“My mom just adopted my sisters Friday night,” An Xin answered as she nced at him. “Their mother died after giving birth to them and my mom adopted them.”


    She said it in such a nonchnt manner that she forgot to inform him that she was talking about cats, not humans. It could be seen from the look on his face that he was more than just surprised. No normal individual adopts children just like that. It was very expensive to raise a single child in the first ce but adopting two children?


    “Wow, your mom sure is rich,” Han Zixinmented. Only a ridiculous rich person would adopt children just like that or someone who had affection for newly born children.


    “We are not rich,” An Xin sighed. “I don’t know why you think we are that rich. We are just a little rich. That’s because my mom works too hard for us.”


    “An Xin, admit that you are a rich kid, “Han Zixin said with a deep breath. No normal kid carried a ck card like she was carrying that day.


    “Cheat prince, we really are not rich,” An Xin genuinely replied.


    “Don’t you live in a pce-like mansion?” inquired Han Zixin with a raise of his brow.


    “Nope, we live in a small vi,” answered An Xin. “Meimei, my maid is a poor girl who is working hard at our home to afford her younger brother’s school fees. Even our gardener uncle is poor. I heard all our staff are not that well off. So, how are we rich?”_.


    Why?


    Just why?


    Why did he forget that whenever he was talking to An Xin his IQ was bound to fall down? Logic and An Xin could never be present at the same time.


    “I will get you the toy,” said Han Zixin as he gently pushed her away.


    In a matter of five minutes, he got her five toys. She was immensely happy when he handed all the cute stuff toys.


    “Cheat Prince, well done!” An Xin brightly smiled at him and she showed him a well down sign.


    Han Zixin turned her face away as he felt something warm on his cheeks. He was not used to praise.


    “How many toys did Yan Shan get for his date?” An Xin asked as she saw the boy putting a cute hairband on the girl’s head.


    “One,” Han Zixin said with a straight face but a look of disgust could be seen in his eyes.


    “How embarrassing,” An Xin made a bad face. She hadn’t gained the ability of maintaining a poker face yet like a certain big boss. “Cheat prince, don’t be an embarrassing boyfriend when youe out with your girlfriend on a date in the future. But make sure, it’s not puppy love.”


    …


    Now they were in a restaurant in the mall where Yan Shan and his girl were talking to each other while eating their lunch.


    “Look, they are definitely dating! They are sharing a same drink,” Han Zixin reacted as he turned his head to look at An Xin who got caught red-handed.


    She gave him an embarrassed smile as he scratched her head and muttered, “Cheat Prince, your drink is more delicious than mine.”


    Han Zixin fiercely red at the thief who was drinking from his straw while he was doing the job they were supposed to do. How could she get so hungry after finishing two boxes of popcorn? Not only this, she was drinking from his cup too while she just finished hers.


    What was he supposed to do with her?


    He pped her hand away when he saw she was sneaking food from his te too.


    “Have some shame, An Xin!” Han Zixin red at her.


    An Xin smiled at him and said, “What’s shame? Is it something new on the menu? Is it delicious? Can I eat it?”


    Who was he even trying to understand?


    “Holy shit,” Han Zixin murdered when his eyes fell on the table where Yan Shan and the girl were upying earlier. He saw two elders joining the children. Not just any elders but Yan Shan’s father and the girl’s mother. As to how he knows about them. He had seen Yan Shan’s father often as he was a plumber and the steel pipe that he had was taken from the man. And as for the girl’s mother, she runs a very famous stall outside the school.


    “What’s wrong?” An Xin asked as he saw his eyes glued to the teenagers’ table where tap elders were joining them.


    “They are meeting each other’s parents,” Han Zixin muttered under his breath. “Did they skip all the other stages?”


    “What are you muttering to yourself?” An Xin asked him when she couldn’t hold her curiosity anymore.


    Han Zixin showed her the novel again. “You see, they jumped all the stages of dating and are directly meeting their parents. Generally, both the parties meet parents when they want to marry each other.”


    “Haww,” An Xin gasped, putting her hands on her mouth. “Cheat Prince, we failed to protect our ssmate. Sob. Sob. We failed to prevent him from falling into the ditch of puppy love. What will be of our ss’s Yan Shan? Does it mean he is not only doing puppy love but puppy marriage too?”


    “Are you done?” Han Zixin raised his brow at the girl.


    “No,” An Xin smiled and wiped her invisible tears. “I still have to cry for his grim future.”


    “Then, where are your tears?” Han Zixin inquired.


    “Heheheh, can’t you see my glittery eyeliner is a whole twenty dors?” An Xin showed her perfect white.


    “Wow, you sure are sincere,” Han Zixin sarcastically replied. What a trickster!


    “Cheat Prince, since our ssmate is getting married, shouldn’t we buy him a present?” An Xin asked like a magnanimous person that she was.


    “Of course, we will after we spend two months learning discipline in ss Ten A,” Han Zixin kindly reminded her.


    An Xin stared at him, wide-eyed. No way was she going to stay to enter the ss of study monsters! Those wizards would eat her alive! No. No. No. Can’t do it!
