When Xiang Siyuan received the call, he had just finished a meeting. He was surprised that his parents called him back home while he was at work. This had never happened before.

He asked Xiang Sizhou what happened, but Xiang Sizhou hesitated and didn't say anything, just said he would know when he came back.

Xiang Siyuan immediately called Zhang Hua to postpone the afternoon meeting, hurriedly took the elevator to the parking lot, and drove home without waiting for the driver Xiao He.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw his parents sitting on the sofa in the living room safe and sound, and Xiang Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief. But seeing them looking at him seriously, Xiang Siyuan was a little confused, and looked at Xiang Sizhou who was sitting next to him. Xiang Sizhou shook his head and also showed an expression of "what's wrong with you".

Before Xiang Siyuan could think about it, his father threw the report in his hand on the coffee table.

"Come and look at this."

Xiang Siyuan was confused. He walked over and picked up the report. Paternity test? Turning to the second page,

“?” Xiang Siyuan encountered the biggest confusion in more than thirty years.

"Dad, where did this material come from? I don't have a child, so how can I get a paternity test that confirms that they are biological father and son?"

"The evidence is right in front of you, yet you're still trying to argue. I've even seen the child!"

Tian Mingfang saw that her son was confused, so she told him what happened yesterday, "I remember the girl's name was Li Yin."

"Li Yin?" Xiang Siyuan was stunned for a moment. Tian Mingfang looked at her son's expression and knew that something had indeed happened between the two of them.

Xiang Siyuan remembered that Li Yin said she had just returned from Milan, and this little boy An An was also from Milan and had just joined the twins' class this semester.

Xiang Siyuan sat down and supported his head with his hands. He felt a headache as he was overloaded with information.

So she was pregnant that time?

Xiang Siyuan recalled many things, including that night and that morning when his sister told him that Li Yin had been preparing for studying abroad for a long time, and that rainy night in the quiet car when Li Yin asked him if he liked children...

Seeing her usually calm son lose his composure, Xiang's mother thought there might be something hidden.

"Do you have anything you want to say?"

Xiang Siyuan regained his composure and briefly recounted what happened five years ago.

"... Lu Xinhan drugged me at the party that night, so what happened later happened."

Xiang Sizhou was thoughtful, "No wonder you and the Lu family had a complete falling out later. This is not your style."

Tian Mingfang looked at this youngest son who never gave anyone any worries. Although he was a younger brother, he had been more stable than his older brother Xiang Sizhou since he was a child. Although he was also a victim this time, the way this matter was handled was really inappropriate.

"A girl who just graduated from college has gone through so many things, but she still sticks to her dream and continues her studies, has her own career, and takes such good care of An An. The hard work involved is not something we can explain in a few words."

"Our family owes her and An'an, and also her parents."

Xiang Siyuan listened quietly to his mother's words, clenched his palms and then unclenched them, feeling even more guilty.

Father Xiang also sighed after hearing what his wife said, "You are right, Li Yin is a good child, and he has raised An An to be so healthy and cheerful. If...if Li Yin doesn't want An An to recognize you and us, we have nothing to say."

Xiang Sizhou reminded, "Mom and Dad, An An said at dinner yesterday that Li Yin would take him to see Si Yuan."

Xiang Siyuan was startled and looked up at his brother, then at his parents for confirmation.

Tian Mingfang nodded.

"Yes, An An said so. Si Yuan, you just said that you had work dealings with Li Yin. Did she say anything to you?"

Xiang Siyuan remembered that Li Yin had asked him if he liked children, and his answer was... neither like nor hate them.

Father Xiang and Xiang Sizhou looked at him speechlessly, but even without them saying anything, one could read what they meant from their eyes - what were they saying?

Xiang Ma knew her son well, so she was not surprised that he would say such a thing.

"What about now? What do you think of Li Yin and An An?"

"Now that I know this, I won't let her worry about this alone. If she is willing to let An An recognize me, I will take good care of her and An An. If she is unwilling, I will not force her. I will keep a proper distance and try my best to help them when they need it."

"So, what do you think of Li Yin?"

Xiang Siyuan was silent for a moment. "Even if she is the child's mother, I cannot tie her to my side. She has no feelings for me. I can't say whether I like her or not. I can only say... I have a good impression of her."

Matters of the heart cannot be forced. Tian Mingfang thought that it would be good enough if Li Yin did not hate her son.

-

This is a local dessert shop in South City. Since it is a weekday, there are not many customers in the shop.

It is now four o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still forty minutes before the kindergarten is dismissed. The store is not far from the kindergarten, so Meng Tian plans to fold more packaging boxes before picking up the twins.

Meng Tian and Xiang Sizhou were high school classmates. After graduating from college, they reconnected by chance. This year marks their sixth year of marriage.

After graduation, she did not force herself to work as an accountant just because she studied accounting. Instead, she plunged into the dessert industry that she loved and started from scratch.

About half a year later, she started by selling her homemade desserts in her circle of friends. As business gradually improved, she rented a small shop as her studio. Now, she has three chain stores.

Meng Tian started her own business from scratch and has a deep understanding of the hardships involved. So she admires her brother-in-law Xiang Siyuan, who also started from scratch and has now become a rising star in the industry.

Over the years, she had come to understand Xiang Siyuan's character, so when she was decorating the cake and heard her husband mention that her brother-in-law had a son, she was so surprised that she almost scratched the almost finished work, and quickly added some decorations to remedy the situation.

She didn't expect that the most calm person would do the most surprising thing.

Meng Tian folded the paper box skillfully, with an earphone in her right ear, chatting with Xiang Sizhou.

"Hubby, when I pick up Xingxing and Yangyang later, I'll also secretly take a look at An'an."

"Don't show too much and scare him."

"You deserve a beating, don't you?"

Meng Tian rolled his eyes at Xiang Sizhou's laughter, and then thought seriously.

"Do you think I should bring some desserts for An An? What should I bring?"

Just as Xiang Sizhou was about to reply, he heard his wife say she was going to take a call and hung up on him. Less than half a minute later, his wife called him again and said mysteriously,

"Guess who called me just now?"

Xiang Sizhou always cooperates with his wife, "Who is it?"

"Your brother, Siyuan. He said he was going to pick up the twins from school today and take them to their parents' house. We'll also go to their parents' house for dinner tonight."

Xiang Sizhou had some surprises. As expected, after having a child, his younger brother became a little different.
