Mother An roughly glanced at it and saw those insults. Her blood pressure instantly soared. “What’s going on?”

“I heard that your daughter has a good friend in the entertainment industry. She’s standing up for her.” The colleague saw that Mother An’s expression was not right and added fuel to the fire. “Aiyo, you don’t know how many people An Rao scolded. They were all famous painters in the country and the newspaper you read every day. She scolded them really fiercely.”

“I couldn’t tell, Teacher Li. Why isn’t your daughter like you at all?” The other teachers surrounded her.

Father An was a small official with real power locally, and An Lin had worked hard to get into the second largest university in Beijing. The sense of superiority that Mother An usually exuded had already made everyone very unbalanced. Now that they had a chance, everyone gathered and discussed noisily.

In Mother An’s eyes, An Rao’s actions were equivalent to being an embarrassment. Thinking of how angry Father An would be if he knew about this, Mother An felt depressed. She was so furious and wished that she had never given birth to this humiliating An Rao.

The colleagues around her were still discussing, but Mother An could not stand it anymore. She left the office with a straight face and called An Rao. “You damned girl, did we provide for you to go to school so that you could argue and scold others?! Did all your books end up in the dog’s stomach?!”

“Auntie, even if you gave birth to An Rao, you don’t have to scold her like this, right?” Unexpectedly, it was Bo Xiao’s voice on the other end of the line.

“Give the phone to An Rao.” Worried about Bo Xiao’s identity, Mother An suppressed her anger.

“Why should I give it to her? Why should I let you scold her?” It was a rare weekend and An Rao was still sleeping. Bo Xiao did not plan to wake her up. “If you don’t feel sorry for your daughter, I will feel sorry for my wife.”

Mrs. An was stunned by Bo Xiao’s words. “I know you have a high position, but let me tell you. An Rao is my An family’s daughter. If her father and I don’t agree, your marriage won’t work. I won’t let my An family’s daughter be someone else’s plaything.”

Bo Xiao had a lot of scandals. If An Rao married him, my colleagues in school would laugh at me to death. 

“Oh,” Bo Xiao replied. “You really think too highly of yourself. I can’t tell that you treat An Rao as your daughter. I can’t be bothered to agree with you.”

“You!” Mother An usually faced students, and they would not speak to her this disobediently. She was furious. Then, there was a beeping sound on the phone, as Bo Xiao hung up the phone.

Mother An’s blood pressure soared. I would never let An Rao be with such a man!! She is already lawless. If she married such a frivolous man, how would others look at my An family? 

“There’s something wrong.” Bo Xiao threw his phone aside.

He had grown up by himself since he was young. He had thought that others would be happy if they had both parents. Now, it seemed that having a pair of unclear parents was not as good as growing up themselves. He wondered how An Rao had not grown crooked in such a deformed family.

Bo Xiao walked into the bedroom and saw An Rao sleeping soundly with the blanket in her arms.

Seeing her bold sleeping posture, Bo Xiao narrowed his fox-like eyes. He took off his shoes and crawled into the warm blanket. Sensing the source of warmth approaching, An Rao consciously leaned over and groaned. “I’m so hungry.”

“I called for breakfast. It’ll be here in a while.” Bo Xiao put An Rao’s exposed arm in.

“What are you going to do later?” An Rao was in a daze and had not woken up from her sleep.

“Open the gift.”

“Huh? What gift?” Having known An Rao for so long, Bo Xiao had never given her a gift. The moment she heard that there was a gift, An Rao woke up.

“Get up and eat. Won’t you know after eating?” Bo Xiao held An Rao’s hair and twirled it.

“You’re so mysterious.” With anticipation for the gift, An Rao immediately got up from the bed.

After breakfast, Bo Xiao locked An Rao in the bedroom.

“… Even if you didn’t prepare a gift for me, you don’t have to treat me like this, right?” An Rao slammed the door and yelled angrily.

“Stay inside. There are snacks, books, and movie resources in the cabinet. I’ll call for you to come out later.” Bo Xiao closed the door and blocked An Rao’s gaze.

“Hmph, you’re so mysterious.” An Rao did not probe further and lay back on the bed to sleep.
