A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

"Huh? Go boating?"

"Yeah, he said he'd take Xiaoni'er, so let's go!"

"If you're going boating, isn't it a bit inappropriate to bring my son and me along?" Zhao Xuemei's eyes darted around uncertainly. "Why don't you all go as a family? It'll be a good opportunity to strengthen your bond..."

"What kind of relationship are you trying to cultivate? The child is already six years old, why are you still trying to cultivate a relationship?" An Ning said.

"But... that's not what your family's eyes said!"

An Ning followed Zhao Xuemei's gaze and looked at Song Wenyuan, just in time to see him turn around. This guy was secretly doing something behind her back!

"His opinion doesn't matter. The important thing is that he wants to take the kids. So, it's all about making the kids happy, isn't it?"

"But……"

"No buts, sister-in-law, don't you want to go boating? The weather is great now, and you can even fish on the boat. You might not have this opportunity again in the future."

Zhao Xuemei imagined the scene for a moment, and still couldn't help but nod: "Go!"

Having received a positive answer, Shen Changle happily dragged her Pengfei brother to pack their things. Zhao Xuemei also made up an excuse to go home, leaving Song Wenyuan with a bitter face, feeling like he had wasted his charms on a blind man.

He dawdled as he approached Anning: "We still need to contact the ship over there; it might be a few days before we can go."

"Oh? You should talk to Shen Changle about this, why are you telling me?"

"Anning, my wife..."

Song Wenyuan grabbed An Ning's hand. An Ning tried to pull away but couldn't, so she stared at him with dead fish eyes and asked, "Who's your wife?"

"I was wrong!" Song Wenyuan slid to his knees at lightning speed, holding An Ning's hand tightly. "I admit that I neglected you and your daughter in the past, causing you so much suffering at home. Later, when you came to the port, I happened to be on a mission. I didn't tell you because you didn't recognize me. Who would have thought that female agent would try to kidnap you? My heart was about to jump out of my chest."

Fortunately, you reacted quickly and helped me subdue her. At that moment, I truly regretted my past neglect of you and your daughter. So I contacted the troupe leader and asked him to help settle you both. I'll come back to see you both when I have free time.

"Ha!" An Ning sneered.

Seeing that An Ning didn't seem to resist, Song Wenyuan swore to the heavens, "Really, I didn't intend to hide it from you at first. I was on a mission, and if I acknowledged you as my wife, you and Ni'er would be in danger. Later, when the mission wasn't so dangerous anymore, and I wanted to be honest with you, I heard you say you wanted a divorce. How could I dare to say anything then?"

"You've already kept it a secret, so why are you suddenly showing up today? Weren't you planning to slowly boil me down? Are you smug about making a fool of me?"

“I really didn’t think that much about it, and I’m not smug. I’m just worried that you’ll be angry when you find out who I am. I know that you and Ni’er suffered a lot when I was away from the army, but now that I’m back, I can’t let you go through something like this again. No man could do that. So I stepped forward, even if you resent me or hate me because of this, I have to stand in front of you and Ni’er,” Song Wenyuan said earnestly.

Anning looked at him: "So you changed your attitude towards me and Nier just because of that one time on the ship? In the previous five years, didn't you ever think about what it would have been like for us, mother and daughter, to farm at home?"

Song Wenyuan stood there stiffly, somewhat hesitant to tell the truth, yet unwilling to lie.

Finally, he continued to admit his past mistakes: "To be honest, after that blind date, I asked you about your thoughts on marriage. You said you didn't mind staying home alone to raise the child. I thought we were a good match, so I submitted our marriage application, planning to settle down during my leave, have a child, and then my family wouldn't interfere with my work in the military anymore. I never expected… something happened later, and I didn't get any leave. I thought you had a job at the textile factory, and I sent money home every month and things back home from time to time, so your situation couldn't be too bad, but…"

Song Wenyuan's voice grew softer and softer. He had always known that his wife and daughters had suffered because of him, but when it came to actually facing it, it was so difficult.

He felt he had done his best to make amends, but the thought of the information the regimental commander had asked him to investigate still pained him.

“I’ve wronged you in the past, so I’m thinking of pursuing you again, letting you know the real me, and giving you another chance to choose. If you insist on divorcing me, don’t worry, I won’t bother you anymore, as long as you’re willing to let me see the children from time to time as ‘Chen Hai’.”

"If you start appearing as 'Chen Hai' from now on, what about the original Song Wenyuan?"

"Let her think I'm dead. Nier is a sensible child, and I don't want her to know she has such a terrible father..."

"You should save that for later and explain it to her yourself!" An Ning said.

"what?"

Song Wenyuan didn't react for a moment.

“I can’t bring myself to tell my child that you’re dead. If she finds out I lied to her later, I don’t have your experience to explain it to her.”

Extensive experience?

Explanation?

Song Wenyuan's eyes lit up more and more as he thought about it: "You forgive me?"

At this moment, his gaze almost overlapped with that of Shen Changle at certain times, except that his hair was shorter and his skin was darker, the two faces were almost identical.

“I didn’t.” Anning rolled her eyes. “Didn’t you say you were pursuing me again? I can reluctantly give you a chance. Of course, if you don’t want it…”

"Yes! Definitely! Just watch me!"

"Your performance? Are you referring to the couplets and lanterns outside the door? Or the things you delivered through Commander Li? Or the two thousand yuan that suddenly appeared on the windowsill?"

"You know it all?"

Song Wenyuan looked embarrassed. He had always thought he had kept it a good secret, but who would have thought...

"Even if you didn't know before, you know now."

I really don't know what Song Wenyuan was thinking. I can understand other things, but he actually put two thousand yuan directly on the windowsill.

Is she someone who's short of those two thousand yuan?

That two thousand yuan troubled her for a long time, and she was worried that it was stolen money that someone else had taken to frame her.

The result... well!

An Ning was determined that it would be impossible to satisfy Song Wenyuan in the short term.

However, there was one thing she was very satisfied with.

Song Wenyuan didn't seem to have much affection for the original owner of the body; all he felt was a sense of responsibility unique to this era. From the moment he fell in love with her, she had taken control of the body.

In this way, she no longer needs to worry about whether Song Wenyuan likes the original owner of this body or her, the imposter.

Although it's a bit unkind to think this way, and it's not fair to the original owner, how many fair things are there in the world?

All she could do was help the original owner get revenge for all the injustices she had suffered in the past.
