Chapter 137 The child looks like Huo Yanchuan, it can't be hidden anymore.
Wenrou, of course, knew Zhou Dayong's personality and knew that he would not give up such an opportunity to make a contribution.
Hearing Huo Yanchuan say that, he didn't say anything more.
However, just as they expected, the next day the higher-ups agreed to Zhou Dayong's request and allowed him to participate in the mission as well.
Zhou Dayong couldn't wait to pack his luggage and set off.
Before leaving, he made sure to assure Shen Qingshuang, "Qingshuang, wait for me at home. I'll definitely earn you a military merit this time."
Although Shen Qingshuang hadn't fully forgiven Zhou Dayong because of the previous miscarriage, she still felt terrible seeing him leave.
"Dayong, I believe in you. Please come back soon."
Shen Qingshuang held Zhou Dayong's hand, reluctant to let him leave.
Zhou Dayong was the only person left for her there, and she didn't want him to leave her.
Zhou Dayong was only thinking about making a contribution, and seeing Shen Qingshuang crying like this, he was getting a little impatient.
"Alright, I'm leaving now. You should go back too." Zhou Dayong said, then picked up his luggage, turned around, and got into the car.
At this moment, Hao Gang also released Peng Xiaowan.
"Wife, wait for me to come back." Hao Gang held Peng Xiaowan's hand, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Peng Xiaowan's eyes welled up with tears, and she nodded at him. "I'll wait for you."
Even though she was very reluctant, she had no choice but to watch him leave.
The environment they were transferred to this time was even harsher than here, but having lived in such an environment for so long, they had long since gotten used to it.
The General Military Region sent them to build up the Gobi Desert in Northwest China; that was their mission.
No matter how bad the environment is, they have to persevere.
Originally, Huo Yanchuan was supposed to lead the team, but there were just too many people who signed up, so the higher-ups had no choice but to keep him there instead.
After watching Hao Gang get into the car, Peng Xiaowan turned around, and finally couldn't hold back her tears.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qingshuang scoffed. Someone like Hao Gang, who thought he could compete with her Dayong, didn't he even consider his own abilities?
Peng Xiaowan sensed Shen Qingshuang's hostility and looked in her direction, only to receive a glare from Shen Qingshuang.
She wiped away her tears, ignored Shen Qingshuang, and turned to go home.
Wenrou was sitting by the door comforting the two children when she saw Shen Qingshuang walk in with red eyes. She asked with concern, "Hao Gang is gone?"
Peng Xiaowan nodded and walked towards her.
"Don't worry too much, he'll be back once he finishes his mission there," Wenrou comforted him.
"Well, I'm just a little reluctant to part with it," Peng Xiaowan said, somewhat embarrassed.
Wenrou could understand them; after all, the young couple had only been married a short time and now they had to separate, which would be hard for anyone to bear.
"If you're ever alone and have nothing to do, you can come over and talk to me. That way, you won't overthink things, and the days will pass by faster."
Peng Xiaowan nodded, feeling much better after being gently comforted.
"Little Yunshu, come to Auntie for a hug." She smiled and reached out to the child in her gentle arms.
The child also liked Peng Xiaowan and stretched out both of his little hands towards her.
"Xiaorou, this child is so well-behaved and adorable." Peng Xiaowan held her sweet and soft daughter and kept praising her.
"The older one is more well-behaved, the younger one is more mischievous," Wenrou said with a smile as she looked at Xiaoyunshu.
"These two children are looking more and more like Huo Tuan now, but they are also different, each with their own characteristics. However, they will definitely be little beauties when they grow up." Peng Xiaowan also noticed that when the two children were born, they looked more like Huo Yanchuan, but now they look even more like him.
"The doctor said they are fraternal twins, so they don't look alike."
When Wenrou thought back to her past life, she realized that the two children had left her just as she learned of their existence.
Watching them grow up day by day, she sometimes feels like she's dreaming.
She dreamt that everything she experienced in her past life was just a dream, and that her two children had never actually left her.
Wenrou and Peng Xiaowan were chatting about who their two children resembled when they heard laughter coming from the side.
"Oh dear, that's ridiculous. No matter how these two children grow up, they could never look like Huo Yanchuan. They have absolutely no relation to him. I wonder whose bastard they are?"
Hearing the sound, Peng Xiaowan looked behind her and saw Shen Qingshuang standing not far from them.
Beside her were Aunt Feng and Sun Mei, who were talking about something. They were looking over at her, covering their mouths and laughing at Wenrou and the others.
"Qing Shuang, I heard about this when I came here. I thought it was just a rumor. I didn't expect it to be true?" Sun Mei asked with a gossipy look as soon as she heard about it.
Although Aunt Feng didn't say anything, her eyes were fixed on Wenrou, and there was a disdainful smile in her eyes.
"Oh dear, this also shows that she has the ability to seduce men. We couldn't do these things. Look, Commander Huo is so good to those two children. He even had a lot of wood moved over just now, saying he's making some kind of crib for them."
"What crib? No kid in our compound is as precious as them. They're just two little girls, not boys. What have they done to Commander Huo?"
Aunt Feng and Sun Mei already had a problem with Wenrou, and now that they heard about this, they looked even more disdainful and disgusted.
No matter what, they wouldn't do something like getting pregnant out of wedlock to seduce a man, especially since this gentle woman already has a child.
"What are you saying? Yun Shu and Yun Yao are Commander Huo's biological children. Aren't you afraid of your mouths rotting from spreading such rumors?" Peng Xiaowan stood up and scolded them when she heard them say such things.
She didn't know what had happened to Wenrou before, but she trusted Wenrou's character. Besides, anyone who saw the two children would say they looked like Huo Yanchuan.
Who exactly is spreading this rumor?
"Xiao Wan." Wenrou reached out and pulled Peng Xiao Wan down to sit.
"Xiao Rou, why aren't you angry?" Peng Xiaowan couldn't help but ask when she saw that Rou Rou's face was very calm and there was no change.
Wenrou found it amusing. "Why get angry? People can say whatever they want, and we can't control what they say. The reason they believe these rumors is just because they're jealous of me. Instead of wasting time arguing with them, we should spend more time with the two children."
She had long since gotten used to it. In the past, she would have settled accounts with them, but now she felt there was no need.
Since they've already decided the two children aren't Huo Yanchuan's, the better Huo Yanchuan treats the children, the more infuriated they'll be.
Huo Yanchuan was making a crib for his daughter at home, which he had seen on TV by chance.
Now that the child is growing up day by day, there's no room left in the bed.
Most importantly, with his two children blocking his way every night, how can he be intimate with his wife?
So he came up with a plan to make two cribs for them, so that they would not only have their own place to sleep, but also not disturb him and Wenrou.
"What rumors? This is the truth. Wenrou, can you swear that these two children are really Huo Yanchuan's?" Shen Qingshuang felt uncomfortable seeing Wenrou like this.
She was a worthless woman before marrying Huo Yanchuan, but now, thanks to her two children, she and Huo Yanchuan are living a happier and happier life.
She had always been puzzled as to how the Huo family had accepted the two children.
She used to have Huo Tingting as an assistant, but now even Huo Tingting has been kicked out of the Huo family and their relationship has been severed. What exactly happened?
Ever since she miscarried her child with Zhou Dayong, she has been driven mad with jealousy every day as she sees how much Huo Yanchuan loves and is gentle with his two children.
Why is it that her child is gone, while Wenrou and that other man's child receives so much love?
She is not reconciled.
She looked gently at Shen Qingshuang and sneered, "Why should I swear an oath?"
"What oath?" Just then, Huo Yanchuan came out, holding his little daughter in his arms.
He had just stepped out when he heard Wenrou say something about making a vow, so he casually asked her about it.
Wenrou took her newly awakened daughter from Huo Yanchuan's arms, then looked in the direction of Shen Qingshuang and the others, and said to Huo Yanchuan, "They say my child isn't yours. Such rumors are easy to spread. Commander Huo, what do you think we should do?"
Wenrou threw the question to Huo Yanchuan. If this man hadn't kept it from her all along, she wouldn't have found out about it so late.
In the past, upon hearing these words, she would have felt that she had tarnished Huo Yanchuan's reputation.
But now, the identities of the two daughters have been revealed. They are not the children of some random man; their biological father is Huo Yanchuan.
"How interesting. My daughter isn't mine, so whose is she? Tell me! Since you're all so free, shall I have the government find you something to do tomorrow?"
Huo Yanchuan looked at Aunt Feng and Shen Qingshuang and the others with a frighteningly cold gaze.
Everyone knew Huo Yanchuan's temper, and none of them dared to provoke him again.
Aunt Feng and Sun Mei gave Shen Qingshuang a wink and quickly left as well.
However, when Sun Mei walked to Peng Xiaowan's side, she glanced at the child in Peng Xiaowan's arms.
That little girl really does look exactly like Peng Xiaowan described; she's practically a carbon copy of Huo Yanchuan.
She wouldn't believe it if you told her they weren't Huo Yanchuan's daughters.
"Auntie, those two children really do look like Commander Huo. Qing Shuang is going too far. Her husband doesn't get along with Commander Huo, and she's trying to drag us into this?"
Upon hearing Sun Mei's words, Aunt Feng's expression changed slightly.
"You're not mistaken, are you? Those two children really look like Commander Huo? And why is Qing Shuang so certain that the children aren't his?"
"What else could it be? I heard her husband was engaged to Huo Tuan's wife before, but then changed his mind and married her instead. Now their lives are a complete mess. Aren't you jealous of Huo Tuan and his wife?"
"You're right. Then we should try to get less involved in their affairs from now on."
Shen Qingshuang certainly didn't believe Huo Yanchuan's words. Zhou Dayong had told her personally that Wenrou was pregnant with a spy's child, so how could it now be Huo Yanchuan's child?
But she knew Huo Yanchuan. Even though he had said he would accept the child in Wenrou's belly, given his personality, if it wasn't his child, he definitely wouldn't even glance at it. He would only give them a title.
But now, everyone can see how much she dotes on those two children.
She had to find out what was going on.
The next day, the crib that Huo Yanchuan made for the child was finally finished.
He also installed wheels on the crib, so that no matter what Wenrou was doing, she could push the two children to her side, making it much easier to see them.
"I never expected you to be so skillful. This crib is very well made," she said gently, praising him.
Huo Yanchuan was praised by his wife, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"That's because... there are many things your man can do; you'll find out later."
After finishing the crib, Huo Yanchuan returned to his unit.
Wenrou was initially a bit overwhelmed taking care of two children by herself at home, but she gradually got used to it and found it much better.
Fortunately, Peng Xiaowan comes to help from time to time, which makes her feel much more relaxed.
"By the way, Xiaorou, I heard that Shen Qingshuang went back to Zhou Dayong's hometown yesterday. What is she planning to do now?" Peng Xiaowan told Wenrou the news she had heard.
Wenrou knew, of course, that the news that her two daughters looked like Huo Yanchuan had spread throughout the compound in the past two days. In addition, Wenrou often carried the children around her own front door, so many people had seen the two children's appearance.
Shen Qingshuang saw it too, and she couldn't believe that the two children really looked a lot like Huo Yanchuan.
Even after seeing it with her own eyes, she still couldn't believe that the two children were really Huo Yanchuan's.
She had to find out the truth, otherwise she would dream about it every night.
She chose to marry Zhou Dayong because Huo Yanchuan broke off their engagement and he was unable to have children.
But now she's being told that Huo Yanchuan has a child. How can she accept that?
If those two children really are his, then it means he is fertile. So why did he lie to me in the first place?
To get to the bottom of this matter, she had to go back to Zhou Dayong's hometown and ask him directly.
"Don't worry about her," Wenrou said to Peng Xiaowan, looking at the child in her arms.
However, thinking about going home, she hasn't taken her two children back to visit them since they were born.
The last time her eldest brother wrote, he told her that there was news about her second brother.
Since Liu Xiaoyu took over the household management, the family's life has become better and better.
After her older brother and his family learned that she had given birth, they originally wanted to come and see her, but their sister-in-law, Liu Xiaoyu, was also pregnant.
Her family is busy taking care of her now, so they don't have time to come and see her.
Wenrou wanted to wait until the two children were a little older and Huo Yanchuan had time, then she would take them back to visit and ask about her second brother. He had been gone for so many years and it was hard to get any news from him, so the family was very worried.
