Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

"I don't understand. My cousin is used to being alone. Maybe getting married is a constraint for her. She has become a different person since she came back from studying in the city."

When Nan Chenliang talked about Nan Jinming, it was as if thousands of words wanted to come out of his throat. He felt that life should be like this, with the person you love and you can see them at any time in life.

If Nan Jinming had studied in the city before and had not returned, his identity must have been swapped with someone else, or... the current Nan Jinming may not be the real Nan Jinming.

Chu Xiaoran knew that he shouldn't think too much based on a clueless dream.

But he also hoped that this person was really Murong Beitang.

"Then why didn't she continue studying?"

"There was no money at home. You don't know, my mother was a capable woman, but she got old and her body was broken. She had no money to support my cousin's education, so she came back."

Nan Chenliang felt helpless when talking about his godmother. It was mainly because the fortune teller said that he had a bad fate, but he insisted that he adopt a godmother to bring him better luck.

Things are good now, his luck is back, and he has lived a smooth life for the past decade or so without encountering any major disasters or illnesses. Minor disasters and illnesses can be overcome with ease. Besides, it has been Nan Jinming who has been supporting the Nan family in recent years.

"Chenliang...you and Jinming are related by blood, right?"

Chu Xiaoran was drinking the porridge in the bowl, looking calm on the surface, as if asking casually.

Nan Chenliang sighed and said, "This happened several lifetimes ago! My father's mother-in-law and my cousin's mother are nieces, so she has some influence, but it shouldn't have any impact."

Nan Chenliang was deceiving himself. Everyone said that marriages between close relatives could not produce healthy children, but he loved her so much...how could he let her go?

"..."

Chu Xiaoran did not respond to his question. If it was really Nan Jinming, the union of the two would definitely be against public morality and the laws of nature.

But if it is Murong Beitang and Nan Chenliang, there is no relationship between the two of them being together.

Yes, no matter whether she is Nan Jinming or Murong Beitang, to me, true feelings are never those vague words, and what I want is often more than that.

Nan Jinming's carefree and unconventional personality already made Chu Xiaoran like her, but his identity was unknown and he dared not tell anyone.

Once Chu Zixuan knew his whereabouts, it would be useless to continue to escape.

Sometimes, Chu Xiaoran even found it funny. It was Chu Zixuan who had taken away everything from him, so how could an illegitimate child compete with him for the position of legitimate son?

"Oh! You've finished your porridge! Do you want more? I'll go to the kitchen and bring you another bowl."

Chu Xiaoran shook his head. Nan Chenliang was a child who looked cold on the outside but warm on the inside. His words were unpleasant to the ears, but he always thought about Nan Jinming. He knew that Nan Jinming was also worried about Chu Xiaoran's injury, so he took the initiative to take care of Chu Xiaoran.

"No, I want to go out and take a look."

"What are you looking at? The sun is very strong outside. If you go out, your skinny arms and legs will be boiled."

Nan Chenliang would sometimes go to the fields to work, but Nan's father couldn't bear to see his precious son break his hand, so he kept him alive by living off the land that the family rented out.
