at her, after a long while:He decided to put off investigating the reason behind her sudden desire to return home, and said, “Come on, I’ll take you out for dinner.”"Mhm, just wait for me, I'll chang...Chapter 456 Dad Seems Unhappy Tonight

Faced with her mother's relentless questioning, An Xiaotu knew she couldn't brush it off like she did with Tang Yucheng. There was no way out of this conversation.

However, she wouldn't tell her mother the truth about why she had disappeared all those years.

After a moment of contemplation, she said half-truthfully, "Mom, I was seriously injured back then and saved by Yixing. He's the doctor who treated my arm burns and vocal cord damage four years ago. These past few years, I've been focusing on recuperating."

“Even if you’re seriously injured, at least give Mom and Dad a message. Do you know how painful it is for them to think you’re dead” An’s mother wasn’t so easily fooled. She cried out in anger and heartache, “I think you, Little Rabbit An, are deliberately trying to torment your parents to death, aren’t you”

Thinking about those things from back then, An's mother still has lingering fear. If she could choose, she would rather give her own life to exchange for her daughter.

"Sorry, Mom..." An Xiaotu sobbed as she apologized with great distress.

"Since you know you're sorry, Mom, then explain to me why you disappeared for all these years." An mother desperately wanted to know the reason her daughter had been missing for four years.

"Mom, would it be okay if An Nian and I brought him back to see you and Dad this weekend" An Xiaotu had to change the subject.

When An's mother saw that her daughter was insistent on not saying anything, she pondered for a moment. She thought about waiting until she and her husband went to City C and then press her daughter for answers about her disappearance four years ago. She didn't believe her daughter would dare to keep it a secret.

After superficially agreeing with her daughter's words, An mother chatted with her daughter for several hours until An Xiaotu's phone ran out of battery. Then, An mother reluctantly ended the video call.

Following this, An Mu immediately went out to find her husband and told him that their daughter was still alive. She then booked a flight to City C right away.

……

Xiao An returned home from kindergarten, but he didn't meet the old butler.

Therefore, when he pushed open the door and walked into the room, the moment he saw the person sleeping on his bed, he was completely stunned.

Thinking he was hallucinating from missing his mommy too much, the little guy rubbed his eyes hard. To his relief, his mommy didn't disappear; she was still lying in bed with him.

Xia An's eyes were still full of disbelief, wondering if he was dreaming, that he would dream of his mommy lying on his bed.

Then he pinched himself hard, his grip too strong, and it hurt so much that he almost gritted his teeth.

The next second, Xiao An ran out of the room quickly, took a look around the whole house, and only after confirming that he was at his own home did he run back to the room.

He crept carefully to the bedside and then climbed onto the bed gently. He reached out his small hand to touch An Xiaotu's cheek. It was very warm, and his mommy's cheeks were so smooth, soft, and nice to touch.

An Xiaotu video-called her mother. She cried for a long time because of her heartache and immense guilt towards her parents. After the video call ended, she felt quite tired and fell asleep in a daze.

But she didn't sleep soundly. In her half-dream state, she felt someone touching her face. It took her a while to slowly open her sleepy eyes.

Xia Annian saw that he had woken up his mother, and was instantly stunned, feeling a bit nervous and at a loss.

He really wanted to ask Mommy how they were going home. He really wanted to ask Mommy if they would live here from now on, and not go back to Doctor Uncle's place

"Baby, you're back from school" An Xiaotu hugged the little one in her arms and raised a lazy and pleasant smile.

Xia An nodded excitedly, then struggled out of her arms and picked up the tablet on the bed to type: "Mommy, are you going to live with us from now on and not go to Doctor Uncle's place anymore"

"Well, your Uncle Yisheng said Mommy's body is almost recovered and she can return to Annian Baby's side." An Xiaotu said with a faint smile.

Xia An's eyes lit up, and she was so excited that she didn't know how to type.

He threw the tablet aside, and pounced into An Xiaotu's arms, holding her tightly.

Mommy will live with him and Daddy from now on, so he can see Mommy every day and eat the delicious meals that Mommy cooks.

"Mommy, can I sleep in the same room with you from now on" An Xiaotu asked warmly, a smile on her face.

This is a good opportunity to spend more time with my son and strengthen our bond.

Thinking about being able to sleep with his mommy in the future, Xiao An was incredibly happy and excited. He nodded vigorously in agreement, feeling utterly blissful.

An Xiaotu watched her son smiling so happily, a touch of sadness in her heart.

I didn't expect that simply sharing a room with my son temporarily would make him so happy.

Xiao An spent a while cuddling with his mommy before letting Little Rabbit An get out of bed to wash up.

……

Tang Yucheng returned home from work and happened to see a big and a small hand holding hands walking downstairs. The scene was extraordinarily warm and harmonious, and a strange and indescribable feeling arose in his heart.

An Xiaotu saw them walking toward them, her nerves tightened instantly, she didn't even dare to breathe.

Tang Yucheng was going to take some work documents upstairs to his study and deal with them in the evening.

When he passed by her, he simply nodded his head expressionlessly without a word, as a greeting.

An Xiaotu secretly let out a breath, but he still felt uncomfortable and somewhat distressed about Tang Yucheng's cold attitude.

Little An Nian, filled with joy at An Xiaotu's return home, didn't notice the stiff atmosphere between them. He was too excited, eagerly pulling An Xiaotu downstairs.

At dinner, An Xiaotu interacted more with her son and didn't say much to Tang Yucheng.

Although Xiao An doesn't speak, there's a tablet computer beside him to facilitate communication with An Xiaotu.

Tang Yucheng ate in silence, secretly watching a woman interact happily with her son. He felt a twinge of discomfort in his heart, but he didn't show it.

As for why he felt uncomfortable, he couldn't even give himself a reason.

After about ten minutes, Tang Yucheng, having finished his meal, put down his chopsticks and went upstairs without a word.

An Xiaotuo glanced at the man's departing figure, then lowered her voice and asked her son, "Baby, is your father always like this"

She still thought that man was mute. He didn't say a word when he came back tonight.

Little An shook his head and typed on the tablet, "Daddy was strange tonight, like he wasn't happy. I was very good today, I definitely didn't make Daddy angry."

Mommy is back, he has to be good. He can make Daddy angry, but he absolutely cannot make Mommy angry. It's hurtful.

"Yes, yes, our little An'an is the best. She's the most well-behaved child in the whole world." An Xiaotu gently bumped her forehead against the little one's forehead and praised with a smile.

Too lazy to think about what that man was doing, after all, he had become strange and unpredictable, so foreign that she hardly recognized him.housekeeper in the distance setting up breakfast on the dining table, he strode towards the dining room. 。"Have breakfast." 。"Hally immediately got up from the couch and followed him.When eating break...
