Gu Xiao clapped his hands again to attract the child’s attention.

“Chang’an, come. Let me carry you, okay? You can call me your dad.”

“Dad?” Chang’an looked at Gu Xiao in confusion. He did not understand what was going on.

Lu Haiying sniffed and smiled at Chang’an.

“Go ahead…”

Lu Haiying didn’t dictate how Gu Xiao should be addressed. She neither admitted nor denied it. This warmed Gu Xiao’s heart.

The child in Lu Haiying’s arms had already opened his arms and pounced on Gu Xiao. Chang’an allowed the hug.

Gu Xiao hurriedly caught the child. This child was only a little over a year old, and he was about the same size as Gu Xiao’s arm.

The child’s facial features were exactly the same as Lu Haiying’s. His small arms wrapped around Gu Xiao’s neck. He tilted his head and said, “Dad?”

“Yes, I’m your father.” Gu Xiao poked the child’s little face.

“Dad!” Chang’an laughed.

Hearing the child’s joyous voice, Gu Xiao extended his arms and lifted him up high before putting him down again. This was the most common interaction.

Children were easy to cheer up. Chang’an had never experienced such a high lift before. After experiencing it, he was pleasantly surprised. He giggled, and his laughter rang out like bells.

Lu Haiying’s eyes were filled with emotion.

Mr. and Mrs. Lu walked to her side and looked at the new ‘father and son’ duo. They said to Lu Haiying, “Yingying, we can see that Gu Xiao is sincere to you. He’s a good man who’s worthy of your trust. We’ll repay him slowly in the future. Don’t reject him, okay? It wasn’t easy for our family to reunite, so let’s leave it at that.”

Lu Haiying held her mother’s hand. “Dad and Mom, I know what I’m doing. I’ll have a good chat with Gu Xiao. Don’t worry.”

“Yes.” The Lu parents knew that their daughter was a cautious person. They thought that it was good for the two of them to talk alone, so they did not object.

Gu Xiao carried Chang’an all the way home. Children were forgetful and adaptable, and their kindness to others was apparent.

Very quickly, Chang’an became familiar with Gu Xiao. The child even relied on Gu Xiao very much.

When they got home, Lu Haiying fed Chang’an milk, and Chang’an fell asleep again.

Her back was facing Gu Xiao, but she also knew that Gu Xiao had been watching just now. In university, the two of them gave each other their first time.

Although they had been intimate for a long time, they hadn’t seen each other for so long.

Lu Haiying didn’t have to turn around to feel Gu Xiao’s passionate gaze. This realization made Lu Haiying’s face heat up. She covered Chang’an with the blanket and fixed her clothes before pulling out the chair beside her and sitting down.

Gu Xiao pulled the chair closer to her and held her hand.

Lu Haiying tried to pull her hand back, but tightly Gu Xiao held it. She was prevented from withdrawing. She then heard Gu Xiao say, “I didn’t protect you well. You have suffered for the past two years.”

Lu Haiying lowered her head and smiled bitterly. “It’s all in the past.”

“It’s all in the past, so let’s live well as a family in the future, alright?” Gu Xiao grabbed Lu Haiying’s hand. He had been looking for her for so long and had a lengthy deliberation. How could he be willing to let go of her again?

Lu Haiying was silent for a long time. “Will your parents agree?”

Gu Xiao had long thought of a way to deal with it.

“Just tell them that Chang’an is my child.” Gu Xiao’s parents were more traditional, and they really liked Lu Haiying back then. However, he could not guarantee that his parents would be able to accept Chang’an. Since that was the case, he might as well say that the child was his from the beginning.

In fact, before Lu Haiying went missing, she was already one month pregnant. At that time, he did not tell his parents because he did not want them to be more worried. Moreover, Chang’an and Lu Haiying looked exactly the same. The child’s age matched. Nevertheless, Chang’an was indeed two months younger. Growing up in a poor village, it was normal for a child to be malnourished. It was understandable for the child to look younger.

Lu Haiying was stunned when she heard the words.

Gu Xiao continued, “Since you disappeared while pregnant, Chang’an can’t be one year and two months old. He should be one year and four months old. Has Chang’an ever been registered?”

“No, he hasn’t been registered.” Lu Haiying shook her head. In that village, it was the older ones who helped. She didn’t have a birth permit, a household registration, or a vaccine. Other than herself, no one could accurately know the true date of birth of the child..
