Song Mingqian blinked innocently, pulled the blanket up a little, and returned to his state of being weak after recovering from a serious illness.

"Actually, it's not really a gift. I was just thinking that since we haven't officially become family yet, it wouldn't be appropriate to give Huanhuan a gift that's too expensive, so I prepared a little surprise for her."

"Husband and wife are one, let this be our shared sentiment."

"That won't do."

Lin Banxia rolled her eyes at him lightly: "I want to be Huanhuan's favorite person at home in the future. What if I don't prepare a special gift for her when we meet? You'll steal the spotlight from me."

"Okay, okay, I'll help you think of something."

Song Mingqian lay on the hospital bed chattering away, looking even more excited than Lin Banxia, ​​showing a strong sense of participation.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that he was the one who went with his daughter to get a kinship test today.

Lin Banxia was speechless from the noise, so she simply told him to shut up.

"Stop giving me any more bad advice. After you've been nagging me for so long, I've almost forgotten what I'm supposed to say to my daughter later."

She muttered to herself, "I even made a draft."

Seeing Lin Banxia seemingly reborn, full of energy and spirit, Song Mingqian felt incredibly gratified.

The way the two of them interacted seemed to have returned to the way they were in the first few years of their marriage.

Song Mingqian genuinely feels that he is truly happy right now.

It's still early; the hospital hasn't officially started work yet.

Song Mingqian and Lin Banxia figured that Shen Zhihuan would probably have to wait a while before arriving, so they weren't so nervous while tidying up.

But just as they were talking, they heard a clear knock on the door.

"They're here."

Lin Banxia subconsciously responded and walked over to open the door.

Unexpectedly, the one standing outside was Shen Zhihuan.

Her calm and composed demeanor instantly turned into one of helplessness. She wanted to touch her daughter's hand, but was afraid of being too abrupt. She stood there, overjoyed.

"Huanhuan, why did you come so early? Your dad and I were just talking about you."

Shen Zhihuan gripped the bag slung over her shoulder tightly, smiling politely and shyly.

"Uncle Song is already awake."

"Yes, yes, as soon as I told your dad last night that I had found you, he immediately opened his eyes. Such a deep connection, it would be hard to believe they weren't father and daughter."

Lin Banxia hurriedly led Shen Zhihuan into the house.

"Look at me, why am I still holding you up at the door? Come in and sit down."

When Song Mingqian was injured and unconscious, Shen Zhihuan was the one who treated him. She had seen him countless times.

But at this moment, there is a special feeling.

Shen Zhihuan carefully smiled at Song Mingqian, who was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes wide open, and raised her hand to greet him.

"Good morning."

Song Mingqian only said one sentence before quickly pursing his lips, afraid that he might accidentally let his tears fall.

The kinship test hasn't even been done yet, and he, as the father, is already crying. It's so embarrassing.

Even so, the moment Song Mingqian saw Shen Zhihuan, he couldn't help but scrutinize her features with his eyes.

The child looks exactly like a combination of him and Lin Banxia; she looks exactly like his daughter.

She's so pretty and cute, she's really lovable.

Song Mingqian had just been thinking that he must control his tears and not cry out loud on the spot, so as to establish the image of a great father in his daughter's mind.

But in reality, his eyes immediately welled up with tears within three seconds.

"Good child, come to me, let me take a good look at you."

Seeing Shen Zhihuan obediently take a few steps forward, Song Mingqian could no longer control his emotions and wanted to hug his long-lost daughter tightly.

Unfortunately, my body has not fully recovered yet, and I can't even sit up. I can only lie in the hospital bed and worry anxiously.

Lin Banxia shook her head helplessly at his red-rimmed eyes.

"You'd better shut up. You've been making a racket since you came in, and all my preparations have been wasted."

"I'm just happy."

Song Mingqian smiled sheepishly and took out the corn candy he had prepared in advance, placing it in his palm.

"Good child, come and have some candy. See if you like the taste."

This was, in fact, their first official meeting.

Girls are shy, so there's no way they could be as enthusiastic as him right from the start.

Knowing this himself, Song Mingqian suppressed his excitement and handed the candy to Lin Banxia, ​​gesturing for her to take it to her daughter.

"This candy is just a small token of our appreciation. We bought it at the market this morning. Huanhuan, if you don't mind, please try it."

Although Shen Zhihuan didn't know the origin of these corn candies, she could tell from the expressions of the two people that they must have a special meaning behind them.

Without saying a word, she unwrapped a candy, popped it into her mouth, and smiled sweetly.

"This candy is delicious, I like it very much."

"If you like it, that's fine."

Song Mingqian and Lin Banxia answered in unison, practically overjoyed.

Lin Banxia stood next to Shen Zhihuan once again, nervously wiping her palms on her skirt before gently taking Shen Zhihuan's hand.

"Don't feel pressured. Just chat with us. Come over here and sit down so your dad can take a good look at you."

As he watched his daughter walk step by step to his side, Song Mingqian's eyes instantly turned red. All the opening remarks he had prepared vanished in an instant, and he could only nod and say "okay" repeatedly.

He truly never imagined that he would have a day when his family would be reunited.

He is happier than he could ever dream.

Song Mingqian really wanted to hear Shen Zhihuan call him "Dad," but he was afraid that Shen Zhihuan would feel burdened if she heard it.

They only need Lin Banxia to show her emotions; in order to stay together for a longer time in the future, he must remain calm.

After choking back tears for what seemed like an eternity, Song Mingqian finally managed to speak.

"Thank you for fulfilling our dream and agreeing to go on a crazy adventure with us, to get our blood tested together."

Song Mingqian did not explicitly state that he had already accepted Shen Zhihuan as his daughter, but instead chose a roundabout way of saying it.

Seeing that he and Lin Banxia were both looking at her with eyes full of tension and anticipation, Shen Zhihuan was also very excited.

“I agree to do the testing, not only to fulfill your dreams, but also to satisfy my own wish.”

Shen Zhihuan lived two lifetimes, yet she never knew her true origins.

She had always thought it was just bad luck that she had encountered such terrible parents as Shen Yongcai and Fang Qiaolan, and suffered countless hardships and injustices with them.

In retrospect, this speculation may not be true.
