Chapter 14 I'll give you another ten million in pocket money.

An Zhiyu gave An Shixia a resentful look: "If you hadn't come soon, it wouldn't just be my ears that are red. Do you see my nose? Isn't it round? Isn't it red?"

Round and red, isn't that a clown?

An Shixia couldn't help but laugh out loud, then quickly covered her mouth: "Brother, you've suffered. Don't worry, it wasn't for nothing. I brought you a gift!"

"Oh, you brought me a gift? I'm actually looking forward to it. But you'd better come in quickly, or my parents will get impatient and I'm going to get a beating."

An Shixia followed An Zhiyu into the study. Before she even opened the door, Xiao Yin's voice came out: "Neither of the children is easy to deal with. Xiaxia is still young, which is fine, but Zhiyu is already married, yet he still acts like a child all the time."

The brother and sister outside the door exchanged a glance, both feeling guilty.

An Zhiyu coughed lightly and opened the door: "Mom, you can't do this. Why are you talking about us behind our backs?"

Before the word "Is what I said wrong..." could be uttered, his gaze fell on An Shixia.

An Shixia stepped forward and called out, "Mom, Dad."

An Shaoyuan was looking down at the newspaper when he heard the sound and suddenly looked up, and the study became quiet.

The three of them just watched, and none of them broke the silence.

An Zhiyu immediately pulled An Shixia to sit down: "Mom, I told you I had something to tell you today, I wasn't lying to you, here I am."

Xiao Yin's eyes were a little red, and she glared at An Zhiyu: "You keep everything a secret!"

"Mom, don't blame my brother. I told him not to tell you. I miss you."

An Shixia's eyes also reddened, and her fingers unconsciously tightened, gripping the gift in her hand tightly.

An Shaoyuan put down the newspaper in his hand and tried to put on a stern face: "Miss us? Then who is it that hasn't come home for two months?"

Xiao Yin nudged An Shaoyuan with her elbow and gestured to him with her eyes to stop being so aggressive.

An Shaoyuan remained silent and said no more.

"Dad, Mom, I've come back to apologize. I was immature before and hurt you. I will never do it again."

Xiao Yin looked at her in surprise, her eyes no longer red: "Xiaxia, what did you just say? Did I hear wrong? I actually heard Xiaxia say she was wrong?"

She looked An Shixia up and down, trying to see if the person in front of her was an imposter.

"Mom, you were right before. He Huaisheng is no good. I will never pursue him again."

This surprised not only Xiao Yin, but also An Zhiyu and An Shaoyuan.

An Zhiyu reached out and pinched his arm, letting out a yelp of pain: "It's not a dream."

"Dad, Mom, brother, I'm telling the truth this time. I've already moved out of school. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Yu."

Xiao Yin immediately stepped forward and hugged An Shixia, gently patting her back: "Xiaxia, we don't blame you. Your dad and I have thought about it. If you really like him that much, we will try to provide him with resources after you graduate from university. Your parents just don't want you to suffer."

An Shixia felt her mother's embrace, which felt both familiar and strange, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Seeing her cry, the three people in the family panicked. An Zhiyu frantically searched for tissues and handed them to Xiao Yin, who wiped away her tears, saying, "Xiaxia, be good, don't cry."

An Shaoyuan also stood up anxiously, wanting to do something, but there was nothing to do, so he sat down again.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. We're not blaming you. Since you know you were wrong, come home and spend more time with us from now on."

An Shaoyuan lowered his voice, his gaze fixed on the mother and daughter embracing.

An Shixia didn't cry for long, but he hadn't cried like that in front of his family in a long time since he grew up, and he felt a little embarrassed when he thought about it.

She stepped out of Xiao Yin's arms, took out the prepared gift, and suddenly turned to look at An Zhiyu: "Brother, isn't sister-in-law home?"

"She went on a business trip out of town and won't be back for a couple of days."

"Let's see the gifts I've prepared for you first."

An Shixia placed all the gifts on the table and handed the first one to Xiao Yin: "Mom, this is a bag that I carefully selected. I bet you'll like it."

"And Dad, I've been looking at this tie for a long time. It goes perfectly with your suit today. Would you like to try it on?"

An Shaoyuan maintained his strict father demeanor: "You're home now, why buy a gift? Do you have enough money? I'll give you another ten million in pocket money."

"Dad, that's enough, don't add any more."

While unwrapping the gift, Xiao Yin complained to An Shaoyuan: "He said he didn't want it, but he's actually more honest than anyone else. I don't know who it is that treats the cufflinks that Xia Xia gave him so casually like a treasure."

An Shaoyuan, having his shortcomings exposed, simply stopped pretending: "And you're one to talk! Who said a dress can't be worn twice? Xiaxia gave it to you, how many times have you worn it?"

"That's different!"

Watching her parents bicker, An Shixia felt a sense of peace and tranquility, and her heart was filled with warmth.

She is happy; she has many people who love her.

She is the protagonist of her own life.

A hand poked An Shixia's arm, and An Shixia looked at the owner of the hand: "What's wrong?"

"What about my gift?" An Zhiyu asked expectantly.

An Shixia handed him the remaining boxes: "Brother, these are for you and sister-in-law. She's not here, so you can keep them for her. This box contains yours; you can take a look."

Xiao Yin and An Shaoyuan, who received the gifts first, had already seen the full picture. Xiao Yin picked up her bag and struck a few poses: "Xiaxia, is it pretty?"

An Shixia looked up and saw that although Xiao Yin was over forty, she had fair skin, was well-maintained, and had a good figure, so she looked only about thirty.

"nice!"

Xiao Yin covered her mouth and laughed: "That's because our Xiaxia has good taste."

"Mom looks good, the bag is just an accessory."

Xiao Yin carefully put the bag down: "You're so sweet-talking."

As she spoke, she looked at An Shaoyuan, who was tying his tie, and said, "I told you Xiaxia has good taste. Look at your dad, he always wears the same black tie. This new color looks so much better."

An Shaoyuan puffed out his chest: "What color doesn't look good on me? The first tie you ever gave me was black, and I liked it."

After saying that, he added, "Of course, I also like the one Xiaxia gave me."

At that moment, An Zhiyu suddenly shouted, "Sister! You're my own sister!"

Xiao Yin slapped him on the head: "What are you saying? If she's not your biological sister, then who is?"

An Zhiyu covered his head and chuckled foolishly: "Xiaxia gave me a watch, and I was just thinking of getting a new one."

An Shaoyuan's eyes involuntarily fell on the watch in An Zhiyu's hand: "Look at this watch of mine, I've used it for more than ten years without changing it."

An Zhiyu pursed his lips and muttered something under his breath.

An Shaoyuan didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"
