Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 175 Can You Guarantee It?

An Zhaoran was completely panicked.

She had no idea when Liu Changcun had secretly instilled this strange idea in the child behind her back.

Although she always felt that Liu Changcun was someone who could always come up with witty remarks when she talked to him, those were topics that could only be discussed in adult conversations.

I never expected Liu Changcun to say that when he talked to the children in private.

How old is Liu Wanqiu?
I had only lost my baby teeth a few years ago when my father reminded me that I should never date someone with bad character.

In An Zhaoran's view, this was all over.

After all, based on her impression of her father, Anju Nan was an old-fashioned type, even though he was open to new things.

A person with his personality would absolutely not be able to accept Liu Changcun's ideas.

An Zhaoran originally thought that she could change her father's prejudice against Liu Changcun by relying on Liu Wanqiu's obedience.

They started off very well, so why did they fall apart later on?

The deed is done, and An Zhaoran has no way out.

Just as she was about to take a gamble, she announced her current situation with Liu Changcun to her father in front of her child.

The emotions had been built up, but before An Zhaoran could speak, her father suddenly seemed to have become a different person.

His serious expression vanished instantly, replaced by a look of satisfaction. He couldn't help but pat Liu Wanqiu's head.

"Good! Liu Changcun has done a good job raising his daughter!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, An Zhaoran, who was about to explode at her family, immediately froze, as did Guo Yan, who was standing next to her. The mother and daughter both stared at An Junan, who seemed to have lost her mind.

Watching the other person smile and pat Liu Wanqiu's head, then withdraw their hand and put it behind their back.

"Your dad is right. You need to keep your eyes open when it comes to work and dating."

"Yes, I definitely will!"

"This child is really good."

Nodding in approval, An Junan looked at her daughter with a smile.

His expression changed instantly, and he returned to his serious demeanor.

"Is the other one just as sensible?"

"..."

An Zhaoran seemed not to have reacted yet, and after a moment of blank staring, she came back to her senses under her mother's subtle prompting.

She knew who the other person her father was referring to was.

Thinking of Liu Changcun's eldest son, and Liu Songyan, with whom I didn't have much interaction.

An Zhaoran's expression became somewhat unnatural.

Although Liu Songyan is considered a well-behaved and sensible child at home, he seems to have a great reputation at school now that he is in his third year of junior high.

When she reconnected with Liu Changcun, he talked about his eldest son.

I learned about Liu Songyan's reputation at school.

They also learned about some of the opponent's amazing achievements.

Since An Zhaoran moved into Liu Changcun's house, she has spent more time with Liu Wanqiu, since they sleep in the same bed every night.

However, Liu Songyan did not communicate much with her. Even after so long, the two had only exchanged a few brief words.

Liu Songyan has never explicitly expressed that he dislikes her.

However, An Zhaoran had a somewhat similar feeling. Every time she wanted to chat with the child, he would either have to go back to his room to study or ask where his father was.

He had absolutely no intention of communicating with An Zhaoran.

Thinking about her impression of Liu Songyan, An Zhaoran suddenly felt a little less confident in answering her father's question.

She herself was somewhat unsure, unsure whether Liu Songyan could be considered sensible.

But when he thought about how Liu Songyan always obediently listened to Liu Changcun when they were at home, he remembered the scene.

After hesitating for a moment, he silently nodded in agreement.

"Hmm... the other one is also very sensible."

"it is as expected."

Hearing his daughter's response, An Junan nodded, convinced that his judgment was correct.

Liu Wanqiu has already won his approval. If the second child in the family is so well-behaved, then the eldest child must also be an extremely outstanding child.

After today, An Junan felt that he needed to change his opinion of Liu Changcun.

After all, Liu Changcun must have some commendable qualities to have raised such an outstanding child.

Thinking of the popular show "Masked Singer" on the TV station, An Junan looked at his daughter.

He paused for a moment before making the arrangements.

"Give him a call and tell him you'd like to eat at the same place we went to last time."

"Last time..."

"I knew it as soon as you mentioned it."

Without much explanation, An Junan walked over to Liu Wanqiu's side.

The old man and the young girl started chatting, and the harmonious atmosphere left the mother and daughter, who were witnessing it, stunned.

Guo Yan looked at her husband.

This was the first time she had ever met Anju Nan so gentle and kind.

An Zhaoran was the same.

In the past, she would never have imagined that her usually stern father could have such a kind face.

Watching her father talking to Liu Wanqiu, An Zhaoran silently took out her phone.

I called Liu Changcun, who hadn't arrived yet.

----------

A night in mid-October.

The temperature was starting to drop, and An Zhaoran tightened her coat. Liu Wanqiu, who was beside her, was yawning with fatigue after a busy day.

The meal ended, and it was time to say goodbye.

The five of them walked together to the parking lot.

After saying goodbye to her parents, An Zhaoran took the sleepy Liu Wanqiu into the car first.

After helping Liu Wanqiu into the back seat of the vehicle, she went to sit in the driver's seat.

He started the car and rolled down the closed windows. He watched as three figures stopped not far away, passing over his parents one by one, before finally settling on Liu Changcun.

An Zhaoran stared in a daze.

Tonight's dinner party was beyond her expectations.

An Junan had expected his father to be sarcastic and disrespectful towards Liu Changcun after Liu arrived at the private room. However, after Liu Changcun entered the room, An Junan acted completely differently, treating Liu Changcun with less harshness than before.

He even seemed unusually happy today.

The reason why such a scene appeared is probably all thanks to Liu Wanqiu.

Perhaps it was because her parents, who were older and unmarried and eager to have a grandchild, were particularly kind to the child.

It's easy to see from the parents' attitudes toward their child that An Junan and Guo Yan are quite satisfied.

Looking at the three people in front of her, An Zhaoran couldn't hear what they were talking about.

Judging from their body language at this moment, the atmosphere seems to be quite good.

In fact, just as An Zhaoran had predicted.

The couple stopped in front of the car, facing the location where Liu Changcun was.

An Junan remained silent for a long time, as if he were getting to know Liu Changcun again. This silence lasted for a long time until he looked at his wife and calmly spoke.

"You go back to the car first."

An Junan's words reached his wife Guo Yan's ears. She wanted to say something, but seeing her husband's serious expression, she wisely kept quiet.

He nodded silently, then returned to his seat in the car.

Only An Junan and Liu Changcun were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

A gust of wind blew by, causing An Junan, who felt a chill, to tighten her collar. She then looked at Liu Changcun in front of her and saw that he did not seem to feel the chill at all.

He spoke as if in a sigh.

"I'm getting old. If I were younger... I wouldn't feel cold even if I was wearing short sleeves."

"The temperature has dropped sharply recently."

"I know."

The two exchanged meaningless pleasantries.

After a moment, An Junan finally focused his attention on Liu Changcun again.

She stared at the man she had once been particularly fond of for a long time before finally speaking again.

“Your daughter is very sensible, we both like her very much.”

"When I came, Zhaoran told me that Wanqiu is a simple-minded child, and some things need to be explained to her more clearly for her to remember them."

“I know that, the child is innocent.”

After a pause, An Junan continued.

"Do you still have contact with your ex-wife?"

According to An Junan, once a marriage involves children, even if it ends in divorce, it is impossible to completely sever ties.

Now, her daughter's heart has been given to Liu Changcun.

As a father, Anju Nan did not want to see his child in sadness and pain.

No matter how serious he usually appears, An Zhaoran is, after all, his daughter, his only bloodline in this world.

An Zhaoran was raised by his father from a young age. Watching their child grow up little by little, as parents, they only hoped that their child could live a happy and fulfilling life.

But now, An Zhaoran... instead of choosing from a large number of outstanding and promising young people, has taken a liking to Liu Changcun in front of her.

An Junan was unclear about what it was about Liu Changcun that attracted his daughter.

He couldn't understand why his daughter would choose him over anyone else.

“If you are still in contact with that ex-wife because of the child… I will never entrust Ranran to you under any circumstances.”

Liu Changcun remained calm despite An Junan's additional words.

He seemed to be thinking about it seriously, and it took him a while to reply.

"Although it sounds fake, I really have no contact with my ex-wife now."

"..."

With a furrowed brow, just as Liu Changcun had said, An Junan did not quite believe such an explanation.

Instead of responding, she continued to look at Liu Changcun in front of her, waiting for his answer.

"Sometimes life is like this: you give your all in your marriage, but your partner takes it all for granted and doesn't see your contributions at all."

After a pause, Liu Changcun continued.

"My ex-wife's name is Lin Wanran. She went to the same high school as me and was also Zhaoran's high school classmate."

"The reason for our divorce is actually not complicated at all."

"Even if they seem harmonious at the beginning, two people with incompatible personalities will never be able to stay together for long, no matter how hard they try to make it work."

“When she brought up divorce again, I didn’t object. Instead, I made a harsh condition, which was to make her leave with nothing and give up custody of the two children.”

“A normal mother would probably try to fight for it, but my ex-wife only wanted to get a divorce as soon as possible, and she even agreed to such an outrageous request.”

"uncle."

Liu Changcun remained calm and composed as he looked at An Junan in front of him.

"You're a parent too. Do you think there's any hope for someone who doesn't even care about their own child?"

"Just to get a divorce as soon as possible, I agreed to even these conditions without any hesitation."

"After the divorce... she only came to see the children once, bringing only a carton of milk..."

"I used to be obsessed with the past, but now I am more clear-headed than anyone else."

Looking at An Junan, who remained silent, Liu Changcun spoke solemnly.

“Someone like my ex-wife… I will never have any contact with her again in this lifetime after the divorce. I can guarantee that to you 100%.”

Hearing what Liu Changcun said, An Junan surprisingly did not refute it.

Their gaze, which had been directed at Liu Changcun, shifted to the location of the other party's vehicle.

When she saw An Zhaoran in the driver's seat, she watched as her daughter rolled down the car window and secretly noticed what was happening.

Seeing this scene made Anju Nan seem to understand something.

He let out a sigh, and in that instant, he seemed to understand something.

After thinking for a long time, he looked at Liu Changcun in front of him again.

"Liu Changcun, can you really guarantee that?"
