Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

She rose without the slightest hesitation, gave them a proper bow, and said with a smile, "Greetings, both Uncle Bais!" Seeing this, Yan Jie hurriedly imitated Qianqian and greeted them as well.

The moment Bai Zi Ang and Bai Zihang stepped through the door, their gazes were captured by Qianqian. They couldn't help but be stunned by this little girl's beauty and liveliness, and for a moment they were somewhat dazed.

Looking further back, when their gazes fell on Yan Jie, both of them froze in unison.

Bai Zi Ang stared wide-eyed and murmured, "The resemblance, it's really too alike..." His voice was very soft, but Bai Zihang still heard it. He glanced at Bai Zi Ang and said with equal surprise, "Eldest Brother, you think so too?"

The two brothers exchanged a look, and both felt an indescribable feeling surge in their hearts. Their gazes turned once more to their old father not far away, and they asked in unison, "Father, what's going on?"

Bai Yu seemed to have anticipated this. He smiled at his two sons and then said slowly, "Don't rush yet. First have someone tidy up these two rooms of mine for the two of them to stay in. Make extra good food for tonight; I'll explain in detail to you later."

Bai Zi Ang immediately replied, "Alright, Father, I'll go arrange it now." As he spoke, he turned and left in quick strides, disappearing at the doorway in no time.

Seeing this, Bai Zihang also hurriedly rose and said, "Father, then I'll go help too." Finished speaking, he followed Bai Zi Ang right out the door.

Not long after, Bai Zi Ang and Bai Zihang returned. The two had actually been unable to contain their curiosity for a long time, so after hastily arranging everything, they rushed back impatiently.

The moment they entered, the two rudely sat themselves on the chairs, then poured themselves cups of water and drank in big gulps.

After finishing the water, they both turned their gazes toward Bai Yu sitting to the side and urged in unison, "Father, speak quickly, we can't wait any longer!"

Bai Yu looked at these two fellows before him, a trace of helplessness and speechlessness appearing on his face. Especially Bai Zihang — his face was practically pressed against Yan Jie's face. As he leaned in, he kept muttering, "So alike! Absolutely is!"

Yan Jie truly couldn't endure this kind of close contact. He shifted back slightly, trying to maintain some distance. However, Bai Zihang seemed not to have noticed Yan Jie's discomfort at all, continuing to do as he pleased.

Seeing this, Bai Yu hurriedly said, "Move your face away, don't scare my obedient grandson!" His voice revealed a hint of displeasure.

Hearing his father's words, Bai Zihang only then sat up straight as if waking from a dream, but his mouth still mumbled in a low voice, "Younger Sister is such a bold person, how could the child she gives birth to possibly be timid?" However, this sentence of his earned him a glare from Bai Yu.

Just then, Bai Zi Ang at the side hastily interjected, "Father, you speak quickly, we're dying of anxiety!" His tone was full of urgency.

Bai Yu saw this, unhurriedly took a sip of water, and only then slowly opened his mouth, recounting everything that had just happened in full detail.

During Bai Yu's narration, Bai Zihang and Bai Zi Ang both listened very attentively, afraid of missing any detail. When they heard that Yan Jie was not An Wang's biological son, both of their hearts simultaneously let out a breath of relief.

By the time Bai Yu finished telling everything, Bai Zihang and Bai Zi Ang could no longer sit still at all.

Bai Zihang spoke first: "Tomorrow I'm going too. You one old and one young, it's really too dangerous. I have to go along so I can be at ease."

However, Bai Zi Ang immediately retorted without hesitation: "You'd better not go. You're always so unreliable in how you do things; it's more suitable for me to go." His tone was firm, as if full of confidence in his own ability.

"Nonsense!" The other party was clearly unconvinced. "How am I unreliable? I'll definitely get along well with those two kids; me going is the most suitable."

The two traded words back and forth, neither yielding, their voices growing louder and louder, looking like they were about to start quarreling.

Just then, Bai Yu slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Enough! Both of you stop arguing!" His voice was like a clap of thunder, making the entire room tremble.

Bai Yu's gaze swept over the two, finally landing on Bai Zi Ang, and he said, "Eldest Brother, you come with me."

His decision made the atmosphere in the room instantly become subtle. A smug smile appeared on Bai Zi Ang's face, while Bai Zihang wore a face of frustration and unwillingness.

However, Bai Zihang did not give up just like that. He quickly adjusted his mood and said to Bai Yu, "Father, you'd better not regret your decision." His words carried a hint of provocation and threat.

Hearing this, Bai Yu's face showed a puzzled expression. He looked at Bai Zihang and asked, "You brat, you dare threaten me? Who gave you the guts?"

Bai Zihang did not answer Bai Yu's question. He turned and ran out of the room, leaving the few people staring at each other in blank dismay.

Bai Zi Ang suddenly came to his senses and said, "Father, bad! Second Brother wouldn't have gone to call his wife, would he?"

Hearing this, Bai Yu's eyes suddenly widened, as if they would pop out. He looked at Qianqian and Yan Wang with a face full of shock and said urgently, "You two sit here for now, I have an urgent matter to go back and handle!" Before his words even fell, he moved like he had oil on the soles of his feet, walking hurriedly toward the door.

However, just at this moment, a sharp female voice suddenly came from the doorway, like a sharp sword piercing through the room's tranquility. "Father, Father, what do you mean by this?"

This voice was high-pitched and piercing, as if it could penetrate eardrums, making one involuntarily shudder.

Before everyone could react, that voice had already swept in like a whirlwind, charging straight into the room. Immediately after, a woman pushed the door open and entered like a gale.

Qianqian and Yan Wang both turned their gazes toward this woman in unison.

She was dressed in a brilliant red dress, like a cluster of burning flame, exceptionally dazzling in this somewhat dull room.

Her hair was simply tied into a ponytail, clean and agile, without the slightest drag or fuss.

The moment the woman entered, she rudely shouted at Bai Zi Ang, "Father, why are you letting Eldest Brother go, but not letting my Zihang go? Father, are you playing favorites? If you don't let my Zihang go, the two of us will just sneak off ourselves! We'll set out right now, guaranteed to arrive before you!"

Her speech was fast as lightning, like a string of firecrackers, giving people absolutely no chance to interject. Just as she was prattling on incessantly, suddenly a small head popped out from behind her.

This small head belonged to Bai Zihang. He grinned and shook his head at Bai Yu, that smug look as if showing off something to Bai Yu.
