CHAPTER 2539: CHAPTER 2539: HURRY UP AND TAKE BOTH LITTLE BROTHERS AWAY

He also likes this place, especially the treehouse. He finds sleeping in the treehouse especially reassuring.

But he understands even better that his father and mother can’t stay here forever. They have their own matters and responsibilities elsewhere. Coming to stay occasionally is fine.

"Auntie, don’t be sad. From now on, Nuonuo will accompany Auntie to stay here for a few days each year, alright? And the brothers will also come to stay."

"You."

An Jiuyue raised her hand and gently tapped the little baby’s nose again.

"Auntie, even though we have to leave here, it doesn’t mean we won’t come back. Nuonuo is right. If you miss this place, we’ll accompany you and come back to stay."

An Yixing also said.

Upon hearing this, An Jiuyue smiled and raised her hand to rub the heads of the three little babies.

"Didn’t we see the wild cherries on the mountain ripening yesterday? Auntie will take you to pick them, okay?"

"Okay, okay."

Qian Yinuo immediately clapped her hands, and then hurriedly ran toward the treehouse.

"Brother Xing, Brother Zhou, wait a moment. Nuonuo will fetch the basket for us to pick wild cherries together to make wine for mother."

He wanted to quickly take the two little brothers away so that the man wouldn’t have the chance to take them.

...

Inside the treehouse, the Old Patriarch had already sat down following An Jiuyue’s invitation.

Daya’s Father also sat down, but he appeared very constrained, somewhat afraid to look at An Jiuyue. Whether because he knew she was Prince An Yang and feared, or because the two children were his sons and he hadn’t come to acknowledge them for these years, he felt ashamed.

An Jiuyue poured tea for the two and handed the cups to them.

"Old Patriarch, have a sip of tea first."

"Good, good, thank you."

The Old Patriarch pulled the teacup over, responding profusely. Daya’s Father also took the teacup fearfully and sipped it cautiously.

"Are you the biological father of my treehouse and Zhou’er?" An Jiuyue’s eyes cooled as she looked at Daya’s Father.

"Tell me, what are you thinking? It’s been so many years, and you haven’t recognized the two children. Now that the children have grown sensible, do you plan to take them back? Do you think it’s possible?"

She questioned.

"No, no, I don’t intend to take the children back."

Daya’s Father hurriedly denied upon hearing An Jiuyue’s words, but then realized he might have misspoken and shook his head.

"Nor is it that. I’ve always wanted to take back the children, but... I felt ashamed to do so."

His heart was also in conflict. Facing the two children, he didn’t know what to do. Directly taking them back was definitely not possible.

The family had raised the children, and it wasn’t for nothing. How could it be that they would let him reclaim them just like that?

"Your family’s situation, I had someone investigate. Back then, during the flood, it was indeed your wife who concealed the Clan Leader’s effort to find the children’s parents."

An Jiuyue didn’t mince words and spoke directly.

"However, back then, the Clan Leader did not just inquire with your family. If you had truly cared, you would have quickly learned where the children were.

But you didn’t know, proving you didn’t genuinely seek the children. Therefore, I believe no necessity exists for the children to reunite with you."

"This... it’s not, not like that. Back then, our family was indeed in such difficulty, not reluctant to find, but..." Daya’s Father wanted to explain how tough things were back then.
