan say with a smile, "What a coincidence! I was just talking to Xiyan about choosing an engagement dress. An Ning, are you free? How about we have dinner together? You have good taste, so you can give me some advice."
"No." Miss An held An Xian's hand, "The child is too naughty and wants to eat something else. We will leave first."
"An Ning." Cheng Wanwan called her and reached out to tease An Xian's fair face. "So this is your child? I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, your child has grown up so much. I bet your husband treats you very well, right?"
When Cheng Wanwan said this, she did not notice that Lu Xiyan's eyes were gloomy.
But An Ning felt the bone-chilling coldness.
She smiled and said only, "I won't disturb you from eating."
Then he quickly left the Japanese restaurant with An Xian and Zhao Li.
Zhao Li didn't understand. Xianxian obviously liked eating Japanese food in this restaurant, so why did Miss An suddenly leave?
"Miss An, Xianxian he——"
"Sister Zhao." An Ning warned her, "When you're out in the future, try not to call him Xianxian. Call him Anxian instead."
Zhao Li didn't understand the difference, but she nodded and agreed, "Okay, Miss An."
On the way back, little Anxian leaned in An Ning's arms, holding a toy that came with the children's meal.
It's a motorcycle made of small Lego pieces.
Red and black, very cool.
He liked this little toy very much and couldn't let it go.
"Mom." He looked up. "That handsome uncle, is he Dad?"
An Ning was staring at the receding shadows of the trees outside the window. She was startled by his question and looked at his dark pupils filled with doubt. "Why do you ask that?"
Little Anxian played with the toy in his hand and said in a baby voice, "It's a bit like that."
An Ning was slightly stunned. She had never shown An Xian a photo of Lu Xiyan.
Gently touching his soft hair, she asked, "How are they similar?"
"Mom said that Dad is very handsome, tall, fair, and handsome..." An Xian raised her eyes and looked at An Ning, "That handsome uncle is just like what Mom said, and he also gives me food. Xian Xian likes him a little bit."
An Ning's heart suddenly felt a sharp pain as if it were being stabbed by needles. She looked at little An Xian's innocent eyes, and his facial features which were very similar to that man's, and was so depressed that she couldn't speak.
Is blood relationship really so powerful and magical?
"Xianxian." An Ning lowered her eyes and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead. "He's not my father. He's just... a very good uncle."
Hearing this, Xiao Anxian's eyes dimmed and he looked a little lost.
Mom always says that Dad is a good person and that he has a father.
But he has never seen his father.
Although he didn't say it, he missed his father very much.
"Mom." He raised his eyes again and asked, "Can I play with that uncle in the future? I like him very much."
An Ning's eyes welled up, and she whispered to him softly, "Xianxian, we can't get too close to him. He and we are not from the same world."
"Why aren't we in the same world?" Xiao Anxian was puzzled. "We are not aliens. We are clearly in the same world."
An Ning was suddenly startled, and a fragment of memory suddenly flashed through her mind.
"Lu Xiyan, I feel like we are not from the same world."
Hearing this, the man's lips curved up beautifully, and he moved closer to her to carefully examine her pretty features.
Then, he feigned surprise and said in a doting tone, "Wow, I didn't realize my baby is an alien!"
She was amused by his sudden actions and words. He could always easily resolve her worries and give her a full sense of security.
"Baby." He pecked her eyelashes lightly, his smile warming her heart. "Even if we are not in the same world, I will still break into your world without hesitation."
"Mother?"
The tender little hand gently tugged at her fingers, "Why are you crying?"
