Everyone was shocked by the blue light and took several steps back, except for Gu An, who stayed close to Jiang Ruan to prevent any unforeseen events.

Stimulated by the blue light, Jiang Ruan felt a slight burning sensation on her patterned fingers. Immediately afterward, a pale blue sword appeared in the air, hovering above Jiang Ruan and Bai Yuan.

"What, what's going on? Gu An, you didn't do this, did you? If you dare to hurt my daughter, I'll fight you to the death!" Jiang's father was about to rush over in worry, but was stopped by Jiang's mother and Li Ming.

"Honey, don't rush. Let's see what happens first. I don't think he's that kind of person," Jiang's mother comforted him, as if soothing his hair.

Li Ming also grabbed his arm and said, "Uncle, don't be impulsive. This is nothing. You have no idea how capable Miss Jiang Ruan is. She will definitely be fine with this."

The two comforted him for a while before he calmed down. He said coldly, "I'll wait. If this kid dares to do anything wrong, I'll risk my life to make trouble for him."

"Alright, alright!" Jiang's mother patted him and nodded helplessly.

Actually, there was a reason why Jiang's mother protected Gu An. Gu An had once pursued Jiang Ruan very closely, but at that time, Jiang Ruan's heart and eyes were full of Du Ning. The only look she gave Gu An was the one from the argument between Gu An and Du Ning.

At that time, Du Ning hid behind Jiang Ruan and let her apologize to him on his behalf, just to protect the interests of his company.

Gu An could never bring himself to refuse Jiang Ruan, so the outcome was obvious.

Jiang's mother was a teacher and knew a lot about people and how to treat others. She could tell at a glance that Du Ning was not a good match, but since her daughter liked him, she could tolerate it.

As for Gu An, she knew him well. He was aloof and cold, but had strong skills. At a young age, he topped the wealth list and built a business empire on his own, earning praise from the country.

He has even become known as the most handsome male face in all of Asia thanks to his outstanding looks.

Such an outstanding person is deeply devoted to his daughter, even willing to give up everything to be with her, as long as she is willing.

But since her daughter was unwilling, she could only regretfully miss out on such a good son-in-law.

But things are different now. Fortune changes, and Du Ning is no longer as appealing. How could she not be happy? How could she let her husband ruin this relationship?

However, she was also worried, fearing that the blue crystal might be dangerous. She had seen the blue sword before; it was her daughter's sword. The current situation was beyond her comprehension, and she could only wait and see.

"Waaaaah!" The baby cried even harder after being blinded by the light. Jiang Ruan was anxious, but there was nothing she could do at the moment, and she felt very depressed.

She wanted to turn around and tell Gu An about her discomfort, but found that he had already hugged her and even used his arm to block the sword that was aimed at their child from above.

When the sword was two centimeters away from his arm, it paused, glanced lightly, and made a cut. A drop of blood fell and landed on the boy's forehead.

But it disappeared quickly, leaving only a rose-red flower mark on the forehead.

As the mark became more prominent, the crying stopped, the baby calmed down, and slowly opened its eyes, blinking its big eyes happily as it looked around.

"Ah, Mom, it's Mom! I've finally seen you. I'm conscious again! I can finally speak!"

The fact that the baby, who was less than a year old, spoke shocked Jiang Ruan. She looked around with a puzzled expression and found that she was the only one who was surprised; no one else reacted.

Jiang's mother even ran over and touched the baby's head, smiling gently, "The baby is in good spirits, he's even calling out."

Jiang Ruan was taken aback by what she heard, and looked up at her mother. "Mom, did you hear a voice?"

Jiang's mother gave Jiang Ruan a deep look, touched her head, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? She doesn't have a fever, so why is she talking nonsense? What kind of talk is a baby who's not even a year old? It's too early!"

Hearing Jiang's mother say this, Jiang Ruan frowned slightly, a faint doubt rising in her heart.

To verify her idea, she looked at Jiang's father again, "Dad, did you hear the same thing as Mom? He just made a few 'ah ah ah ah' sounds, without saying anything clear?"

Jiang Ruan couldn't help but laugh at herself after she finished speaking; how did she end up talking so strangely?

“You child, don’t talk nonsense. My nephew is perfectly normal. The strange and weird person you’re talking about is not him.”

Jiang's father received the signal from Jiang's mother's expression and continued what she had said.

Everyone else probably thought the same thing, but looking around, only Gu An beside him seemed a little different.

"You..." Jiang Ruan's words were interrupted by Zai Zai.

"He's a good man, a good man, he's my benefactor. Mommy, he saved you, he saved you!" The little boy was clearly excited when he saw Gu An, grabbing his little hand and throwing himself at him.

That kind of affection was even more genuine than that of one's own maternal grandparents.

"A good person? A benefactor?" Jiang Ruan felt a bit confused. How did this turn into this again? What did it mean? Why would they say that? Most importantly, why could she understand Bai Yuan's words? Everyone else, except Gu Anjun, looked at the somewhat strange Jiang Ruan with puzzled expressions.

"Let me hug you!" Gu An reached out and hugged the baby. Jiang Ruan could clearly see a relieved and satisfied smile on the baby's face. The baby even said, "It's so good to have Daddy here."

The word "Dad!" completely shattered Jiang Ruan's last remaining curiosity, as if the truth was struggling to emerge from the surface and unveil the last piece of paper.

Upon hearing those two words, Gu An's eyes darted away, and he took a step back, looking extremely unnatural.

"Mommy, don't be angry. I'm so happy right now, really happy. Mommy, don't be angry, hug me." The little one only stayed in Gu An's arms for a few minutes before struggling to return to Jiang Ruan's arms.

Jiang Ruan caught him, and then glanced around at the people. After confirming that no one seemed to find anything amiss, she immediately understood.

It turned out that only Gu An and she could hear the baby's words; no one else could hear them. What they heard was just the baby's babbling, which wasn't clear.

After realizing this, Jiang Ruan's heart softened completely. She was overjoyed and wanted to have a good talk with Zai Zai, but to her surprise, he quickly closed his eyes to rest.

In her excitement, she almost forgot that children in this age group love to sleep the most and need it the most.

"Mom and Dad, you should go back and rest first. I'll take care of Zai Zai and rest for a while. As for the rest of you, you can go do whatever you need to do. I'll explain these things to you after I've rested."

These matters naturally pertain to Zai Zai's existence and Gu An's affairs.
