r An patted her hand and comforted with a smile:"Don't worry, Mom knows what she's doing. Besides, these years your father and I have saved you a rather substantial dowry."An Xiaotu's eyes welled up w...Chapter 716: Don't Get Your Hopes Up

Xiao Ya Bai and An Xiaotu exchanged a few playful barbs before sincerely offering each other well wishes, then continued on to film the next scene.

She used to treat An Xiaotuo's home as her own and considered An Xiaotuo's parents her own. After entering the entertainment industry, she would also give a portion of her earnings to An Xiaotuo's parents. Now that An Xiaotuo told her these things, she felt genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart.

Anyway, they are a family. Yisheng is An Xiaotu's brother, so he is also her brother.

After chatting with Xiao Yabai, An Xiaotu put away her phone and said to Tang Yucheng, "Yucheng, why don't you help Yabai investigate her background"

Tang Yucheng knew what she was thinking, wondering if Ya Bai's background would be like Yi Sheng's, perhaps with living parents and relatives.

Although he felt this was unlikely, he still agreed, "Sure. But I have to warn you, don't get your hopes up too high; according to R country's laws, children in orphanages are usually registered with the police. Either they were abandoned by their parents or both parents died, and relatives are unwilling to raise them."

He paused, then analyzed further, "Yi Sheng's experience is completely different from Ya Bai's. Yi Sheng also said that from the time he could remember, he had been cultivated as a doctor by an organization. After the organization was destroyed, he regained his freedom. Yi Sheng wasn't in an orphanage, and the police didn't have him registered, so your parents didn't know Ya Bai was still alive."

"As for Ya Bai, she grew up in an orphanage. The police have her information in their system. If her parents were still alive and wanted to find her, it wouldn't be difficult."

"I understand." An Xiaotu felt a little disappointed after hearing his analysis, but she still said, "Anyway, please check it out for me. If there are no results and we can't find Ya Bai's relatives, I won't tell Ya Bai about this."

Back at the Tang family, Mo Caijing pulled An Xiaotu over and asked her about the process of her parents and Yi Sheng getting to know each other. An Xiaotu patiently explained everything to her mother-in-law.

Speaking of which, her mother-in-law and her mother have a pretty good relationship. The two of them, with their combined age exceeding a hundred years, often get together to chat about fashion, gossip, and other things. They're practically old friends.

Mo Caijing, after she finished speaking, quietly asked, "Little Rabbit, I heard your mother say that Yisheng is gay, right"

"Uh…" The topic jumped too quickly, and An Xiaotu didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Your mother told me all about it, and even asked if I knew any young people in the gay community, saying she was trying to find a partner for Yixing." Mo Caijing gave an expression that said 'I know everything'. "I actually heard about someone this week, he's pretty outstanding. I'll tell your mother about him when you chat with her tonight."

After knowing that Yisheng was gay, An's mother had a crash course on homosexuality and recently became obsessed with BL dramas, anime, and memes, even dragging her into it.

An Xiaotu was frightened and quickly refused, "Mom, no need. I had dinner at my mother's house last night, and she said to ask Yucheng to find someone in the army, as they are more reliable."

Before, she asked Yu Cheng if Yi Sheng was gay. As a result, her younger uncle laughed at her, saying that Yi Sheng just didn't want his mother to introduce him to a partner, so he said that; who would have thought that even if Yi Sheng was gay, his mother was still so eager, and now she even involved her mother-in-law...

“You haven't even told me who you are, how do you know Mom's search isn't reliable” Mo Caijing feigned a stern expression, reaching out to pinch her ears.

"Mom, just speak, don't twist the little rabbit's ears." Tang Yucheng, the overprotective husband sitting on the other sofa, immediately frowned and said.

Because of his special physique, his mother dared not twist his ears. As a result, his younger brother was often pulled by the ear by his mother, crying out in pain.

He was afraid that his mother would also treat the little rabbit without mercy.

"That little rabbit dared to question my judgment I just twisted her ears, what's wrong with that I just did." Mo Caijing snorted, raising her chin slightly in a provocative manner.

"... Tang Yucheng pursed his thin lips and said nothing more."

"I didn't even use any force, look at you getting so nervous..." Mo Caijing looked at her son's defeated appearance, feeling great, then pulled An Xiaotu aside and whispered.

She didn't even dare to use any force. Her son was so tense, it was like someone had touched his Achilles' heel! Phew!

Tang Yucheng looked at his mother with some resentment as she occupied his wife, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only sit silently and watch.

……

For tonight's dinner party.

An Xiaotu took a special bath and dressed up carefully.

"Yu Cheng, do you think my parents would tell grandpa about my brother's situation and ask him to come for a meal" An Xiaotu asked while sitting in front of her dressing table.

Knowing her brother and them were separated for so many years because of An Haozhi, and that her grandfather had even sheltered An Haozhi back then, she had some resentment in her heart.

She didn't want her grandfather to appear at tonight's dinner, for fear that it would remind her parents of those painful past events.

"It shouldn't." Tang Yucheng replied with certainty.

Now that Yisheng has returned, his in-laws are thinking about the past again and still hold a grudge. On such an important night, they definitely don't want to dampen the mood.

"I first heard about what happened that year from my parents. I was particularly angry with my grandfather's actions back then, and even though I'm not angry anymore, I still feel a bit uncomfortable." An Xiaotu said in a relatively calm tone.

Tang YuCheng, standing behind her, bent down and gently tilted her face up, kissing her lips.

"Feeling better" he asked with a warm smile.

An Xiaotu's ears were slightly red, she looked at the smear of her lipstick on his thin lips. Instead of feeling shy, she found him even more alluring and bewitching.

"It's comfortable, that's for sure, but you smeared all my lipstick! Now I'm mad!" She held back a smile and pretended to be angry.

Then another kiss and you won't be angry anymore.

"No… Uh"

Before An Xiaotu could finish her refusal, her lips were sealed by a domineering man. In a dizzying swirl, the man was now seated in her chair, while she found herself perched on his lap.

This time, his kiss was even more fierce and passionate than before, not giving her a chance to escape.

Just when An Xiaotu thought he was about to lose control, he quickly let go of her, lightly bit her shoulder, and tightly hugged her in his arms, adjusting his disordered breathing.

"Yu Cheng..." An Xiaotu called out softly, poking him on the arm with her finger.

"Hmm What's wrong" he replied in a deep, velvety voice.

An Xiaotu's cheeks flushed even redder, she raised her hands to hook around his neck and whispered, "Tonight...let me treat you to some meat, okay"

This man has been suppressing his desire for a while now. Every night, he holds her as he falls asleep, and she can clearly feel his reactions, but he pretends nothing is happening.

She wasn't so fragile that she couldn't handle anything, as long as he wasn't so ferocious, she could bear it.rom Tang Yucheng.Before he could speak, Tang Yucheng's icy question rang in his ear, "Is Xiaotu with you"Yi Sheng's eyelids jumped, he steadied his mind before calmly replying, "Second Master, I'm in...
