In the afternoon, more patients arrived one after another.

Shen Jingyue was so busy that it was almost time to get off work.

Around 3 a.m., the three people working the night shift also arrived.

Dr. Li called Shen Jingyue over and then introduced her to the other three doctors.

"This is Dr. Shen, our new doctor at the clinic, Comrade Shen."

"Xiao Shen, these are also doctors here. This is Dr. Xue Ping, this is Dr. Yu Weiming, and this is Dr. Kang Zheng."

"Around here, only Dr. Kang and Dr. Liu are about your age."

The others were all older than them.

"Hello." Shen Jingyue smiled and nodded at them.

"Oh my, Dr. Shen is so beautiful. Deputy Commander Qin is so lucky," Dr. Xue exclaimed.

They all lived in the same residential compound, so they had naturally heard about Shen Jingyue, but this was their first time meeting.

But she is indeed beautiful.

Shen Jingyue felt a little embarrassed by what was said.

"Alright, now that everyone knows each other, there's one more thing I want to say."

Dr. Li asked everyone to sit down. "Here's the thing, Xiao Shen is currently pregnant. I plan to have her work the early shift for the time being, and then make other arrangements after she gives birth. What do you all think?"

Shen Jingyue never expected that Dr. Li would take such good care of her.

"Dr. Li, there's no need for you to go to such trouble. I'll just do the same thing as everyone else. Anyway, the family compound isn't far from here, it's just a few steps away."

Shen Jingyue didn't want to be treated specially.

Dr. Li raised her hand and said, "Hey, you're pregnant now, safety is the most important thing. It's too late to go home at night, and the roads aren't easy to walk on. What if you, a pregnant woman, fall?"

He then turned his gaze to the others, "What do you guys think?"

"If you have any opinions, you can speak up. It's okay."

"No objection, I think it's great. It's really difficult to walk on the road at night without streetlights," Dr. Xue was the first to speak.

The other two doctors naturally had no objections. Their place of residence wasn't far away, and besides, there weren't many patients at night, so the night shift was relatively easy, except that they would get off work a little later.

But everyone's used to it, and besides, they don't have to go to work so early the next day, so they can sleep in a little later.

"Since none of you have any objections, then it's settled."

"You guys go ahead and get busy."

The other doctors went to change their clothes and get busy.

Dr. Li said to Shen Jingyue, "Little Shen, don't feel embarrassed. Our health center is quite united, and everyone gets along very well."

"Thank you, Dr. Li."

"You're welcome. It's almost time to get off work. You should go change and go home to rest. You've worked so hard today, thank you."

"It's not hard work. How can serving the people be considered hard work?"

Dr. Li laughed heartily, "Good, good, your awareness is excellent, go on your way."

"Then I'll be leaving first."

Shen Jingyue went to the break room to change clothes and then went home after get off work.

She had just returned when Sister Wang arrived.

"Sister Shen is back."

"Sister Wang, what brings you here? Please have a seat."

Sister Wang sat down on the stool and said with a smile, "I just heard the sound of your door opening, and when I came out and saw your door open, I guessed it was you coming back."

"How's it going? Is working there alright?"

"It's great, the colleagues there are all very easy to get along with." Shen Jingyue poured her a glass of water from the thermos and handed it to her.

"Have some water."

"No need, I'll just sit for a bit and then go back. You should sit down and rest."

She pulled her to sit down on the stool.

"I have something to tell you."

"What's up?"

"It's that Fang Cuiping from yesterday. I heard her mother is looking for a boyfriend for her."

"How did you know?" Shen Jingyue asked curiously.

"Of course, I heard it from the women in the family compound. This morning, her mother was asking around in the army about a high-ranking but unmarried man, hoping to find a match for her daughter."

"And then what? Did you find it?"

"What are you looking for? I heard that her daughter caused a scene last year, demanding that Deputy Regiment Commander Qin divorce his wife and marry her. That story spread throughout the family compound and the military. Now, none of the unmarried officers with higher ranks in the military would even look at her."

"If you ask me, she deserves it. Of all people to be interested in, she had to be interested in someone who's already married."

"I'm telling you this to remind you to be careful. You have a child now, so if you run into her and her mother again, try to stay away from them."

Sister Wang told her all this to warn her to be careful.

Yesterday, Fang Cuiping's eyes looked like she wanted to eat someone alive, and Sister Wang was still worried.

"Don't worry, Sister Wang, I'll be careful."

"That's good. I'll head back now. I still need to water the vegetables later. You've been busy for so long, you should get some rest."

Sister Wang got up and left.

Shen Jingyue was also a little tired, so she went out, closed the door, and went into her private space to rest.

In the days that followed, Shen Jingyue basically went back and forth between her home and the health center.

Every now and then, I would go to the market here with Sister Wang to buy some vegetables.

She was living a pretty comfortable life, and as for her husband Qin Xiang'an, whom she had never met, she had completely forgotten about him.

Qin Xiang'an, who is far away in Beijing, has already completed the paternity test with Commander Xiao's father, and the results will be available today.

He had originally planned to leave after delivering the documents here two weeks ago.

But Xiao Yuchen stopped him, insisting that he go and do a paternity test with Xiao's father.

In fact, upon seeing Xiao's father's face, he was certain that Xiao Yuchen was right.

I must be the younger brother he mentioned who was stolen.

Because Xiao's father and he looked so alike, like they were cut from the same mold.

Later, they still dragged me to do a paternity test and ordered me to stay there for more than half a month.

If he hadn't wanted to see the outcome himself, he would have left long ago.

Xiao Yuchen's injuries had almost healed, so he drove there to pick them up.

Qin Xiang'an was sitting in Xiao's father's office waiting.

Neither of them spoke; they sat quietly.

Xiao Yuchen returned very quickly.

He was extremely excited; he had indeed guessed correctly—Qin Xiang'an was his younger brother who had been taken away.

"Dad, Dad, the results are in."

Xiao Yuchen rushed in with the results in hand.

Mr. Xiao stood up nervously, looking at him. "What was the result?"

Qin Xiang'an also stood up.

Seeing how excited he was, Qin Xiang'an had already guessed the outcome.

Sure enough, the next second Xiao Yuchen excitedly said, "Dad, it's the fourth brother, Qin Xiang'an is the fourth brother."

He handed the results to his father, and upon seeing them, Xiao's father burst into tears.

Although he had long suspected that Qin Xiang'an was his son, Xiao's father still teared up when he saw the results.

He turned around and looked at Qin Xiang'an.

Qin Xiang'an's expression remained calm.

Even if he knew they were his relatives, the lack of family affection over the years, coupled with the life he spent in the Qin family, meant he didn't really have much hope for family ties.

"My child, I'm sorry you've suffered all these years."

During this time, Xiao's father hadn't been idle. Before the paternity test results came out, he had someone inquire about the home of Qin Xiang'an's adoptive parents.

Not only was life difficult, but his adoptive parents were also not very kind to him.

He joined the army at the age of seventeen and earned a lot of military merits through his own efforts before he rose to the position of deputy regimental commander. One can imagine the difficulties and obstacles he faced.

"Yuchen, give your second sister a call and ask her to come back. We'll go home for dinner later and tell your mom and grandpa the good news. They'll be so happy to hear."

"Give your older brother a call and tell him the good news."

"Okay, I'll go right now." Xiao Yuchen quickly made a phone call.
