Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the curtains into Ji Yan's cozy bedroom, adding a touch of warmth to this quiet space. After several hours of rest, Ji Yan slowly opened her eyes, feeling the familiar and reassuring atmosphere around her, and a gentle smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

At this moment, there were rapid and crisp footsteps coming from outside the door, accompanied by childish but energetic shouts: "Mom! Mom!" It was Zheng Yuanhao's unique voice, which instantly softened Ji Yan's heart.

Ji Yan quickly looked towards the door and saw a petite figure approaching quickly. It was Zheng Yuanhao. His small body was filled with attachment and longing for his mother.

Ji Yan couldn't help but smile, with a gleam of maternal love in her eyes. She stretched out her hand to Zheng Yuanhao, waiting for the little one's hug.

"Mom!" Zheng Yuanhao finally ran to the bedside, his little face flushed from running, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He threw himself into Ji Yan's arms without hesitation, hugging her tightly, as if to convey all his thoughts and joy to his mother.

Ji Yan gently stroked Zheng Yuanhao's head and asked softly, "Baby, why are you here? Does Dad know?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuanhao's little face immediately fell, and he pouted as he began to complain aggrievedly: "Mom, you don't know, I wanted to see you earlier, but Dad always wouldn't let me come, saying that the hospital was too messy and he was afraid that I would get sick. But now that you're home, he still finds ways to stop me!" At this point, Zheng Yuanhao couldn't help but clench his little fists, looking a little angry.

Ji Yan listened to Zheng Yuanhao's complaints, feeling both amused and distressed. She gently patted Zheng Yuanhao on the back and comforted him softly, "Okay, okay, mom knows. I'll help you teach dad a lesson later, okay? But you also know that dad is worried about your health, so he did this."

When Zheng Yuanhao heard Ji Yan say that she would help him teach his father a lesson, a smug smile immediately appeared on his little face, but he soon became a little embarrassed.

He lowered his head shyly and said softly, "Mom is the best. I know Dad is doing this for my own good. But I just want to see you and my little brother (or sister) sooner."

Ji Yan felt warm at the sight of Zheng Yuanhao. She gently hugged this warm-hearted boy, feeling the love and trust he conveyed to her.

Inside the room, warm light shines through the gauze curtains and gently falls into every corner, adding a touch of softness and tranquility to this space that has just welcomed new life.

Ji Yan leaned against the head of the bed, looking tenderly at the crib beside her, where her newborn daughter lay, sound asleep.

Zheng Yuanhao stood beside the bed, his little face full of curiosity and excitement. He couldn't wait to meet this legendary "brother and sister".

As soon as he learned that his mother had woken up, he rushed in impatiently. At this moment, he was standing on tiptoe and looking around, trying to find the little figure.

Seeing this, Ji Yan raised a gentle smile and gently pushed the crib forward so that Zheng Yuanhao could see the baby inside more clearly.

"Yuanhao, look, your brother and sister are here." Her voice was soft and full of love.

Zheng Yuanhao quickly moved closer, and his eyes were instantly attracted by the cute little face. The baby's face was pink and tender, just like the most delicate petals in spring. She was sleeping soundly, and even her breathing seemed so gentle.

Zheng Yuanhao's heart was instantly melted. He opened his eyes wide, afraid to miss any details, but he didn't dare to make too loud noise for fear of disturbing the baby's dream.

At this moment, a miracle happened. The baby girl seemed to feel her brother's gaze and slowly opened her eyes.

At that moment, Zheng Yuanhao's breathing stopped. He saw a pair of clear blue eyes, looking at him curiously. Those eyes were like the brightest stars in the deep night sky, which surprised and shocked him.

"Mom...her eyes..." Zheng Yuanhao pointed at the baby, so excited that he couldn't even finish his words.

Ji Yan smiled and nodded, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Yes, Yuanhao, she is my sister, and she has beautiful blue eyes. She is the baby of Uncle Helian and me."

After hearing Ji Yan's words, Zheng Yuanhao's surprise instantly turned into joy. He no longer cared about the baby's background, he only knew that this little life was his dearest sister, who needed his care and love.

So he began to stretch out his hand gently and carefully, wanting to touch his sister's cheek, but was afraid of disturbing her, so in the end he just waved his little hand gently, trying to attract his sister's attention.

"Sister, I'm your brother! Look, I'm saying hello to you!"

Zheng Yuanhao's voice was full of innocence and joy, and his face was filled with a happy smile, as if the whole world had become better because of his sister.

The baby seemed to feel her brother's warmth and love. She waved her little hands gently, as if having a silent communication with her brother.

……

The manor was quiet, with only the occasional sound of footsteps breaking the silence. Zheng Haoqian stood in the middle of the living room, following Zheng Yuanhao's cheerful figure as he disappeared around the corner of the stairs, but another wave of emotions was surging in his heart.

The scenes in the hospital replayed in his mind, especially when Ji Yan mentioned Fu Jingyan, Lu Nanxu's hesitant look on his face made him unable to let it go.

Inside the study, the lighting was soft. Zheng Haoqian, Lu Nanxu, Xin Mujing and Helian Minxiao sat in a circle, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Zheng Haoqian coughed lightly and broke the silence: "Ah Xu, I remember that when you mentioned Ah Yan in the hospital, you seemed to be reserved. Can you tell me if there was anything you didn't finish saying at that time?"

Hearing this, Lu Nanxu's eyes dimmed slightly. He looked around at his friends and finally spoke slowly, "I did not mention something. That day, I took the time to visit the adjutant. His condition... was much more serious than we expected. But fortunately, his life is not in danger. As long as he is carefully nursed back to health, he should be able to recover in a few months."

Xin Mujing immediately became nervous when he heard this: "The adjutant is fine, but what about our Ah Yan? How is he?"

Lu Nanxu sighed and said in a low voice: "Ayan... he is missing. While on a mission, he was shot in the face in order to save his adjutant, and was also hit by an explosion. Now, we don't know where he is, and we don't know whether he is alive or dead."

Helian Minxiao stood up abruptly upon hearing this, extremely anxious: "What should we do now? We must find him as soon as possible!"

Xin Mujing quickly calmed down. After pondering for a moment, he proposed a solution: "Ayan's disappearance is undoubtedly a huge blow to the military region and is likely to cause unnecessary unrest. Axu, as the top leader, you must find a way to stabilize the morale of the troops and not let the situation get out of control."

Then, he turned to Helian Minxiao and said, "As for finding Ah Yan, we cannot rely solely on the military region's strength. Minxiao, you must mobilize all available resources and intensify the search to find Ah Yan's whereabouts."

Helian Minxiao and Lu Nanxu nodded in agreement.

At this time, Zheng Haoqian added: "There is one more thing we must pay special attention to. Yanyan just gave birth to a baby, and she is very fragile both physically and mentally. She must not be allowed to know about this. Once her emotions are stimulated, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lu Nanxu nodded, his expression solemn: "Ah Qian is right. Protecting Yanyan and the baby is also our current important task. Now, our primary goal is to find Jingyan and ensure the safety of Yanyan and the baby."

The four of them looked at each other again, with determination and resolve in their eyes.
