Upon hearing Yan Junting's words, Wu Chunlan's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She nodded and said, "I knew it. Our eldest son is the most filial and conscientious. In my heart, you are my own son, no different from Qiuting or Honglan."
After saying that, Wu Chunlan glanced at Yan Junting again, sighed, and said, "When I first found out about this, I was indeed angry that your father had kept it from me for so many years and treated me like an outsider. I even wanted to kill him back then, but now..."
Wu Chunlan had truly come to terms with it. She shook her head with a smile and said, "Besides, now that the whole family has come to Kyoto, we're living a good life. Why bother making a fuss about this? Let bygones be bygones and don't dwell on it."
"These past two days, Dad and I have actually discussed it and agreed that we will forget about this matter from now on and never mention it again for the rest of our lives."
“Unless, your father still has feelings for Ning Yue.” As she said this, Wu Chunlan gave Yan Gusheng a reproachful look.
Upon seeing this, Yan Gusheng immediately raised his hand and swore, "No, really no, I swear, after we get married, all I want is to live a good life with you, and I promise I will never have any other thoughts. As for Ning Yue..."
Yan Gusheng shook his head slightly and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Actually, since she left, I've also figured it out. Ning Yue and I were originally from two different worlds and could never be together. Back then, we were all too young and thought that feelings could solve everything."
“Ning Yue comes from a good family and is educated. She was born into a wealthy family. If she were to live a hard life with me, she might not be able to endure it.”
"Actually, compared to the feelings we had when we were young, the years we've spent together are the most precious and the ones I cherish the most."
These words sound like they were meant to appease Wu Chunlan, but they were actually quite honest, just like the things Ye Wenyue had said before.
To put it bluntly, two people from completely different backgrounds, especially in this era, might be attracted to each other for a moment of novelty, but they are unlikely to be happy together.
Upon hearing this, Wu Chunlan's eyes reddened slightly. She murmured, "Old man, if you had said this earlier, things wouldn't have come to this."
Yan Gusheng chuckled softly, "Is it not too late to say it now?"
"That's it," Wu Chunlan said, giving Yan Gusheng a reproachful look before smiling faintly. With that smile, she truly felt completely at peace.
In fact, Wu Chunlan has come to a realization these past few days.
Regardless of who was right or wrong, she didn't want to dwell on it anymore. Now that the family was finally doing well, why bother with the past and causing such a commotion?
In addition, Yan Gusheng has indeed treated her quite well over the years, and Yan Junting has been filial to her, so she has nothing to complain about.
Then, Yan Gusheng brought up Ning Yue again, "Duoduo, you just said that Ning Yue knows about Junting and even came to Kyoto to find him?"
"That's right, she doesn't know that Junting is her son yet, and she plans to go back to our hometown to find him." Yun Duoduo looked at Yan Junting and told him the truth.
After hearing this, Yan Gusheng didn't say much, but just looked at Wu Chunlan and said, "Mother of the child, what do you think about this? I'll listen to you."
Wu Chunlan thought for a moment, then looked at Yan Junting decisively and said, "Junting, as for whether or not you want to acknowledge your biological mother, it's up to you. If you do, your father and I have no objections. It's good to have another person who loves you."
Yan Gusheng nodded and continued Wu Chunlan's words, "Moreover, judging from what Duoduo said, it's not that your mother didn't want you back then; it's just that she didn't know you existed."
Yan Junting learned what had happened and consulted Wu Chunlan and Yan Gusheng, and he accepted the advice.
He nodded to Wu Chunlan and the other woman, "Okay, I will think about it carefully. Actually, at my age, whether or not I should acknowledge my biological mother is not that important. Besides, I have never lacked my mother's care."
Yan Junting's emotional intelligence was still on point at the crucial moment, which made Wu Chunlan very happy, and she felt that her efforts over the years had been rewarded.
She reached out and patted Yan Junting's arm, smiling happily.
Seeing this scene, Yun Duoduo smiled brightly; this was the scene she most wanted to see.
The family is harmonious and at peace, with no barriers between them.
Even if Yan Junting acknowledges Ning Yue as his mother, their family will simply have one more member; no one will be missing.
However, she was now considering whether she should tell Ye Wenyue and then inform Ning Yue, so that Ning Yue wouldn't have to go looking for people everywhere anymore.
Just as Yun Duoduo was about to make this suggestion, there was a knock on the ward door.
As the ward door was pushed open, Yun Duoduo and the others were greeted by a familiar face.
This person was none other than Ning Yue, whom they were discussing.
At the same time, Ning Yue was also surprised when she saw Yun Duoduo. "Duoduo, what are you doing here? You..." Ning Yue's words were cut short when she saw Yan Gusheng sitting on the bed. She was stunned.
Although the two had not seen each other for many years, they could still recognize each other at a glance.
The two looked at each other, then quickly looked away, a little awkward.
After many years apart, no one expected this kind of scene when they met again.
Seeing this, Yun Duoduo stepped in to ease the tension, deliberately reminding Ning Yue of her purpose in coming, "Aunt Ning, what brings you here..."
Although Yun Duoduo just told Li Yunfeng to go find Ning Yue, judging from Ning Yue's reaction, she probably hasn't met Li Yunfeng yet and has come looking for him on her own.
Sure enough, the next moment, Ning Yue glanced at the people in the room and tentatively asked Yun Duoduo, "Duoduo, what is your relationship with the Yan family?"
Yun Duoduo looked at Yan Gusheng but didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Ning Yue explained why she had come, "Gu Sheng, I know about the child. I originally planned to go back to the village to find you. I wanted to know how the child has been all these years?"
“I went to the nurses’ station to get my medicine and saw a name called Yan Gusheng in the nurses’ medical record. I asked around and my gut feeling was that it was you, so I came over.”
Yan Gusheng nodded silently, much calmer than when he saw Ning Yue before.
Then, Ning Yue didn't ask any other questions, only the crucial one, "Where is the child?"
Yan Gusheng remained silent, but his gaze shifted to Yan Junting to the side.
Ning Yue also realized what was happening, and her gaze shifted to Yan Junting, scrutinizing him carefully from head to toe.
Her eyes seemed to understand something; she was somewhat excited, but uncertain. So she still asked, "You, your name is Yan Junting, are you Duoduo's husband?"
Yan Junting hadn't expected to see Ning Yue so soon, and he wasn't prepared for it. He felt a little awkward and didn't know how to react.
Finally, Yan Gusheng spoke up, introducing the two of them: "His name is Junting, and he will be twenty-six after the New Year."
"Jun Ting, this is your biological mother."
