After returning home with the child, her ex-husband knelt down and gently coaxed her.

"Did your mother ever tell you what your father's name is?"

What is Dad's name?

Xiao Anxian tilted her head and thought seriously.

His mother never told him that.

However, Mom often calls out one name.

Lu Xiyan...

Is Dad's name Lu Xiyan?

"Don't you know?"

Lu Xiyan's brows furrowed even deeper. "Did she ever say what kind of person your father was?"

Even he himself didn't realize that his question contained a lot of inexplicable expectation.

I hope the child can say something about his characteristics.

Xiao Anxian nodded and answered seriously, "Mom said that my dad is a very good person, very handsome, very cool, and especially good to my mom."

"That's all?"

Lu Xiyan was somewhat unwilling to accept that he hadn't heard any specific traits.

Xiao Anxian nodded, then suddenly remembered something.

If this handsome uncle even knows Uncle Xu, then could he possibly know who Lu Xiyan is?

"Uncle," he put down his fork, preparing to ask him.

But they were interrupted by a phone call.

Lu Xiyan picked up his phone, glanced at the screen, and answered the call with a cold look in his eyes.

"grandfather."

"Where are you?" Lu Lixiao's voice was calm on the other end of the phone.

Lu Xiyan glanced at the child opposite him, and instead of answering, asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Come back."

Lu Lixiao's tone left no room for refusal.

Lu Xiyan's expression was cold and stern. "Now?"

"Immediately, right now."

The other party hung up the phone as soon as they finished speaking, as if something serious had happened, and sounded quite angry.

Xiao Anxian only heard a few brief words and knew that the handsome uncle was in a hurry. She very sensibly said, "Uncle, thank you for the cake. You can go ahead and do your work."

"Kid." Lu Xiyan put away his phone. "Do you even know what a secret is?"

The little guy nodded, looking serious. "I know, things that can't be told to others are secrets."

"Very good." Lu Xiyan reached out and patted his head. "The question I asked you today is only known to the two of us. Can you keep this secret and not tell anyone else, including your mother?"

The little guy thought for a moment, then nodded emphatically, "Uncle, can you keep this a secret for me? You can't tell my mom that I ate your cake today."

The little guy is quite clever. Lu Xiyan smiled gently, "Deal."

"And also," he pointed to the cakes in the shop window, "you can come anytime you want cake next time, it's free."

"Really?" The little guy's eyes lit up.

Lu Xiyan smiled; he had left him a card here so he could spend it anytime.

"However, you need to do me a favor."

He leaned closer and whispered, "Ask your mother what your father's name is, and remember to tell me next time we meet."

After saying that, he stroked Xiao Anxian's soft hair, stood up and said, "Sit here and eat slowly, there's no rush."

Xiao Anxian looked up as he got up and walked out of the store, then looked at the unfinished cake on the table, feeling a little empty inside.

The handsome uncle has a pleasant and gentle voice, and his smile is also very attractive.

I also bought him the number 93 Marquis mini cake he wanted.

"I wish that handsome uncle was my dad..."

......

The black phantom drove all the way to the Lu family manor.

Nothing happened at either the Ou Teng Group or the Lu Group.

Lu Xiyan had no idea where the old man's anger on the phone came from.

In recent years, Lu Lixiao has rarely spoken to him in such a tone.

The last time it was so imposing was four years ago.

The car stopped downstairs at the main building, and Lu Xiyan got out and walked up the steps toward the lobby.

Lu Lixiao had already taken his seat in the main seat of the hall, exuding a heavy aura. Ji Xiu, standing beside him, was respectful, bowing his head and remaining silent.

The entire large hall felt oppressive, and the servants didn't dare to even breathe loudly.

As soon as Lu Xiyan entered the room, he could tell that the atmosphere inside was unusual.

Apart from Jixiu and the servants, there was only the grandfather and grandson in the entire hall; there was no one else.

"grandfather."

Lu Xiyan stood a few steps away from him, his attitude both respectful and distant.

Lu Lixiao raised his eyes, his gaze sharp, and went straight to the point, "Ou Teng and Hao Wei have cooperated?"

"Yes," Lu Xiyan uttered a single word, saying nothing more.

Lu Lixiao asked coldly, "How did a small company like Haowei even catch your eye?"

Lu Xiyan's voice was calm and composed. "Hao has been able to establish itself in the industry for more than ten years and its sales volume is ahead of many of its peers. Naturally, it has its advantages."

"Advantages?" Lu Lixiao chuckled lightly. "Its advantage is that woman, An Ning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiyan's eyes sharpened, and he looked up at Lu Lixiao.

Lu Lixiao stood up, his face slightly angry. "That woman has returned to Jinghai, and she's already stirred up your heart as soon as she arrived, hasn't she?"

Lu Xiyan's expression was cold. "The company's decisions have nothing to do with her."

"As the CEO of Auten, don't you know what decisions should and shouldn't be made?"

Lu Lixiao's tone was furious, "You dare say your collaboration with Hao Wei wasn't tainted by personal feelings? Do you think I can't see that you still have feelings for that woman!"

"Otherwise, how could your private residence in Pangu Mansion have fallen into her hands? That was a coming-of-age gift from your parents. Would you really be willing to sell it? You're probably worried that she and her child will have nowhere to stay in Jinghai, aren't you?"

"You even used your connections to get the most authoritative doctor to perform surgery on her mother! Do you think I didn't know what you were doing? I was just turning a blind eye to see how far you could go!"

For a moment, an eerie silence filled the air.

Lu Xiyan raised his eyes coldly, his gaze sharp. "You're investigating me?"

He knew how powerful the old man was. When his parents had an accident, the old man managed to keep it a secret for four years without letting a word out. Everyone thought that the second master and second mistress of the Lu Group had gone abroad for vacation.

Even four years ago, when his relationship was so high-profile that everyone knew about it, the old man was able to completely erase Anning's information the moment he was dumped.

From then on, no one, whether outsiders or the media, dared to ask a single question about the Lu family's second young master's personal relationships, and even the terms "ex-wife" or "ex-girlfriend" were forbidden.

But Lu Xiyan didn't expect that his every move was within the old man's sight.

It's like an invisible surveillance system hanging in places he can't see at any time.

"I don't want you to repeat the same mistake. Didn't you learn your lesson four years ago?"

Lu Lixiao's eyes were stern and his words barely concealed his anger, "Don't forget how your father died!"

"And your hand!" He glared at Lu Xiyan's left hand. "You can never drive again with that hand. That's a big enough price to pay!"

"That's no reason for you to monitor my every move!" Lu Xiyan sneered coldly. "Grandpa, do you see me as a grandson or a puppet?"

Meeting Lu Lixiao's stern and scrutinizing gaze, Lu Xiyan smiled coldly, "Four years ago, if it weren't for your support, An Ning wouldn't have been able to leave! She wanted to leave, and you were quick to provide her with a way out!"

"Because I know this woman isn't sincere with you, the farther away she is, the better! If she asks me for money, I'll give it to her, however much, as long as she leaves you! I'm doing all this for you!"

"Her presence in your life is a disgrace!" Lu Lixiao pointed at him, his anger blazing. "What kind of woman couldn't you have? Why did you have to choose An Ning, a woman with no family background, no connections, and who only cares about your interests?"

"I, Lu Xiyan, never consider these things when I love someone!" Lu Xiyan met Lu Lixiao's sharp gaze, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes. "Whether she's worthy or not is up to me!"

"So, are you going to look at this or not?"

Lu Lixiao snatched what Ji Xiu was holding and threw it in front of Lu Xiyan, saying, "What is it about this woman who has no self-respect that you can't forget!"

Lu Xiyan's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the black words on the white paper at his feet—

Paternity test!
