I'm home.

Grandma Li and Grandpa Li were also startled when they saw Zhong Nianyu.

The main reason is that she looks so much like Su Yu; if you said she was his daughter, no one would doubt it.

Zhong Nianyu sat somewhat awkwardly, the sofa beneath her was so soft and springy that she was afraid of breaking it.

Li Juan placed a bowl of wontons in front of Zhong Nianyu, saying, "Nianyu, eat up, it'll warm you up."

The wontons were topped with two golden-brown fried eggs and covered with shredded meat. They were piping hot and looked incredibly tempting.

Zhong Nianyu's mouth watered, but she still waved her hand and refused, "No need, Grandma. I'll take my clothes and go home. Thank you."

Li Juan felt extremely distressed and quickly said, "Grandma made this especially for you. If you don't eat it, wouldn't it be a waste of my good intentions?"

If this girl really is Ah Yu's child, then the mother and daughter have really had a tough time all these years...

Upon hearing this, Zhong Nianyu struggled for a moment before finally saying, "Then...then I'll eat it?"

"Silly child, eat up."

Nianyu picked up the spoon and stuffed it into her mouth without caring about the heat. Even when she burned herself, she couldn't bear to spit it out. Her little face was less than half the size of the bowl. Li Juan felt extremely sad watching this. "Eat slowly, don't burn yourself."

The little girl's mouth was stuffed full, her eyes squinted happily, and she mumbled, "So delicious! This is the best thing I've ever eaten!"

Li Juan almost burst into tears, cursing her son eight hundred times in her heart.

Su Lei lay on the table, curiously examining Nian Yu.

A short while later, Su Yan returned from outside with two new outfits.

"Nianyu, these are clothes and shoes for your mother and you, all new."

She had just finished speaking when a shadow suddenly fell into the living room doorway.

Everyone turned around and looked.

Su Yu stood panting at the door, staring intently at the girl whose mouth was stuffed up like a little hamster.

The little girl looked up, and his pupils suddenly contracted, his expression cracking for a moment.

Zhong Nianyu's eyes widened as well, then she asked in confusion, "Uncle, why do you look a bit like me?"

Judging from Su Yu's reaction, Su Yan had already guessed the answer.

She broke the silence, "Brother, why don't you take Nianyu home later? Her mother is still at home."

After saying that, she looked at Nianyu with a smile, "Nianyu, it's safer for this uncle to take you home, okay?"

Zhong Nianyu stared longingly at Su Yu.

For some reason, she really liked this uncle.

She could go home by herself, but she secretly hoped that this uncle would take her home.

"Sure!" she nodded emphatically.

Su Yan rubbed her head. "Eat."

After saying that, she pulled Su Yu and walked out.

Li Juan and Tao Yue quickly followed.

The three of them sat down in the pavilion.

Su Yu picked up an orange from the table and peeled it, his face looking extremely grim.

“Brother, Nianyu is your daughter. You recognized her, didn’t you?” Su Yan asked directly.

Li Juan patted her son and said anxiously, "What exactly happened? Explain yourself quickly."

Su Yu said with a worried look on his face, "The year I was on a mission, I was shot. The bullet was coated with an aphrodisiac. I was running up the mountain, and my patience was almost at its limit when I ran into a woman digging potatoes, and then..."

What happened next is self-evident.

Li Juan was so angry that she grabbed him hard and yelled, "Isn't this just being a pervert? How could you do that to a girl? How is she supposed to get married in the future? Why did I give birth to a son like you!"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Su Yu dared not refute.

The medicine was too potent; he had already reached his limit.

If he hadn't met that woman, he might have died from his blood vessels bursting.

"Mother, my elder brother didn't want this to happen either."

Su Yan understood the effects of aphrodisiacs.

If it's a lethal dose of that kind of drug, even the most patient person would be tormented to the point of unbearable pain.

In this situation, you either need to find someone to solve it, or you're just waiting to die.

"And then what happened? You woke up and left?" Li Juan could only continue to press for an answer.

"No," Su Yu said awkwardly. "She took care of me afterwards. After I woke up, I explained everything to her and promised her that I would take responsibility for her after the mission was over. She agreed, and I rested for a week before leaving. After the mission ended, I was temporarily detained for various reasons, but I asked Jiang Jingxing to go find her. It turned out that the people in that village said she was a sent-down youth, not from their village, and that she had already returned to the city to get married."

She's already married; wouldn't his appearance at this time be disrupting her life?

So he didn't let Jiang Jingxing continue the search.

Upon hearing this, Li Juan couldn't help but pinch his arm again. "You brat, are you even human? I think Nianyu is definitely your daughter. All that talk about marriage is a lie. There's definitely something else going on here. You better understand this. They've suffered so much injustice for so many years. You have to bring them back to make it up to them, or you're not going to come back to this house!"

How important is a woman's reputation these days?

If people found out about something like Nianyu Niang's affair, she would be drowned in spittle!

Li Juan couldn't even imagine how difficult the girl's situation must have been, given that she had already lost her reputation before marriage and was now pregnant.

"Mother, I know I was wrong," Su Yu said. "I'm not the kind of irresponsible person."

He still can't quite believe it.

That one time, he had a daughter.

Thinking of that delicate and gentle woman, he couldn't help but curse himself as a beast.

At this moment, Nianyu came out of the living room and whispered, "Sister, I'm finished eating. Can I go home? I sneaked out, and Mom will definitely be worried when she wakes up."

The group immediately stopped talking.

Su Yu looked at the little girl who looked very much like him with a complicated expression. He walked over and squatted down in front of her, asking, "Why did you sneak out?"

Nianyu said earnestly, "It's snowing. Mom said it's dangerous on the mountain and won't let me pick mushrooms, but we don't have enough money at home to buy medicine for Mom."

Su Yu's eyes reddened as he continued, "Didn't you go to school?"

Nianyu shook her head. "My mother is very capable. She can do everything. And I want to stay with my mother because she is not in good health."

After saying that, she tilted her head and asked curiously, "Uncle, why do you look so much like me? Are you my father?"

Su Yu raised his hand and brushed aside her messy hair, saying in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I am your biological father."

Nianyu is very cute, but she has been malnourished for a long time, so she is very thin and small. Su Yu is afraid of hurting her.

Nianyu's eyes widened, and she asked uncertainly in her childish voice, "Really? Then why didn't you come to find me and Mom? Mom said that Dad is a soldier uncle, and he has to protect the country, so he can't come back. We have to understand Dad."
