Jiang Xue felt a bit doubtful, that figure disappeared too quickly, and she didn’t see it clearly.
After standing for a while longer and still not seeing it, Jiang Xue had no choice but to turn around and head towards the bus No. 18.
However, just as she turned around, someone came out from the direction of the restroom. It was exactly the person she was looking for. Official source is novel•fire.net
Mu Qiancheng came out of the restroom and headed towards the bus. He had just arrived in Xu City not long ago, and today he happened to be out running some errands; now he was planning to take the bus back to the base.
He was also completely unaware of Jiang Xue chasing after him just now. Firstly, he didn’t think Jiang Xue would be in the city; secondly, he had just asked, and the bus was departing in five minutes—he was in a hurry.
"Xue’er, where did you go?" Bai Yuhua and Mu Siwu looked at Jiang Xue as she returned, finally sighing in relief. Just a moment ago, Jiang Xue had left in a hurry, and she thought something had happened.
"I went to check out a restroom." Jiang Xue found an excuse, unsure if that person was really Mu Qiancheng, so she didn’t want to tell her parents-in-law to avoid getting their hopes up unnecessarily.
Furthermore, even if it was Mu Qiancheng, if he appeared here, it must be for a mission, and he likely wouldn’t have time to go home.
"Dad, Mom, let’s get on the bus." Jiang Xue called out to her parents-in-law, signaling them to board first.
Jiang Xue was following behind them, about to get on the bus, when a familiar voice rang in her ears: "Sis, it’s inconvenient for you to get on holding the child. Need help?"
Mu Qiancheng stood behind Jiang Xue, unable to see her face. Additionally, since she was holding a child, he didn’t recognize her at once. However, seeing her petite figure struggling to board with a child, he spoke up, wanting to help.
Jiang Xue was about to step onto the bus when she heard the familiar voice. She turned around abruptly, saw that familiar face, and couldn’t help but get excited, exclaiming, "Qiancheng! It’s really you!"
When Jiang Xue cried out the word ’Qiancheng,’ Mu Qiancheng happened to see Jiang Xue’s face. He was startled at first, then overwhelmingly joyful, blurting out two words: "Xue’er!"
"What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here?"
Both of them asked simultaneously, looking at each other’s surprised faces. Jiang Xue hadn’t expected that the familiar figure she saw earlier was indeed Mu Qiancheng, and Mu Qiancheng hadn’t expected to be here, meeting his wife Jiang Xue at the bus stop.
Moreover, his wife was holding a child. What was she doing?
"Let’s talk on the bus." Mu Qiancheng was the first to regain his composure, knowing this wasn’t the place to talk. He reached out to take the child from Jiang Xue’s arms, letting her board first.
Jiang Xue, understanding this as well, followed Mu Qiancheng onto the bus.
Mu Siwu and Bai Yuhua, who had boarded first, found a seat and sat down. After waiting for a while and not seeing Jiang Xue come up, Mu Siwu was about to go check when he stood up and saw a tall man in military uniform holding a child, just coming up from the bus door.
Upon a closer look, he realized the one being held was his own grandson. Seeing someone else holding his grandson, Mu Siwu felt uneasy and was about to leave his seat to take the child when he realized that the person holding his grandson was none other than his own son.
Seeing his son suddenly, Mu Siwu was stunned. Bai Yuhua, sitting by the window, was gazing outside and hadn’t noticed what was happening inside the bus until she sensed something unusual with her husband. She then shifted her gaze and fixed it on Mu Qiancheng.
"Chengcheng, what are you doing here?"
