Chapter 17 The Woman Who Came to See Shen Yan in the Middle of the Night

Because she was walking so fast, the beam of her flashlight swayed back and forth on the path, just like Ruan Jiaojiao's current mood—excited!

The man she fell for at first sight four years ago is back!

And he even held her wrist and led her away!

He was still as handsome as he was four years ago, and his physique had become much taller and stronger. If she could be with him... it wouldn't be a waste for her to have lived as a widow for four years!

Ruan Jiaojiao's face flushed as she drifted into her own fantasy. The next second, her hand was flung away. The man was very strong, and she staggered a few steps, crashing into a tree trunk, her shoulder aching from the impact.

"Ouch, that hurts!" She looked at Shen Yan pitifully with tears in her eyes. "Brother Shen Yan, you hurt me."

Shen Yan showed no pity whatsoever; the disgust on his face was almost tangible.

He wouldn't have touched her if he hadn't been afraid that Ruan Jiaojiao's screaming would wake the child!

"I told you to get out four years ago, how dare you still stay here!"

Four years ago, his wound ruptured and he was rushed back to Shanghai for treatment. He asked his teammates to help him pick up people from Shitou Village.

When he returned from the hospital full of joy, he saw Ruan Jiaojiao!

He then realized that his teammate had picked up the wrong person.

He confronted Ruan Jiaojiao, and then rushed back to Shitou Village to find Ruan Tinghe, only to find her talking about marriage with another man. Overwhelmed with grief, he accepted the mission to infiltrate the Red Gang as an undercover agent.

Having been undercover for four years, he only maintained secret contact with people in the military, so he was unaware that Ruan Jiaojiao was still at home.

It wasn't until the mission was over that Song Kaiyuan learned that this woman not only had the audacity to stay in the family compound, but had also given birth to a son and was presenting herself as his wife and child to outsiders!

No matter how much he denied it, Song Kaiyuan didn't believe him.

Four years ago, he submitted a marriage report to his superiors and had his teammates bring Ruan Jiaojiao back. Without explaining the truth to the public, he disappeared for four years.

Therefore, everyone in the family compound and the military unit unanimously believed that Ruan Jiaojiao was the woman he wanted to marry!

He's determined to solve this problem now that he's back!

Ruan Jiaojiao was frightened by his fierce appearance, and tears welled up in her eyes, making her look extremely pitiful.

With a sob in her voice, she said pitifully, "Brother Shen Yan, I..."

Shen Yan ignored her and strode towards the Shen family's residence.

Watching his heartless departure, Ruan Jiaojiao clenched her fingers tightly and gritted her teeth in secret.

"Shen Yan, it's no use hating me anymore. We've already had the child; you can only be my man!"

At the entrance of the Shen family home, Shen's mother, Qiao Xiaqing, held Shen Yaozu's hand and waited expectantly.

"Son!" As soon as Shen Yan appeared, Qiao Xiaqing ran over in surprise and checked him over thoroughly. She made sure he wasn't missing any limbs, only a horrible scar on his forehead, before she was relieved.

"You brat! Four years! Don't you know how to send a message home?" She slapped Shen Yan's arm, her voice choked with emotion. After hitting him, she rubbed it tenderly.

"Did Mom hit you too hard?"

Shen Yan put his arm around the person's shoulder and led them into the house.

"Ouch, the wound on my arm hasn't healed yet."

"What? You have an injury on your arm? Let me see!" Qiao Xiaqing panicked when she heard this, pressed Shen Yan down on the sofa, and was about to roll up his sleeve to check.

Shen Yan quickly stopped him, "No, I was just teasing you."

"If you don't believe me, let Mom see!"

Qiao Xiaqing's attitude was firm, and Shen Yan could only let him do as he pleased.

There were no new scars on my arm, but old scars crisscrossed over it.

Qiao Xiaqing was shocked by what she saw, but she couldn't blame Shen Yan because she knew that these scars were Shen Yan's responsibility and also his medals.

What soldier doesn't get injured?

In the end, it's good that you're back!

Four years ago, Shen Yan left without a word. The leaders in the army only said that he had gone to complete the mission assigned by the organization, but did not say what the mission was.

It kept her up at night, giving her nightmares, and she was terrified that one day she would hear bad news.

She turned her face away, secretly wiping away her tears. Seeing Shen Yaozu standing there dumbfounded, biting his fingers, she quickly beckoned him over.

"Yaozu, come here quickly and call me Dad."

Shen Yaozu, having been well-fed and plump, resembled a small mountain as he moved over, weakly calling out, "Dad."

"Son, this is the child Jiaojiao gave birth to for you, his name is Yaozu."

Shen Yaozu remembered his mother saying that he must please his father, because only when his father was happy could he and his mother eat and dress well in the Shen family.

So he reached out to grab Shen Yan's fingers, but Shen Yan suddenly raised his hand and dodged his touch.

Shen Yan didn't want to say anything unpleasant in front of the child, and he also didn't have the energy to deal with these upsetting things right now.

He yawned and got up. "Mom, let's talk about it tomorrow. I haven't slept for two days and two nights."

As she spoke, she deliberately lowered her head, shoving her dark circles under her eyes right in front of Qiao Xiaqing. "Look, your eyes are so dark they look like you've been punched. You don't want your son to embarrass himself in the family compound tomorrow with panda eyes, do you?"

"Pfft!" Qiao Xiaqing laughed at his antics. "You think you can be a panda? Go to sleep! But you can't disappear again this time. I have a lot of scores to settle with you for!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Shen Yan responded to his mother, yawned, and opened his bedroom door, only to find the room decorated in pink and tender colors, with women's and children's things everywhere. Clearly, his room had been taken over!

"Mom, what's going on?"

Shen Yan didn't think his mother would make the decision to let someone move into his room without his consent. His mother had always known that he hated it when others touched his things.

"Brother Shen Yan, please don't blame Mom. It was my decision to move into your room. If you want to hit or scold me, do it to me."

Before Qiao Xiaqing could speak, Ruan Jiaojiao, with red eyes, took all the blame upon herself.

Seeing how well-behaved and sensible she was, Qiao Xiaqing felt a pang of heartache and quickly began to explain.

"This isn't Jiaojiao's fault; it was my decision. When Yaozu first learned to speak, he cried and fussed for his father all day long, until his voice was hoarse. Since you weren't home, I had no choice but to let Jiaojiao and the child stay in your room. The child saw your things every day and slept in your bed, which stopped his crying."

Qiao Xiaqing knew that making a decision without Shen Yan's consent would definitely make Shen Yan very angry.

But she couldn't do anything about it. The child was so young then, just learning to speak, and kept asking her where his father was. He wanted his father.

At first, she could manage to talk her way out of it, but later she started crying and making a fuss every day, refusing to eat or drink, and even developed a high fever.

Having no other choice, she agreed to let them stay in Shen Yan's room at Ruan Jiaojiao's suggestion.

"Ah Yan, I know you and Jiao Jiao got together because of a mistake, but you're already having a child. Why don't you try to accept Jiao Jiao and Yao Zu?"

"Besides, you were the one who sent someone to bring her back four years ago. You can't just bring her back and then abandon her, can you?"

Qiao Xiaqing tried her best to persuade Shen Yan, but Shen Yan's expression grew increasingly grim, and his gaze towards Ruan Jiaojiao was filled with disdain.

"Four years ago, I told you that the child wasn't mine! We've never had any relationship!"

Shen Yan's face was cold. He had already given Ruan Jiaojiao face, but she didn't appreciate it. So he shouldn't blame him for tearing off the mask.

Ruan Jiaojiao turned pale with fright. Four years ago, when she found Shen Yan and confessed that she was pregnant with his child, he said the same thing.

They also told her to go back to where she came from.

But she was not willing to give up. After Shen Yan disappeared, she tried every means to stay and gave birth to Yao Zu. After four years of hard work, she was able to gain a foothold in the family compound as Shen Yan's wife.

She enjoyed four years of the good life of the rich, where she had no worries about food or clothing, and was flattered by the women in the family compound every day. She absolutely never wanted to go back to being a village girl!

She's determined to be Shen Yan's wife!

It doesn't matter if Shen Yan doesn't admit it. Four years have passed anyway. Who can prove that the child isn't Shen Yan's?

Moreover, as long as the Shen family admits it, and the people in the family compound admit it, that's enough.

"Mom, forget it, I'll just take the child and leave."
