"Okay, Anrou, stop making a scene!"

Seeing that Lu Chuanbai was really angry, Gu Anrou finally stopped.

At this moment, Xu Yan drove here.

When he saw Lu Chuanbai, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. The two men stared at each other, and there seemed to be a dangerous aura in the air.

Xu An'an and Xu Yiyi got out of the back seat of the car and bounced over to Xu Qingqing.

Xu An'an blinked her eyes, her tone full of dependence. "Mommy, we visited several kindergartens today. There are so many kids there. Can I play with them in the future?"

Xu Yiyi straightened his little face and said seriously. "Kindergarten is not just for making friends. We also need to learn a lot of knowledge there. In the future, we should be capable people so that we can protect Mommy from being bullied!"

Xu An'an nodded emphatically. "Brother is right. We should protect Mommy well!"

Then Xu An'an noticed Gu Anrou standing beside Lu Chuanbai.

She pointed at Gu Anrou and complained to Xu Yiyi. "Brother, we met this bad woman when we came to find you. She tried to deceive Mommy with a fake vase. She wanted Mommy to pay tens of millions for a thing worth only a few thousand.

Hearing this, Xu Yiyi frowned like a little adult and looked at Gu Anrou disapprovingly. "If you're short of money, you can earn it by yourself. Why do you want to deceive my mommy?"

Gu Anrou's face turned red with anger upon hearing this, and her body was trembling.

"Don't think you can slander people just because you're kids. What do you mean I tried to deceive your mommy? That vase was bought for tens of millions. You broke it and now you don't want to compensate?"

Xu An'an retorted immediately. "Humph, it's you who are stupid enough to buy a fake."

"You were deceived yourself and now you want to frame my mommy. You're such a fool."

Seeming to realize something was wrong, Xu An'an added. "Uncle Lu is not a fool. Only she is."

Seeing the two kids ganging up on Gu Anrou, the corners of Xu Qingqing's mouth couldn't help curling up.

Lu Chuanbai ignored this and looked at Xu Yan. "Are you Miss Xu's husband?"

Xu Yan replied coldly. "I should be the one asking you this. What's your relationship with Qingqing? Why have I never known that Qingqing has a friend like you?"

As an older brother, his intuition told him that there was an inseparable relationship between Lu Chuanbai and Qingqing.

Afraid that her smart brother would notice something, Xu Qingqing quickly interrupted. "Stop arguing. This is my brother, and this is my business partner. He wants to introduce some business opportunities to me since I just returned to China."

Xu Yan raised his eyebrows. "Introduce business? Are you short of money?"

Xu Qingqing:...

She forced a smile. "I want to set a good example for An'an and Yiyi, telling them that people shouldn't be idle."

Xu Yan scoffed.

Xu Qingqing glared at him, as if saying, Can you give me some face in front of outsiders, bro?

Lu Chuanbai felt relieved. So this was Miss Xu's brother.

They didn't say much and left. On the way back, Lu Chuanbai couldn't stop thinking about Xu Yan.

Suddenly, he felt that this man looked familiar, as if he had met him somewhere.

The two kids got into Xu Qingqing's car.

Xu An'an sat in the front passenger seat and pleaded. "Mommy, I like Uncle Lu so much. Will you be busy with Uncle Lu these days? Can I go with you?"

Xu Qingqing looked ahead and replied. "Don't you still need to visit kindergartens?"

Xu An'an immediately left Xu Yiyi behind. "Let brother go with uncle to visit the kindergartens. Brother always says he will protect his sister, right?"

Xu Yiyi:...

He wanted to fight for the chance, but when Xu An'an gave him a warning look, he immediately wilted.

"Okay, let An'an go with Mommy first. I'll go with uncle."

Hearing this, Xu Qingqing couldn't help laughing. "Why do you two seem to dislike uncle so much? Do you know that there are many beautiful women pursuing uncle? Uncle gave up the chance to date those beautiful women to accompany you two, but you don't even cherish it."

Hearing this, Xu An'an immediately became interested. "Mommy, mommy, what kind of auntie does uncle want to marry? Can we go with him to choose?"

Xu Yiyi chimed in. "When uncle gets married, we'll be a family. As his family, we have the obligation to help uncle choose his wife."

"What do you two kids know? You can't even recognize all the characters, but you still want to help uncle choose his wife."

Xu Yiyi replied proudly. "Mommy, you underestimate me. I know a lot. I can earn so much money at the age of five."

Xu An'an pouted. She hadn't earned any money for Mommy yet.

When they got home, Xu Yan handed the two kids to their grandparents and called Xu Qingqing to a corner.

Xu Qingqing looked miserable.

"Bro, what's up?"

Xu Yan asked in return. "What's up?"

"It's okay that you lied to mom and dad, but I'm your older brother. Do you have to lie to me too? What's the relationship between you and Lu Chuanbai? These two kids look so much like him. Tell me, is he their father?"

Xu Qingqing immediately shook her head. "No."

Xu Yan raised his eyebrows. "Oh?"

"I asked Yiyi when we were visiting the kindergartens today. He ran away from home in a foreign country and the first thing he did when he came to China was to follow Lu Chuanbai. Tell me, if you have no relationship with Lu Chuanbai, why did Yiyi travel all the way here just to stick to him?"

Under Xu Yan's gaze, Xu Qingqing felt helpless. She found it so hard to lie to her brother.

"Yes, he is the father of the two kids." Xu Qingqing confessed helplessly.

Realizing something, Xu Qingqing immediately looked up at Xu Yan. "But bro, Lu Chuanbai doesn't know about this. He doesn't even know he has two kids. This is a really embarrassing and humiliating experience for him. I don't want him to remember it, so I didn't plan to tell him."

Xu Yan frowned. "Let's not talk about whether this is a humiliating experience for Lu Chuanbai. As the father of the two kids, he has the right to know. You shouldn't have kept this from him."

"This is not only unfair to Lu Chuanbai, but also to the two kids. Xu Qingqing, what's going on in your head?"

Xu Qingqing twisted her fingers awkwardly. "Bro, you haven't been in many relationships. There are some things you don't understand."
