When Xu Anran heard this, she fell silent. “You know what? Actually, I don’t want to go back to the Xu family,” Xu Anran said to Jiang Rongyan.

Jiang Rongyan didn’t say anything. He knew that Xu Anran hadn’t finished speaking, so he just waited for her to continue.

“My mother passed away when she gave birth to me. My father thinks that I’m a jinx, so he hasn’t seen me since I was young. The only time he took the initiative to see me was when he married my stepmother. She even brought her own daughter. He treats her better than he treats me, his biological daughter,” Xu Anran said calmly, “I grew up with my grandfather. If I didn’t have him, I wouldn’t know what kind of life I would have…”

“Stop talking,” Jiang Rongyan said. He knew that Xu Anran’s matter was a wound in her heart. He didn’t want to hear her re-open it in front of him.

“Jiang Rongyan, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that I met you. I don’t even know myself,” Xu Anran said self-deprecatingly.

“Anran.” Jiang Rongyan called Xu Anran’s name in a low voice. Xu Anran was stunned. Jiang Rongyan’s voice was very pleasant, like the sound of a cello that was slowly being played. “Let’s take it slow. Don’t be anxious. I’ll accompany you.”

Jiang Rongyan’s words made Xu Anran’s nose hurt. She did not know what had happened today. She had just met a scumbag who came back to look for her. Why did she become so sentimental?

“Go in and change.” After the car was parked, Jiang Rongyan got out of the car to change. Xu Anran waited in the car. Jiang Rongyan changed into casual clothes. He looked like a male high school student. He was clean and neat, much more sunny than when he wore a suit. After getting into the car, he found that Xu Anran was still staring at him, so he asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“You look good, “Xu Anran said with a smile.

Jiang Rongyan: “…”

Xu Anran looked at Jiang Rongyan, who was slowly approaching her. She felt as if he was going to kiss her, so she hurriedly said, “What are you going to do?!”

“I’ll put on your seatbelt.” Jiang Rongyan glanced at her. Xu Anran turned her head awkwardly. The two of them changed the topic. They chatted and drove to the Xu family home.

At the Xu family home.

“Dad, Auntie, I’m back,” Xu Anran said after she entered the house. However, no one answered. Xu Anran thought that there was no one at home, so she said to Jiang Rongyan, “Come in first.”

“Stop.” A middle-aged man’s voice sounded from the living room. “How dare you come back!” Father Xu said angrily in the living room.

After the two of them entered the living room, Jiang Rongyan saw three people. Father Xu had seen them before. The woman sitting next to them might be Xu Anran’s stepmother, Wang Li. A woman who looked about the same age as Xu Anran was her stepsister, Xu Anning. At this moment, she looked like she was waiting to watch a good show. When she saw Jiang Rongyan looking at her, she suddenly looked shy for some reason.

Jiang Rongyan could not help but frown, but he did not say anything immediately.

“I came back to get the household register.” Xu Anran’s attitude was cold.

“Household register?” Father Xu’s voice became louder. “You said to get married!? Have you considered the relationship between our family and the Qin family?! This is simply nonsense!” Father Xu said angrily.

The scene was silent for a while. Xu Anran did not say anything. Jiang Rongyan looked at Xu Anran’s forbearance and could not hold it in any longer. “Uncle, hello. I am Anran’s husband, Jiang Rongyan.” Jiang Rongyan spoke firmly. It carried an aura that could not be rejected.

This made her stepsister, Xu Anning, who was standing at the side, very moved. She could not help but secretly stretch Wang Li’s sleeve. She used her eyes to tell her mother that she had taken a liking to this person who had already become her ‘brother-in-law’.

Xu Anran quietly held Jiang Rongyan’s arm. “Dad, Rongyan coming home with me today is just a matter of etiquette,” Xu Anran said, “Whether you’re willing to admit it or not, we’ve already held the wedding. As for the Qin family’s reputation, that scumbag, Qin Xiaokun, has to think about it, not your daughter.”

Father Xu never thought that his daughter, whom he had never met before, would dare to talk to him like that. Before Father Xu could speak, Xu Anning, who was standing at the side, could not wait any longer. “Sister, how can you talk to Dad like that!” Her stepsister, Xu Anning, quickly ran to Father Xu’s side to calm him down. She acted like a good daughter of the Xu family.

When she ran over, she accidentally brushed past Jiang Rongyan and stuffed something into his hand. Jiang Rongyan raised his eyebrows but didn’t say anything. Xu Anning thought that Xu Anran didn’t see it, but she didn’t know that Xu Anran saw everything. What surprised her even more was that in the next second, Jiang Rongyan raised his hand and spread it out in front of everyone.

“Anran, your family has a lot of trash.” Jiang Rongyan’s natural and harmless expression almost made Xu Anran laugh. This man’s mouth was really vicious.

“Is that so? So the Xu family has so much trash. All kinds of wildflowers and weeds can come in. I’d better not go home in the future,” Xu Anran said to Jiang Rongyan with a smile, completely ignoring the expressions of the people around her.

“That won’t do. You still have to come back to our family often.” Jiang Rongyan smiled dotingly. Then, he changed the topic. “I wouldn’t have known that the Xu family couldn’t even afford to raise such a cute baby like you. It’s really hard to believe that they would push their own daughter out in such a hurry.” Jiang Rongyan smiled and touched Xu Anran’s head.

Although Xu Anran knew that the two of them were acting, the word ‘baby’ still made Xu Anran’s shoulders soften.
