"Listen to my advice, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. Pretend as though nothing has happened and continue being Nacht's little lover. Stay popular for a few more years, until you've earned enough money, then gracefully retire from the industry!" Li Ge was like both a father and a mother, meticulously planning out all of An Su's retreat options. The result...

An Su simply replied, "No."

Completely throwing him into disarray. What a mess!

Brother Li sighed. What kind of entertainer did he bring along after all?

"...Alright, little rascal, I can't convince you over the phone. Rest well today, and I'll come to the entrance of your building tomorrow to pick you up. Make sure you're ready to finish shooting the previous advertisements you owe."

"Alright."

An Su felt there was nothing wrong. So far, this agent could be considered one of the few people she could trust.

Considering that there is now an additional adopted son, an extra mouth to feed, it is still necessary to earn money and support the family. After all, An Su's mother often nags, saying that a man must have a sense of responsibility and shoulder the burden of the entire household.

And his only family now is An Xia.

Compared to the place where An Su and her mother used to live, this apartment is considered spacious. It has two bedrooms, a living room, a separate bathroom, and a kitchen. It is just the right size for father and son to live in.

Although the house was small, it was the only property left behind by his mother.

As a four-year-old child, the little one clearly showed signs of being precocious, always looking at An Su with a wary expression in his eyes.

An Su sighed deeply...

The child is still young, possessing the intuitive nature of a small animal. It is impossible to instantly change the attitude of the son towards oneself. Everything must be taken slowly.

From the moment An Su entered the house earlier, she could already smell a strange odor emanating from the child. Not only that, but the child was also dressed in wrinkled old clothes. It's hard to tell how long it's been since they last took a bath. Leaving a four-year-old child all alone at home, just from this aspect alone, both myself over the past five years and that man called Ye Chenming are not decent people! They completely treat the child like a pet, without any sense of responsibility.

An Su went to the bathroom and filled it with warm water. After knocking on An Xia's room door, she entered.

"Xia Xia, wake up."

The child, who was already a light sleeper, instinctively recoiled when he saw An Su. His pair of bright blue eyes stared cautiously at the man in front of him who claimed to be his father, stubbornly refusing to speak.

The phrase "所谓敌不动，我不动！" can be translated to: "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move!"

It's no wonder that children are sensitive. In the past, An Su, in order to catch the attention of another father, would act hot and cold towards him.

If Yan Chenming is in a good mood and treats An Su nicely, An Su wouldn't bother to pay attention to the child once she gets home. But if she's in a good mood, she might occasionally buy some delicious food for the child. Once she suffers from humiliation at Yan Chenming's place, she will inevitably face a beating and scolding when she returns home. Sometimes, in order to make Yan Chenming come over more often, she would deliberately let the child sleep on the cold floor, causing them to catch a cold. When Yan Chenming arrives, she will put on a hypocritical appearance of being worried and concerned...

An Xia is not a fool. Although he is young, after experiencing several successive incidents, he has become clear that he is nothing in his father's eyes. Only when he has some utility value... will his father remember him as his son.

An Su got closer and tried to speak in a hushed tone, "Dad will help you take a bath, and then you can go back to sleep, okay?"

The child remained silent.

An Su reached out and picked up the little one, clearly feeling the child stiffen and the look in their eyes showing a hint of alarm. The child instinctively tried to wrap their hands around An Su's shoulders but then withdrew them, carefully stealing a glance at An Su's expression, afraid of displeasing him.

An Su felt uneasy in her heart. She should have been at an age where she could be carefree and unrestrained, but...

He carefully carried the child into the bathroom, undressed him, and placed him in the bathtub.

The skin of the four-year-old child was tender, perhaps due to always staying indoors and not going out, so it was very fair. After soaking in warm water, the redness became especially prominent, like a cooked shrimp.
