“Eek!”
They finally met! Tanaka, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed on the second floor, nearly stuffed his fist into his mouth as he watched through the monitoring screens.
He was even more excited than the people involved! He had opened a total of six screens!
One screen showed the perspective from Jiang Miao’s and He Yan’s direction! Another showed the perspective from Yan He and Jiang Rui’s direction! There was a panoramic side view, and three close-ups of their faces!
Ah, what will happen next?
The screens moved because He Yan moved.
He took a step forward and called out, “Ruirui—”
His voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement. Tanaka couldn’t help but feel a lump in his throat—after all, when he was pretending to be Yan He back then, everyone knew he was crazy about his child.

At this moment, Jiang Miao said, “Ruirui, come here…”
So Jiang Rui walked over. Jiang Miao bypassed He Yan and held Jiang Rui’s hand, bending down to ask him, “Do you know who this is?”
Jiang Rui looked up at the tall man. “…Daddy?”
The next second, he was lifted into the air, the man who had been called Daddy raising him high and even spinning him around.
But why did his eyes seem to be glistening with tears? This thought flashed through Jiang Rui’s mind. Although he was smart enough to solve complex mathematical formulas, he wasn’t yet able to understand a father’s feelings.
But this Daddy, like Uncle Yan, could lift him up, and that made Jiang Rui very happy.
“Ruirui…” He Yan held Jiang Rui tightly in his arms.
Jiang Rui smiled brightly and said, “Hello, Daddy!”
Although he couldn’t remember anything from before he was three, he had seen many videos. When he was just a baby, this daddy had taken care of him very seriously.
However, the assistants of other classmates usually visited at least once or twice a year, but this was the first time his daddy had come to see him since he could remember.
He must be really busy.
“Alright…” He Yan tightly hugged Jiang Rui, burying his face in Jiang Rui’s shoulder, his voice slightly choked.
Jiang Rui thought, “…”
Although the visits were rare, it seemed like his daddy really missed him.
Well, okay, he could forgive him.
Jiang Rui kicked his little legs and struggled a bit.
He Yan put him down and crouched down to meet him at eye level.
“I’m sorry,” he said. “I haven’t come to see you in so long.”
“It’s okay.” Jiang Rui nodded and said generously, “If you’re too busy with work, we can video call instead.”
“It’s not because of work.” He Yan lovingly touched Jiang Rui’s face and said gently, “It’s because Daddy lives far away, and it’s very difficult to come here. I’m sorry.”
“Oh…” Jiang Rui suddenly understood. So that’s how it is—now he felt even more forgiving toward his daddy.
“It’s okay, it’s okay,” he said with a smile. “If it’s too far, then once or twice a year is fine. My classmate Park Shin-mi’s assistant only visits her once a year. And Huo Sen—after his assistant moved to the Kaka star system, he hasn’t seen her since. He doesn’t even remember what his mom looks like.”
Hearing his son comfort him like this, He Yan’s heart ached.
He felt both the pain of being separated from his son and the pain of his son’s first reaction upon seeing him being to hold someone else’s hand. But at the same time, he felt relieved that Jiang Miao had raised Jiang Rui in an environment like this.
The children here all lived with just one parent, so Jiang Rui wouldn’t feel like he was missing anything or be affected by the separation.
As for the things he should have done for Jiang Rui… He Yan’s sharp gaze shifted to the man standing with his hands in his pockets, calmly watching the reunion of father and son.
Major Yan He, why was he here? Why was he so familiar with his son? Why had he even taken on the responsibilities that should have been his?
He Yan held Jiang Rui’s hand and stood up.
Jiang Rui noticed that his father’s demeanor suddenly changed—it had been gentle just a moment ago, but now it had turned sharp and intense.
Jiang Rui was thrilled!
This daddy was so much like Uncle Yan! It felt just like when Uncle Yan took him to play in the forest and taught him those combat techniques!
Seeing He Yan glance at Yan He, Jiang Rui let out an “Ah” and said, “Daddy, I forgot to introduce you—this is Uncle Yan He.”
“Eek!”
Tanaka was so nervous that he didn’t even dare to blink.
Even through the screen, he could feel the chill in the air.
It was as if the temperature had dropped several degrees in an instant. If looks could freeze, everything would have been covered in ice by now.
Jiang Miao stepped forward, intercepting the icy stares exchanged between the two men.
“This is Yan He, my friend and business partner,” she said, then turned to the other man. “And this is He Yan from Nash, Rui Rui’s father.”
With that, she completed the brief introductions.
But in reality, no introduction was needed—how could these two not already know each other?
Two people who originally had nothing to do with each other were dragged into the same major event.
They had no personal grudges, and if they had met in an official capacity, they might have just exchanged a glance and passed by each other calmly.
But now, with public and private matters tangled together, that was no longer possible.
This wasn’t the first time He Yan had seen Yan He in person.
He had previously been required to observe him from behind glass. The government sent all kinds of people to talk to Yan He—there were fierce men, gentle women, rough interrogators, and professional medical staff—all to make He Yan observe Yan He’s different expressions, moods, and body language as he spoke with different people.
He Yan knew that this was the man he was supposed to impersonate.
He observed closely, but he didn’t concern himself with the man himself. Once such an important plan was set into motion, it was highly likely that the man wouldn’t survive, to ensure the plan’s success.
He Yan felt no sympathy or guilt.
In times of war between two countries, what else could be done? Yan He was just unlucky to be sacrificed in the Trojan Plan. If he were just an ordinary prisoner, he might have ended up in a POW camp or converted through surrender.
But Nash’s border soldiers… It was said that Gita never kept any prisoners.
At that time, He Yan had already been informed of the ultimate goal of the mission and understood the significance of what he had to do.
He had already prepared himself for the possibility of dying in a foreign land, so how could he care about another small figure caught in the same major event?
Later, when He Yan learned that Yan He had managed to escape back to Gita alive, he actually felt a bit of respect for him. In those circumstances, not just anyone could survive. He Yan hadn’t experienced it himself, so he couldn’t confidently say whether he could have done the same.
Yan He’s escape forced the early execution of the Trojan Plan, leading to He Yan’s separation from Jiang Miao.
But He Yan never harbored any hostility or hatred toward Yan He because of it.
After all, what was wrong with wanting to survive? No one could say that he was wrong for that. If it had been He Yan, he would have tried to survive too.
As for his separation from Jiang Miao, as she had said, it wasn’t because of Yan He, nor because of Gita, Nash, the central brain, or anyone like Li Pingzhong. It was because of the choice he had made.
So in reality, none of this had anything to do with Yan He, and He Yan had no reason to blame him.
However!
Why was Yan He still by Jiang Miao’s side after everything that had happened?
Why was Yan He so close to his son?
Although Jiang Miao called him a “friend and business partner,” no one would choose a stranger they weren’t familiar with as a business partner. To be a partner, they first had to be someone you were familiar with and trusted!
Not to mention, Yan He had a face that He Yan found extremely irritating!
He Yan’s right hand hung at his side.
He opened it, clenched it into a fist, then opened it again.
Yan He had never met He Yan in person.
He didn’t know that He Yan had already seen him behind glass. His understanding of He Yan came from the surveillance footage from the Nais Garden apartment on the capital star and the holographic projection on Jiang Rui’s bedside.
Like He Yan, Yan He didn’t believe that they should have any personal grudges or hatred over such a major event.
However, that would have been true only if… this jerk had just used the sperm he left in the military sperm bank!!
Yan He had always thought of himself as young, never even considering having children—until that time when he was captured.
After a brush with death, his instinct to reproduce was awakened.
Once this instinct awakens in a man, it’s hard to suppress. Just like 6,000 years ago during the ancient Earth era, many childfree men would live carefree into their forties or fifties. But once this instinct, ingrained in their genes, was triggered, they would go to any lengths—whether through divorce or affairs—to have a child, no matter the cost.
If that Trojan had obediently used the sperm he left in the sperm bank, Yan He felt that even if his career had ended in failure, at least in the realm of parenting, he could have considered himself a winner.
But no, this Trojan jerk, mixing business with personal matters, used his own sperm instead.
And the woman he intercepted, Jiang Miao, was precisely Yan He’s ideal type in every way, while Jiang Rui was exactly the kind of genius child—highly intelligent and physically gifted—that anyone aspiring to have exceptional offspring would want!
At this point, Yan He conveniently overlooked the fact that without the Trojan plan, he and Jiang Miao would never have been matched as parenting partners due to geographical distance.
Yan He was just furious.
Jiang Miao could accept having a child with a fake version of him, but to this day, she wouldn’t accept having a child with the real him. It was enough to make him fume.
Yan He’s right hand was in his pocket.
He opened it, clenched it into a fist, then opened it again.
“He Yan,” Jiang Miao warned with a look at He Yan.
The relationship between these two men was too delicate; someone had to break the ice first.
Jiang Miao certainly couldn’t push Yan He to make the first move, so she had to push He Yan.
He Yan glanced at her, stepped forward, and extended his right hand toward Yan He. “Major Yan, a pleasure to meet you.”
Yan He took a large step forward and also extended his right hand toward He Yan. “Lieutenant Colonel He, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Two iron-strong hands gripped each other.
Jiang Miao and Jiang Rui both focused on those clasped hands…
They heard a faint “crackling” sound.
…
Jiang Rui cupped his face in amazement: Wow~ Uncle Yan and Daddy are both so strong!
Meanwhile, on the second floor, Tanaka was trembling with excitement, almost reaching a climax.
Sansukini: Tanaka be like “This BL is so juicy. Eek!”
