Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 168 Very Unfortunate
Recording ends.

Guo Yan was still immersed in the performance, especially after seeing the wonderful performance contributed by the energetic children, which brought her a long-lost feeling of emotion.

Although Guo Yan initially showed little interest in her husband's invitation to the event, she eventually gave in to his insistence and came to watch, only then realizing that the trip was worthwhile.

The performers, carefully selected by various primary schools, greatly impressed Guo Yan.

In particular, the agile girl in the martial arts performance left a very deep impression on her.

Even after the recording of the show had ended, Guo Yan, still deeply moved, was unable to shake off the emotion she felt.

The other audience members in the VIP seats had already left, facing the wide stage, but Guo Yan gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue.

Until Anju Nan appeared beside him.

As he sat down next to his wife, he noticed her wiping her eyes.

He tactfully pulled out a tissue and handed it to her. Seeing Guo Yan take it without a word and continue wiping herself, he pondered for a few seconds before asking her a question.

"Are you satisfied now?"

After a pause, Anju Nan continued to add.

"If there aren't a hundred or so, there are at least several dozen children on stage. You like children, right? You should have seen enough now."

When her husband asked her this question, Guo Yan, who had been married to him for decades, had no intention of paying any attention to him.

Clutching the tissue he had brought to wipe his eyes clean, he looked at the stage where the children were no longer there.

She, who loves lively atmospheres, felt even more lonely at this moment.

With her husband busy with his career and her daughter rarely seen, Guo Yan felt extremely lonely, staying at home all the time.

This feeling wasn't so strong before, but now, after watching the entire performance carefully presented by the children, the loneliness that had been buried deep in her heart was completely stirred up.

Guo Yan felt regret.

She regrets not having another child when she was younger, so now that she can only place all her hopes on her good-for-nothing daughter.

An Zhaoran, who has been away from home for a long time, has not returned. As her mother, Guo Yan is also unsure of the current progress of her daughter's relationship with Liu Changcun.

Even though her daughter's relationship with Liu Changcun is progressing steadily, considering her daughter's outdated views, she probably won't consider having children unless she gets married.

I'm finally able to hold my grandson.

This is a distant dream for Guo Yan now.

After sitting in her seat for a long time to calm herself down, Guo Yan finally got up to leave.

Meanwhile, An Junan, who had been completely ignored, hurriedly got up and followed closely behind his wife, never leaving her side.

Although the couple occasionally had arguments, having lived together for most of their lives, they were already able to understand each other's feelings without needing to exchange words.

Looking at his wife walking ahead of him, An Junan, as her husband, felt sorry for her.

I followed silently for a while before finally preparing to offer a few words of comfort.

As he left the studio, before he could quicken his pace to catch up with Guo Yan ahead and was about to offer his comfort, he was drawn to a voice coming from the side.

Guo Yan also heard the familiar voice, and the couple both looked to their right.

An Zhaoran gazed at the girl in front of her with a smile.

Slightly bending their knees, the two, who had a height difference, could barely be on the same level.

Look at him, holding a camera and browsing the photos displayed on the screen.

The figures in the photos are all Liu Wanqiu.

Just like the center of attention.

Wearing a practice uniform made of silk, Liu Wanqiu also had slightly exaggerated makeup on her face because she was going to perform on stage. The eyeshadow made her already striking features even more heroic.

Even those unfamiliar with her would subconsciously assume that Liu Wanqiu possesses genuine martial arts skills upon seeing her like this.

Although Liu Wanqiu did not inherit her father Liu Changcun's talent for exams, she was able to master things in a very short time in other areas.

When the school was selecting students, Liu Wanqiu had only signed up with the intention of giving it a try.

Drawing on the numerous fighting comics he had browsed during the summer vacation, he imitated a few moves and immediately captured the attention of all the teachers present.

Before going on stage, she also trained with the other performers for a period of time.

Although it was somewhat like a last-minute effort, the final effect on stage was quite remarkable.

Now, seeing the photos taken by An Zhaoran herself, and looking at myself in those candid shots...

Liu Wanqiu suddenly felt incredibly cool.

Just like a true martial arts master.

“Your dad recorded the whole thing for you, saying he’s going to burn it onto a DVD and take it home.”

Seeing that Liu Wanqiu liked the photos she took, An Zhaoran smiled broadly and continued speaking.

"Auntie never expected you to be so amazing. Not only are you good-looking, but you're also incredibly skilled."

"Hehe~"

Upon receiving such praise, Liu Wanqiu showed a slightly embarrassed and shy expression.

Although her academic performance was quite good when she was at home, she never received any praise. Now, her talent in the field of martial arts has earned her praise.

This made Liu Wanqiu happy at that moment.

Originally, my favorite activity was drawing, but now it seems to be being overtaken by martial arts practitioners.

Because of An Zhaoran's praise, Liu Wanqiu felt a little proud, but out of respect for traditional virtues, she still humbly murmured a couple of times.

"Auntie's photos are great too, they're even better than professional photographers!" "I'm not as good as you say."

"Seriously! Absolutely amazing photography skills!"

Nodding vigorously, the two looked at each other and smiled.

An Zhaoran and Liu Wanqiu now get along extremely well, and they even understand each other perfectly when it comes to praising each other.

The two laughed for a while before An Zhaoran finally reached out and took the camera from Liu Wanqiu.

He gently took the other person's small hand in his.

"To celebrate the great success of your performance, Auntie will grant you one wish."

"Can I wish for anything?"

"of course."

Smiling in response, An Zhaoran, who was leaving with Liu Wanqiu, prepared to change the child out of her performance costume first.

All eyes were focused on Liu Wanqiu, and no one noticed the two figures looking in their direction.

He remained confident and expressed his opinion.

"Although it sounds a bit boastful, as long as it's not an impossible wish like plucking stars from the sky, I can help you achieve it."

"I need to think about it carefully..."

"No rush, we have plenty of time to think it over today."

The more she looked at Liu Wanqiu, the cuter she seemed. If she could, An Zhaoran would really like to hug Liu Wanqiu in front of her.

Having spent so much time together, An Zhaoran had developed a great fondness for Liu Wanqiu and had come to fully appreciate her excellence during their time together.

An Zhaoran didn't particularly like children.

After all, in her original stereotype, children who were not mentally mature were often accompanied only by screaming and noise.

However, Liu Wanqiu successfully reversed her stereotypes.

She was well-behaved and sensible, and occasionally she would utter a few unexpected remarks. In addition, her clever appearance made An Zhaoran like her more.

Since moving into Liu Changcun's home, and having spent time together at the station, An Zhaoran has been chatting with Liu Changcun a lot in her spare time.

They talked about all the little things in their lives, and inevitably they talked about little things that happened to each other in the past that no one else knew about.

It was during this period of communication that An Zhaoran learned about the harm Lin Wanran had caused to the brother and sister.

She already disliked Lin Wanran, and after hearing about some of Lin Wanran's past actions, she began to hate her from the bottom of her heart.

Despite Liu Wanqiu's adorable child, his biological mother, Lin Wanran, showed no concern for him whatsoever, even to the point of indifference.

An Zhaoran couldn't understand this behavior at all.

If Liu Wanqiu, so well-behaved, were their own child, her parents would probably spoil her rotten, afraid that she would suffer even the slightest grievance, let alone neglect her.

Their own mothers always had a special fondness for younger children, so if the two of them were to see Liu Wanqiu in front of them, they would probably want to hold her in their hands.

However... An Zhaoran was a little unsure about her father's attitude.

After all, the usually stern father had some reservations about Liu Changcun, even though the success of the show "Masked Singer" had improved his father's prejudices to some extent.

However, in An Zhaoran's view now, it seems that there is still a long way to go before her father can fully accept Liu Changcun.

Her mother, Guo Yan, knew everything about her moving into Liu Changcun's house.

The father was completely unaware of this.

Although she intended to introduce Liu Wanqiu to her family, considering the stubborn old man in her family, this idea only lingered in An Zhaoran's mind for a moment, and she had no intention of taking any actual action.

Holding hands, An Zhaoran and Liu Wanqiu quickened their pace.

The gaze that had been fixed on the child turned back to the front after the conversation ended.

However, upon closer inspection, An Zhaoran, who was walking normally, suddenly seemed to have lost the ability to walk, freezing in place, her light feet appearing as if they were glued to the ground.

Unable to move.

Liu Wanqiu continued walking, but An Zhaoran's sudden stop made her stop as well.

First, she glanced in surprise at An Zhaoran, who had suddenly stopped moving beside her, and then out of the corner of her eye, she noticed two figures standing directly in front of them.

I looked at Aunt An beside me again.

Liu Wanqiu noticed that the other person's expression was becoming increasingly strange, with his eyes staring straight at the spot in front of him.

Following the direction An Zhaoran was looking, Liu Wanqiu, belatedly realizing what was happening, also looked forward and sized up the couple who were only three or four steps away.

His gaze first swept across Guo Yan's face with a hint of doubt, and then soon turned to An Junan.

Upon seeing An Junan's figure, Liu Wanqiu, who had been looking confused, suddenly widened her eyes. Although the two had only met briefly, Liu Wanqiu still remembered this grandfather she had met before.

Recalling the last time Wen Yunwei treated someone to dinner, she encountered An Junan in the restaurant lobby.

Now, Liu Wanqiu is no longer as afraid to communicate with unfamiliar people as she used to be.

Under the care of her father, brother, and An Zhaoran, she is no longer afraid to communicate with strangers, and is increasingly showing a desire to move towards becoming a socialite.

Looking at the couple standing in front of her, Liu Wanqiu recognized them and raised her free arm.

He swung it forcefully.

"Grandpa, it's great to see you again!"
