Yan Zhen's robes swirled with fireflies, and under the dazzling starry sky, she chuckled softly, "Hmm, that means I'm quite capable. Although this matter was a bit physically tiring, the process was quite enjoyable. You'll like it."
An Xin has been more rational than irrational since childhood, and her knowledge is vast and diverse. She is not simply unfamiliar with matters between men and women, but rather clueless about romance. Yet even a pig could understand the meaning behind his words! How ridiculous that she even asked what he meant!
An Xin's ears twitched with embarrassment, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Yan Zhen, you can be even more shameless!"
Yan Zhen paused, then suddenly pulled her into his arms. His cool lips landed on her forehead, then slid down to her nose and lips. An Xin's hair stood on end, and she covered his mouth with her own, yelling angrily, "What are you doing?!"
Yan Zhen grabbed her hand, kissed her palm, and said, "Of course, be even more shameless!"
An Xin: "...!"
****
Yan Zhen naturally wanted to be even more shameless, but An Xin suppressed her with a swift kick.
If she could, An Xin would love to use her super speed to sweep this scoundrel off to the Western Paradise to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures!
Unexpectedly, her sleeve was accidentally lifted, revealing the hidden weapon on her wrist. Yan Zhen was stunned when she saw it, and the smile in her eyes slowly bloomed like a datura flower. Then she hugged her and said softly, "Don't make a fuss. You must have fallen quite hard just now. I'll take you back to your residence."
An Xin gritted her teeth in hatred: "You're smart to know what's good for you! You bastard!"
Yan Zhen smiled and said, "Before we leave, let's take care of that little thing behind us. He's been spying on us for a long time."
An Xin's face flushed instinctively. She pushed him away and suddenly looked behind her.
Behind a large tree not far away, a small figure suddenly shrank back. An Xin frowned and whispered, "It's that child." She then walked straight over, though she looked a little disheveled.
The child, hiding behind a tree, suddenly shouted, "Don't come any closer!"
An Xin walked straight over, grabbed him from behind the tree, and coldly demanded, "What did you just see?!"
Yan Zhen couldn't help but chuckle, and said lazily, "Of course I'd hug you, kiss you, and tease you, and I almost..."
An Xin suddenly shot her a sharp look, her ear tips turning red again. She knew without even thinking what he was about to say! How could the dignified Right Prime Minister speak without thinking!
Jin'er said cautiously, "As he said..."
An Xin's face was chillingly cold: "Don't follow me anymore, do you hear me!"
Jin'er's eyes reddened: "I have nowhere to go, I'm homeless... Sister, please take me in, I promise I'll be very obedient."
An Xin frowned. She was not a philanthropist, and the manor was not a shelter. If this child wanted her to take him in, he had to have a convincing reason. Otherwise, there was no point in talking!
There is no hatred without a cause! Nor is there love without a cause!
“Reason,” An Xin said calmly, turning around. “Think of a reason to convince me within ten steps, or get out of here.”
Jin'er's eyes reddened again and again as she watched An Xin walk away step by step, her fists clenched tightly. But as An Xin took her last step, she said, "Fate!"
An Xin suddenly stopped.
Jin'er said in a trembling voice, "Jin'er's life... belongs entirely to my sister..."
An Xin turned to look at him and sneered, "You don't even cherish your own life, so what do you expect others to do with it?"
Jin'er's face suddenly turned pale.
An Xin said calmly, "If you don't cherish yourself, how can you expect others to cherish you? You can leave now!"
Jin'er was stunned on the spot.
He was only four and a half years old, and making such a decision was already the most astonishing thing he could imagine at his current age, yet she still dismissed it with disdain...
Actually, actually...
"I just want to eat my fill... I'm so hungry..." Jin'er wiped away her tears, trying hard not to let them fall, and slowly turned around.
An Xin stopped, a hint of relief flashing across her lips, but she immediately turned cold and said, "As for food, my family has plenty. Let's go."
Jin'er's body trembled suddenly. After all, she was only four years old. She immediately asked with tears in her eyes, "Sister, have you agreed to take me in?"
An Xin said expressionlessly, "When did I say that?"
Jin'er immediately said, "It doesn't matter if you don't take me in, as long as I have a full meal first."
An Xin said indifferently, "It's just a meal. How can a man bow down for food given with contempt?" An Xin glanced at him, but ignored Yan Zhen and walked past him by the shoulder.
Yan Zhen smiled and said, "A real man should not bow down for food given with contempt, but a real man should bow down for a beautiful woman."
An Xin glared at Yan Zhen through gritted teeth.
Jin'er blinked and asked, "Does big brother also bow down to sister in every way?"
Yan Zhen, in a rare good mood, smiled and said in an approachable manner, "Your sister is no ordinary person. Even if you break your back, you won't gain anything."
An Xin threw a punch, which Yan Zhen easily blocked, smiling gently as she said, "Fierce as the Golden Guard, difficult to tame."
An Xin's face turned completely black.

Xu Ruolan looked at the little child next to An Xin and said happily, "Come here, child, let me see you."
Jin'er glanced at An Xin cautiously before walking over.
Xu Ruolan had no children in her life, so she was naturally overjoyed to see Jin'er and kept telling Luzhu to fetch water to wash Jin'er.
An Xin glanced at Jin'er, then lazily walked away. She lay down on the bed and fell asleep. The sound of water kept coming from her dream, making her feel like she was having a nightmare. When she woke up, it was already the next morning. Before she could react, she suddenly sat up.
