A mature person rarely regrets what he has done in the past. In other words, even if he regrets, he has done it, so he muster up the courage to bear all the consequences.
But for An Xing, there was one thing that he not only regretted, but also could not bear.
——He regretted telling Lu Tianchen in person that he wanted to cancel the engagement.
Now I think back to what I said at the banquet that day, about marriage, about heirs, about "for your own good we'll cancel the engagement"...
The boy covered his round face and refused to admit that he had said all this.
It's really dark history!
He used to not care, thinking that if he wanted to get married, he should just pick someone with a similar family background, similar values, and good character. Because Lu Tianchen proposed and met the requirements, An Xing agreed to get engaged.
Then Lu Tianchen said that he liked him and wanted to get engaged to him, not for the sake of profit, but because he liked him.
When she wasn't attracted to him, An Xing was willing to marry Lu Tianchen. Now she likes him... What? Brother Chen wants to cancel the engagement and be with someone else?
Dream big!
"Hurry up and announce it! Let everyone know that Brother Shen has me! No one is allowed to covet him!"
After An Xing confidently turned right into wrong, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis and grabbed his father for instructions.
An Zhaoming: ...
The silly look on the little fool's face when he said he wanted to cancel the engagement was still vivid in his mind. What a turn of events, it was his turn to be nervous.
An Zhaoming had to be fair here. In the past, there were indeed people who were interested in Tianchen, but they were all rejected by Tianchen himself. And now, it was obviously his little fool who was more coveted!
The old father's eyes are so sharp. His cub is so sweet, soft, obedient and stupid. If there were no wolves waiting in wait, I don't know how much he would attract people.
"Got it, I'll definitely announce it."
An Zhaoming sighed.
"It's just Xingxing, Daddy plans to announce your two marriage for another purpose."
An Xing tilted his head and asked in confusion, "What's the purpose?"
An Zhaoming hesitated for a moment, but after looking at his son's serious expression and then at the child's innocent face, he still told the truth.
"To provoke your uncle and aunt's family and see what else they will do."
An Xing did not expect this answer. He was stunned for a moment before asking:
"What's the meaning?"
The man pondered for a while and asked, "Do you know what your uncle and aunt did?"
“Ah, I think I know.”
An Xing nodded.
"They knew that my brother and I were taken away by mistake, but they concealed the truth. They also wanted to contact my brother in advance and instill bad ideas in him... They also wanted our company."
As for deliberately provoking his mother to get sick...this incident never happened in this life, so he can't bring it up, but he will always remember it.
An Zhaoming patted the boy's head with satisfaction. He didn't expect that the boy was not stupid. He originally thought that this silly boy might not know anything.
"You guessed right, they did do these things. But there is more that you don't know."
"So, Dad hopes to use the announcement of your engagement to see what they are secretly planning."
An Xing understood, it was just a way of provoking the opponent, he understood it.
"It's okay, Dad. Just go ahead and make the arrangements. Just tell me if you need my cooperation!"
Seeing the boy's obligatory look, An Zhaoming was amused no matter how heavy his heart was. He rubbed the boy's head and said:
"Nothing else for now. When you're free in a couple of days, ask Tianchen to come over and we'll discuss it. Provoking them is just a side job. Since you two are announcing your engagement, you should also make it official. You can't be perfunctory about it."
After An Xing went upstairs, An Rong, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.
"You still don't plan to tell Xingxing about our guess?"
An Zhaoming sighed, and his face, which was still handsome in middle age, showed some fatigue.
"I originally wanted to keep it a secret, and even wanted to keep it a secret until the matter was over."
"But things are different now."
Tan Xiu deliberately swapped the two children 20 years ago, and for some psychological reason, he has been keeping an eye on An Rong for the past 20 years, wanting his biological son to live a hard and miserable life.
They deduced these things. Out of protection for An Xing and considering that the child was too soft and easily felt guilty and sad, they didn't want to tell An Xing the truth.
But things are different now. When the Xiao family incident happened, An Zhaoming suddenly realized that Tan Xiu might even kill someone in order to gain money.
How could An Zhaoming not see why the Tan family was cooperating with the illegitimate son of the Xiao family and interfering in it?
What made him even more shocked and angry was that if An Xing hadn't inadvertently reminded Xiao Yi that he had saved his life, he probably wouldn't have realized something was wrong until both of his children were in danger.
In other words, the two children were not safe. As long as the Tan family wanted to pave the way for An Hao, they might take action against his two sons.
In this case, even though An Zhaoming was worried that An Xing would be devastated after learning the truth, he could not hide it any longer and had to make An Xing alert.

An Xing didn't know what his father was struggling with at the moment. He returned to the bedroom and dialed the man's video call, and the other end quickly picked up.
"Star."
An Xing shook his ears and felt that Lu Tianchen's voice was still so nice after not seeing him for a few days.
When the video became clear, he gasped and covered his mouth.
The man had just finished a shower and was wearing only a silk pajamas in his heated home. His open collar revealed his solid chest, with clear and full texture, and a soft glow from the ceiling light.
An Xing made a prompt decision and hung up the video call.
Then he found his tablet under the covers and called again.
When Lu Tianchen answered the video for the second time, he was a little confused.
"The signal just now was bad?"
The man was still in the same outfit, but he was sitting in a chair with a cat on his lap. The cat with flower arms lay lazily on the man's lap, yawned with its mouth wide open, and fiddled with the camera of the phone with its claws.
An Xing was immediately dissatisfied and shouted:
"Huahua, move aside, you're blocking my view!"
Lu Tianchen was stunned, and after careful observation, he realized that the boy's gaze was wandering around his upper body, with a hint of covetousness in his eyes.
Looks like a kitten that is greedy for meat.
An Xing was battling with the flower-armed cat in the air when he heard Lu Tianchen chuckle softly. He looked up blankly and saw the man leaning back in his chair, his pajamas opened even wider.
He tilted his head slightly, his deep eyes met the boy's, and the corners of his lips curled up.
"Even if you change to a tablet, the pixels won't be much higher. If you want to watch high-definition and uncensored content, why don't you come to my house?"
An Xing's face instantly turned pale. Oh my god! Is this something that can be said so casually in a video?
"I don't understand what you are saying..."
The boy mumbled to himself, his almond-shaped eyes still glued to the tablet, but his words were not what he meant.
"Are you really not coming to my house? Anyway, you are on winter vacation and don't have to go to school. An Ning Jewelry has Uncle An and your brother, so you don't need to worry about it."
The man lowered his voice deliberately, trying to seduce the boy opposite him.
An Xing had already listened to the man's words, slowly opened her eyes, and even unconsciously moved closer to the tablet, wanting to listen more carefully.
"You can give them space and let them continue to develop their relationship. Then come and sleep with me."
The last four words rolled off the man's tongue, inexplicably lingering and sad.
An Xing nodded, and suddenly he was stunned. He felt that this sentence was a little familiar. He thought about it carefully. Suddenly he understood.
"No wonder you suggested that I go live with you during the summer vacation, Brother Chen. Did you plan this in advance?"
Listen, this rhetoric is so familiar! What about the company that he doesn't need to worry about, what about letting his brother and parents develop a relationship... Aren't these what Lu Tianchen said when he suggested that he live with him during the summer vacation?
Now it seems that his brother Chen was deliberately seducing him at that time!
The boy showed an expression that said "I see through you" and stared at the man through the screen with his round almond-shaped eyes.
Lu Tianchen leaned back in his chair, stroking the little cat with flowery arms with one hand, and nodded frankly in acknowledgment.
"Yes, I was seducing you at that time. As for why I seduced you... Xingxing, can't you guess it?"
An Xing's face turned even redder. She pulled the quilt to wrap herself up, then hugged the pillow, covering half of her face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, looking at the man innocently.
"I can't think of it, tell me why!"
"…Because I like you. I want to see you every day."
"..."
On the other end of the video, the boy curled himself up in the quilt and rolled around. The camera shook for a while, and then the video call was hung up.
Lu Tianchen smiled and lowered his head to touch the cat's head.
"Do you think he will come and live with me?"
The kitten with flower arms slapped the man mercilessly, jumped off his knees and ran away.
What a scheming human being! Even cats can’t stand it anymore.

He was very quick when hanging up the phone, and An Xing was just as quick when packing his luggage.
He packed a small bag and took some of his daily necessities with him. Even after he finished packing, the heat on his face had not yet dissipated.
What's wrong with Brother Shen lately? It's like an old house on fire.
An Xing rubbed his face and thought seriously.
This kind of Lu Tianchen made him a little uncomfortable. After all, from childhood to adulthood, the Lu Tianchen he saw was always calm, self-controlled and gentle, and rarely showed his aggressive side.
In other words, Lu Tianchen has an aggressive side that will never be on his side.
But ever since they started dating, Lu Tianchen would sometimes show inexplicable strength in front of him, as if he wanted to eat him up.
He must be thinking about something improper.
The boy groaned and thought, despising his brother Chen's contrasting behavior of being calm on the outside but actually being sultry. But when it was time for dinner that day, An Xing still spoke honestly and said that he wanted to live with Lu Tianchen.
"What? You're going to live with him again!"
The old father heard what the son said, and then saw that the son seemed to be indifferent but his face was red, and he was so jealous. He wanted to say something else, but his wife pinched his waist hard.
"When? Tomorrow?"
Chen Ying asked gently.
An Xing nodded and added with a wandering look.
"Actually... you can go there tonight."
An Family: ...
Alas, the cub has grown up and they can no longer control him.
Chen Ying pondered for a moment and looked at her husband. An Zhaoming was stunned at first, but soon understood what his wife meant. He hesitated for a while, but finally sighed and nodded.
An Rong realized what the two were going to do and put down his chopsticks.
Sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, An Xing looked blankly at his parents, then at his brother. He heard his mother say:
"Ask Tianchen to pick you up today. While he's here, mom and dad want to talk to you about something..."
"About the time when you and Rongrong were deliberately taken away by mistake in the hospital."
