CH 135

Cheng Yang and Gu Qing went downstairs laughing and talking. As soon as they looked up, they saw Cheng Yi sitting at the table with a dark face.

Cheng Yang was startled by his big brother's face and quickly asked, "What's wrong with you, big brother? Did you have a fight with Yan Yan?"

Could it be that Yan Yan went back to the An family home because he had a fight with his big brother?

Cheng Yi looked at Cheng Yang and said, "No, sit down and eat first."

His face was so ugly because he had just seen the posts by those sunspots on the virtual internet.

Although they did not succeed in their goal and the trend of the posts went in the opposite direction of what they expected, Cheng Yi was still angry after seeing the content.

He had already asked someone to investigate the matter, but the anger in his heart was still hard to dispel for a while.

His big brother’s face still looked a bit ugly and Cheng Yang did not dare to ask more questions. He contacted An Yan secretly after the meal: [Yan Yan, did you not want to have dinner at my house because you had a conflict with big brother?]

An Yan, who received the message, was puzzled: [No, I didn't have a fight with your brother. I wanted to go home to have dinner with my mother. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?]

[Nothing, I’m just asking casually.] Cheng Yang immediately changed the topic after getting an answer, [By the way, I plan to walk around with Gu Qing tomorrow. Do you want to join us?]

An Yan thought for a moment and replied: [I have to train with your big brother tomorrow, so I won’t be able to hang out with you. You two have fun.]

An Yan video called Cheng Yi after chatting with Cheng Yang for awhile.

In the video screen, Cheng Yi was sitting on a small sofa on the balcony of his bedroom. The background was a dark blue starry sky. There was an occasional breeze, and it looked quiet and beautiful.

Cheng Yi spoke softly, "Has Yan Yan finished eating?"

"I've already eaten." An Yan nodded.

Cheng Yi then asked, "Then what did Yan Yan have for dinner?"

"My mother prepared dinner today. I was supposed to do it, but she said I must be very tired from the competition, and didn't allow me to enter the kitchen," An Yan sighed helplessly, "but my mother's cooking is far superior to mine. She made baobao pumpkin, shrimp with garlic, beef brisket with tomatoes, and a hot and sour soup, all of which were delicious."

"That does sound delicious." Cheng Yi enjoyed chatting with An Yan about such simple topics in life. It was as if he could see how time slowly passed by as they gossiped.

An Yan also liked this kind of atmosphere, but he didn't call Cheng Yi just to talk about this.

"Let's not talk about that for now," An Yan interrupted this topic, "I actually have a question for you."

Cheng Yi slightly raised an eyebrow, "What does Yan Yan want to ask?"

"You told me to talk to you no matter what is in my heart, and I think you were right. After all, communication is very important for two people to get along. " An Yan looked at Cheng Yi with a serious expression and slowly said, "but I forgot to ask, what do you think about this matter?" 

Cheng Yi felt guilty at the question, but he said in a solemn manner, " My thoughts are the same as yours, of course."

"Really?" An Yan had a look of disbelief.

Cheng Yi continued to nod, "Of course."

"So you have never hidden anything that was related to me, did you?" An Yan immediately emphasized, in a fierce tone, "And don’t lie to me!"

An Yan, who thought he was fierce but was about to make Cheng Yi melt from his cuteness, looked over with an expectant look on his face. Cheng Yi, who was usually able to tell a lie in a serious manner, felt he was unable to open his mouth.

It was easy to fool the little one with his excellent acting skills, but Cheng Yi felt it was now difficult when he met the little one's clear eyes full of trust and expectation.

He lowered his eyes slightly and whispered, "I'm sorry, Yan Yan."

An Yan's eyebrows immediately rose, "So you really hid something from me before?!"

Cheng Yi, who had never been afraid of anything, inexplicably understood the essence of "coaxing" at this moment. He stole a glance at the little one and put his hands on his knees, consciously putting on an attitude that he was about to confess: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't feel the need to tell you." 

An Yan said fiercely, "Then there is this need now."

Cheng Yi attempted to muddle through, "Don't worry, I won't hide anything from you from now on. No matter what it is."

An Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "Did I say I didn’t care about the things you hid from me before?"

Cheng Yi stopped talking. The little one didn't seem to be easy to fool.

An Yan seriously pursued, "So are you going to confess of your own accord, or do you want me to interrogate you myself?"

Cheng Yi's eyes couldn't help but light up: "What method does Yan Yan want to interrogate me through?"

An Yan instantly saw through his thoughts and said, with a blush on his face, "If you don't tell me, I'll do the same as before. I will not contact you or let you contact me anymore!"

Cheng Yi had to be truthful under such a serious threat. "I choose to confess."

"Then tell me quickly, I have my little book ready." An Yan held up the small notebook in his hand, looking as if he was going to take serious notes.

He was so cute that Cheng Yi wanted to run over and take him into his arms.

But the topic at hand was serious, so Cheng Yi could only regretfully dismiss this idea and start the road to confession: "The first thing I hid from you was when... we first met."

An Yan was so shocked that the little book almost fell to the floor: "You actually started that early?!"

Cheng Yi lowered his head in embarrassment and didn't say anything.

An Yan had to gather his emotions and say, "Go ahead and confess. I won't interrupt you for now."

After a moment's pause, Cheng Yi continued, "Do you remember the first time I visited you? The fruit I brought with me was actually not left over from the previous day. I went to the orchard early in the morning to pick it. "

An Yan's expression changed slightly.

Cheng Yi was so ashamed that he didn't dare look at the little one's expression. He continued, after a moment's pause, "Later that night, I discovered some people who were tailing you. I investigated and learned about An Luo, so I secretly solved those few people, and used some tricks to get the case heard earlier."

An Yan's heart couldn't help but jump. He felt that the case was being tried faster than he expected at the time, but he didn't expect the truth to be like this.

No wonder Cheng Yi called him just after the trial had ended and had prepared a lot of food for him.

Cheng Yi blurted out the next thing after confessing to this matter: "I asked someone to buy the villa you and Auntie are living in now, and we then resold it to you. I was worried that the price would be too high for you to accept, so that's why...."

"The day you turned back into your hamster form, I brought you home on purpose because I wanted my family to be able to accept you in either form as soon as possible."

"I agreed to have dinner with your classmates with a purpose. I wanted to show them how I feel about you."

"There was also the matter of Zhao Xinxin. She was always deliberately picking on you, so I had my mother cut off cooperation with the Zhao family. I later found out some information about the Zhao family and I used it against them, so it has almost collapsed now. "

"When your thesis was leaked out, I had someone investigate the leaker's information and expose those things he had done on the virtual net."

“I schemed to make you engaged to me because you were too dazzling. I was worried that you would be snatched by someone else."

......

"There's also the matter of your father ......," He had explained too many things at once, and a careless Cheng Yi almost explained things that he shouldn't have.

But even if he quickly sobered up and stopped his sentence, An Yan took some energy out of his deep emotions to discover the key words.

"My father?" An Yan asked.

His knowledge of the word "father" was very shallow. It was mostly from the memories of the original owner, but he did not deeply appreciate it.

The most recent time this word was mentioned was when An Mu brought up a related issue. An Yan keenly connected this matter with Cheng Yi's words and said seriously, "You said that you wouldn't hide anything from me from now on!"

Cheng Yi was chagrined at his carelessness just now, but he had to describe the whole story in detail.

An Yan's expression was calm as he listened to Cheng Yi, and he had completely recovered from the touched feelings of the previous confessions: "So, without my knowledge, the original owner's real father found my mother and wanted to get back together with her. But all this was because he wanted to use me to save the company of his current father-in-law."

It seems like that on the surface, but he might have made a second-hand plan. After all, your future is indeed immeasurable. It would have brought him more benefits if you acknowledged him as your father than the Zhu family. " Cheng Yi said.

An Yan couldn't help but laugh with thick sarcasm: "What the hell was that man thinking? He took the initiative to abandon his wife and child, and he had the face to come begging to get back together, hoping that his son would recognize him? Even if the original owner was still alive, I'm afraid... "

The original owner's memory of the existence of "father" suddenly occurred to An Yan halfway through his sentence, and he was a little uncertain.

An Mu didn't tell him about this, probably because of that.

But whatever the original owner thought, it didn't affect his judgement: "You shouldn't have kept it from me. I'd like to scold him face to face."

To abandon his wife and have the audacity to come forward is abhorrent!

But now he obviously didn't have the chance. Li Zongyun was already in prison. He couldn't make a special trip to the prison just to scold the other party, could he?

Although he had such a small regret, An Yan was touched. He never thought that Cheng Yi had done so many things for him behind his back, and never mentioned anything.

An Yan would have wanted to jump over and hug Cheng Yi if it weren’t for the video communication.

He looked up at Cheng Yi with emotion and said, in a solemn tone, "Thank you, for doing so much for me."

Cheng Yi was worried that the little one would be angry, and was relieved to hear that, "It is what I should have done."

"But you can't hide things from me again in the future." An Yan's tone was so soft.

Cheng Yi smiled gently and nodded, "I won't dare to do it again."

Just when Cheng Yi had completely put his heart down, An Yan's face changed and he narrowed his eyes, "Wait, did you finish your confessions?"

Cheng Yi's heart jumped: "Yes, I did."

"Are you sure?" An Yan narrowed his eyes and interrogated, "Are you sure you've finished confessing everything you did until I called you just now?"

An Yan deliberately annunciated the words "until I called you" very heavily, as a hint.

With this hint, Cheng Yi did think of something quickly, but he hesitated a little.

The previous matters could be confessed so easily because they had already passed and those who should be punished had already been punished. So his little one would not be affected so much even if he got to know.

But at present, the matter is still pending even though the investigation has already started and should be resolved soon.

So he was worried that this matter would affect the little one's mood.

An Yan took the initiative and said, "Cheng Yi, I know you are trying to protect me, but I am really not that vulnerable. No matter how things develop, I will face them openly and try to solve them. I can assure you that no matter what you are going to say, I will not let myself be affected in a way that I shouldn't be. "

Cheng Yi could only sigh and say, "You're right, I'm the one who's being too cautious."

In fact, Cheng Yi knew that An Yan was by no means a cowardly person, even though he looked simple and kind. He was able to face that An Luo, even though he had just arrived here and was not familiar with the surroundings. He was able to deal with the situation calmly and he used his wit to resolve the difficult situation.

But as long as the thought that the little one would be aggrieved and upset, Cheng Yi's heart would tighten. Which is why he tried to clear all the obstacles and prevent the little one from being hurt.
