Chapter 677 Coincidence

Mason was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. He also responded in English: "Hi, Carol. Nice to meet you too."

In fact, he can now understand Chinese in daily communication, but he can't speak it very well. His father has already enrolled him in a bilingual kindergarten, and he will be able to attend school in a few days.

But he was still very happy that someone could communicate with him in English.

"I brought some toys. Come and play with me." Fu Shifan took the initiative to invite.

Mason looked at Huo Dongcheng nervously, and only agreed when he saw Huo Dongcheng nod.

Fu Shifan pulled him to sit on the mat in the outer room and shared his toys with him.

Seeing that the two of them were getting along quite well, Huo Dongcheng smiled and said, "Fanfan is really cute and sensible."

"Of course." In front of Huo Dongcheng, Fu Zheng was not humble at all.

Huo Dongcheng looked at the baby in Wen Liang's arms, couldn't help but reach out and gently touch her hand, and said softly: "Aliang, what's her nickname? An An?"

An An moved her little arms and stared at Huo Dongcheng for a long time with her black grape-like eyes.

"Yes," Wen Liang looked at An An gently, "An An, this is your Uncle Huo."

Although An An didn't understand anything, he just knew how to blow bubbles.

Huo Dongcheng took out a square jewelry box from his pocket and opened it, revealing a golden longevity lock inside. "A gift for An An, a little token of my appreciation."

"Brother Dongcheng, you've spent so much money."

"An An is also my niece, it's only natural."

"Then I'll thank Brother Dongcheng on behalf of An An." Wen Liang glanced at Fu Zheng and motioned him to put it away.

Fu Zheng took the jewelry box from Huo Dongcheng and looked at the longevity locket. Well, the craftsmanship was very ordinary. He would go back and make a heavier and better-looking one for An An.

"Can I hug An An?" Huo Dongcheng asked again.

Wen Liang hesitated for a moment, but still handed An An over.

Huo Dongcheng took it carefully, his movements gentle as if he was handling a fragile treasure.

"She looks a lot like you." Huo Dongcheng looked at An An's facial features and smiled.

Fu Zheng: "..."

Tell lies with open eyes!

At this moment, An An suddenly smiled at Huo Dongcheng, revealing two small dimples.

Huo Dongcheng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled: "She is smiling at me."

Tang Shishi said, "An An has become more lively now. She's not shy at all and smiles whenever she sees people."

"Really? That's great," Huo Dongcheng hugged An An and shook her, "I wish I had such a lovely daughter."

Fu Zheng cleared his throat, walked forward, and said in a calm tone: "Is it time for An An to drink milk?"

Wen Liang calculated the time and said, "It's almost time."

Huo Dongcheng handed An An back to Wen Liang and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore."

"Brother Dongcheng, take care." Wen Liang looked at Fu Zheng, "Take good care of Brother Dongcheng."

Fu Zheng snorted softly, "Don't worry."

Before leaving, Huo Dongcheng said, "Mason, you stay here with your mother and sister. Dad will come to pick you up when the banquet starts."

"Okay." Mason blinked and agreed.

After the lounge door closed, Fu Shifan whispered to Mason, "You just got to know me, right? Actually, I saw you two months ago."

"Ah? When?" Mason was surprised.

"Call me sister and I'll tell you."

"elder sister."

"When Uncle Huo came to the airport to pick you up, he was on a video call with Auntie...your mom. I was there too. My dad told me that when you come to Jiangcheng next time, let me take you out for fun."

"Why do you call Mom aunt? Shouldn't you call her Mom?" Mason asked directly out of curiosity.

"That's your mother, not my mother..." Fu Shifan thought of Ilia and suddenly felt bad, "I want to call her mother, but... I'm afraid my aunt won't like it..."

"Why wouldn't Mom like it?" Mason tilted his head.

"Because I am the child of my father and another woman, my aunt is my stepmother. You know what a stepmother is, right?"

Mason thought of the Queen in Cinderella and suddenly understood, "Is my mother very mean to you?"

"Not really. Auntie treats me very well, and I like her very much, so I'm afraid she won't like me..." Fu Shifan held his chin in frustration, "I envy you so much. I wish I were your child too."

This was the first time someone said they envied him.

Mason thought about his previous life and didn't know what there was to envy.

He said, "I envy you too, for growing up healthy and living with your mother. So who is your mother?"

"Well... she wasn't nice to me anyway, so let's not talk about her."

Mason thought of his adoptive mother for a moment, and assumed that Sister Fanfan's biological mother would treat her the same way his adoptive mother treated him. He also felt a little sympathetic towards Sister Fanfan. "By the way, why do you speak English?"

Fanfan explained, "When I was little, I lived with my grandmother in Los Angeles. Do you know Los Angeles?"

Mason frowned and said, "I think I've heard of it."

"There are still many of my friends there. I can ask my dad to take us there when he has time."

Mason looked at her with sparkling eyes. "Do you have many friends?"

Fu Shifan thought for a moment and said, "It's not so bad. There are only about... 20 or so."

“Wow, that’s a lot!”

Fu Shifan shook his head proudly, "If you stay here for a few days, I can introduce you to each other."

On the other side, Aunt Zhang prepared the milk powder, and Wen Liang held An An and fed her.

Tang Shishi helped hold the bottle and whispered, "Mason looks a lot like you. What's going on between you and Huo Dongcheng? Tell me!"

Wen Liang had no choice but to whisper a brief account of what happened between her and Huo Dongcheng in Philadelphia.

Tang Shishi opened her mouth wide and said, "...I was drunk and mistook him for Fu Zheng? What a coincidence! I just heard a rumor not long ago that Huo Dongcheng and Fu Zheng are half-brothers. No wonder they look a bit alike."

"Yes." Wen Liang wiped the corner of An An's mouth.

"Well, if you ask me, you could have just gone with the flow and tried with Huo Dongcheng. He's no worse than Fu Zheng and he likes you, so you wouldn't have to suffer so much later." Tang Shishi still doesn't like Fu Zheng.

Wen Liang smiled and said, "You know I was too obsessed with Fu Zheng at that time."

"So...how is Fu Zheng's acceptance of this matter? I don't think he and Huo Dongcheng get along well."

"To be honest, he knew it earlier than I did and kept it a secret from me."

"Good fellow." Tang Shishi praised sincerely in her heart, "Emperor Fu is quite magnanimous."

Why does it sound so weird?

Wen Liang: "Not really. He wants to find Mason secretly and never let him appear in front of me."

"..." Tang Shishi twitched her lips. "Okay, but he has Fanfan, and you have Mason. You two are just right, so we're even."

If we have an argument and bring up old issues in the future, no one will be able to escape.

“…”

"But..." Tang Shishi frowned and continued, "What a coincidence! It's such a coincidence that I feel like you and Fu Zheng are a match made in heaven, especially since...the two children are about the same age."

What a coincidence!
