Qi Le’an didn’t explain anything to An Cheng, but looked at him gently. An Cheng opened and shut his mouth, unspeaking. Then he ran away.

Qi Le’an was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help laughing. Wei Changfeng sighed, “After all, he is still a child.”

The family had lunch together at noon. In the afternoon, Qi Le’an and Wei Changfeng carried the two children onto the plane. This was the first time Little Orange had gone somewhere with everyone. She looked a little nervous, but she was very obedient in Wei Changfeng’s arms and didn’t even glance left and right.

When they got off the plane, Chen Shan came to pick them up. They had seen each other a few times, so An Cheng was very familiar with him. He asked in the car, “Where’s the little sister?”

Little Orange looked at An Cheng and Chen Shan answered, “She is at home. Why? Do you want to chase her?”

Qi Le’an was speechless.

An Cheng blushed once again.

Little Orange perhaps had the sense of crisis, so she also said, “I… I’m here.”

An Cheng hurriedly turned his head to comfort his sister and said seriously, “There is a little sister as old as you. Her name is just ‘Sister’.”

There was a hint of confusion in Little Orange’s eyes.

They quickly arrived home and Chen Shan’s sister was the first to come out to welcome them. Little Orange was very surprised when she saw the little sister, but Chen Shan’s sister didn’t shrink from meeting strangers. She grabbed Little Orange’s hand and wanted to take her to play the princess doll.

It was the first time Chen Mama had seen Little Orange and she felt that the little girl was so pitiful. She was extremely afraid that her daughter would be imprudent and make the little girl cry, so she watch her daughter warily beside them.

She prepared two red envelopes with a large sum of money for both children, but An Cheng didn’t want it and put his hands behind his back. When Little Orange saw her brother refused it, she also rejected the red envelope.

This really impressed Chen Mama. She praised the two children for their thoughtful behavior and said to Qi Le’an, “How could a child reject the red envelope on the Spring Festival? Please let the two little guys take them.”

Qi Le’an smiled and said, “It’s Grandma who gives them to you, so you can accept them.”

When Chen Mama heard the word “Grandma”, she was overjoyed and said, “Yeah, just take them. When you come back, you can use them to buy snacks for yourselves!”

An Cheng took the red envelope, but he surprisingly said, “Let Papa save it for us.”

The people in the living room were shocked by it and Qi Le’an was even astonished. He did not expect that An Cheng would say such words.

But he soon found that the child’s courage seemed to have drained away because of the sentence. Qi Le’an felt that he should do something, so he answered, “Well, in the future, Papa will save all the lucky money for you.”

Qi Le’an, who was called Papa for the first time, felt a little awkward, but Wei Changfeng looked at him encouragingly. Chen Mama was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. She held the hand of An Cheng, hugged him and chuckled, “My grandson, you’re the eldest grandson of our family!”

An Cheng blushed but didn’t reject Chen Mama’s embrace.

Chen Shan’s sister was playing alone by the side. She seemed to think of something and she suddenly looked up and shouted, “Brother An Cheng! Come and play with me!”

Chen Mama raised her eyebrows and teased her daughter, “You can’t call him brother.”

Chen Shan’s sister looked at her mother in confusion and asked, “Why?”

“Because they are your cousins and you have to take care of them.”

Chen Shan’s sister looked at An Cheng and Little Orange, then she was stunned.

Her adorkable expression made everyone laugh again. With a poker face, An Cheng said, “I’ll take care of her and Little Orange.”

Chen Mama touched his head and praised, “You’re really a good boy.”

They made up a family reunion dinner at the Chen family at night. The three children sat together and chirped, which made Chen Mama overjoyed. She thought of something and started to complain to her son, “You kept changing girlfriends when you were young, but why didn’t you take any of them home for a long time after you grew up?”

As Chen Shan was deveining and peeling shrimps. He said unabashedly, “Because I just have known that I can’t take a woman home casually after I grew up.”

Chen Mama sighed helplessly and asked Qi Le’an, “Le’an, do you know any beautiful girl in your school? Half-caste babies are very cute. If our family have a half-caste baby, then it will be great!”

Chen Shan’s sister just took the shrimp that Chen Shan had peeled and asked, “What is a half-caste baby? Am I a half-caste baby?”

Chen Mama said, “No, you’re not… If you ask your brother to find a foreign sister-in-law for you, our family will have a half-caste baby.”

Chen Shan peeled the shrimps for Little Ornage and An Cheng before he asked sourly, “Why do you say it to my sister?”

Chen Shan’s sister also chirped, “But I already have two cousins. I don’t want a half-caste baby!”

Chen Shan had never thought his sister to be so cute before, so he echoed, “Yes! We don’t want it!”

Chen Mama was so angry that she just wanted to beat her son.

Qi Le’an, who knew the truth, didn’t know whether he should laugh or not. Chen Mama looked at Wei Changfeng and said, “Changfeng, if you have some good female friends, you can introduce them to our Little Shan.”

Chen Shan couldn’t bear it and said, “Alright, since you want it so much, I will take a daughter-in-law home for you next year!”

Qi Le’an glanced at Chen Shan in surprise while Chen Mama was overjoyed, “You said it yourself! I won’t allow you to enter the house if you can’t achieve it, understand?”

Chen Shan snorted.

After Chen Shan’s sister was full, she wanted to leave the table to play. The other two children were about the same. Seeing that, Chen Shan put down the chopsticks and took the children out to set off firecrackers. As soon as he left, Chen Mama mysteriously said to Qi Le’an, “Your brother probably has a girlfriend! Judging from his appearance, I think it’s true! But I don’t know why he didn’t take her home.”

Qi Le’an could only pretend to be innocent.

After dinner, Chen Mama asked them to have a chat and watched as the children play in the distance.

“It’s a good thing that you can adopt them,” Chen Mama sighed. “If you need any help, just tell me.”

Qi Le’an nodded and said with a smile, “It’s basically fine. Wei Sama just got the nationality. When we go abroad to apply for marriage after the work, we can take the legal procedure to adopt An Cheng. Sister Wei also has basically gone through the formalities for adopting Little Orange.”

When Chen Mama heard this, she sighed with emotion that it was good.

In the evening, Qi Le’an and Wei Changfeng led the two children back to their home. Qi Le’an took care of a little girl alone for the first time and was a little nervous. He looked at Little Orange and hardly knew what to do. At this time, An Cheng showed his brother’s style. He helped his sister take a shower, change her clothes and put on a diaper, which gave a good demonstration to the two new fathers.

Lying on the bed at night, Qi Le’an still sighed, “I always feel that there is nothing that An Cheng is unable to do.”

Wei Changfeng nodded in agreement, “He does know much more than ordinary children do.”

The two of them discussed the issue of children’s education on the bed. After the Spring Festival, An Cheng would be nine years old. Children of the same age were already in their third year at primary school. But for various reasons, An Cheng hadn’t gone to primary school.

Although it was said that An Cheng would be sent to school in September, he couldn’t waste the time in the next six months. Qi Le’an wondered if there was any adaptation class that he could send An Cheng to.

However, Wei Changfeng made another suggestion and said, “An Cheng’s literacy is no worse than that of the children of the same age. He also knows about simple addition and subtraction in maths. As for English, he is not good at it, but language is not a big problem. We might as well invite a personal tutor to teach him, or teach him at home by ourselves. Then we will send him to school in September.”

Qi Le’an thought that he and Wei Sama would be very busy for the next six months. If he suddenly sent An Cheng to school, he didn’t know how long it would take to accompany the boy. If they couldn’t take care of the child everyday, they wouldn’t be able to do their duties of parents at all.

It was not as good as letting An Cheng stay with them as Wei Changfeng said. Besides, since An Cheng grew up in an orphanage, he could adapt well to the crowd. They didn’t have to worry that An Cheng would cut himself off from the society if he didn’t go to school for half a year.

“As for Little Orange,” Wei Changfeng said hesitantly when he mentioned her, “She’s too shy. I’m afraid she can’t adapt to kindergarten life.”

Qi Le’an also agreed with it. Little Orange didn’t like to talk and was born crippled, so if she went to kindergarten, it would be hard to avoid being bullied.

“I think it will be beneficial for her to stay with Chen Shan’s sister,” Wei Changfeng said with a smile.

Qi Le’an’s eyes lit up when he heard it. Chen Shan’s sister was just a children’s leader. Although she was a little childish, she was particularly protective in terms of her friends. It was said that no one dared to bully her in kindergarten and she would even wave her fists in front of the boys who were older than her. She didn’t bow down to anyone at all.

“Leave it at that. Anyway, she is not in a hurry to go to kindergarten,” Wei Changfeng said gently to Qi Le’an.

Qi Le’an nodded and got into Wei Changfeng’s arms. He sighed, “I didn’t expect that one day I would also be worried about children going to school.”

Wei Changfeng hugged Qi Le’an and smiled, “Who would have thought about it?”

The two of them took care of the children and played at home for two days. On the third day of the first lunar month, the Chen family was about to go on vacation to a hot spring villa in the suburbs. Chen Mama specifically asked them to bring the two children with them. The studio for the post-production of the movie “Abduction of Children” was supposed to be on holiday until the 15th day of the first lunar month. Qi Le’an had nothing to do during the Spring Festival, so everyone packed up and took the children to the hot spring villa.

The hot spring villa was an upscale resort. Each family could rent a cottage with a pool according to the size of the cottage, and the villa also provided babysitting and pet feeding, which were definitely first-class services.

Chen Shan rent the biggest cottage expansively, where there were three separate pools in the courtyard.

The winter days were cold, but the hot spring was warm. The children were dressed in swimsuits and playing in the pool, while the adults sat on the side and relaxed, which was a happy scene in a moment of intimacy.

They stayed in the hot spring villa for five days before everyone returned to the city. Having played with Chen Shan’s sister for a few days, Little Orange obviously had a brighter personality. Qi Le’an looked very gratified when he saw her change.

After returning home, Qi Le’an was still holding Little Orange and asked whether she was willing to go to kindergarten with Chen Shan’s sister. Little Orange nodded timidly.

Qi Le’an was smiling when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Tresse.

He answered the phone with Little Orange in his arms. Tresse greeted him at the other end of the phone, “Happy Spring Festival, Ann!”

Qi Le’an was surprised that Tresse also knew about the Spring Festival. Tresse smiled and said, “I call you to give you a Spring Festival’s present! “Lala Land” will be shortlisted in the award. When are you coming back?”

Qi Le’an’s eyes lit up immediately.
