Chapter 707 Father’s Love is Like a Mountain
Xiao Yan did not expose her forced calmness, but just walked silently to the opposite side of her and sat down.
His gaze was calm and sharp, looking straight into hers, as if he wanted to see through all the anxiety and difficulties she was hiding.
After a moment, he spoke, his voice low and steady: "I was worried about you, so I came to see you."
Just such a simple sentence instantly shattered all of San Ya's carefully constructed mental defenses.
Her nose felt sore, and the fear and loneliness she had suppressed for months suddenly burst out. Tears rolled down without warning, hitting the page in front of her, leaving a smudge of ink.
Xiao Yan looked at her crying silently, and his heart felt as if it was being pressed down by a huge rock, dull and painful.
But he didn't say anything to comfort her. Instead, he asked in a normal tone, "Why are you crying?"
He paused, then slowed his voice, speaking with the steady strength of a rock, "Isn't Dad here?"
He stood up, walked to the window and looked around the yard, as if looking for something.
His tone was extremely natural, even with a hint of homely triviality: "Are you hungry? Before Dad came here, I secretly learned from your mom how to make your favorite rolled noodles. Dad will make it for you."
This sentence made San Ya's emotions completely collapse.
She couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears on the table, her shoulders shaking violently with sobs.
"Dad... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." She choked and spoke incoherently, "I've caused a lot of trouble for our family... I know I shouldn't have done that... But I want this child... I really want him..."
She raised her tear-stained face, the anxiety and fear that had been pent up for so long finally finding an outlet: "But... the further the month goes, the more scared I am... I'm afraid the Northwest Army will lose their morale because of me, I'm afraid my reputation will be ruined, and I'm even more afraid... I'm even more afraid that this will bring disaster to our family... Dad, I regret this, I'm really scared..."
At first she thought it was simple, thinking that it might be her biological mother coming back to find her.
She wants to stay.
She can afford it too.
Besides, she doesn't want to get married in this life, and it would be nice to have a child.
Children who grow up in a loving family will not reject children when they grow up, and may even be full of expectations for children.
But later on, the more she thought about it, the more worried she became. However, there was no one around her to talk to, so she could only hold on.
She thought she was strong.
But after seeing my father, a feeling of inexplicable grievance came to my mind.
She shouldn't feel wronged.
All decisions were made by her own and she should bear the consequences herself.
But she couldn't help it.
She was panicked when she heard her father coming.
But more importantly, it’s peace of mind.
Even if her father scolded her for being willful, she still had someone to back her up.
Xiao Yan listened quietly to his daughter's sobbing and regret. He did not interrupt her until she finished speaking, then he walked forward again.
He reached out his hand and gently wiped the tears from her face with his fingertips, which were calloused from years of holding weapons.
"Don't be afraid." His voice was still calm, but it carried unquestionable strength, as if he could hold up the entire shaky sky above San Ya's head.
"Dad is here."
"Now that Daddy is here, you don't have to be afraid of anything." He looked at her with a gaze as deep as the sea, and with each word, he made the most solemn promise. "I'm here with the Northwest Army, so there won't be any chaos. I'll take care of everything in the capital. Now, just focus on taking care of your pregnancy. Daddy will watch over you and won't let anyone disturb you, nor will he let anyone expose this matter."
San Ya nodded vigorously, tears streaming down her face.
She wiped her tears, a look of embarrassment on her face, "Dad, I don't usually cry."
Xiao Yan smiled, "I know. Don't I know what my daughter is like?"
"Dad! I've tried so hard to hold back my tears, and you're trying to make me cry again."
"Okay, no more talking. Are you hungry?"
"Go wash up, change your clothes and rest first. Don't think about showing off the results of your learning from my mother." San Ya smiled through her tears, regaining her former lively and lively self. "I'll have someone arrange accommodation for you."
"No need. I'll live next door to you so I can take care of you." Xiao Yan asked, "How long until the birth?"
"I, I actually don't know either..." San Ya lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Xiao Yan.
She has always been careless.
In the past, she led troops in battles, where the pressure was high and the conditions were harsh, which led to irregular menstruation.
So when San Ya didn’t have her period at the beginning, she didn’t take it seriously at all.
Later, she seemed to feel that something was wrong.
At first, her stomach felt like bubbles popping up, and she thought she had eaten too much and couldn't digest it.
Then the child kicked her directly...
Looking at her growing waist, San Ya belatedly realized that something was wrong.
After listening to what San Ya said, Xiao Yan felt both amused and angry.
"You mean, in the first few months of your pregnancy, you had no idea, and then you rode and exercised every day?"
Sanya: "...well, yes..."
She never fainted or vomited, and her appetite was excellent.
And until now, if she wears loose clothes, her belly is not so obvious.
Xiao Yan thought to himself, it is indeed the Liu family's child.
You must know that the current emperor was also the result of Emperor Renzong's successful attack.
Later, she was born and raised in the cold palace.
How many women in the harem died in the cold palace.
As a result, this guy not only survived, but also became the emperor.
The Liu family has something special.
The baby in San Ya's belly is strong and resilient, and may also be - shameless.
"I found out myself, but I didn't dare to see a doctor for fear of leaking the information. Mrs. Zhang outside was the one I saved before. She didn't know when I got pregnant, and she thought I was pregnant with someone in the army..."
Xiao Yan nodded and told Daya about his arrangements one by one.
After hearing her elder sister's idea, San Ya could only nod.
——If she were in the capital, what would she be afraid of?
Her family members can all give her advice.
"Dad, how is my eldest sister now? Has she given birth?"
Xiao Yan told her about the situation at home.
San Ya was worried that Er Ya would be jealous.
"If Second Sister knew you were here and didn't go to see her, wouldn't she be furious? Hehehe."
Seeing her heartless look, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
——He had seen many women who became tired and lost their original appearance after giving birth.
Fortunately, his San Ya is very generous.
Now that he is here, he cannot let her suffer in the future.
Xiao Yan rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.
San Ya also followed and leaned against the door to watch.
The kitchen was simple, but Xiao Yan was skillful. He took flour, added water, and kneaded the dough. His movements were still decisive and vigorous, a unique skill of a military commander.
The dough was kneaded and rolled out repeatedly in his hands, gradually becoming thin and even.
Sprinkle a layer of flour, fold and cut into strips. His movements are not very skilled, but he is extremely serious.
San Ya looked quietly at her father's focused profile, and a warm feeling filled her eyes.
At this moment, she was no longer the female general who dominated the northwest, but just her father's most beloved daughter.
