Qin Jun looked at the birthmark on Qin Yu's waist, then reached out and unbuttoned his own clothes, pulling them up to reveal his own birthmark.

It's very similar to Qin Yu's birthmark; both are the same shade of pink.

"As long as they are of the Qin family bloodline, they will be the first to have it."

"When your mother brought Qin Yao home, I was under investigation..."

Qin Jun lowered his head in frustration, blaming himself for his incompetence.

“Child, your mother and I have wronged you all these years, making you suffer for more than 20 years.”

"Believe me, I wish I could send that family of vampires to their deaths with a bullet right now..."

Qin Jun was seething with hatred, especially after learning from the villagers about Qin Yu's childhood and hearing that his son, who should have been enjoying a comfortable life at home, was being subjected to inhuman abuse in the countryside.

How could he, as the father, not be angry?

Enraged, he went to the place where Qin Tao was being held and gave him a severe beating.

If they weren't afraid he'd make a mistake and beat him too hard, they wouldn't have dared to come up and try to persuade him.

Qin Yu looked at Qin Jun and asked softly.

What do you want from me?

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, the two immediately shook their heads.

“We don’t want anything from you. We know how unforgivable our mistakes are. When we think about the grievances you’ve suffered over the past twenty years, we realize it’s all my fault that Qin Tao had the opportunity to take advantage of you. I’m so sorry to you and your daughter.”

Qin Jun lowered his head and said with remorse.

“I should have told your mother a long time ago that I was going to cooperate with the organization to stage a play, and be arrested and interrogated in public, just to force the person behind it to show up. I was afraid your mother would worry, so I didn’t dare to tell her.”

"But who knew that your mother would find out from elsewhere that I had been arrested, and she ran away all by herself. As a result, she was so emotional that she gave birth to you in the county town."

"Your maternal grandfather received the news the next day and came to pick up your mother."

Qin Jun's confession made Qin Yu sigh softly.

If it were him, he wouldn't dare tell Xia Lan about this mission either.

Even with this injury, his original intention was to keep it from Xia Lan so that she wouldn't worry.

In a sense, his choice was the same as Qin Jun's.

"This is not your fault, it is my fault. I didn't listen to advice and insisted on running out."

Xiao Yuqin wiped away her tears and blamed herself.

Her father had already told her that Qin Jun was just putting on an act, but she didn't believe it. She thought that her father, who had never liked Qin Jun, was deliberately trying to break them up.

He stubbornly ran out.

That's why this happened.

Everything was wrong because of her.

Seeing Xiao Yuqin's remorseful expression, Qin Yu believed Xia Lan's words; they truly thought it was all their fault.

“A rich man was walking down the street when someone deliberately tripped him with a rope and stole his things.”

Qin Yu spoke slowly.

Qin Jun and Xiao Yuqin exchanged a glance, not understanding what this meant.

Was it the rope's fault?

The two shook their heads.

"Is it the fault of the rich being too rich?"

The two were stunned for a moment, then understood what Qin Yu meant.

"Those who are wrong are always the ones who have crooked thoughts; being rich is never wrong."

“A rope is just a tool. If you use it to bind an evil person, then it is good; if you use it to deliberately trip someone, then it is evil. It is never determined by the rope itself.”

Qin Yu's words seemed to be telling a meaningful story, but they were actually meant to enlighten the two of them.

"You're a good boy!"

With red eyes, Xiao Yuqin walked up to Qin Yu and smiled at him.

May I sit down?

"I didn't refuse you a seat..."

Qin Yu didn't know how to face them, and said awkwardly in a low voice.

Hearing Qin Yu's awkward words, Xiao Yuqin smiled slightly and sat down on the chair next to Qin Yu's hospital bed.

He scrutinized Qin Yu closely, noticing his features, which were strikingly similar to Qin Jun's—his deep-set eyes and high, straight nose…

Qin Yu felt a little embarrassed by her intense gaze, but he didn't know how to remind her.

He didn't dare turn around to look at her, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

"Don't look at the child like that, it's making the child embarrassed."

It was Qin Jun who noticed Qin Yu's predicament and spoke up for him.

Xiao Yuqin then realized what was happening and quickly apologized to Qin Yu.

"Sorry, I was completely mesmerized!"

"Um!"

Qin Yu's ears turned slightly red, and he responded softly.

"Old Qin and I came here not to force you. You've been without parents for so many years. Although we are your biological parents, we don't want to force you to acknowledge us. We are willing to wait until the day you are willing to accept us!"

Xiao Yuqin told Qin Yu the results of her discussion with Qin Jun: they genuinely wanted to acknowledge him, but also gave him absolute respect.

I am willing to listen to his wishes.

"I just hope you won't reject our closeness. If we can occasionally have a meal together like a family, I'll be content."

Xiao Yuqin wiped away her tears and looked at her son, who had grown into a man. She could only approach him cautiously.

Qin Yu looked at the two of them, pursed his lips, and seemed to want to say something.

Qin Jun and Xiao Yuqin waited quietly until Qin Yu finally spoke.

"You're going to be grandparents."

The two of them were instantly stunned.

“Last night, Lanlan and I talked about you guys, and she asked me if I was against you.”

"I can't describe how I feel. I only received a little bit of love from Grandma Qin when I was a child. After Grandma Qin died, my life changed drastically, and I became a child who was neither loved by my father nor my mother."

"Over the years, it would be a lie to say I don't hate, but if I really have to hate, I don't know what to hate!"

"I imagined many ways I might meet you, but none of them came to pass. Instead, you found me first!"

Qin Yu looked up at the two of them and continued.

“I know what you’ve done. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I see your sincerity, and I’m willing to give you a chance.”

"Let's try visiting each other first! We can go out occasionally..."

Qin Yu's words delighted the two of them, and their eyes lit up with surprise.

"Of course! We'd love to!"

Xiao Yuqin and Qin Jun nodded repeatedly. For them, Qin Yu's willingness to try to accept them was undoubtedly the best starting point.

They believe that as long as they continue to get along, there will eventually come a day when he will be willing to call them 'Mom and Dad'!

"I...I need to rest."

After saying all that, Qin Yu covered himself with the blanket.

"Then...then you should get some rest, we'll come see you again tomorrow!"

Seeing Qin Yu's expression, Xiao Yuqin's eyes lit up, and she happily replied.

He pulled Qin Jun, who was about to speak, out of the ward and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

Qin Yu watched their departing figures and then breathed a sigh of relief.
