No matter what shameful and despicable things Ye Xiaohua had done before, she was forced into it! He had no choice but to understand!
Even though he didn't like Ye Xiaohua at all, he wouldn't get a divorce. He was a soldier! He had to shoulder the responsibilities of a man, put aside past grievances, and be a qualified husband and father!
Love? Haha—it's a luxury, and how many people actually have it? Just like his parents, their marriage was arranged by their parents and matchmakers, and there was no love between them, yet they still had several children and lived peacefully for most of their lives!
So, he and Ye Xiaohua are also a good match!
The immediate issue is to get Ye Xiaohua to completely sever ties with her sordid past and then bring her and the child back to the He family!
He Yan thought about it. Given how much his sister and mother looked down on Ye Xiaohua, would they be able to take care of and treat Ye Xiaohua and her child well if they came to the He family with her?
Obviously not!
He Yan felt that he should let the mother and daughter come with him to the army so that he could personally educate the child. Although Ye Xiaohua could read a few characters, she was not yet capable of educating children. He was the one who should be responsible for the child's education.
As for his marital life with Ye Xiaohua, let's just forget about it. They live a respectful but distant life. He can't bring himself to touch her. He didn't want to touch her four years ago, and now that she's been with so many men, he's even less likely to touch her.
Let's treat each other like family and live under the same roof!
He didn't really have any needs in this area. The only time he had sex was when Ye Xiaohua drugged him and forced him, which was a terrible experience. He never wanted to have to go through that again.
He Yan had a lot on his mind that night!
Because of his marriage to Xiaohua, Commander He called He Yan's superior and approved several months of leave for He Yan, something He Yan hadn't done in years. He just took it.
Commander He gave He Yan an order: if he couldn't save Ye Xiaohua and his marriage with her, then he should disown him as his father. He didn't have an ungrateful son like He Yan!
He Yan got up early the next day and was about to leave without even having breakfast when Su Qin stopped him: "Where are you going?"
Ever since He Yan overheard his mother and sister's conversation yesterday, his positive feelings towards them have completely shattered.
But not wanting her to interfere in his affairs, he made up a story: "I'm meeting a local comrade-in-arms."
After saying that, he drove off in one of his family's Lada Niva SUVs.
When Ye Xiaohua arrived at her rented apartment complex, she was scheduled to work as a translator for a foreign trade company that morning. The job had been introduced to her by the father of one of her students.
She didn't know if He Yan would come today, but just in case, she still told the aunt who was taking care of Kang An not to believe anyone who claimed to be Kang An's father, and under no circumstances should anyone other than her take Kang An away!
Try to keep your children at home and avoid taking them out!
He Yan knew where she lived, so he came up and knocked on the door. Ye Xiaohua rented a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. There was a security door outside the main entrance. The aunt opened the door and saw an extremely handsome man outside through the security door. His clothes and demeanor exuded a strong, upright, and somewhat noble air about him!
The auntie recognized him immediately upon seeing him; he must be Kang An's father, because Kang An looks very much like him!
No wonder Xiaohua specifically instructed her before leaving; it seems she was wary of Kang An's biological father.
"Who are you looking for, comrade?"
Aunt Chen still asked politely.
He Yan looked at the woman, who appeared to be in her forties or fifties, and frowned slightly: "Who are you? How did you end up here?"
Hearing the noise, Kang An came out of his room to see what was going on and saw that it was the same uncle from yesterday.
Then she said to Aunt Chen, "Auntie, this is the strange uncle I told you about yesterday. My mom seems to really dislike him, so please don't let him in!"
Aunt Chen patted Kang An's head: "Auntie definitely won't let him in."
"Are you the nanny who takes care of this child? Where is Ye Xiaohua? How could she leave the child like this and let you watch her with such a carefree attitude?"
He Yan saw an aunt taking care of his child alone and immediately felt some dissatisfaction with Ye Xiaohua!
"Comrade, I've been taking care of this child for a year and a half now. The child's safety is not something a stranger like you needs to worry about. The child's mother is very reassured!"
The aunt thought to herself, "No wonder Ye Xiaohua doesn't like this person. Listen to what she's saying. Why is she worried about taking care of the child? Does she think she can kidnap the child?"
"My mom went to earn money. She's going to earn lots and lots of money for me. She's going to buy me a big house, a house like a castle, so I can live like a little princess!"
At that time, there were no theme parks like Disneyland in China, so Xiaohua would draw them for her child and then tell her related stories. That's why Kang'an knew what a princess's castle was and what a castle looked like.
Xiaohua often tells him, "Mommy goes out to earn money to buy you a big house like a castle. Be good at home with Auntie. Mommy will come back after I earn money. Mommy will earn lots and lots of money for you." Perhaps because she often says this to the child, the child has gradually remembered these words.
When He Yan questioned where her mother had gone, Xiao Kang'an, though very young, didn't like He Yan's tone when talking about her mother. So he wanted to tell He Yan that her mother had gone out to earn money for her and that her mother was remarkable.
But He Yan heard a different story. What kind of money did Ye Xiaohua earn? Was it money from illicit sex work?
