After a while, Ye Chien asked suspiciously, "Why haven't we written to each other in the past four years?"
"That's because our country's missile and satellite research was carried out in secret on a 'zero-foundation' basis. In order to keep it a secret, all the scientists involved in the research were not allowed to leave the research base easily. They were also not allowed to contact their families casually and lived in isolation from the rest of the world." Xia Jinyuan answered Ye Chien in a deep voice and full of respect, "It's normal that you haven't written to your family in the past four years."
Ye Chien was filled with deep veneration when he heard this.
Li Jinnian knew that Xia Jinyuan was speaking up for him, so he nodded slightly to express his gratitude. "Grandfather and grandmother are both engaged in research and development and rarely come home. They don't know what's going on with my mother and uncle, so it's normal for them not to receive any letters from their children for a year.
"This is also why grandfather doesn't know that uncle has been in confinement for as long as a year, and he doesn't know that uncle is preparing to get married.
"After uncle secretly told them about this, grandfather immediately asked a friend to investigate in secret, but he didn't find anything. There's no female soldier named 'Hong Mei' in the army."
Ye Chien's fingertips were trembling. Could it be that mom … didn't tell anyone … her real name? That's why he didn't find out where she was?
He went back to the army to look for mom after a year, but mom wasn't even in the army at that time. She went home to give birth to her!
That's why he didn't find out where she was?
Ye Chien's heart was in turmoil as he guessed and thought …
"A year ago, uncle and aunt were preparing to get married. A year later, grandfather went to investigate again, but there was no news at all. For a long time, grandfather wondered if uncle had gone insane after being confined for a year. The so-called fiancée was just a figment of uncle's imagination and didn't exist. "
"If it wasn't for this photo …" Li Jinnian took out the old photo again and looked down at the young man and woman in the photo. There was a slight ripple in his cold voice. "It was because of this photo that Grandfather confirmed that Uncle did have a fiancée who was about to get a marriage certificate."
Li Jinnian handed the photo back to Ye Jian. His expression was cold, and his dark, unfathomable eyes revealed a faint light. It was a light filled with hope. "Ye Jian, I'm willing to invite you to take a good, serious look at this photo again, okay?"
There were too many emotions in his eyes that made Ye Chien's heart heavy. She didn't even have the courage to reach out her hand.
What if … he had mistaken her for someone else?
She didn't reach out to take it, so Li Jinnian kept holding it in his hand, patiently waiting for her to reach out.
"Take it and take a good look at it." Xia Jinyuan tightened his grip on her hand and moved closer to her. He said gently and calmly, "For your own sake and for Mr. Lu's sake, you should take it and take a good look at it."
The familiar aura that made her feel at ease wrapped around her, giving her the courage to reach out her hand.
The moment she took the photo, Ye Chien saw Li Jinnian's tense shoulders visibly relax. He was actually afraid … afraid that she would reject him again.
Ye Chien took a deep breath and looked down. She wasn't mistaken. The young woman in the photo was indeed her mother.
There was a photo in the diary of her mother wearing a military uniform with the same smile. Even the size was the same. The only difference was that it was a photo of her mother alone.
