No parent would truly bear to blame their child.
In particular, Lu Zhengjun wasn't going out to commit evil deeds, but rather to carry out a mission for the country. Lu Anguo was not only her father, but also a division commander in the army, so it was impossible for him not to understand.
"I understand." Lu Zhengjun hugged Su Yueya tightly and sighed, "Wife, thank goodness I still have you, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do..."
"It's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be." Su Yueya hugged him tightly with affection, gently patting his back to help him calm down.
When Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an saw their parents suddenly hugging, they rushed over without saying a word.
"I want a hug too!"
"We want some too!"
The two little ones, like little whirlwinds, each grabbed one of their parents' legs and clung tightly to them.
However, she was slightly dissatisfied because she was too short.
"Daddy, pick me up quickly!" Princess Lu Si'an gave the order, and how could her father dare to disobey?
So the couple had to pick up the two little ones again, and the four of them were together again before they were satisfied.
Looking at Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an, Lu Zhengjun had an idea.
How could we ignore them?
"Xiaoyuan, An'an, we're going to Grandpa and Grandma's house later. Dad needs your help with something..." Lu Zhengjun immediately whispered to them.
Looking at this beautiful scene, Su Yueya felt that Lu Zhengjun was overthinking things. How could her parents bear to blame him?
But she could completely understand Lu Zhengjun's trepidation at the prospect of returning home.
The family of four, carrying the gifts, drove back to the Lu family home.
Today was a day off, and Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui were both at home. A familiar car was parked in front of the door, and the two of them thought it was Su Yueya bringing her grandchildren to visit them, so they happily went out to greet them.
"Xiao Yuan, An An—" Bai Xiuhui walked out happily, just about to hug the children, when she saw a man get out of the driver's seat, and she stopped in her tracks instantly.
Lu Anguo, who was right behind him, also saw Lu Zhengjun immediately.
"Son?" Lu Anguo was in a daze, thinking he was seeing things. He stared at it for several seconds before excitedly accepting it all.
"son!"
Bai Xiuhui moved faster than Lu Anguo. For the first time, she ignored her grandchildren and rushed to Lu Zhengjun, hugging him tightly.
"Son!" She choked up instantly, hugging Lu Zhengjun and crying uncontrollably.
Lu Zhengjun couldn't say a word. She hugged her mother tightly while looking at her father. Their eyes met, and there were too many unspoken words in their gazes.
"You're not dead, you're not dead! That's wonderful!" Bai Xiuhui's mind was blank, and she kept repeating these words. Tears were already streaming down her face. She felt so happy at this moment that it was unreal.
"Mom, I'm sorry..." Lu Zhengjun could only apologize repeatedly.
Lu Anguo didn't say anything. He stepped forward, gently squeezed his wife's arm to comfort her, and then patted his son's shoulder.
"It's good that you're back." In that instant, Lu Anguo understood many of the problems that had been troubling him.
"Dad, Mom, you've had a hard time these past few years..." Lu Zhengjun felt so much guilt; he could never truly forgive himself for the harm he had caused to his loved ones.
“Let’s not talk about these things, son, there’s no need to say these things!” Lu Anguo shook his head and said.
There's absolutely no need to use the words "I'm sorry" between family members.
Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Su Yueya quickly winked at the two little ones, signaling them to go over and distract their grandparents.
"What did Dad tell you?" Su Yueya blinked. "Go quickly."
The two little ones nodded excitedly, as if they were about to carry out some important mission, and rushed to their grandparents' side with their short legs.
"Grandpa! Grandma!"
We've come to see you!
Lu Si'an tugged at her grandfather's trouser leg, reaching out for a hug, and asked sweetly, "Grandpa, did you miss An'an? An'an missed you and Grandma so much at home!"
With just one sentence, the old man was completely bewildered.
Looking at her two adorable grandchildren, and then at her son and daughter-in-law, Bai Xiuhui felt a mix of tears and laughter, and felt incredibly happy.
"Mom, it's alright, everything is over..." Su Yueya went over and hugged her, reminding her, "Let's go inside first, we can talk slowly inside."
"Okay, okay!" Bai Xiuhui wiped away her tears.
Upon entering the house, the first thing they did was ask Lu Zhengjun what had happened during the years she had "disappeared."
"So the news of your sacrifice was false, and the military deliberately arranged it so that you would change your identity and become an undercover agent?" Lu Anguo asked.
“Yes.” Lu Zhengjun nodded. He noticed that his parents looked much older than before he left, but in fact, their physical condition was originally very good, so they shouldn’t have aged so quickly.
Moreover, their current condition is only due to Su Yueya's frequent visits, various tonics, and changes in the spiritual spring water.
So the news of his accident really hit them hard.
"Mom and Dad, please forgive me for not being able to speak up in that situation—" Lu Zhengjun wanted to apologize again, but no matter how he apologized, he could not make up for the damage that had already been done.
"Let's not talk about this!" Lu Anguo raised his hand domineeringly to interrupt Lu Zhengjun's apology, and said seriously, "Son, this is a mission, a responsibility you should bear. Your mother and I can understand, and besides, this is already the best outcome."
Bai Xiuhui wasn't without resentment, but her husband was right; as a military family member, she had that much awareness.
Most importantly, as Lu Anguo said, this is already the best possible outcome.
"When will the report be released?" Lu Anguo asked.
"It should be soon," Lu Zhengjun thought of the promises made to him by several army commanders and wanted to make his family happy in advance, so he casually mentioned the promotion. "Brigade Commander Yang is about to retire. The higher-ups were quite satisfied with this mission, so I will probably be promoted to brigade commander afterward."
"Great!" Lu Anguo was so happy that he slapped Lu Zhengjun on the shoulder.
To be honest, this son has really brought him a lot of pride.
He has always been a renowned elite soldier in the army, and from now on, he will likely gain another title: the youngest brigade commander.
The position of brigade commander is not particularly rare or difficult to obtain. The main thing is that for Lu Zhengjun to be promoted to brigade commander at her age is absolutely unprecedented and will never be repeated.
His old comrades must be incredibly envious of him.
"Good lad, well done!" Lu Anguo couldn't help but praise him repeatedly, while also reminiscing about how he had discovered something amiss with the corpse.
