Anran shook her head and looked at him with a cold expression. &Quot; you’re nothing to me! If people only acknowledge blood relations and the test report, and not family ties or gratitude, that would be too sad!”

Hearing this, Tong Wenhai was a little anxious. He quickly took Anran’s hand and said with some urgency, ” &Quot; Ranran, it’s not like that. I’m your biological father after all. You won’t disown me, right? ”

Anran shook off his hand, looked at him, and said word by word, ” “Don’t call me that. It only makes me feel disgusted!”

“You ...”

Pushing away su Yicheng’s arms, Anran interrogated him step by step, staring straight at him and saying, ” &Quot; you acknowledge me. Hehe, you just want me to plead with Yicheng on your behalf so that he will help you get through this difficult time on my account. If not for this, you would not have told anyone about my background for the rest of your life because you are afraid. You are afraid that I will ruin everything you have now! &Quot;

&Quot; I ... &Quot; Tong Wenhai could only retreat step by step. He had no way of refuting her question. Yes, Anran was right. If it weren’t for this incident, he would never have revealed that Anran was his biological daughter. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to destroy Lin xiaofen’s current family or anything, but he didn’t want to destroy his current family because of Anran. If Chen Hui found out that he had a daughter this old, it would be strange if his family wasn’t torn apart. However, he couldn’t care so much now. Someone from the top had already come to find him in the morning, but he had managed to fool them. They would probably come again tomorrow or the day after. If he didn’t think of a way, he would really be dead, and the only person who could help him was su Yicheng.

In fact, he didn’t want things to end up like this, so he went to Lin xiaofen, hoping that she could come forward and persuade Anran to let Anran speak to him in front of su Yicheng, so that he could find a way to help him. However, Lin xiaofen refused without any room for negotiation, and even asked him not to go to Anran again. That was why he had no choice but to come to Anran directly. After all, they were blood-related, and after a few interactions, he could tell that Anran had a gentle personality. If she knew that he was her biological father, she would definitely help him. He just didn’t expect things to turn out like this ...

“Do you really think I don’t feel anything? Every time mom sees you like this, and the last time you came to teach me a lesson, do you really think I don’t feel anything strange?” As she spoke, Anran’s emotions were a little agitated. &Quot; I’m not as stupid as you think. I just don’t want to say it, I don’t want to admit it, I just don’t want to admit that I’m not dad’s biological daughter! “I don’t care who my biological father is. Whether it’s you, Tong Wenhai, Zhang Wenhai, or Li Wenhai, it’s all good. I don’t care about that at all. I only regret that I’m not Gu Hengwen’s biological daughter!” I only want to be Gu Hengwen’s daughter in this lifetime!”

“Ran ran!” Gu Hengwen, who was holding Lin xiaofen on the side, was a little touched. His originally red eyes finally couldn’t help but shed tears. However, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He looked straight at Anran and said in an extremely firm tone, ” &Quot; Ranran, you will always be my daughter! &Quot; From the moment he had reached out to take the little doll into his arms, he had told himself that regardless of whether this child would find out about his identity in the future or whether this child would acknowledge him in the future, he would always treat her as his own daughter. He would give her the fatherly love that she was supposed to have, love her, and protect her for the rest of her life!

Anran looked at him and could no longer control her tears. &Quot; dad! &Quot; She reached out to cover her mouth and sobbed.

Gu Hengwen let go of Lin xiaofen and walked over to Anran. He reached out and pulled Anran into his arms, hugging her tightly.

Lin xiaofen sat on the ground and looked at her parents who were hugging each other in front of her. Her tears couldn’t stop flowing. However, the tears at this moment were different from the ones just now. They were filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Looking at this scene, Tong Wenhai became a little anxious. He didn’t care about his attitude and tone anymore. He angrily shouted at Anran, ” &Quot; Gu Anran, I’m your father. If you don’t acknowledge me, that’s treasonous! &Quot; As he said that, he turned to Lin xiaofen and roared, ” “Lin xiaofen, is this how you teach your daughter? I’ve taught her to be so unfilial that she doesn’t even recognize me as her father!”

......

Lin xiaofen wiped her tears and turned to look at him. Then, she slowly stood up from the ground and asked in a soft and indifferent voice, ” “Who Do You Think You Are? Why would my daughter want to acknowledge you?” As she said that, she looked into his eyes and suddenly became stern again. She said sternly, ” &Quot; I’m telling you, Tong Wenhai, an ran’s surname will always be Gu. She has nothing to do with your Tong family. Don’t even think about using her to achieve your dirty thoughts! &Quot;

“You, you’re all crazy!” Tong Wenhai couldn’t understand. He thought that blood ties were more important than anything else. Why didn’t she acknowledge him or help him when he was Anran’s biological father?

Su Yicheng looked at him coldly, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed the security room’s number. He only said that there was an unknown person in the house and asked them to take the person out.

Tong Wenhai still wanted to put up a final struggle, but no one was willing to listen to a single word he said. He was like a clown, gesturing excitedly. In the end, the security guards in the security room carried him out. As he was brought out, he kept shouting, ” I’m Anran’s father, I’m Anran’s father ... &Quot;

Anran was a little tired from crying. In the end, she cried and fell asleep on Gu Hengwen’s body.

Seeing this, su Yicheng stepped forward and wanted to carry Anran back to her room, but he was blocked by Gu Hengwen. Gu wenheng strenuously picked up the unconscious Anran by her waist. Then, although he walked unsteadily, he did his best to carry Anran to the master bedroom and lay her down on the bed.

He sat by the bed and looked at her tightly closed eyes. There were still traces of tears on her cheeks. He reached out and gently wiped them away for her. He sat by the bed and looked at her for a long time before leaving the room. Looking at Lin xiaofen, he couldn’t help but be excited. &Quot; Anran is my daughter, my biological daughter! &Quot; Regardless of whether they were blood-related or not, he and an ran were father and daughter, father and daughter for life!

“Yes.” Lin xiaofen looked at him as he nodded his head heavily. She was smiling with tears flowing down her face.

Anran was too hungry and excited today. Su Yicheng and Lin xiaofen were still a little worried, so they directly called the doctor to come to their house and give Anran a simple examination. Only after making sure that Anran and the baby in her stomach were fine did they feel relieved.

Anran was really tired today. She slept for several hours and didn’t wake up. Su Yicheng asked Lin xiaofen and Gu Hengwen to stay, but Gu Hengwen refused. He said that he would take Anran home tomorrow, and then he and Lin xiaofen would talk about this matter clearly, about what happened that year, and about Anran’s past.

Su Yicheng nodded and didn’t force them to stay. He knew that they needed time to digest everything that had happened today and think about how to tell Anran about what happened in the past tomorrow. He didn’t ask them to stay, but su Yicheng insisted on driving them home.

When they arrived at the door, su Yicheng sincerely said to Gu Hengwen, ” “Dad, thank you!” Thank you for his selfless fatherly love. It was because of him that an ran could be who she was today, and that there was someone he could cherish for the rest of his life!

Gu Hengwen looked at him for a while and said, ” “Don’t you dare bully my daughter in the future!” The word ‘daughter’ was especially emphasized, as if it was a declaration.

Su Yicheng nodded heavily. &Quot; I’ll love her for the rest of my life! &Quot;

Gu wenheng looked at him, smiled, and nodded. He didn’t say anything more and turned to enter the house.

When su Yicheng returned, Anran was still asleep. Due to today’s special circumstances, su Yicheng had asked Auntie Zhang to stay behind to take care of her.

When su Yicheng pushed open the door and entered, aunt Zhang was wiping the sweat off Anran’s forehead with a towel.

“Still not awake?” Su Yicheng asked as he looked at Anran on the bed. She was frowning deeply, as if she was dreaming.

“He’s not awake yet.” Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said,”he seemed to be having a nightmare and talking in his sleep.” I saw a lot of cold sweat on her forehead, and I was afraid that she would catch a cold tomorrow, so I got some water for her to wipe it off.”

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng frowned a little worriedly and reached out to take the towel from aunt Zhang’s hand. He only said, ” “I’ll do it.”

Mrs. Zhang didn’t say much and stood up to give him her seat.

Su Yicheng sat down on the edge of the bed, wrung the towel in the basin, and then carefully wiped Anran. &Quot; Mrs. Zhang, please make some porridge, ” he said to Mrs. Zhang, who was standing behind him. &Quot; Anran can have it when she wakes up. &Quot; After sleeping for such a long time, he would definitely be hungry when he woke up.

“Eh, alright.” Aunt Zhang quickly nodded and then quietly left the room.

Just as Mrs. Zhang said, Anran seemed to have slept very uncomfortably. Her brows were furrowed deeply, and her head trembled slightly, as if she was dreaming of something. She muttered softly, ” dad ... You, go away. You’re not my dad. Gu Hengwen is my dad ... I only have one dad, and he will always be my dad ... &Quot; as she spoke, she waved her hands as if she was chasing something away.

He reached out to grab her hand so that she wouldn’t accidentally hit him. Su Yicheng sighed softly with a little heartache, then pulled her hand to his mouth and kissed it. &Quot; it’s okay, it’s okay, ” she said softly. &Quot; you’ll always be Gu Hengwen’s daughter. You’ll always be. Don’t be afraid, don’t worry. &Quot;

An ran seemed to be able to hear him in her sleep, and she slowly calmed down. After she had calmed down, su Yicheng gently wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, then sat next to her and looked at her for a long time before he slowly put her hand down, covered her with the blanket, and left the room.

When he returned to the study room and saw the unfinished work on the desk, su Yicheng reached out and pinched his sore eyebrows. Instead of returning to the desk and sitting down, he stood in front of the window of the study room with his phone in hand. He looked at the dark night sky, where there were no stars or Cold Moon, and stared at his phone for a long time before he directly called Yan Li.

Anran slept for a very long time, nearly 10 hours. She didn’t open her eyes until two in the morning. As soon as she moved, the man next to her woke up and turned on the light at the head of the bed. Because he was afraid that it would be too bright, he had carefully dimmed the light so that she wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.

Anran frowned and massaged her throbbing temples, her eyes still half-open.

&Quot; Anran ... &Quot; su Yicheng gently called her name in her ear. He spoke in a low voice, afraid that he would scare her if he spoke too loudly.

After a long while, Anran finally opened her eyes and turned to look at him. Perhaps it was because she had cried too hard today, but her temples were still aching.

Su Yicheng seemed to have noticed her discomfort, so he sat up, pulled down her hand, and used his own hand to replace hers. He gently placed his hand on her temple and slowly massaged it, then asked softly, ” “Are you feeling better?”

“Yes.” An ran nodded and closed her eyes again.

Su Yicheng massaged her for a long time before Anran reached out to pull his hand down. She only said, ” “Alright, it doesn’t hurt that much anymore.” As she said that, she tried to sit up.

Su Yicheng helped her sit up, his hand around her neck, letting her rest on his chest. His hand patted her gently, occasionally, without any pattern. Then, he whispered in her ear, ” &Quot; are you hungry? I asked Auntie Zhang to cook some porridge and keep it warm. It’s still hot. Why don’t I order some for you? ”

In his arms, Anran shook her head and said, ” “I’m not hungry.”

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng didn’t say anything or force her to do anything, but he still patted her gently.

She didn’t know how long she sat like this, but an ran finally opened her mouth and asked, ” “Where’s mom and dad?” She was referring to Lin xiaofen and Gu Hengwen.

“He’s already gone back,” Su Yicheng said softly as he lowered his head and kissed the center of her hair. After a long while, he said, ” “Dad wants us to go home tomorrow night.”

Anran didn’t say anything for a while and let him hold her. After a long time, she gently nodded in his arms and said, ” “Yes.” The arms around his body tightened.

The two of them hugged each other in silence, and neither of them spoke. They sat there for a long time, so long that su Yicheng thought she was sleeping in his arms again. He looked down at her and saw that her eyes were still open, and she was staring straight at the curtains in the room, but her eyes were not focused.

He reached out and touched her head, asking softly, ” “Anran, do you want to sleep for a while?”

There was no response. Su Yicheng thought she didn’t hear him, so he whispered in her ear again, ” Anran? ”

The person in his arms seemed to have finally reacted. She shook her head but did not speak.

She didn’t want to sleep with su Yicheng, but he didn’t force her either. They just sat there silently, holding her in their arms.

Su Yicheng didn’t know how much time had passed, but just when he thought they were going to sit there and wait for dawn, Anran, who was in his arms, finally opened her mouth and said, ” &Quot; one day, when I came home, I saw my mother staring at an old photo in a daze. I didn’t even notice when I went back. I saw the man in the photo. He was very young and wore a white shirt. That photo should be from more than 30 years ago. I saw that the photo had turned yellow. &Quot;

Su Yicheng didn’t say anything and just quietly hugged her, but the strength of his hug was a little tighter than before.

Anran continued, ” there was one time when I was walking on the street, and I happened to see her and Tong Wenhai pulling and arguing on the street. When she saw me coming over, her expression was very panicked, as if she was afraid of something. She took my hand and got into a taxi, and she repeatedly warned me not to associate with Tong Wenhai. At that time, I didn’t know what her relationship with Tong Wenhai was, but I could vaguely guess that their relationship wasn’t that simple. &Quot;

&Quot; after that, mom fainted and was hospitalized. One afternoon, I went to see her but I overheard her conversation with dad at the door of the ward. Only then did I know that I wasn’t dad’s biological daughter. It was just that at that time, I didn’t know who the person they were talking about was. Until the last time Tong Wenhai came to find me and told me not to interfere with Tong Xiaojie and Mo Fei’s marriage. I rebutted and criticized him. Later, mom was very agitated because of my private meeting with Tong Wenhai. At that time, I was sure. It’s confirmed that Tong Wenhai is the person they’re talking about.” As she said this, her hands around su Yicheng’s waist tightened, and she seemed to be a little agitated.

Su Yicheng could feel the excitement of the person in his arms and her slight trembling, so he quickly patted her back and said, ” “Alright, alright, let’s not talk about it anymore.” His hand gently patted her back.

In his arms, an ran gradually began to cry and asked, ” “Tell me, tell me, how can he be so shameless? How could he have the nerve to ask me to acknowledge him?” He had not done anything for her, and he had even accused her without distinguishing right from wrong. How could he be so shameless?

“It’s okay, it’s okay. He has nothing to do with us. It’s fine as long as we don’t miss him.” Su Yicheng comforted her and hugged her even tighter.

Anran wiped her tears, and her emotions slowly calmed down. She nodded and said, ” &Quot; yes, he has nothing to do with me. He was, he is, and he will be in the future. He’s not even a stranger to me. &Quot;

Su Yicheng nodded and echoed her, ” “Well, not even a stranger.” As he spoke, he gently let go of her and wiped the tears on her face with his fingers.

However, Anran still couldn’t help but want to cry. Her tears couldn’t be wiped away, and they fell from her eyes in strings. Seeing this, su Yicheng could only sigh softly and lean forward to kiss away the tears on her face. “It’s alright, it’s alright ...” He muttered.

Anran allowed him to kiss her, and she slowly calmed down as he kissed her. She nodded and replied, ” yes. &Quot;

After kissing her for a while and making sure that her tears had stopped falling, su Yicheng finally let her go. Looking at her eyes and nose that were slightly red from crying, he couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss her eyes again. He was very loving and tender. After a long time, he let go of her and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly.

Anran also hugged him tightly.

The two of them held each other in silence for a while before su Yicheng’s hand slowly moved from her back to her front. His hand gently covered her lower abdomen, slowly caressing it back and forth. &Quot; the doctor said that mothers-to-be should be happy, ” she said softly. &Quot; they can’t cry all day. It’s not good for the baby. &Quot;

Anran nodded heavily. &Quot; yes, yes. &Quot; She withdrew from his arms and lowered her head to look at her belly. Now, her belly was clearly visible and slightly bulging. When she went to the prenatal examination, the doctor had told her that the baby was very healthy and everything was fine. As she lay there and listened to the baby’s heartbeat, she felt an indescribable feeling of gratitude. She slowly placed her hand on the baby. Although she could not feel any fetal movement, she seemed to be able to feel that the baby in her stomach was one with her. It felt so close and so intimate.

Su Yicheng reached out and covered her hand, then turned her around. He hugged her from behind and gently shook her without saying anything.

Because he was worried about Anran being alone at home and having her mind run wild, su Yicheng didn’t go to the office the next day. Instead, he asked Secretary Zheng to drop by and take away some urgent official documents, as well as to have him send today’s work to his house. Secretary Zheng could see the fatigue and haggardness on his face, so he couldn’t help but ask with concern, ” “Deputy Mayor, did something happen at home?”

Su Yicheng looked down at the document in his hand, shook his head, and simply said, ” “It’s nothing,” After skimming through it, she raised her head and asked, ” “How’s the progress of the demolition project in the north of the city?”

&Quot; there’s still a stalemate, but the villagers promised that the demolition money was reasonable, so they will definitely cooperate with us. &Quot; Secretary Zheng said.

Su Yicheng nodded and didn’t say anything.

Before he left, Secretary Zheng suddenly remembered something. He looked at the empty corridor, then whispered to su Yicheng, ” &Quot; I heard that team leader Yan went to talk to Tong Wenhai. &Quot;

Su Yicheng glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and nodded without saying anything.

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Secretary Zheng didn’t say anything more and left with the official documents.

In the evening, su Yicheng drove Anran back to the Gu house. In the car, Anran was still a little uneasy, and her hands were tightly intertwined on her legs.

Su Yicheng glanced at her with a faint smile, and when they reached a red light, he freed his hand to hold her hand. He only smiled at her lightly and didn’t say anything.

Perhaps his hand was too warm, but with him holding it, Anran slowly forgot her nervousness and fear.
