Xuxu frowned. "What are you laughing about?"

Yan Rusheng raised his eyebrow. "It couldn't be anyone else other than Su Yan?"

"Tch." Xuxu glared at him. "It couldn't have been you for sure. You're not that thoughtful."

Young Master Yan absolutely disagreed with her statement. Did he really treat that young lass badly

He bit back, "Ha. Your intelligence is declining."

"You mean, it's Ming Ansheng?" Xuxu suddenly thought of him, her eyes widening.

Yan Rusheng rolled his eyes disdainfully before replying, "Who else would be so cowardly? He only knows how to act behind one's back."

What was obviously a romantic and touching gesture was perceived as an act of cowardice by Yan Rusheng.

Xuxu was speechless. "Who was the one who warned him not to cling to his sister or else he would cut off all ties with him?"

Yan Rusheng smirked coolly. "Anyone other than you are insignificant to me."

Xuxu felt like she had just eaten honey.

The sentence was in actual fact, unbecoming, but it was his way of sweet-talking.

In fact, all of his sweet nothings were considered despicable to anyone else who heard it.

Xuxu didn't know what to say.

She understood what he meant: No amount of threat could stop him from loving her. So, Ming Ansheng didn't try hard enough.

And indeed, if it were Yan Rusheng instead, they probably wouldn't have taken such an arduous and tedious road.

But at the end of the day, he wasn't Yan Rusheng. His family and upbringing were different, and the kind of struggles he was facing was different as well.

From a logical standpoint, she pitied Ming Ansheng.

He was almost thirty, with a son and… a daughter who didn't know of his existence.

"Aish." She exhaled.

"You're taking pity on another man?"

Yan Rusheng warned maliciously.

Xuxu frowned. "How did you know?"

Seeing that Xuxu didn't deny it, Yan Rusheng gritted his teeth. "Wen Xuxu, you're going to the coastal holiday resort with me tonight."

"No." Xuxu rejected without hesitation. She pouted and said, "I've promised to bring Wenxin and Nuoxing to watch a movie."

"Stand them up," Yan Rusheng replied.

Xuxu looked contemptuously at him. "They're your biological children, for goodness' sake."

Stand them up? Even if he didn't bother about keeping his image as a good father, she wanted to be a good mother.

Xuxu ignored him and picked up her phone, opening her WeChat.

She looked at the update Su Yue posted earlier and smiled. "Aish. Letting her set up her online business was the right decision. Now that she has her online business to handle, she's much more cheerful."

Xuxu thought for a while before saying to Yan Rusheng, "Oh yes, have you been in contact with Ming Ansheng recently?"

Yan Rusheng was typing on his keyboard. He replied casually without shifting his eyes away from the screen. "He has migrated to country M."

Xuxu widened her mouth in shock. "What?"

Migrated to Country M? When did that happen?

How did she not know about such a huge matter?

"Ha ha ha…"

Young Master Yan chuckled with an underlying mockery and disdain…
