Tang Wan broke the pancake given by the little soldier into two halves and drank a mouthful of water with her daughter. The cold river water brought a shudder to her stomach, but also filled her empty stomach.
The experiences of the past two days made her realize that it would be difficult to survive with her daughter alone. There was no better choice than to follow this young comrade, so she had to give it a try.
Suddenly, the little soldier's eyes changed.
He stood up suddenly, saluted forward and shouted, "Captain!"
The sparse grass was parted, and the man who came in was about 1.8 meters tall, with a straight and strong figure. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his wheat-colored muscles. His facial features were deep, and his pair of inappropriate peach blossom eyes glanced at them wildly and coldly. However, when he saw Tang Wan behind him, his expression changed and he strode forward.
Tang Wan's eyes widened in shock, her sweat-soaked black hair plastered to her forehead. She wanted to run away. Her daughter was knocked down by the force and asked anxiously, "Mom?"
"Wan'er?" The man's voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of uncertainty.
I was afraid that I had recognized the wrong person.
The person he had been looking for for ten years was now right in front of him, making him feel as if he was dreaming.
"Where have you been all these years?" Li Huaian seemed to have a thousand words to say, no longer as calm and composed as usual. Afraid that the person in front of him would disappear again, he held her wrist tightly.
He looked at Tang Wan with burning eyes, and after a while he smiled and said, "I have been looking for you..."
The man's rough fingertips were across his wrist, strange yet familiar.
The young soldier standing by was already stunned by the unusual action of the regiment commander and quickly retreated far away.
"What do you want to see me for?" Tang Wan couldn't believe it. It was him who had disappeared without a trace and it was also him who abandoned her. They hurriedly decided to get married without getting the approval of their parents. Later, she suffered from the rumors.
What is truly despairing is that Li Huaian’s family never thought of accepting her from the beginning to the end. She was despised by her family, ridiculed by her friends, and fled in embarrassment.
I had better leave now, otherwise my next silly daughter will become a topic of conversation for others...
"I was on a top-secret mission at that time and had no idea you were pregnant...My mom and the others couldn't keep their word..." The man's handsome face was filled with grief. He only learned of his wife's pregnancy and disappearance when he returned home. No matter how his family members explained, he refused to return home all these years and was only focused on finding his wife and children.
His family had long been worn out by him, and in the past two years they had also started looking for Wan'er and no longer mentioned his marriage.
Who would have thought it was in this remote mountain village? If he hadn't come here for training, he would never have found it. Thinking of this, the man's strength increased by three points.
Tang Wan's heart was also wavering.
Her situation is not very bad, she is single and raising a child.
At this time, Li Huaian came to his senses and found that the little girl huddled at the woman's feet had the same almond-shaped eyes as Wan'er, looking at him in horror, a thin and small ball.
He tried to lower his voice and asked gently, "She is?"
Li Huaian seemed like a god, unattainable.
Tang Wan glanced at the man in front of her with a complicated look, then looked down at her frail little daughter and whispered, "This is my daughter, Li Mingyue."
The heart is like the bright moon, it cannot be turned.
They once said when they were in love that if they had a daughter, they would name her Mingyue, and if they had a son, they would name him Yueming.
Li Huaian's heart softened upon hearing this, a smile spreading across his lips. He picked up the little girl, startling Li Mingyue to the point of yelling, "Mom!"
Tang Wan patted her little daughter's back and soothed her, "Don't be afraid, Yueyue. He, he is your real father!" Seeing her daughter's puzzled expression, she quickly added, "Follow Dad and I will never let you go hungry again."
He is Li Huaian’s daughter!
He is almost ten years old, but he is so skinny and not even as strong as his seven or eight-year-old nephew. It's all his fault.
Li Huaian looked at the woman with heartache. Tang Wan had been spoiled since she was a child, and she would rather lead a hard life with her daughter than go home.
Hate them for this.
Tang Wan felt a little uneasy.
His daughter has been very smart since she was young. Although she didn't understand the situation, she grasped the key information. She will never go hungry as long as she follows this father.
The man held her warmly in his arms. His strong arms were stronger than Li Jianguo's. Li Mingyue grabbed his clothes tightly and tentatively called out, "Dad!"
"Oh, good girl." Looking at his daughter who looked just like Wan'er, Li Huaian's heart melted.
Tang Wan brought her up well, making her sensible and obedient.
Holding the stick-like little girl in his arms, the man felt like he had something stuck in his throat. He secretly swore that he would make up for the love his daughter had lost over the years.
