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

Coincidentally, not long after she became pregnant with Wanwan, Cao Han also became pregnant and was working at her house with a big belly.

When she was about to give birth to Wanwan, Cao Han was also about eight months pregnant. At the time, she joked that the baby could keep Wanwan company, and if it was a girl, they could be sisters and be raised together in the Cheng family.

Later, when Han Yun gave birth, she gave Cao Han, who was in her late pregnancy, a leave of absence so that she could rest assured and prepare for childbirth. She even thoughtfully prepared a delivery room for Cao Han in the same hospital as herself in advance.

Han Yun experienced a difficult labor and severe bleeding on the night of her delivery. She was in a coma for several days after giving birth to Wanwan. When she woke up, she learned that Cao Han had also given birth prematurely.

However, after giving birth, Cao Han was taken away by her family and took a long leave of absence, saying she would return to the Cheng family to work after her postpartum confinement period. Han Yun even transferred 200,000 yuan to her as a red envelope for this.

But when Cao Han returned to the Cheng family later, he didn't bring his daughter with him, saying that he had left her in his hometown to be raised.

After that, Han Yun rarely heard Cao Han mention her daughter. Sometimes when she asked, Cao Han wouldn't say much, and over time, she stopped mentioning it altogether.

Cao Han paused for a second, his hand holding the bird's nest in his hand, then turned and said with a smile, "Her? She's such an ingrate. She's always been closer to her aunt than to me. When she was little, her aunt and uncle moved to another province, and she went with them."

She smiled after she finished speaking, "I transfer money to her every year and send her some clothes or something, just as a token of my love as her mother."

"Oh, I see," Han Yun said. "By the way, Wanwan happens to have a lot of clothes, bags, and jewelry that she doesn't need anymore. You can pack them up and send them to your daughter. She's at an age where she needs these things too."

"She doesn't need these." Cao Han laughed awkwardly. "She's from the countryside and very rough around the edges. It would be a waste for her to use these expensive things on her. You should keep them for yourself."

"It's alright, Aunt Cao," Cheng Wanwan said with a smile. "Those things are all outdated, I don't like them anymore. You can give them to your daughter, maybe she can show them off."

Hearing Cheng Wanwan say this, Cao Han smiled and nodded, "Okay, our young lady is truly beautiful inside and out."

"She's about the same age as Wanwan, twenty-eight this year, right?" Han Yun asked. "Is she married?"

Cao Han paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "They must be married. Girls in the countryside get married early, and their kids are probably all grown up by now."

Upon hearing this, Han Yun frowned slightly. "Sister Cao, you're not even sure if your daughter is married or not? Then your relationship is indeed too distant."

Han Yun couldn't help but think, no wonder Cao Han treats Wanwan so well. Wanwan is about the same age as her daughter, and she's not close to her own daughter. She probably treats Wanwan as her own daughter.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing, because ultimately, Han Yun is Wanwan's biological mother.

"How about this, Sister Cao," she suggested, "ask your daughter if she's married yet. If she isn't, I can introduce her to a good family in Jinghai. That way, she can marry into a family in Jinghai, which will be close to you, and your relationship as mother and daughter might gradually become closer."

She was indeed thinking of Cao Han's best interests. Cao Han had worked for the Cheng family her whole life, and she couldn't let her work cause her to become estranged from her only mother and daughter.

Upon hearing this, Cao Han couldn't find a good excuse to refuse, so he could only reply, "Okay, okay, I'll ask about it another day. Thank you for your concern, Madam."

......

The private jet landed at Jinghai Helipad, and Jiang Yao, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the cabin door open and a tall, long-legged man in a simple black casual outfit get off the plane.

Just as he was about to go to greet him, he saw a woman following behind the man. She wore a white dress and a light-colored outer garment. Her young and delicate appearance was stunning at first glance, and she was a perfect match for the man.

The next second, Jiang Yao's eyes widened in surprise—it was Miss An!

An Ning took her luggage from a random staff member, and Lu Xiyan immediately took it from her and took her hand.

Jiang Yao's eyes widened even more.

"Mr. Lu, Miss An!"

He quickly stepped forward, took the luggage from Lu Xiyan's hands, and glanced at the two holding hands before suppressing a smile and offering his congratulations, "Congratulations, President Lu."

Lu Xiyan glanced at him and deliberately asked, "Congratulations on what?"

Jiang Yao glanced at An Ning and quickly said with a smile, "Congratulations to President Lu and Miss An on your reconciliation. True love prevails in the end."

Lu Xiyan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What do you know?"

"I don't know anything, but I can tell that Mr. Lu's feelings for Miss An are special." Jiang Yao glanced at An Ning again and said with a smile, "Besides Miss An, who else has the ability to make Mr. Lu both angry and concerned?"

Lu Xiyan's expression was not much, but there was a smile in his eyes. He turned to look at An Ning and said, "Get in the car first."

An Ning nodded, then smiled politely at Jiang Yao, "Thank you for your help, Assistant Jiang."

"No trouble at all." Jiang Yao quickly put the luggage into the car. As long as their CEO Lu was in a good mood, it was better than anything else for him not to have to figure out what this ancestor was thinking.

The Maybach slowly drove into the city. It was almost noon. Lu Xiyan turned to Anning and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat first?"

An Ning shook her head and smiled, "I haven't been back for several days. I want to go home and see Xuan Xuan first. I miss him so much."

"That kid is sensible and has a sweet tongue; he's quite likable."

Lu Xiyan held An Ning's hand in his palm, his fingertips naturally stroking the back of her hand. With his eyes lowered, he asked almost unconsciously, "Such a cute child, didn't his father fight you for custody?"

Upon hearing this, An Ning paused slightly, turned her head to look at his handsome profile, and smiled slightly, "west Yan, your birthday is coming soon."

His thirtieth birthday is in two days, on the 6th.

She didn't answer Lu Xiyan's question. "Didn't I say I'd give you a gift when we get back to Jinghai? Your birthday is in a couple of days, how about I give it to you as a birthday present?"

"Okay," Lu Xiyan smiled. "You can send me anything."

He held her hand tightly. "Just don't run away again."

The car stopped, and Jiang Yao tactfully pressed the back panel to remind them, "Mr. Lu, Ms. An, we've arrived at Pangu Mansion."

Jiang Yao got out of the car to take An Ning's luggage. An Ning looked at Lu Xiyan, just wondering how to start the conversation, when he spoke first.

"I won't see you upstairs."

Looking into Lu Xiyan's slightly smiling eyes, An Ning felt a surge of guilt and remorse. "Xiyan, that's not what I meant. I just felt—"

"I understand." Lu Xiyan smiled nonchalantly, raising his hand to ruffle her hair. "Our relationship has progressed a bit too suddenly, it's not appropriate to rush in like this. I'll find a suitable time another day to formally meet with your family."

He gently brushed aside the long hair that fell across her neck with his fingertips. "When the time comes, I'll wait for you to give me a proper status."

Lu Xiyan could always understand her thoughts immediately and solve the problem perfectly.

An Ning raised the corners of her mouth and nodded heavily.

Before getting out of the car, she took something out of her bag and handed it to Lu Xiyan. He glanced at it and asked, "What's this for?"
