What's the point of giving it up? Can it be given to others?
Lu Tianchen thought with dissatisfaction, thinking that the little fool was just being coquettish and said that on purpose.
He reached out and pressed the curly little head, asking the boy to get closer to him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? No one can take me away from you."
The voice An Xing heard seemed to be right next to his ear, across his chest. It was indulgent, a little vague, and seemed to reach the bottom of his heart.
"Only you are worthy of my kindness."
What should I do if the little fool is acting like a spoiled brat? Of course, I should spoil him.
"Oh no, I'm not that good!"
The boy's curly hair stood up instantly and he waved his hands, with a shy yet smug look on his round face.
Lu Tianchen: ...
Lu Tianchen always felt that the boy’s reaction was not right, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong. He stared at him for a long time with his narrow black eyes, but couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
He wanted to study it further, but the red light had turned green, so he had to continue driving and send An Xing back to school first.
"Thank you, Brother Shen. I'm leaving now."
When they arrived at the school gate, since it was past the visiting hours and cars from outside were not allowed to enter the school, An Xing planned to walk back to the dormitory from the gate. While unbuckling his seat belt, he thanked the people obediently.
When he opened the car door and prepared to get out, he was suddenly grabbed by the man by the wrist.
"Xingxing, you can try to rely on me a little more."
"..."
An Xing paused, looked up at the man, her light brown eyes were wet.
"Uncle An and Aunt Shen are not your biological parents. You don't want Ning Rong to think too much, nor do you want to waste their feelings for you, so you want to be independent. But this does not mean that you have to bear everything by yourself."
"But I will always be with you, try to rely on me more."
The man who forced Sun Cheng to drink and wash his mouth with a cold face in the bar and the man who looked at him with a gentle expression under the warm yellow light were the same person.
Although there was no smile on the man's face, the light in his eyes was incredibly soft.
"After all, I'm the best to you, right?"
“Oh, that’s right!”
An Xing was instantly mesmerized by his brother Shen's beauty and nodded.
After watching the boy show his student ID and walk into the school gate, the smile in Lu Tianchen's eyes slowly faded. He did not start the car immediately, but sat in the dark for a while before coming back to his senses from his contemplation.
The man unlocked his phone, made a call, then started the car and drove into the darkness.
"Secretary Dong, I need you to work overtime tonight to collect some information for me. I'll pay you for the overtime."
"The Sun family is in real estate. Collect some information about their family members."
"Especially the situation of Sun Cheng, the only son of the Sun family."
On the other hand, An Xing didn't know what Lu Tianchen was planning to do secretly. On the way back to the dormitory, he received a video call from An Zhaoming and Shen Ying, and quickly picked up the call.
"Xingxing! Has our Xingxing been wronged again today?"
As soon as the video was connected, the woman's beautiful face with worry appeared on the other side of the camera. Then, An Zhaoming appeared next to her holding a tablet.
"Rongrong told us everything. Xingxing, don't be angry, that guy surnamed Sun deserves to be punished! Wait for dad to tell his father, beat that brat to death!"
The middle-aged man had anger on his face, but it was not directed at An Xing. He knew about those disgusting and dirty speculations, but he did not think it was An Xing's fault or that An Xing was ashamed. He was angry because Sun Cheng's malicious speculations offended An Xing's dignity.
An Xing felt warm in his heart and moved closer to talk to his parents through the screen.
"I'm fine. I'm not feeling bad. Don't worry, Mom and Dad!"
Who could continue to be angry when being touched by such a soft kid? Anyway, An Zhaoming's anger had subsided a little. His expression softened a little, and he almost leaned over to look through the screen...
Chen Ying slapped her husband and glared at him. It was enough to have a stupid kid at home, how come you were also infected and became stupid!
An Zhaoming coughed lightly, and when An Xing finished pasting and looked at the screen again, he returned to his serious expression.
"Anyway, if that Sun Cheng talks to you like this again, tell daddy! If he sends you messages to harass you, take screenshots and send them to me, and I'll go find Old Sun! What kind of son do you have? He's so outrageous!"
Speaking of this, An Zhaoming became a little annoyed again.
Even if Xingxing is not his biological son, he has raised him as his own son for so many years. Now Xingxing stays at home, firstly because the Ning couple has passed away, and secondly because they have plans for Xingxing.
But when the Sun family kid said that, it seemed like Xingxing was staying in the An family and scheming for their family's wealth and glory, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to them. He said that the child he raised with great care was a scheming person. Was he scolding Xingxing?
The one being scolded is him! They are the ones who made their home! If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked!
The Sun family is trying to find trouble with the An family!
An Zhaoming climbed up the mountain like crazy, full of anger. He didn't say anything to upset his son, but just told An Xing not to keep silent. An Xing probably understood something and obediently complied with his father's request.
After hanging up the video call, An Zhaoming and Shen Ying looked at each other, still a little worried.
"Do you think Xingxing will not come back because of what that kid from the Sun family said?"
Shen Ying grabbed her husband's hand, feeling a little worried.
An Zhaoming hesitated for a moment: "It should be... not?"
Sun Cheng's words were obviously disgusting. If I became estranged from them because of such disgusting words, that would be so stupid.
Chen Ying glared at the man: "Don't you know that our kid is...stupid!"
Whoever raises the child knows it well. If you put it nicely, your own child is broad-minded. If you put it bluntly, he is just stupid!
Such a silly boy, but also has some strange little persistence. It is hard to say what An Xing will do when his dignity is offended this time!
An Zhaoming: ...
An Zhaoming rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
"It's okay. Rongrong's identity will be announced at the end of this month. When the two children come back this weekend, we should have a good talk with them and talk about our future plans."
Since Ning Rong was their biological son, they had to recognize him, make his identity public, and transfer his household registration. Fortunately, after Ning Rong became an adult, the Nings made a separate household registration for him, and he could just transfer it to the An family household registration book, which was very simple.
However, An Zhaoming and Shen Ying did not want to move An Xing's household registration. They planned to adopt An Xing as their formal adopted son.
They had raised this child from a baby, and had poured all their love into him for twenty years. Even though they knew now that he was not their biological son, they had already invested their feelings into him, and how could they just transfer that love?
They would take on parental responsibilities towards Ning Rong and try to give him the same love and care, but they could not abandon An Xing.
After these days of observation and implicit tentative exchanges, An Zhaoming and Shen Ying discovered that Ning Rong also approved of their attitude.
There is no need to pay attention to the attitude of the second branch of the An family. When the Shen family heard about Shen Ying's decision and saw that Ning Rong had no objection, they would not have any objection.
So now, An Xing is the only one in the family who doesn’t know about it.
Chen Ying exhaled and nodded slowly.
"That's all I can do."
She thought about it, then took out her cell phone and called Lu Tianchen.
"Tian Chen still has to be present at that time, as well as the two children from the Xiao and Chen families."
As elders, their opinions are indeed important, but among the younger generation, An Xing must have the support of Ning Rong and others, so that people like Sun Cheng will not appear again in the future. Especially with the appearance of Lu Tianchen, An Xing will not be looked down upon in the early stage.
An Xing was born with a soft personality, and only with someone protecting her would she not be easily bullied. After this, it would depend on the child's own efforts.
The phone was connected, and Chen Ying explained her idea to Lu Tianchen, and the young man on the other end of the phone readily agreed.
"Don't worry, I will definitely show up on Xingxing's important day."
He paused, and said in a calm tone:
"If you think that announcing Xingxing as the adopted son of the An family is not enough, you can also announce the news of our engagement."
Chen Ying: ...
Chen Ying didn't know why this child's brain was so bad.
The little idiot looked like he had finally figured it out. They even announced their engagement together. If you want to scare the little idiot so much that he runs away, just say so!
The woman's voice is soft,
"That's not good. Engagement is a meaningful thing. How can we just announce it as a side event? Announcing too many things at once will distract everyone's attention."
"How about this, you announce the adoption first, and then announce the engagement on Xingxing's birthday. What do you think, Tianchen?"
Lu Tian thought about it for a while, felt that it made sense, and agreed.
Chen Ying hung up the phone and sighed.
Xingxing, this is all the help mom can give you. I hope you can get it sooner.

Friday came in a flash.
During the past two years of college life, An Xing would go home most of the time on weekends. Firstly, it was convenient for Uncle Li to pick him up and the school also had a school bus. Secondly, the dormitory was definitely not as comfortable as home. Moreover, he loved to do handicrafts and had all the materials at home.
An Zhaoming and Shen Ying had no problem with this, and they didn't think their kids were clingy. Now that Ning Rong had come back, they hoped that both kids would come back on weekends.
But this Friday, things were different.
An Zhaoming and Shen Ying were angry at first when they heard what Sun Cheng said, but gradually they became worried. As Shen Ying said, An Xing was thoughtful and a little silly. What if she was provoked by Sun Cheng and didn't want to go home?
The two were very anxious, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. They could only pretend to be casual in the afternoon and ask in the group of loving family members:
"When will Xingxing be home? Do you need Lao Li to pick you up?"
"No need, I'm going out to play with my roommates, and we'll take a taxi back after we're done!"
The An family still had great faith in the character of Zhou Bin and Chen Fang, so when they heard An Xing say that he was going to play with these two people, they agreed without hesitation.
Then they waited until eight o'clock in the evening. Ning Rong had already returned from S University, but his baby still hadn't arrived.
"Did he really say he would come back?"
Ning Rong couldn't sit still anymore and asked his parents who were sitting on the sofa.
As the person involved, Ning Rong knew how disgusting Sun Cheng's words were that day. He thought the little fool had been coaxed into submission, but now...
"Last time he came to me, he said that since we two have recognized each other, we should go back to our own homes..."
An Zhaoming couldn't hold it anymore and called An Xing.
"… Xingxing didn't answer."
The family looked at each other and felt that something was not good.
This little idiot's previous behavior was not just to paralyze them, but he was actually planning to run away from home!
