Gu An'an, who had just become a mother, was still in shock, as was Jiang Mingzhu. When she saw the person suddenly staring at her, her face turned pale instantly. "Why are you mimicking me?"

Chen Bei's eyes widened. "Did I mimic your speech?"

"No?"

The boy scratched his head, a hint of shyness in his eyes. "I'm sorry, little sister Zhu'er, I didn't mean it. I just really wanted to act cute with Mother, but she said I'm a boy and can't be like my older sister."

Jiang Mingzhu frowned upon hearing this. "Why do adults always like to dictate how girls should behave and how boys should behave? That's so outdated."

"Yes, I think so too."

“My mother is very good. Even though I am a girl, she made me learn martial arts.”

"That's great! Sister Zhu'er, you're a martial artist too. I also practice martial arts with my brother. We can spar sometime."

"I learned martial arts to protect myself, not to fight with others."

“What Sister Zhu’er said makes sense, then we won’t spar.”

Gu An'an looked down at the two children chatting in her arms and cleared her throat. "Why don't you two find somewhere else to chat?"

Is the big locust tree at the gate of the courtyard on her chest?

Jiang Mingzhu belatedly realized, "Then you shouldn't have acted like a spoiled child in my mother's arms. She is my mother."

Chen Bei smiled sheepishly, "It's okay, I can call you 'Mom' too." Then she looked at Gu An'an and sweetly called out, "Mom."

Jiang Mingzhu: "...You pervert!"

The boy who had been hit covered his face, wondering what kind of hooligan had done.

"Sister Gu, why did Pearl hit me?"

Gu An'an had a bit of a headache. Although she didn't want this youngest son to inherit the family business, she should still teach him properly. How could she say such things carelessly?

After she explained, Chen Bei finally understood, "I didn't mean it. I'll go apologize to Sister Zhu'er."

With the young master of the Chen family finally leaving, Gu An'an felt as if a heavy stone had been lifted from her chest, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sister Gu, I still feel like I've seen Sister Zhu'er somewhere before."

Why is he channeling Baoyu again?

Gu An'an said patiently, "It's okay, everyone says so, you don't need to be too surprised."

"Is that so? Then it must be because my sister is too beautiful."

The young master of the Chen family has a sweet tongue and a good temper; he is not an arrogant person.

His only flaw is his cross-dressing fetish; he's a complete cross-dresser.

Of course, Gu An'an didn't see this as a problem.

Gender identity disorder, in a sense, is a problem with Mrs. Xie's parenting style.

I'm not a psychologist, so I might not be able to correct it. I just need to take good care of the person for the next month.

On the morning of the second day after returning to Anping County, Gu An'an saw Chen Bei in the courtyard, squatting in a horse stance with Jiang Mingzhu.

The young man did indeed have some martial arts foundation; his horse stance was very solid.

Good morning, Sister Gu.

Gu An'an nodded and looked at the front yard.

"Uncle Jiang went out last night and hasn't come back. Did he go out drinking and carousing?"

Gu An'an was speechless after hearing this.

Uncle Jiang?

Drinking with courtesans?

If this gets out, Jiang Yong'an's reputation could be ruined by this person.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Chen Bei quickly whispered, "I understand, little sister Zhu'er, don't be angry."

He felt increasingly familiar with this younger sister, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

However, Gu An'an, seeing Chen Bei's carefully apologetic appearance, suddenly realized something—

How did this child know that Jiang Yong'an hadn't returned?

Do you know roughly when he went out?

"It was probably around midnight. I heard a noise and thought there was a thief."

Upon seeing that it was the man who lived in the front yard, Chen Bei went back to sleep.

This kid is pretty good at kung fu.

Gu An'an didn't think too much about it. "Zhu'er, remember to eat breakfast later. I'll go to the shop first."

Jiang Mingzhu agreed and continued squatting in a horse stance.

Chen Bei didn't practice these basic skills much anymore. After Gu An'an left, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and asked, "Sister Zhu'er, are you hot? Do you want to wipe your sweat?"

The handkerchief was embroidered with a red plum blossom, making it even more exquisite than Jiang Mingzhu's handkerchief.

The girl shook her head. "No, thank you."

Chen Bei wasn't discouraged. She smiled and put away the handkerchief. "I heard that Sister Gu's shop is doing very well. I'll go help out later."

Jiang Mingzhu was skeptical. "Don't make things worse."

How could that be?

He has hands and feet, of course he can help with the work, how could he possibly make things worse?

You're overthinking it.

However, Gu An'an refused Chen Bei's offer to help at the shop.

She doesn't discriminate against transvestites, but she can't guarantee what others will think.

If things escalate, it will definitely not be good for their business.

"Abei, do you want to go to your aunt and uncle's house? Now that you're here, it's necessary to let them know."

Chen Bei shook his head. "My aunt thinks I'm a disgrace and doesn't like seeing me."

The young master of the Chen family had a worried look on his face, which was truly pitiful to see.

Gu An'an felt a pang of sympathy and said that not many people could accept this cross-dressing fetish.

If even family members can't be helped, how can we rely on outsiders?

These days, all you do is sing...

Opera performers.

Gu An'an thought the idea was a bit bold. "Has A-Bei ever heard a theatrical troupe perform?"

Chen Bei shook his head. "My mother said that I am a young master of the Chen family, how could I do such a lowly profession? She never let me go to the opera troupe."
