Zhao Yan smiled and sat down again. “I like children very much. When I heard that Miss Jiang had two cute children, I quickly brought gifts over. I didn’t expect to scare them.”

His att.i.tude was very sincere, as if he was sincerely sorry about this.

However, Jiang An did not dare to completely believe it because Zou Bai was angry when facing Zhao Yan. He usually had a straight face and looked fine.

Jiang An could tell that he was in a bad mood.

This was all because of Zhao Yan’s arrival. Although she had a good impression of Zhao Yan, Zou Bai knew more. She still stood on Zou Bai’s side.

Zhao Yan did not care about this uncomfortable atmosphere at all. He handed the gift over and pulled Li Mei to talk about the happenings in the capital.

Li Mei had lived in the capital for many years and still missed it. She was very happy to hear Zhao Yan talk about those things.

Coupled with the fact that he was making her laugh, he looked much closer to the family than Zou Bai.

However, this action did not make Zou Bai even angrier. This was because not everyone who was close to Li Mei could become her son-in-law. Instead, it was whoever Jiang An liked who would become her son-in-law. He was already standing at the finish line.

“Little Feather, Daddy has already put the cake in the fridge for you. You can eat it in the afternoon,” Zou Bai said as he held Jiang Yu on his lap.

Jiang Yu was especially happy. She counted with her fingers and said, “When the time comes, we have to distribute it to Brother, Father, Mother, Grandpa, Grandma, Eldest Uncle…”

She went over one by one and finally said with a long face, “Is there enough cake?”

Zou Bai pinched her cheeks. “Of course it’s enough. Daddy brought a big cake.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu was happy. Then, Zou Bai called Jiang Yi over and said, “Daddy has also brought the gun that you especially liked last time. However, you can only treat it as a toy. I won’t give you bullets.”

It did not matter if there were no bullets. Jiang Yi was already very happy that it was a real gun. He had always been interested in firearms, but his mother did not allow him to touch them.

The two children liked presents very much. Jiang Yu even leaned into Zou Bai’s arms and wheedled.

Zou Bai wanted to show Zhao Yan that he was truly close to the children and that he shouldn’t casually try to get close to them.

He didn’t know what Zhao Yan was really thinking, but he knew that Zhao Yan had been competing with him. As long as he had something, Zhao Yan would want to s.n.a.t.c.h it. If he couldn’t s.n.a.t.c.h it, he would try to get something similar.

Seeing that he had a good relationship with the Jiang family, he quickly came to visit, wanting to get closer to the Jiang family.

Zou Bai could already guess what he was going to do next. He was going to try to s.n.a.t.c.h An’an from him.

As expected, Zhao Yan turned around and pulled Jiang An to chat. He knew very well that Jiang An cared about Mo Shen and kept talking about the Mo family. Jiang An’s attention was attracted, so she kept listening to him.

Zhao Yan thought that Zou Bai would be angry, but he didn’t react at all. Instead, he went to play with the children, as if he didn’t care about Jiang An at all.

This made Zhao Yan wonder if he had misjudged. In fact, Zou Bai did not like Jiang An that much. Thinking of this, he slowed down and lost his enthusiasm.

Zou Bai was relieved. Zhao Yan didn’t actually like An’an.

He knew that An’an was not someone who could be easily deceived. Since she was with him, she only had him in her heart. Not to mention that Zhao Yan did not even have a sincere heart, An’an would never be tempted by him.

However, he had to find an opportunity to intimidate Zhao Yan and let him know that there was a price to pay for having thoughts that he shouldn’t have.

Jiang An did not sense the compet.i.tion between the two men at all. She was focused on the Mo Family. From Zhao Yan, she learned what had happened to the Mo Family all these years.

She also knew that Mo Shen had a tough life after returning home. It wasn’t easy for him to get to where he was today.

The Mo Family naturally wouldn’t spread the news of the drug testing, but everyone in the four major families knew that the Mo Family had a reason for bringing Mo Shen back, and this reason was definitely to use Mo Shen.

Jiang An’s heart really ached for Mo Shen. How could such a warm big brother experience these things when he was young? He had clearly accepted death calmly at that time, but he still had to suffer so much.

Li Mei still didn’t know about Mo Shen and asked, “An’an, when did you meet the Mo family?”

Jiang An told Li Mei about what happened when they were young. She sighed and said, “What a good child. If I meet him, I’ll definitely thank him properly.”

Just as she finished speaking, a servant came in and said, “Madam, there’s a guest outside who says his name is Mo Shen..”
