[WangXian] Adoptive Father

Adoptive father Jiang Fengmian x adopted son Wei Wuxian, modern AU, short story. Excerpt: "Uncle Jiang, my uncle only asked my brother and me to look for Wei Ying. Now that we've found him, he should choose what happens next for himself," Lan Wangji said.

He had barely spoken when he saw the little Wei Ying beside him wearing the same helpless, bewildered expression he'd had at the orphanage entrance, afraid of being abandoned.

Seeing that the Lan family had nothing more to say about fighting for custody, Jiang Fengmian gently told the little Wei Ying, "I have a daughter, Yanli, who's a little older than you, and a son, A-Cheng, who's about your age. You kids will have lots of fun together."

Little Wei Ying slipped a hand into his jacket pocket and felt the key Lan Wangji had given him that morning. He looked at Lan Wangji, who gazed back calmly and said, "The Lan clan has over three thousand rules. If you choose to stay with us, you won't have to change your surname, but you will still have to follow them."

Wei Ying asked, "Would I be with you?"

Lan Wangji replied, "You can."

"Then I..." Little Wei Ying had made up his mind long ago, but Uncle Jiang had suddenly appeared and interrupted him. "A-Xian, think it over once more," he said.

At the same time, Lan Wangji suddenly asked, "Are your son Ling's dogs Feifei and Xiao Ai doing well?"

Thinking of his son's three dogs, Jiang Fengmian felt a little exasperated, though even more puzzled that Lan Wangji would take an interest in them. "They're doing well. Molly just had puppies, so there are even more of them at home now."

Only Lan Wangji knew that Wei Ying was afraid of dogs. The hairs on little Wei Ying's back stood on end, and a chill ran through him. He gripped the key tightly and hurriedly said, "Uncle Jiang, I've made up my mind. I want to stay with Lan Zhan."
