The three men of the An family are undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention at this moment.
An Zhaoming, who was walking in front, was tall and handsome. He was well-maintained even in his middle age, and he exuded dignity and nobility. The young man standing behind him looked exactly like him, only younger, more handsome, and full of vigor.
The other young man behind An Zhaoming attracted as much attention as his father and brother.
The boy was wearing a well-tailored high-end suit with a carefully designed collar pin at the collar. The small curls on his head were lively and curled up. His face was delicate and beautiful, so white that it seemed to glow under the light. His round almond eyes looked like countless stars falling.
Although he is not a real rich young master, he is born like a noble and carefree little prince.
An Zhaoming and An Rong tilted their heads from time to time to listen to the boy's words and take care of him, which made those who were there to watch the fun understand that even if An Xing was not the biological son of the An family, he was still favored and was really treated as their biological son as they said.
As for those who cannot see the reality clearly, we can only hope that they will not do stupid things.
As for An Xing, the focus of the crowd, he had no idea what everyone else was thinking. His full attention was still on what Lu Tianchen had just said. He followed An Zhaoming and smiled mechanically, somewhat absent-mindedly.
Fortunately, he remembered that this was an important day and he couldn't mess it up. Even though there were many cats howling in his heart, he still kept his round face tight and didn't show any signs.
This made An Rong, who was standing by, feel very complicated.
He followed An Zhaoming and got to know a few more people. Seeing that his father was busy greeting business partners, An Rong quietly stepped back and spoke to An Xing in a low voice.
"You just said... Lu Tianchen confessed to you?"
The little fool, who was distracted, came back to his senses instantly, looked at his brother with sparkling almond eyes, pretending to be shy.
"Oh, it's not really a confession... Brother Chen just said that he likes me very much and wants to marry me."
An Rong: ...
An Rong: "If this doesn't count as a confession...?"
The boy argued: "Brother Chen said that in the corner, or did he say that because I said I wanted to cancel the engagement? What if he actually didn't want to cancel the engagement and that's why he said he liked me?"
"..."
At this moment, An Rong suddenly felt that Lu Tianchen was not easy either. After all, this sweet little pig of his seemed a little clumsy and not easy to be kidnapped.
An Xing felt that he was right, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was reasonable.
In fact, until now, he was still a little dizzy and couldn't believe that Lu Tianchen actually confessed to him. Or maybe... he was just daydreaming and there was no confession at all?
It’s unbelievable that Brother Chen actually likes him. How come he never realized it?
The young boy followed his father and brother, thinking foolishly.
"Xingxing, congratulations."
A familiar voice sounded gently, and An Xing finally came back to his senses. He turned his head and saw Su Yiran walking towards him, smiling at him.
An Zhaoming was still chatting with others, only An Rong and An Xing looked at Su Yiran. From a close distance, the boy was tall and handsome, not as soft as An Xing, but more like An Zhaoming, with a straight and heroic posture and a majestic aura.
Su Yiran gritted his teeth, but still had a soft smile on his face. He raised his glass to An Xing and tilted his head.
"Congratulations on becoming the adopted son of the An family. In this case, you will still be called An Xing in the future, and you will not change your last name, right?" This person insisted on attending the banquet, and An Xing didn't understand why. When he heard this, he finally understood.
You failed to watch the fun, and now you want to stir up trouble.
Since he was recognized as the adopted son of the An family, he didn't change his surname back to "Ning". Are you saying in a roundabout way that he is snobbish?
Oh boy, this is another person who treats him as a soft persimmon!
Oh no, the two unknown people who broke into the school last time seemed to be related to Su Yiran. It was just that there was no evidence last time, so they let this person go.
Thinking of this, An Xing said without hesitation:
"Does it have anything to do with you? Su Yiran, I find that you really care about me. Are you so curious about our family affairs?"
The young man raised his eyebrows and raised his chin proudly.
"I know my last name very well. Do you know your last name?"
The impolite words were like a loud slap in the face, and Su Yiran could feel the eyes of the people around him watching the show. He could no longer maintain the mask of gentleness, and his handsome face instantly turned red. There was also a little resentment in his eyes as he stared at An Xing.
An Rong's face turned cold, and he looked at Su Yiran as if he was looking at garbage.
"No matter what their surnames or names are, the essence of a star will not change. It's just that many people don't understand this principle and their eyes are covered."
The An family had held a family meeting a long time ago, and this time it was An Rong who said that there was no need for An Xing to change his surname back to Ning.
Just like he would not deny acknowledging the Ning couple as his parents just because he changed his surname back to "An", precious feelings cannot be changed by external things.
What's more, An Xing has gone from being the young master of the An family to the adopted son of the An family. If he were to change his surname, he would be too easily looked down upon and bullied by outsiders. There is no need to create trouble.
So An Xing did not change his surname, and An Rong believed in the character of the little fool. And Su Yiran's provocation had no effect at all.
"Maybe he also wants to change his last name to 'An', so he cares about other people's last names."
An Xing was staring at Su Yiran fiercely when he heard this deep voice behind him. Before he could react, a warm and strong body approached him.
Su Yiran's face changed drastically, showing panic. The boy turned around and met the man's deep gaze.
An Rong stood nearby, watching the two men staring at each other as if no one was around and unable to look away, and he took a sip of champagne with an expressionless face.
Ha, he bet that this little idiot wouldn’t last more than a month before being taken away by Lu Tianchen.
*
When An Xing met Lu Tianchen's eyes, he felt as if his heart had settled down. At the same time, he also realized that the confession just now was true and it was not his illusion.
Lu Tianchen proposed engagement to him because he liked him, and he would never get engaged to anyone else, so there was no possibility of arranged marriage.
If someone else said this, An Xing would definitely not believe it. But when Lu Tianchen said this, An Xing felt that there was no need to doubt it.
Just...a man like his brother Shen would not bother to tell lies!
So, his brother Shen really likes him?
The boy shook his head, feeling that the banquet hall was too hot, making him a little breathless. He accidentally made eye contact with the man, and after looking away timidly, he couldn't help but let his eyes wander again.
At this time, no one paid any attention to Su Yiran. An Xing lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the edge of the table, where the man's hand was casually resting.
The man's hands were very nice, with long fingers and distinct joints. They looked very strong, but the knuckles didn't feel thick. The man's hands were like works of art, like the hands of a knight and swordsman that existed in his imagination. These hands had touched his head, pinched his face, and squeezed his claws. An Xing was very familiar with them. But at this moment when he had just confessed his love, just looking at the man's hands, An Xing felt a little unnatural.
So, from now on, will he have the right to hold hands reasonably?
"Rongrong, Xingxing, come here."
Not far away, Shen Ying called out to the two of them. The young man came back to his senses instantly, not daring to look up at the man, blushing as he followed his brother and left quickly.
Lu Tianchen slowly raised his hand and picked up another glass of wine from the table. He held it in front of his eyes and looked at it for a long time, but did not drink it.
After a while, he smiled softly and looked away from his hands.
The forgotten Su Yiran opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the man in front of him didn't even look at him and just left.
An Xing and An Rong came to Shen Ying and found that people from the second branch of the An family had also come. Second Uncle An had already brought An Hao to chat with An Zhaoming, while Tan Xiu was standing in front of Shen Ying.
Chen Ying seemed to have forgotten the previous conflict between the two families. After all, there was no reason for unhappiness among the family members. She smiled and talked to Tan Xiu. When she saw the two children coming over, she held one of them with one hand.
"Come on, call Second Aunt!"
A trace of doubt flashed across An Rong's eyes, but he didn't let her down and called her "Second Aunt". An Xing, who hadn't fully recovered yet, followed suit.
"...Now that my sister-in-law has found her biological son, she seems to be in much better health. It's true that when good things happen, people are in high spirits."
Tan Xiu nodded to the two children and looked at Chen Ying with a dignified smile.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Your nephew is back. Aren't you happy?"
Chen Ying replied with a smile. Tan Xiu paused slightly, the smile on her face seemed to be measured with a ruler.
"Of course I am happy."
She seemed to want to say something else, but was interrupted by Chen Ying. The woman held her son with one hand and the child's shoulder with the other, and said with a smile:
"Although Rongrong suffered a lot because of the wrong baby, fortunately now all the hardship has paid off. Now, I have two children. I have to say that this is a blessing in disguise!"
Tan Xiu tightened her grip on her purse slightly, but her smile remained flawless as she responded with a smile.
"Yes, sister-in-law is still blessed."
Chen Ying smiled happily, her smile was so bright as if she was a young girl who was ignorant of the world and had never experienced any hardships in life.
“I think I’m lucky too!”
"..."
An Xing's thoughts were still immersed in what had just happened. He didn't know what had happened until Chen Ying and Tan Xiu finished chatting.
On the contrary, Chen Ying, seeing Tan Xiu leaving, immediately turned back and reminded the two children to be careful when going out.
"Especially you, Xingxing. When you go out and take the bus... forget it."
After finally regaining his attention, he heard his mother say forget it. The boy opened his eyes blankly, and looked at the other woman with the same almond-shaped eyes, looking dazed.
Chen Ying couldn't help laughing, and the heaviness and vigilance in her heart also disappeared a little. She reached out to rub the cub's head, her eyes fell on the small curly hair that was carefully groomed, and she just touched his shoulder.
"Spend more time with your brother Chen. Tian Chen is a prudent kid."
The boy showed a somewhat awkward expression.
The protagonist of this banquet was An Rong. He stayed with An Xing for a while, showing everyone how much he valued An Xing, and then went to chat and get acquainted with other young masters. An Xing stayed with Shen Ying.
The woman's intuition was very sharp, and she had already sensed something was wrong. Seeing that no one was around, she turned sideways and looked at her little fool.
"What happened between you and Tianchen?"
An Xing was shocked. Although she didn't intend to hide it from her mother, she was still a little shy and uncomfortable when she was asked.
There is also a little inexplicable pride and excitement.
He was reserved for a moment, no more than three seconds, and then he couldn't help but move closer to the woman with a smile on his face.
"Mom, Brother Chen just confessed his love to me!"
His tone was full of pride.
Chen Ying paused, feeling that it was unexpected yet reasonable. At the same time, she felt a little sympathetic towards Lu Tianchen.
Look, it turned out to be a failure. The little idiot who was supposed to be smart has finally come to his senses?
I’m afraid he got it in his dream!
