Su Aiqian bit her lip; she felt guilty.
Lately, she hasn't been sleeping well and has been having nightmares, in which she returns to that ship from years ago. She hears a little girl crying, and when she turns around, she sees tiny Mianmian standing alone on the deck.
But when she rushed over to pick her up, Mianmian suddenly grew up, her eyes were cold, and her expression was resentful, as if she had seen an enemy.
"Why won't you let me go home? Why!"
Su Aiqian immediately burst into tears, large tears streaming down her face, but she couldn't utter a single word.
"You won't let me go home, you won't let me find my mom and dad! I hate you! I hate you!"
Su Ai suddenly woke up with a start, her pillow was soaked.
Even now, recalling the dream, she still feels lingering fear and gasps for breath.
“Old woman,” Jiang Youcai murmured at this moment, “after that ship wrecked, we should have handed Mianmian over to the police and let them help her find her family…”
"Shut up!" Su Aiqian glared at him, her heart pounding.
Jiang Youcai leaned over, put his arm around her shoulder, and patted her gently twice, like coaxing a child.
After so many years of marriage, he understood her feelings better than anyone. Although Mianmian was adopted, for the past twenty years, his wife had cherished her and held her in the palm of her hand, afraid that she would suffer the slightest grievance.

"this……"
"This secret must be kept. No matter what others say, we must stick to the story that Mianmian is our daughter!"
"Yes, that's how we've been all these years, hasn't it?" Jiang Youcai looked troubled. "But wife, the truth will always come out!"
“We can cover it!” Su Aiqian insisted, then thought for a moment and whispered, “I guess Xiao Huo said that to test us… He might be thinking that if Mianmian isn’t our daughter, then he won’t get anything!”
Jiang Youcai's eyes lit up; this sounded reasonable.
He simply doesn't believe that a son-in-law who marries into a family has no ulterior motives!
"Then, honey, what do we do?"
