Chapter 752 You Are My Child
The twelve dishes were served one after another.

Liu Wenying observed Han Anduo discreetly.

Observe which dish she takes the most of and what kind of expression she makes while eating.

Midway through, Song Mingfei asked Jiang Yuan to accompany her to the restroom.

Actually, the intention was to leave Liu Wenying and Han Anduo some space to be alone.

Stepping out of the private room, Jiang Yuan turned to look at Song Mingfei, her voice tinged with amusement, "Mingfei, how are you feeling?"

“It’s pretty good.” Song Mingfei raised her eyebrows slightly. “How should I put it? It’s much more comfortable than I imagined.”

She was nervous before the meeting, worried that she would feel jealous, resentful, and unhappy when she saw her mother and Han Anduo together.

But when she actually faced that scene, she felt very calm and at ease.

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, "That's good."

The two walked along the corridor to the rooftop garden, where sunlight streamed down through the glass roof, dazzling the eyes.

Song Mingfei raised her hand to shield her forehead, pursed her lips, and said softly, "Yuan Yuan, when we get back to Yunjing, please arrange a paternity test for me and Aunt Rui."

**
The private room was completely quiet.

Han Anduo buried her head in her soup, but she could vaguely feel the woman's gaze on her.

Liu Wenying looked at her daughter, who had been forced to leave her at birth, with almost greedy eyes.

She parted her lips slightly and whispered, "Ando, ​​do you like shark fin soup?"

Han Anduo paused in her soup-drinking motion, looked up and met Liu Wenying's gaze. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she said helplessly, "I'm fine."

This was actually the first time she had ever tasted shark fin soup, which is so expensive.

"What else do you like to eat?" Liu Wenying asked gently.

Han Anduo frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't have any particular favorite foods, nor do I dislike any. I can eat anything."

Such a simple sentence brought tears to Liu Wenying's eyes and filled her heart with an indescribable bitterness. "An Duo, you've suffered so much these past twenty-four years."

The lack of likes and dislikes often stems from a lack of choice.

For children who grow up in orphanages, having enough to eat and wear is a luxury.

Liu Wenying looked at her with heartache and choked up, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm too late."

Upon hearing this, Han Anduo put down her spoon and gently shook her head. "Don't say that. Jiang Yuan has already told me about what happened back then. You didn't know, and it wasn't your intention not to contact me."

Hearing her considerate and understanding words, Liu Wenying couldn't hold back her tears and they streamed down her face. "An Duo, I was too careless."

Ever since discovering that Feifei was not her biological daughter, she has been surrounded by endless self-blame and guilt.

She blamed herself for not discovering it sooner.

If she had known the truth sooner, Ando wouldn't have suffered so much outside.

Han Anduo's eyes were clear as she gently comforted her, "Aunt Wenyin, it's not your fault. I've never blamed you."

She had lived in a small orphanage since she could remember, and thought that every child was the same except for the director, Mom.

But later, some children told her that the children in the orphanage were all children who had been abandoned by their parents.

Some children said that it wasn't necessarily because they were abandoned by their parents; it could also be because their parents died in an accident and they had nowhere else to go but to come to an orphanage.

At that time, little Han Anduo couldn't help but wonder why she came to the orphanage.
She thought she had been abandoned by her parents and wondered why they didn't want her.

She also mustered up the courage to ask the director why she was living in the welfare home.

The headmistress didn't tell her the reason, but looked at her with affection and smiled, saying that she would love her in place of her parents.

Unable to find an answer, Han Anduo never asked again.

Anyway, nothing will change. She never blamed anyone, nor did she hate anyone.

Life may be ordinary, but as long as we are safe and sound, that's all that matters.

She can accept all the misfortunes in her life with equanimity, and she can also calmly accept this mother who suddenly appeared.

But it's contradictory, why does she feel so inferior?

"An Duo, thank you." Liu Wenying looked at her with gratitude, her gentle voice tinged with a hint of caution. "I wonder if you would be willing to give me a chance to make it up to you?"

Upon hearing this, Han Anduo said softly, "You haven't wronged me, so you don't need to make it up to me."

"Then... then what should I do to get you to accept me?" Liu Wenying looked at her nervously.

Han Anduo blinked, pursed her lips, and whispered, "Actually, I've already accepted you."

If she doesn't accept, she won't come to the appointment today.

She lowered her eyes and added, "But I don't know if you'll dislike someone as ordinary as me."

“You are anything but ordinary.” Liu Wenying’s tone became more urgent, her eyes burning. “You are my child, the daughter I carried for ten months and gave birth to. Although we missed so many years, my love for you is the same as my love for Feifei.”

Han Anduo did not expect to hear such a reply.

She paused for a few seconds, then said awkwardly, "No need."

She had no intention of competing with Song Mingfei for favor or trying to outdo her.

After all, Song Mingfei had indeed been by Liu Wenying's side for so many years.

"An Duo." Liu Wenying's face showed a solemn expression, her voice sincere and earnest, "I'm so happy that you're willing to accept me. Please give me a chance to make up for the regret of being absent from your life for so many years, okay?"

Han Anduo knew that she liked Liu Wenying.

She couldn't refuse her request.

Moreover, deep in her heart, she also harbored a secret longing—a yearning for maternal love.

Han Anduo met her gaze and slowly nodded.

Liu Wenying's face lit up with joy, and she said excitedly, "Thank you, Ando!"

After a while, Jiang Yuan and Song Mingfei returned to the private room.

The two quickly noticed the subtle changes in the relationship between the mother and daughter who had just been reunited.

It seems that their avoidance for those few tens of minutes had an effect.

Song Mingfei couldn't help but give herself a mental thumbs up.

After lunch, Jiang Yuan suggested going to see a movie.

She felt that after watching a movie with Song Mingfei last time, their relationship had become closer.

It turns out that watching movies isn't just for couples; it's also a great way for friends to strengthen their friendship.

She felt the current situation was appropriate.

Everyone agreed with her suggestion, so they chose a light and relaxing movie.

Ninety minutes passed quietly.

As we left the theater, everyone walked and discussed the plot of the movie, creating a pleasant and harmonious atmosphere.

"Shall we go for afternoon tea next?" Jiang Yuan asked. "Or does everyone have other plans?"

On her first day with Han Anduo, Liu Wenying was unsure of Han Anduo's preferences or what activities to take her to do. Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, her gaze instinctively fell upon Han Anduo.

"Ando, ​​would you like to have afternoon tea, or go shopping? Or... how about we catch a movie?"

"I'm fine with anything." Han Anduo nodded, sensing Liu Wenying's accommodation and caution, and added, "Actually, I'm okay with anything, I can do anything."
