"No need, you've worked all day, don't overwork yourself, Dad will take care of you." Duan Hongguo was immersed in happiness, and he called Duan Yueman upstairs to rest: "Child, you go and rest first, Dongcheng's dad can take care of you. Dad has to go out tomorrow, you have to take good care of yourself these next few days."
Duan Yueman originally wanted to ask him where he was going, but seeing her father's happy expression and glancing at her new younger brother, the words she was about to say suddenly stopped.
Helpless, he could only nod and instruct his elderly father, "Remember to bring your medicine on the long journey. You're getting old, so don't stay up too late and don't get too emotional, okay, Dad?"
"I know, I know, don't worry, Dad will take good care of himself. You've had a long day, go and rest." Duan Hongguo still doted on this daughter.
Duan Yueman nodded, glanced at her father with concern, and went upstairs. She knew her father must have a lot to say to his son, and she was exhausted after a long day and really needed to rest. Lately, she had been thinking too much and her mind was too tired.
Watching my nominal older sister go upstairs!
Hai Dongcheng felt that they were the real family.
Over the years, my mother has been all alone, always grieving over the only incomplete photograph she has, saying that she shouldn't have married my father, preventing him from being with the one he loved and causing this family tragedy.
If she hadn't married Duan Hongguo, perhaps the enemy agent wouldn't have killed her entire family in revenge against Duan Hongguo.
Duan Hongguo's parents also perished, which shocked the public and caused a great deal of controversy.
"Son, sit for a while and get used to the environment. Dad will go and make your bed and bedding."
Duan Hongguo told his son to sit down first, and that he would go upstairs to tidy up his room.
Hai Dongcheng then noticed that, despite being in his fifties, he looked much older than his age.
"Oh right, I asked Xiao Xu to buy you some food. It will be delivered later. You can eat first, and Dad will come down after he has tidied up your room."
He realized his son probably hadn't eaten yet, and since the two of them were still quite unfamiliar with each other, he had rushed back and was thinking of quickly going to the Lan family to confirm if Lin Qiyue was his daughter. He had forgotten that his son's money had been stolen and he had no money for food, so he asked his guard to help him buy some.
Actually, he had been busy all day and hadn't eaten yet.
"Thanks!"
Duan Hongguo looked up and glanced at his son. Just now at the police station, his son had called him "Dad." Perhaps he was too anxious to find his sister, which was why he called him that.
He wasn't in a hurry, thinking there was plenty of time and they should give each other some time to adjust.
"These are all things that your father has failed you all!" How could he not regret it? But it was all too late to change anything.
He was content to see his son doing well and even going to university.
She gently patted Hai Dongcheng's shoulder, then turned and went upstairs to clean the room.
Upon arriving at the room door, I saw Duan Yueman carrying clean, new bedding into the guest room.
"Yueman, what's wrong?" Seeing her tidying up her son's room touched me deeply.
Duan Yueman said, "Dad, you're getting old. I can do these chores. Why don't you talk to your brother?"
Although she was willful, she understood that her father had been missing his missing wife and children and unborn child all these years.
"He hasn't gotten used to his dad yet, I want to give him some time. Have you eaten?" Realizing that he was too happy just now and forgot to ask about his daughter, he suddenly felt a pang of regret.
Duan Yueman nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry! I'm a nurse, and my work is so demanding, how could I possibly skip meals!"
Even though she was heartbroken, work was really important to her, so how could she not eat?
Seeing his daughter say that, Duan Hongguo breathed a sigh of relief.
Duan Yueman noticed her father's concerns and then said, "Dad, don't worry! You will always be my dad, and my brother will always be my brother. When Mom comes back, I will treat her the same way I treat Dad."
She didn't want to upset or embarrass her father.
She had just decided that if her father found a family and they couldn't get along, she would move out, since they were the real family.
"Okay, our Yueman is the most considerate and understands her father's heart the most!" Duan Hongguo gently patted his daughter's shoulder, staring at her. She really looked more and more like her mother. "Yueman, all these years, your father has longed to find your mother and younger siblings. If I have neglected you these days, don't keep it to yourself. Be sure to tell your father!"
Dad will definitely change his attitude. You'll always be Dad's daughter, you know?
He knew that with a new person joining their life, his daughter would definitely overthink things.
He may find it difficult to maintain balance, but he will try his best to do so while remaining clear-headed and rational, so as not to hurt any of his family members.
Duan Yueman nodded and said to her father, "Dad, I have received your love for twenty years, and I have grown up and have the ability to think for myself. I won't overthink it. Yueman also hopes to see Mom come back soon."
Duan Hongguo was very pleased to see how much Duan Yueman resembled him.
The thought of seeing his wife filled him with worry; would she come back with him?
"Dad, why don't you go and talk to my brother? I'll get him ready and then I'll take a shower and rest. I have to go to work at seven o'clock tomorrow, so you should get some rest too." Duan Yueman was indeed tired.
Duan Hongguo nodded and went downstairs again, where he saw his son busy in the kitchen.
Seeing the food brought to the table, he asked in confusion, "Is it not to your liking?"
