"Mom, I'm not angry, I'm really not angry with you. To be honest, seeing Yicheng being so unfamiliar with his parents, I'm also very anxious. No matter what our future holds, if I'm with him now, he can willingly return to Dongyang Country, which is also a good thing. Besides, it's not appropriate for the Emperor and Empress of Dongyang Country to stay in Daning Country for long. An'an understands all this. Don't worry, An'an won't blame you, really won't blame you."
Seeing An An's sensible appearance, Luo Lan held her in his arms distressedly.
"An An, thank you for understanding me."
"Mom, thank you for raising An An. I don't know when An An will be back. Please take care of yourself."
"I will send a few people to stay by your side and look after you. I believe Yicheng will adapt to life in Dongyang Kingdom quickly. Once he has adapted, you can come back whenever you miss home. Then, mother will return to Prince Yu's Mansion to accompany you."
Although An An was very reluctant, she still forced a smile.
"Mom, I know I will miss you. Also, if my biological father comes back, please tell him that I have forgiven him..."
This sentence made Luo Lan feel that An An had grown up in an instant.
She looked at her with satisfaction and nodded heavily.
"An'an, you've really grown up. Your father said that Leng Xi won't be back for about three or four years. By then, you'll have grown into a big girl. You should save this sentence and tell him in person! He will definitely be very happy to hear it."
"Well, and Brother Huaiyu, if you get a chance to see him in the future, please apologize to him for me. I acted on my own and almost made a big mistake."
"Don't worry, mother will tell Huaiyu, and mother will keep him safe."
An An nodded with peace of mind.
"Okay, I understand. Then you go tell Yi Cheng that I...I'm going to visit my mother's grave."
"Okay, let Acai and Ahong accompany you."
An An's decision made Luo Lan feel sad again.
She really grew up. Before leaving, she not only thought of her biological father, but also her deceased biological mother.
It seems that Long Xiaomin did not give birth to this child in vain. At least, this child who has never even seen her is still thinking about her.
After giving instructions to Acai and Ahong, Luo Lan came to Yicheng's room. At this moment, he was sitting on the bed blankly with a dull look in his eyes, as if thinking about something.
"Yicheng, what are you thinking about?"
Luo Lan's voice broke the silence here. Yi Cheng came back to his senses, hurriedly got off the ground, stood up straight and shook his head.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"Yicheng, sit down, my stepmother has something to say to you."
Yi Cheng hesitated for a moment, then sat down. However, before Luo Lan could speak, he spoke first:
"Mom, I know you're here to persuade me to go back to Dongyang with them. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I've already made up my mind. I'm going back with them."
"Yicheng, your stepmother is very happy that you can think this way. This shows that you have grown up."
"Foster mother, thank you for taking care of Yicheng for so many years, but I'm afraid Yicheng will never have the chance to repay your kindness in this lifetime."
"Yicheng, don't say that. Daning State and Dongyang State are only separated by a river. It only takes a month to go back and forth. How can you say such a thing?"
"Foster mother, what I mean is that after returning to Dongyang, I will be a Dongyang citizen. I can't come back to see you often, and I can't fulfill my filial duties to you and foster father. All my promises of filial piety to you two are no longer valid."
Listening to Yi Cheng's words, Luo Lan patted his shoulder.
"Silly boy, you have to come back from time to time. We still miss An An. Do you want to leave An An in Dongyang Kingdom?"
Yi Cheng looked up at her in confusion.
"Mother, what do you mean by this?"
"I just discussed it with An An. She agreed to accompany you to Dongyang Country to live temporarily. Once you adapt to life there, she will come back. If you want, you can also come back with her. Wouldn't it be better to visit more often this way?"
"Really?"
Yi Cheng looked at her excitedly.
"Mom, is this true? Can An An really accompany me to Dongyang Country?"
Luo Lan nodded with a smile on his face.
"Well, stepmother has something to tell you. You and An'an are both thirteen years old this year. In a few years, you will be adults. Your stepfather and I mean that if your relationship can develop further, then you will be more than just our adopted son..."
Her words made Yi Cheng stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted.
He stepped back excitedly, then swung his clothes, knelt on his knees, and shouted:
"Foster mother, thank you and foster father for your help. Don't worry, I treat An An as my sister now. When I marry her in the future, I will definitely treat An An as well as foster father treats you. I will never let her suffer the slightest injustice."
Luo Lan was also moved by Yi Cheng's words.
She stepped forward, helped him up, and looked at him with eyes full of relief.
"Yicheng, I'm very happy that you can say this. I'll leave An'an to you for the time being. Remember, whenever she misses home, you should bring her back. Dongyang is your home, and Daning is also your home. You must come back often to visit this home."
Yi Cheng nodded vigorously.
"Don't worry, mother. As you said, Daning State and Dongyang State are only separated by a river. If An An misses home, I will bring her back at any time and I will take good care of her."
Seeing Yi Cheng happy because An An was going with him, Luo Lan felt reluctant but also very happy.
She really hopes that one day these two children can get married.
