"Auntie Zhong, did you know that brother and I love to eat dumplings the most? It's just that I'm usually too busy and I don't have the time to give him a bag to eat." Tao Tian said.

"Really? What a coincidence! I'll have to eat more then, Aran." Hearing Tao Tian say this, Auntie Zhong became even more excited.

Tao Tian began to help Auntie Zhong with her work at night.

"An Xin, no matter how Auntie looks at you, you look like a big miss. Tell Auntie the truth, is this big brother of yours An An's dad? You guys eloped to come here …" Auntie Zhong was very concerned about Tao Tian's question. To say that Auntie Zhong's eyes were really sharp, she could tell at a glance that there was something unusual between the two of them.

"Auntie Zhong, that's not it." Tao Tian didn't expect Auntie Zhong to think this way. She replied somewhat frantically, "It's not what you think. He really is my brother. It's just that he is my foster mother's son. We are only siblings in the legal sense." Tao Tian knew that Auntie Zhong had her own eyes, so perhaps she had already seen some clues. It would be best for her to explain it clearly.

"So it's like that." Auntie Zhong fell into deep thought.

"But in my opinion, your brother might not be treating you as his little sister." Auntie Zhong looked at Tao Tian and spoke very seriously.

"Ai, Auntie Zhong …" Tao Tian didn't know how to explain his complicated situation. Moreover, if he knew his true identity, then it might be detrimental to his aunt. For a time, Tao Tian didn't know what to say.

"Mommy, Grandma, what are you doing?" Anthea stumbled into the kitchen. "Uncle said he was going to starve." Anthea said, pointing at Tao Ran who was sitting on the sofa.

"Ah, An An, it's you who's going to starve, or Uncle." Tao Tian leaned over and stroked An An's head.

An An shouted as she placed a finger in her mouth, looking at her mother with a smile.

"Alright, An An. Grandmother will bring the dumplings to the table now. Tell uncle to persevere." Auntie Zhong said to An An with a smile.

"Right." Anthea smiled and ran out.

"An Xin, you really are a lively and adorable child. Ai, I can't help but think back to when my child was only this much older …" Auntie Zhong seemed to be deep in thought.

"Auntie, you're also from outside, right? Looking at your appearance, you really look like a noble lady." Tao Tian looked Auntie Zhong up and down. Although her clothes were simple and plain, but it couldn't cover up her noble temperament.

"This child, I'm already old, so what's the use of being a noble lady? Eat your food, your brother will be starving in a while." Auntie Zhong said as she walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of dumplings.

Tao Tian also busied himself in the kitchen, preparing appetizers, dips, etc.

Not long later, the four of them were gathered at the dining table. They seemed to be in the same mood, as if they were a family.

"That's right, auntie. Tomorrow is the weekend, I still need to trouble you to take care of An Xin." Tao Tian suddenly thought of something. "Recently, a new star from our company came to shoot a promotional photo. I have to work overtime for the weekend, so brother has some work to do tomorrow."

"Yes, Auntie, I'll have to trouble you tomorrow." Tao Ran also added.

On the other hand, little An An held the dumplings in his hand and placed them one by one onto his spoon before putting them into his mouth. He was having a great time playing around and didn't notice that the adults were discussing him.

"So it's like that." Auntie Zhong looked troubled. "There's a performance for our singing and dancing team tomorrow." "The singing and dancing group that Auntie Zhong was talking about was the elderly singing and dancing group that she was currently participating in. She was in charge of the dance section and would occasionally have some activities." What should we do? " Auntie Zhong was anxious and guilty at the same time.

"So it's like that. What's the best course of action?" Tao Ran was even more anxious than Tao Tian.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Only then did Anthea realize that the adults seemed to be discussing him.

"It's nothing, it's An An. If you promise to be a good girl, Mommy will bring you to see a beautiful big sister tomorrow, okay?" Tao Yao smiled as he said to An An.

"Yeah." An Xin was still young, so she naturally didn't know about her mother's difficulties.

"Yes, An An is obedient now." Tao Tian said as he fed the cold dumplings to An Xin.

"Auntie Zhong, it's alright. I'll take An An to the company. Sister Qiong is a very good person. As long as An An is obedient and doesn't cause any trouble, there shouldn't be any problems." Tao Tian consoled Auntie Zhong, who had a guilty expression on her face.

"Sigh, I'll be troubling you." Auntie Zhong looked tenderly at Tao Tian. "My son should be in his twenties by now. I don't know if he has added a grandson for me or not."

"Auntie, your son, why didn't he come to see you?" Tao Ran cautiously asked.

"Sigh, what a sin. It's fine even if you don't want to. Eat, eat." Auntie Zhong obviously did not want to talk about her own matters.

"Aiya, adults are really long-winded. Why don't you just eat properly?" Anthea stuck out her little head and sighed.

This caused everyone to laugh out loud. "Alright, alright. We'll listen to An An's words and have a good meal." Auntie Zhong smiled as she picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Yes, grandma is the most obedient." Anthea imitated her mother's praise of him and said.

This caused everyone to burst out in laughter again.

"To be neighbors with your family, my old lady has finally picked them up. She shouldn't be too lonely." Auntie Zhong sighed with emotion as she looked at Tao Tian and Tao Ran's smiling faces.

"Auntie, if you want to, we'll come and harass you often." Tao Ran added.

As they chatted happily, everyone ate and drank to their fill. Seeing that it was late, Tao Ran and Tao Tian decided not to disturb Auntie Zhong too much. After saying good night, they left with An An.

"I keep having the feeling that this Auntie Zhong is very friendly." Tao Ran said.

"Maybe he has a Yan City accent just like us, hur hur." Tao Tian also expressed the same opinion.

"Yeah, that's possible." Tao Ran agreed.

"Alright, hurry up and take a shower. We still have to go to work tomorrow." After Tao Tian said this, he took An An An to take a bath. After everyone had finished washing up, they went to bed.

The frantic alarm rang out at an inopportune time, interrupting Tao Tian's beautiful dream. He stumbled up and quickly washed up before rushing into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

She couldn't rest during the weekend, but it was a pity that little Anthea had to suffer with her.

"That's right. Yesterday, I promised Qian'er I would bring An An to the movie set. That's exactly what I wanted." As Tao Tian thought this, he felt a bit more gratified.

After all the chaos in the morning, everyone finally went out.

Poor little An An's eyelids were still twitching, and he was dozing off in the car from time to time.

"Bro, what did Director Ye call you out for today?" When she and Tao Ran came to Yan City, the luckiest thing was that they would run into a good boss. After Ye Jinsheng found out about Tao Ran's situation, he barely asked for a job on the weekends.

"Ah, heavens, actually …" Tao Ran seemed to have something hard to say.

What?" "Tao Tian had a puzzled expression." Brother, did you run into some trouble? " Tao Tian became alert. Although he had been living a peaceful life for a few years, Tao Tian still sneaked out. His heart was always faintly uneasy.

"Oh, no." Tao Ran said loudly, "Actually, it's Miss Ye. She …"

"Oh, I understand. Miss Ye, you can't be thinking of asking me out because you like your brother, right?" After all, Tao Tian was a girl. Naturally, he had the delicate sensitivity that all girls had.

"Sigh. Yao Yao, actually, I …" Tao Ran didn't know what to say. It had been so long and Tao Tian knew his heart. With him, Miss Ye's heart was broken by Tao Tian. It felt more like being caught.

"Big brother, you should find me a sister-in-law now." Tao Tian spoke very seriously. It didn't seem like he was joking at all.

"Are you serious?" Tao Ran felt his heart ache. Had he never thought of finding a wife in Tao Tian's heart?

"Big brother, you have always been the most important person to me, so I want to see your happiness." Tao Tian spoke very seriously. However, Tao Ran had mixed feelings when he heard this.

"God, me …" Tao Ran didn't know what to say. Today, it was Ye Ning Tian who desperately asked him to come out and said that she was going to accompany him for a walk and a meal.

"Alright, big brother has a good date." Tao Tian smiled. "Remember what I said. Your happiness is the most important thing to me." When Tao Yao said this, she was very serious. It was hard to tell if she was sincere or not.

"Alright, I'm here. Goodbye big brother." Tao Yao smiled and carried An An An out of the car, leaving behind a stunned Tao Ran with complicated emotions.

These three years, he had been the most satisfied three years, so there was no need to worry. Together with Tao Tian, he raised a child and watched as Tao Tian was born. Tao Ran thought like this, a trace of a smile appearing on his face.

"Ring, ring, ring …" A burst of urgent ringing sounds came from his phone. It was Ye Ning Tian.

"Hello, Eldest Miss." Tao Ran picked up the phone and said politely.

"Brother Ran, where are you? Hurry and pick me up! " Ye Ningtian loudly said from the other side of the phone.

"Eldest Miss, I'm already on the way, I'm almost there. Think about where we're going next." Since he was already here, he might as well settle down, Tao Ran thought. Let's just treat it as a happy gathering of friends.

"Alright, hurry up." Ye Ning Tian said loudly like before and hung up the phone.

Tao Ran was both angry and amused at the same time. This young miss was very persistent about people and things. He really didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Not long after, the car arrived at the American Garden Villa District.

"Eldest Miss, I'm here. You can come out now." Tao Ran called Ye Ningtian and politely said.

"I'm already at the door. Turn around."

Tao Ran looked back and sure enough, Ye Ning Tian was running towards him with big steps.
