Ahead, Xu Zixi, Yan Yincheng, and Alex, who had been closely watching all this, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Xuanxuan immediately turned around and rushed towards Xu Zixi impatiently.
His attitude of showing no hesitation made Bai Xuanhe's heart ache. But halfway through, the child stopped, turned around, and ran back towards him.
The small hand grasped Bai Xuanhe's scar - covered fingertips, and Xuanxuan pulled him forward with his insignificant strength.
Although the man had almost taken him away, Xuanxuan still remembered how lonely the man's eyes had been when he told him about his childhood experiences.
Xuanxuan thought that Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng didn't know what Bai Xuanhe had been through, and he tried to persuade his father and mother.
"Daddy, Mommy, Uncle He is not a bad person. He is so pitiful. He said that he and his mommy were kidnapped by bad people. His hand was cut by the bad guys, and they were thrown into the river. He was also separated from his mommy for many years. Xu Xu and I almost got separated from you two before. I can understand Uncle He. So... Can I recognize Uncle He as my godfather?"
Fate was so miraculous.
Because of their similar experiences, Yan Yincheng had recognized Bai Xuanhe's father as his godfather and received the love from Mr. Tang that he couldn't give to his biological son.
Now, Yan Yincheng's child had personally proposed the request to recognize Mr. Tang's biological son as his godfather.
Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, Bai Xuanhe and Xuanxuan were still inevitably connected in this life.
"Brother Cheng..." Xu Zixi still couldn't let down her guard against Bai Xuanhe. She chose to hold Yan Yincheng's hand and asked for his opinion.
Yan Yincheng knew that he had received Mr. Tang's kindness for so many years, and now it was time for him to repay it.
"Bai Xuanhe, if you've investigated what happened back then, you should know that your father rushed to rescue you and your mother right after he finished the operation. But when he arrived, there were only two charred and unrecognizable corpses at the scene. This result made him live in remorse for the rest of his life."
Bai Xuanhe's pupils suddenly constricted due to extreme shock, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
"Father Tang chose to save me in Texas because he didn't want to see the history repeat itself. Countless times when he was drunk, he mistook me for you and poured out his repentance to me again and again. He lived in self - blame for the rest of his life. Even when he was dying, he held the photo of your family of three in his hand. Before he died, he asked me to take your family's ashes back to Yuncheng for burial. I think if there was a time machine in this world, the person who most wanted to go back to the past and change everything must be him."
"I hope you can understand that there was never any feud between you and me, and we shouldn't be enemies. I can overlook all your actions, like taking Xuanxuan away six years ago and now, and tampering with the medicine formula. I can also turn a blind eye to your background and experiences."
After saying this, Yan Yincheng paused and said, "If you're willing, I agree to let the child establish a closer relationship with you, just like I had with Father Tang."
"However, if one day your identity is exposed and the police come to your door, I hope the child won't be involved."
Having received a positive answer from his father, Xuanxuan turned around and looked at Bai Xuanhe, expecting his reply.
Bai Xuanhe slowly came back to his senses from Yan Yincheng's words. Facing the expectant Xuanxuan, he didn't hesitate and replied, "Okay."
Xuanxuan's eyes lit up, and he called out crisply, "Godfather He!"
This open - and - above - board address was like a beam of light, illuminating the sky that was always overcast for Bai Xuanhe. His cold heart for many years became warm because of this address.
The injured finger ruffled the child's soft hair.
Little Fei was right. Maybe he should also let go of everything and try to have a calm and ordinary life of his own.
Looking up, he said, "Let's go. Back to the research lab."
Although Yan Yincheng chose to reconcile, Xu Zixi became vigilant again when she remembered that the man had tampered with the experimental data. "What are we going back to the research lab for?"
"Modify the data, redo the experiment, and clear your husband's name." Bai Xuanhe said.
Without hesitation, Xu Zixi immediately pulled Xuanxuan and Yan Yincheng into the car. Alex looked at Bai Xuanhe. The man looked a bit desolate. He raised his hand and patted the man's shoulder, then walked towards his own car.
Bai Xuanhe stood in the night, watching the car in front drive away first, then he turned around and got into the passenger seat of Alex's car.
A moment later, at Xu's Biological Research Lab.
In the bright laboratory, Bai Xuanhe sat in front of the computer and tapped on the keyboard. He corrected all the modified parameters, then washed his hands, disinfected his whole body, put on gloves, and started to prepare the medicine again.
Xu Zixi stood outside the laboratory and watched for a while. She took off her coat and walked in.
The two had cooperated countless times. They didn't need to communicate. Just a look was enough to know what the other would do next.
After two hours of this tacit cooperation, a new medicine was made.
The golden liquid medicine was drawn into several special syringes, and Xu Zixi injected them into the experimental mice one by one.
Bai Xuanhe said, "This time, you don't need to wait for fifteen days. You'll see the effect in seven days."
Xu Zixi was really angry with him. But since he had finally shown his attitude and was willing to stand on their side, she didn't want to irritate him. She could only keep a straight face and lower her head to record the data.
Bai Xuanhe thought she looked like an angry little fox when she was angry. Finally, he did what he had always wanted to do.
He raised his hand and ruffled her soft hair, just like Xuanxuan's. He said, "I'm sorry. This apology is for the scheme six years ago and for this deception. Actually, I've always admired you since the first time I confronted you face - to - face. Your ability really impressed me. I've never met a woman who could match me in both hacking and pharmacy. It's a pity..."
"You—" Xu Zixi wanted to scold him, but her anger suddenly subsided. She swept his hand away and turned around, walking away angrily.
Locking the door of the research lab, Xu Zixi didn't even look at Bai Xuanhe. She pulled Yan Yincheng and took Xuanxuan back to the camp.
Watching the car disappear into the night, Bai Xuanhe said to Alex beside him, "Little Fei, accompany me for a drink."
At the Wucui Mountain Starry Sky Camping Site, when everyone saw Xu Zixi, Yan Yincheng, and Xuanxuan come back, they all heaved a sigh of relief. Xu Xu pursed his lips and jumped off the RV directly, throwing himself at Xuanxuan.
"Waaaaaa, Brother, where have you been? I was so worried about you!"
"Be good, little brother. I'm fine. I won't leave you, Daddy, Mommy, and little sister!" Xuanxuan gently patted Xu Xu's back and kissed his face.
Although An Ning was only two years old, she had already learned to worry about her brothers. She sobbed and stepped forward to hug the legs of the two brothers, crying, "Waaaa, Brother, Qi Ji also wants a hug and a kiss!"
The scene of the children hugging and comforting each other made everyone feel warm in their hearts.
Not seeing Bai Xuanhe's figure, one of the researchers tentatively asked Xu Zixi, "General Manager Xu, what exactly happened just now? Why did Professor He take your child away? Where is he now?"
Xu Zixi said impatiently, "He had a hemorrhoid attack and was sent to the hospital for surgery!"
Yan Yincheng beside her twitched the corner of his mouth and almost burst out laughing. His wife was really able to tell right from wrong and was extremely cute.
Everyone: "..." So a gloomy and handsome man like Professor He could also get hemorrhoids! It was really an eye - opener. Cough cough cough.
