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

"Old Cheng! What are you doing!"

"Are you crazy?! You want to do a paternity test?!"

Han Yun's surprised voice came from the room.

The hand that was about to knock on the door suddenly froze in mid-air.

Cheng Wanwan stood at the door, her heart suddenly tightening.

"I was discussing with you the fact that Anning is Cao Han's daughter, and suddenly you had someone do a paternity test for you and Wanwan?"

Han Yun was furious and raised her voice, "You suspect Wanwan isn't your daughter? You suspect I'm having an affair? Cheng Shao, you heartless bastard! I married you at such a young age, and you don't trust me!"

She started crying as she spoke, sobbing and shouting, and punching Cheng Shao repeatedly.

"How could I not trust you!" Cheng Shao grabbed her fist as she swung it at him. "I'm just being safe; there are some things I need to figure out. I won't feel at ease until I do."

"What do you want to understand? Huh?" Han Yun cried, "Could it be that Wanwan isn't our daughter, and Anning is—"

She had barely finished speaking when she suddenly fell silent, staring wide-eyed at Cheng Shao.

Meeting Cheng Shao's gaze, Han Yun suddenly understood why he wanted to do a paternity test.

Her mouth dropped open in horror. "You, you, you mean, you mean, Cao Han—"

She couldn't bring herself to say what came next, nor could she believe it.

But the moment she finished speaking, her face turned pale.

"How could that be!" she quickly denied. "Old Cheng, aren't you overthinking it?"

Cheng Shao asked her, "Do you remember when Wanwan first got involved with Anning?"

Han Yun thought for a moment, "Six years ago, we spent money to buy Anning's blood in order to save Wanwan."

She remembered this incident very clearly. Six years ago, Lu Xiyan refused to get engaged to Wanwan in front of everyone, which made Wanwan so heartbroken that she did something foolish and cut herself, bleeding a lot.

Like her, Wanwan has Rh-negative blood. At the time, the incident happened suddenly, and the hospital did not have enough blood, so they had to issue a notice that they would pay a lot of money to buy blood.

All she knew was that a girl had received a lot of blood transfusions and was given 100,000 yuan.

It wasn't until a girl secretly registered her marriage with Lu Xiyan that she learned the girl's name was An Ning, the same girl who had sold her blood.

"Blood....."

Han Yun was shocked; An Ning also had Rh-negative blood!

"Impossible!" She shook her head in disbelief. "Impossible! Cao Han wouldn't have the guts to do something like that! Besides, she had just given birth and was very weak at the time. How could she possibly risk doing something like that!"

"Calm down, don't get so agitated," Cheng Shao reassured her. "Maybe I'm just overthinking it, it might just be a coincidence."

Having been in business for many years, he knew that there was no room for speculation in the business world. Once some things started to show signs, they had to be thoroughly investigated and eradicated.

He's a businessman and a father. Whether the truth is what he thinks or not, we'll find out by investigating.

But he preferred to believe it was a coincidence rather than believe that his biological daughter was living away from home.

"Until the matter is clarified, you cannot mention this to Wanwan, Cao Han, or anyone else," Cheng Shao instructed, looking at Han Yun's pale face. "Do you hear me? If we've made a mistake, Wanwan will resent us."

Han Yun nodded hurriedly, "Investigate, it's good to find out the truth... I won't say anything, I absolutely won't say anything... I hope it's all fake, it must all be fake..."

Outside the door, Cheng Wanwan's figure had already frozen. She covered her mouth in shock, holding back from making a sound, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Her parents actually doubted her background and actually thought that Anning was their daughter!

Why!

Why is it that everyone and everything seems to be leaning towards peace and tranquility?

Why does she get everything?

She was so lowly, she was as insignificant as an ant on the street in a crowd!

Why should I?!

Cheng Wanwan burst into tears, unable to hide the hatred in her eyes.

She lowered her hand, which was about to knock on the door, clenched her fist, and quietly went downstairs.

......

The moon rose again outside the window, its bright light filtering through the thin gauze curtains and casting a clear black and white shadow on the bedside.

Anning sat on the edge of the bed with her knees drawn up, turning her head to stare at the moon hanging in the sky.

During the day, Grandpa Lu's voice kept echoing in her ears.

"Miss An, is what you owe him just a mere five million?"

"He has already given enough. If you feel guilty, you shouldn't continue to drag him down from his high position into the mire. This is not where he belongs."

"Miss An, poverty is your life, not his."

"If you're willing to let him go and stay far away from him, then I might believe you have genuine feelings for him. Otherwise, your actions are selfish and a joke! I will never allow someone like you to be with my grandson!"

Anning stared at the sliver of moonlight shining in, and slowly stretched out her hand, her slender fingertips trembling gently in the moonlight.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes calm yet moist.

Lu Xiyan, how I long to hold you.

The phone on the nearby cabinet suddenly lit up and started beeping.

An Ning glanced at the incoming call—A.

Her fingertips trembled as she picked up the phone and answered it.

"Are you asleep?"

The pleasant voice came through the receiver and entered her heart, causing a slight tremor.

"No." She gently curved the corners of her mouth.

"Why didn't you answer my calls during the day?" he asked gently.

An Ning lowered her eyes, staring at the moonlight on the ground. "I was a bit busy. I went to the company to handle some work, so I got back quite late."

"Is the handover complete?"

"Okay, the handover is complete."

"Do you want to rest for a few days, or join Ou Teng right away?" Lu Xiyan asked gently. "I'll let you know in advance."

An Ning felt a pang of pain in her heart. He had secretly submitted his resignation to the old man and was still worried about her job.

"No rush, rest for a few more days."

"Okay." Lu Xiyan's voice carried a hint of pleasure. "Now that we've finished talking about work, it's time to talk about me."

"Haven't seen you all day, did you miss me?" His voice was captivating, gliding over An Ning's ears.

"Yes," Anning said. "I really want to."

"Then get down." His voice tinged with laughter. "Now, I want to hold you."

An Ning suddenly paused, glancing at the time.

It's 11:30 at night, and he's downstairs at her house!

After hanging up the phone, Anning hurriedly went downstairs.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw an all-black Aston Martin parked there, looking as proud and majestic as a black swan.

A tall, slender figure leaned against the car. In the moonlight, he was dressed in a black casual outfit, with short, choppy black hair hanging lightly over his delicate brow bone. His sculpted features appeared even more profound in the moonlight, exuding both handsomeness and a touch of beauty.

An Ning took a few steps forward and saw the moonlight reflected in his deep eyes. A beautiful smile curved his lips. The closer she got to him, the deeper his smile became.

Like a summer breeze or a winter sun.

When he was a few steps away from him, he opened his arms and said, "Hug me."

An Ning couldn't help but smile and threw herself into his arms without hesitation.
