Mo Jingchen approached step by step until he forced An Yiruo in front of the dressing table, placing his hands on the table to encircle her inside.
“No… nothing’s wrong.” An Yiruo paused as she spoke, her eyes darting away.
"Is it... that my husband's good looks have led me astray?" Mo Jingchen lifted An Yiruo's chin with one hand, teasing her wantonly.
“You heard everything, yet you still ask me,” An Yiruo said softly, turning her face away.
"It's my honor to make my wife blush and her heart race. But... I'm right here in front of you, and I can let my wife do whatever she wants with me."
Mo Jingchen leaned forward, and his enlarged, extremely handsome face instantly appeared in front of An Yiruo.
With sharp features, a high nose bridge, deep eyes, and slightly pursed thin lips, An Yiruo unconsciously swallowed.
"Wife, how about... tonight... you take the initiative?"
"I...I can't."
"I'll teach you."
The feelings between the two erupted in an instant. Mo Jingchen coaxed An Yiruo to take the initiative, but in the end, he couldn't resist her ticklish movements and took the initiative, conquering her territory...
The next day, when An Yiru woke up, Mo Jingchen was propping his head up with one hand and looking at her affectionately: "Wife, last night was wonderful."
"So early in the morning, you're acting all unserious."
Although An Yiruo said that, she snuggled into Mo Jingchen's arms the next second and found a comfortable position.
"Want more?" Mo Jingchen placed one hand on An Yiruo's waist, casually stroking it.
"No. My back hurts. I'll just hold you for a little while," An Yiruo said, snuggling closer to Mo Jingchen with her eyes closed.
"A mischievous little devil."
However, the two were sensible and, having important matters to attend to today, did not linger and got up to wash and prepare for the day.
After everything was packed, we set off for An Yiruo's mother's house.
"An'an's back!" Xu Nian knew her daughter was back when she heard the sound of the lock being opened.
The moment she saw her daughter open the door, with Yu Yu following behind, Xu Nian's smile became even brighter.
"Jingchen, An'an, come in quickly."
The July weather was scorching hot, but the cool air from the air conditioner brought An Yiruo back to her senses instantly.
"It's so hot today," An Yiruo said as she walked in, sat on the sofa, and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with a tissue.
"Have some watermelon. I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't chill it beforehand. But a little will quench your thirst. I've put the other half in the fridge; we can eat it in a bit."
Xu Nian went into the kitchen and cut a plate of watermelon.
"Thank you, Mom," An Yiruo said with a sweet smile as she accepted the watermelon.
"Mom, let's eat together," An Yiruo said, taking a bite of watermelon and looking at her mother.
"You guys eat first, I'm not in a hurry," she said, casually picking up another piece and placing it in front of An Yiruo.
Then she handed another piece to Mo Jingchen, as a mother-in-law, not wanting her son-in-law to feel that she hadn't treated everyone equally.
"Thank you, Mom," Mo Jingchen said, accepting the gift and expressing his gratitude.
"What do you want to eat for lunch? Mom will prepare it," Xu Nian said, looking at the two people in front of her.
"Mom, don't rush. I'm not hungry yet," An Yiruo said, placing the leftover watermelon rind on the coffee table.
"You silly girl, I asked you what you wanted to eat first. If we didn't have it at home, we'd have to go out to buy groceries. You always surprise us with these unexpected meals, and we're never prepared at home," Xu Nian said with a hint of reproach.
"Mom, don't worry, Jingchen will take care of it."
"You know, Jingchen spoils you too much, he spoils you so much that you're lawless!" Xu Nian gently tapped An Yiruo's head.
"But Mom, have you ever thought about finding out about your origins? Or looking for your relatives?"
An Yiruo asked tentatively first.
An Yiruo clearly sensed that her mother's eyes widened slightly after she said those words.
"To be honest, I've thought about it before. But then I got scared. I was afraid that my family didn't like me, and that's why I was abandoned."
"If that's the case, then the whole search for one's origins is a joke," Xu Nian said with a wry smile.
Once, she watched her friends and classmates at school being picked up by their parents after school, but she was the only one standing there all alone, waiting for the teachers from the orphanage to come and get her...
That feeling...it was truly unbearable. She, too, had once longed for her parents' love and the warmth of family...
"What if Mom's family is also trying to find her?" An Yiruo asked again.
"If that's the case, it proves I wasn't abandoned. I'm willing to reunite with them."
But why are you saying all this out of the blue, you silly girl?
It must be said that Xu Nian is quite perceptive, and at the same time, she understands her daughter very well, knowing that her daughter wouldn't say these things to her for no reason.
“It’s just…” An Yiruo hesitated, then turned to look at Mo Jingchen.
Mo Jingchen nodded slightly in her direction, giving her courage.
At the same time, Xu Nian looked at the two of them, a question rising in her mind: "You little girl, just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating?"
"It's nothing, it's just that my mother's family found me and want to reunite with you. They were worried that my mother wouldn't be able to accept it right away, so they didn't come forward immediately, but asked me to sound them out first," An Yiruo said, explaining the whole thing in one breath.
After saying it, she took a deep breath and looked nervously at her mother, wondering how she would react.
"You silly girl, it's not April Fool's Day today, so don't joke with me." Xu Nian paused for a few seconds, then returned to normal.
"Mom, I'm telling the truth! I swear!" An Yiruo immediately raised her hand to swear, to ensure the truth of the matter.
“Okay, then tell me, what are my family members’ names? Where do I live? Tell the truth. No making things up,” Xu Nian said, staring into her daughter’s eyes.
"My mother's original surname was Pei. She was the lost daughter of the Pei family in F City."
Hearing An Yiruo say this, Xu Nian fell into deep thought again.
She had overheard someone mention the Pei family's lost daughter at a banquet when she was still An Zhengrong's wife.
However, what they knew was not clear; they only knew that the daughter was taken away by their enemy while she was still an infant, and there had been no news of her since.
The Pei family also spent a great deal of manpower and resources investigating the loss of their daughter...
But... how could I be a daughter of the Pei family? Could there be some misunderstanding?
"An'an, are you sure what you're saying is true? Could there be some misunderstanding? Or maybe there's a mistake?" Xu Nian questioned again.
"Mom, don't worry, it's true. We've already done a DNA comparison. It confirms the parent-child relationship."
Please forgive us, Mom, for secretly conducting a DNA test. We were worried you would be disappointed if our hopes were dashed.
Mo Jingchen then spoke up to explain.
