Late at night, a thin mist shrouded the manor.
The An family's ancestral hall is located in the northernmost part and is considered one of the An family's forbidden areas. Few people dare to come here on weekdays, and there is a sense of desolation in the silence.
An Ci knelt on the mat, her ears always paying attention to the movements outside. When she heard the footsteps going away, she stopped pretending and sat down on the ground.
"Are you stupid? Who would go looking for a fight?"
She looked up at Shen Mo and saw him kneeling on the mat with his back straight, like a statue.
"Everyone outside has left, stop kneeling." She reached out and pulled him.
Shen Mo sat down beside her, his eyes fixed on her back, "Did you get hurt?"
An Ci said nonchalantly, "It's okay."
"Let me see." Shen Mo said as he moved closer, his slender fingers resting on her collar.
Depend on.
An Ci quickly got up from the ground, his ears red. "Nothing to see. I told you it's okay."
Shen Mo's hand stopped in the air, and he looked up at her with a dark look in his eyes. "Why are you hiding if nothing is wrong?"
An Ci rolled his eyes at him, "Dude, this is the ancestral hall. It's inappropriate to argue here, right?"
Shen Mo raised his eyebrows, "It's OK if we don't stay in the ancestral hall?"
"That won't work either." An Ci glared at him.
Shen Mo smiled and withdrew his hand, crossing his arms across his chest. "Now that the loss is resolved, isn't it time to talk about what happened between us?"
An Ci quietly stepped back, his eyes flickering, "Isn't it just a meal for you? I'll treat you sometime."
Seeing that she started to act stupid again, Shen Mo narrowed his eyes dangerously and took a step forward with his long legs.
An Ci felt something was wrong when he saw his stern face.
"What are you doing?"
Every time he took a step forward, she took a step back. An Ci was forced into a corner with no way to retreat.
Shen Mo supported himself against the wall with his hands, trapping her in the small space of his arms.
"Still playing dumb, huh?"
An Ci shrank his neck and said confidently, "The ancestral hall is such a solemn and dignified place. It's inappropriate for us to discuss this here."
"Really? I think it's quite appropriate." Shen Mo said with a half-smile, "It's just right for all your ancestors to testify for me, so that you don't have to deny it after you've spoken."
Anci, "..."
Shen Mo didn't give her a chance to dawdle. He hooked his big hands around her waist and their bodies were pressed tightly together.
"What do you mean, Master An?"
The warm breath sprayed on her face, and An Ci had nowhere to hide. The two of them were so busy talking that they didn't notice the figure approaching outside.
Just as he was about to speak, the half-closed door was suddenly pushed open.
An Zhenxiong's voice was filled with thunderous anger. "What are you doing?"
An Ci was stunned.
An Zhenxiong looked at the two people hugging each other, and his eyes went dark.
After all, he still felt sorry for his little grandson, so he planned to come over to check on them and let them go back to rest. Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he saw them hugging each other intimately.
He was so angry that his face turned blue. "You, you two..."
An Ci quickly pushed Shen Mo away, "Grandpa, don't get excited, just listen to my explanation."
She walked over and tried to help him, but An Zhenxiong pushed her away and said, "You two, get over here."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
An Ci held his forehead and thought, it's over.
Shen Mo walked over and held her hand, "Don't worry, you can hide behind me later."
An Ci glanced at him sideways, "Did you do that on purpose?"
With his skills, there was no way he didn't notice that grandpa was coming.
Shen Mo looked at her, "If I say yes, will you be angry with me?"
Anci, "..."
Sooner or later she would be killed by him.
She sighed resignedly, "You'll take the beating later."
Shen Mo raised his lips, "Okay."
In the middle of the night, An Lan and his group were woken up.
The living room is brightly lit.
An Lan was confused, "Dad, what happened?"
An Zhenxiong looked at An Ci and the others with a stern face, his lungs about to explode with anger. "You two speak for yourselves."
Everyone looked at An Ci and the other man in confusion.
Song Xiunian asked, "Zizi, what did you do to make your grandpa angry over the phone?"
An Ci touched his nose, "That..."
Shen Mo held An Ci's hand and said shockingly, "Zizi and I are together."
One word can cause a thousand ripples.
Everyone was shocked, "What?"
"That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous." An Zhenxiong was furious. "You two are both men, how could you..."
An Lan glanced at An Ci and the other man, a look of determination flashing in her eyes. She stood up and said, "Dad, Zizi is not a boy, she is a girl."
After experiencing this incident, she realized that what she wanted to see most was her baby being safe, healthy and happy.
Before everyone could recover from Shen Mo's words, they were shocked by her words.
An Ci didn't expect his mother to reveal herself, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Song Xi asked in a daze, "Mom, what did you say?"
An Lan looked at An Zhenxiong and knelt down with a thud.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I lied to you."
An Zhenxiong's body swayed and he almost fell.
Shi Che quickly helped him up and said, "Uncle An, please sit down first and don't get excited."
An Lan lowered her head, her tone heavy, "When I gave birth to my son, there was turmoil in the family. I was afraid something might happen to you, so I lied. Dad, I'm sorry."
Song Xiunian felt sorry for his wife and quickly went forward to help her up, "Lanlan, get up first."
"Xiunian, I'm sorry, I lied to you too." An Lan looked at him with an apologetic expression.
Song Xiunian shook his head. "As long as it's your child, whether it's a boy or a girl, I like it because it's our child."
