Xu Xingran's heart broke when she saw An An like this.

Even if she were an ordinary child, she would be very uncomfortable.

What's more, An An is Sister Jiaojiao's child.

She was even more heartbroken.

An An was quietly drinking milk and eating fruit.

Xu Xingran placed his hand on her head with a look of pity.

"An An will definitely be a happy girl in the future and will grow up in a happy family."

An An ate fruit and blinked her big eyes at Xu Xingran.

Then she pulled out a pendant from around her neck.

It was a very ordinary pendant with a photo hanging on it. She opened the photo on it.

Xu Xingran saw the yellowed photos inside.

The photo shows three people smiling together.

Xu Xingran, Sister Jiaojiao and Shen Huaichuan.

Xu Xingran's eyes were moist.

She asked An An, "So, you are familiar with me because of this photo, right?"

An An nodded.

This photo is the one she always wears.

Her mother told her that the two people in the photo were the most important people in the world, and if An An met any of them, she could trust them and follow them.

They will love her like a mother.

So An An went with Shen Huaichuan to a turbulent foreign country.

So after she came back, she left with Xu Xingran.

She is a good baby who listens to her mother.

An An was only a little child, but he had experienced a turbulent world, and his spirit had always been extremely tense. Maybe he was too tired at this moment, and his eyelids were already drooping.

Xu Xingran held her in his arms and coaxed her gently.

An An was in Xu Xingran's arms, hugging the soft rabbit, and soon fell asleep.

Gu Xingmian stayed by his side quietly throughout the whole process.

He doesn't know how to take care of a child, and his injuries haven't healed yet, so he can't hold the child.

He can accompany Xu Xingran.

Help out a little on the side.

Seeing that An An had fallen asleep, Xu Xingran carefully carried her into the room, put her on the soft bed, and covered her with a quilt.

She was afraid that An An was afraid of the dark, so she put a night light in the room.

She placed a kiss on An An's forehead.

"Goodnight, baby."

Gu Xingmian was watching from the side.

She is very gentle.

Suitable for every home and every room.

If they have kids in the future...

"Ranran, you will definitely be a good mother in the future."

Xu Xingran was stunned.

There was a flash of brokenness in his eyes.

She thought of her first child...

I feel sad.

"Ranran."

Shen Huaichuan's voice came from the door.

Xu Xingran immediately stepped forward and made a gesture to silence him.

"An An just fell asleep, please keep your voice down."

Shen Huaichuan's expression immediately relaxed, and he said, "It seems that An An likes you very much."

Xu Xingran nodded.

"Brother Huaichuan, have you eaten? I also prepared it for you. You and Qingya haven't eaten yet, right? Let's sit down and eat together."

The two of them did not eat.

After he returned, he tidied himself up and then explained to Zhang Qingya the whole story.

He was lucky that Zhang Qingya forgave him and sympathized with him.

Zhang Qingya is a good girl, he should cherish her.

Gu Xingmian brought up all the prepared meals.

Only then did Shen Huaichuan notice Gu Xingmian.

To be fair, Gu Xingmian has a very good temperament and looks like an elegant gentleman at first glance.

Moreover, it was the middle of the night, a man and a woman were alone in the same room, so their relationship was obvious.

It’s just that Gu Xingmian’s appearance… he didn’t like it very much, he looked like a very annoying person.

But Shen Huaichuan didn't show it.

Xu Xingran introduced Shen Huaichuan: "Brother Huaichuan, this is Gu Xingmian, my boyfriend."

Gu Xingmian was very happy and proud, and his heart was as sweet as honey.

Xu Xingran introduced him as her boyfriend.

He likes this name, it's so sweet.

However, because of his name, Shen Huaichuan, who was about to eat, paused.

"Your last name is Gu?"

Gu Xingmian didn't notice anything unusual about Shen Huaichuan.

He looked at Xu Xingran with a smile, "Yes, my last name is Gu."

Xu Xingran didn't notice anything unusual about Shen Huaichuan. The lights in her house were actually dim, and her mind was not on Shen Huaichuan.

"Xingmian, this is Shen Huaichuan, the brother who has taken care of me since I was a child."

Gu Xingmian smiled and nodded to Shen Huaichuan.

"Hello, I'm Gu Xingmian."

Shen Huaichuan's body stiffened instantly.

Gu...this surname is not a common surname.

In particular, the two look somewhat alike.

Is it a coincidence?

Shen Huaichuan lowered his head and ate without saying a word.

Zhang Qingya sensed that something was wrong with Shen Huaichuan.

She looked at Shen Huaichuan with some suspicion.

I don't understand what he means.

Xu Xingran’s boyfriend, why does he behave like this?

Neither Xu Xingran nor Gu Xingmian noticed anything unusual about Shen Huaichuan. Xu Xingran just thought that he must have stayed in the war-torn country for too long and had nothing to eat, so he had to lower his head and eat bitterly.

Xu Xingran asked Shen Huaichuan: "Brother Huaichuan, what are you going to do about An An?"

Shen Huaichuan looked up and said as a matter of course: "I will take care of her."

Xu Xingran sat down and glanced at Zhang Qingya beside him. She said, "Brother Huaichuan, I want to raise An An."

Xu Xingran is a girl with a soft heart.

After seeing An An, she couldn't let go.

Moreover, Shen Huaichuan already has an illegitimate child due to an accident. If there is another An An and Zhang Qingya, Shen Huaichuan doesn’t have that many things to worry about.

An An is obviously more sensitive. He has another child and a girlfriend, Zhang Qingya. She thinks Shen Huaichuan will be too busy to handle it.

But she is alone now, and even if she is with Gu Xingmian, she will definitely have more time to take care of An An.

She has been on tour for a while.

Most of the subsequent activities were stage performances in City C and the Imperial Capital.

She applied to the dance troupe in the imperial capital and refused to go.

Because she had promised Grandpa He that she would not rashly go to the imperial capital again.

She never goes to any activities in the capital.

She has time and can take good care of An An.

Shen Huaichuan frowned: "You want to take An An with you?"

Xu Xingran nodded.

Shen Huaichuan was silent.

For him, An An is his responsibility.

But it is undeniable that he cannot take care of An An in his current situation.

An An's situation is very sensitive. He is obviously different from other children and needs care and protection.

But An An is a five-year-old child after all, and a little girl.

And he was a grown man.

At least he couldn't give An An a bath.

He couldn't do things like buying clothes for An An or combing her hair.

He also couldn't just take An An back and leave him to Zhang Qingya without caring about anything.

This is unfair to Zhang Qingya.

An An is his responsibility, not Zhang Qingya's.

He couldn't kidnap Zhang Qingya to take care of An An for him just because of his responsibility.

An An doesn't reject Xu Xingran. If Xu Xingran can take An An with her, it would certainly be the best choice.
