But he was incredibly happy inside, having two such lovely children who loved him dearly, even though he hadn't witnessed their birth or spent any time with them.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhengjun felt very sorry for the children.
However, he will definitely treat them better in the future to make up for the lost time.
"Xiaoyuan, An'an, Dad has a question for you."
Lu Zhengjun hesitated whether to ask, after all, the lost time was gone and could never be recovered. Time cannot be reversed, so asking would be pointless.
But how can he know what the children are thinking if he doesn't ask?
"Dad, ask him."
The two children nestled obediently beside him, their soft little bodies pressed against him, their eyes and hearts filled with dependence on him.
"Hmm... From the time you were born until now, your father has been busy with work. This is the first time I've seen you. Do you feel sad?" Lu Zhengjun asked, still feeling uneasy, because the answer to this question was not hard to guess.
"Of course I'm sad," the little girl said without hesitation, "Everyone else has a mom and dad, but An'an and her brother only have a mom. We've never even seen a dad! Once, an auntie even called us kids without dads, which really upset An'an!"
Lu Zhengjun's face darkened instantly. How could someone say such a thing in front of a child?
He needs to find out from Crescent Moon who is so annoying.
He was never a petty person, and he never took offenses or provocations to heart, but to say such things in front of his children, it would be strange if he didn't seek revenge.
Seeing his father's expression change, Lu Siyuan immediately comforted him.
“Dad, don’t be angry. Mom said she was going back then. And Mom told us that Dad didn’t mean to abandon us. Actually, Dad missed us a lot, but he had to leave to complete a very important mission, right?” Lu Siyuan said.
Lu Zhengjun was furious just a moment ago, but her heart melted the next second.
His two children are truly angel babies, as pure and lovely as angels.
“Yes! Of course Dad misses you all very much,” he said. He didn’t tell the children that he didn’t know they existed. Of course, this wasn’t a lie; he would always love them unconditionally. “Can you forgive Dad? From now on, Dad will always be by your side and watch you grow up.”
“No need to forgive him, we didn’t blame Dad. Dad is a great hero, Dad is the best!” the two little ones chimed in.
Lu Zhengjun was so happy that she felt it was all unreal.
Thankfully, the little bundle in his arms was warm and clung to him, allowing him to believe everything.
"You two are so wonderful." He hugged the two children tightly.
"Ouch, Daddy, you're too rough! An'an can't breathe!" Lu Si'an complained sweetly, pushing her father with her chubby little hands, but her face was all smiles, clearly showing how much she liked him.
Overwhelmed with paternal love, Lu Zhengjun gave them both a big kiss on the cheek.
Back then, the severe burns made Lu Zhengjun doubt that he could not have children, and the test results also showed that. He had given up hope, but Su Yueya kept telling him not to give up.
He wasn't actually worried about himself; he was just afraid that if Yueya really liked children, but he couldn't have any, it would leave her with lifelong regret.
Lu Zhengjun rarely had such a helpless moment.
He can find ways to solve other problems, work hard, and try his best to achieve his goals, but having a child is not something he can work hard for. Even if he tries his best, it may not be effective.
But it turns out that God had already arranged it all, sending him two such adorable children.
It was tough on Yueya, raising them all by herself.
Pregnancy, raising children, and working—Lu Zhengjun couldn't imagine how Su Yueya had persevered through it all. He was angry that he hadn't been able to be with Su Yueya during that time, nor had he been able to witness the birth and growth of their children.
This was his lifelong regret.
"Wife—" Lu Zhengjun suddenly called out.
Su Yueya was running water to give the two little ones a bath when she heard Lu Zhengjun call her, and she responded at the top of her lungs.
"What's wrong--"
"Thank you for your hard work!" Lu Zhengjun exclaimed.
Su Yueya: "..."
baffling!
Fortunately, Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an came to their side, and the regret of not being able to have children was completely filled. At least Su Yueya would not have any regrets for the rest of her life, and Lu Zhengjun felt a little more at ease.
"Honey, bring Xiaoyuan and An'an over here. The water's ready," Su Yueya called out.
Originally, Lu Zhengjun was going to let them go, but the two little ones clung to him and refused to leave his side. In the end, Su Yueya couldn't bear to watch any longer and let the three of them go, so she let them go herself.
I wonder when these two little ones will lose interest.
"Let's go, time to take a shower."
Lu Zhengjun picked up the two children, making them giggle again.
In the bathroom, the bathtub was already filled with warm water, and several ducklings floated on the surface. Two little ones were stripped naked and thrown in.
Su Yueya washed Lu Si'an, and Lu Zhengjun washed Lu Siyuan.
"Mommy, you've given An'an a bath so many times already. Can Daddy give An'an a bath today?" the little girl asked.
Before Su Yueya could speak, Lu Zhengjun refused outright.
“No, An’an, you’re a little girl. You can’t let a boy bathe you. And you shouldn’t bathe with your brother anymore,” Lu Zhengjun said, clearly taking on the role of a doting father.
"Why?" The little girl looked aggrieved and stared at Lu Zhengjun with pleading eyes.
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
I really want to slap myself!
But he wasn't wrong; that's exactly what he thought.
“An’an, you’re a little girl. Little girls have to bathe separately from boys, not even your older brother. And you can’t let other boys bathe you. Dad can’t, your uncles can’t, and your grandfather can’t either, understand?” Lu Zhengjun tried to keep her voice gentle.
"But why?" the little girl still asked, feeling wronged.
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
I have a headache. How am I supposed to explain this?
“Because boys and girls are different!” Lu Siyuan said. He could always give the simplest and most direct answer when Lu Si’an’s question left the adults speechless. “An’an, look, we look different, so let’s wash separately from now on.”
Lu Siyuan pointed to his distinctive body part, and Lu Si'an was about to look over—
"Don't look!" Lu Zhengjun was about to collapse. She covered her daughter's eyes, gave Su Yueya a wink, and then wrapped her son in a large bath towel and carried him away. That was considered the end of the bath.
When Lu Si'an opened her eyes, she found that her father and brother were both gone.
