Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056 Nothing is More Important Than Your Safety
Returning to Capital City, it was already the twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month. With a long whistle from the train, they pulled into the station.
Luo Siyan disembarked and said, “Grandpa, Grandma, I’ve gone straight back to the military. I took my New Year’s holiday early, so I won’t be able to spend it with you. I wish everyone a happy New Year in advance.”
Luo Daoren patted his grandson on the shoulder, “Grandpa forgot about this. If I had known it was going to take up your New Year’s holiday, I wouldn’t have let you go. Ah well, focus on your training, and when you have leave, let Grandma cook you something delicious.”
After leaving the station, Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao also said goodbye to their grandparents and everyone else. Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao went straight to hail a taxi, giving the driver the address of the second entrance courtyard.
The others also scattered from the train station, with Luo Xuyuan responsible for taking the grandparents back.
By the time Luo Qiao and her group arrived home, the sky was just beginning to lighten.
Fortunately, Elder Rong had the habit of getting up early and heard someone outside the gate, “Who’s out there?”
Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao looked at each other, “Elder Rong, open the door, it’s me.”
Elder Rong recognized Lu Yichen’s voice, “Yichen, you’re back.”
Luo Qiao joined in, “Elder Rong, yes, we’re back.”
The gate opened, and Elder Rong greeted them with a smile, “Come in quickly, it’s windy today, and extremely cold.”
Once inside the courtyard, Luo Qiao asked, “Elder Rong, are the little ones in the front or the back courtyard?”
Elder Rong chuckled, “They’re in the back courtyard. They refused to stay in the front, and both insisted on sleeping in their own rooms. Your Grandma has been accompanying them on the daybed in their room.”
Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao headed towards the back courtyard, Luo Qiao speaking as they walked, “Thank you for everything.”
Elder Rong didn’t follow them to the back, “It’s no trouble, go ahead, I’ll go make some porridge.”
The two reached the back courtyard, and before they even entered the room, as if sensing their presence, Yanyan sat up, “Grandma Rong, are mom and dad back?”
Grandma Rong had actually been awake for a while, “Yanyan, be good, go back to sleep, and in a little while, you’ll see mom and dad.”
Yanyan held her doll, “Grandma Rong, I can’t sleep anymore. I miss mom and dad.”
Overhearing this from outside, Luo Qiao suddenly felt a twinge of heartache, thinking about how after the New Year, she would be going abroad, and it might be at least until the end of the year before she could return. How would Yanyan and Yueyue cope?
Her mood suddenly dropped, and Lu Yichen took her into his arms, “Don’t worry, I’ll communicate with our daughters. We’ll be waiting for you at home.”
Luo Qiao hugged him tightly, “I will complete my course as soon as possible and return home, and I’ll deal with the threat from the Jun family.”
Lu Yichen’s heart ached, “It’s all my fault. This should be an issue for the Lu and Gu families to handle, but it’s fallen on you. If it weren’t for my current status preventing me from going abroad freely, I’d really want to join you. But rest assured, I’ll look for a chance to get over there.”
“Stop talking nonsense, aren’t we a family? Besides, the Jun family has been picking fights all along. Their existence is a serious threat to my children, so this can’t be delayed. Trust me.”
“Qiaoqiao, please make sure to take care of yourself, okay? Nothing is more important than your safety.”
Luo Qiao whispered, “Don’t worry, with the space I control, nothing will happen.”
Just then, they heard Yueyue inside also waking up, “Sister, are mom and dad back?”
Luo Qiao quickly let go of Lu Yichen and tapped lightly on the room door, “Yanyan, Yueyue, mom and dad are coming in.”
As they entered, they saw the two children getting ready to climb out of bed barefoot, Luo Qiao hurriedly called out, “Don’t get down, don’t get down.”
She quickly picked up both children and tucked them back into bed, “It’s windy outside today, put on your clothes before you come down.”
Yanyan stretched out her little arms to hug Luo Qiao’s neck and cooed, “Mom, Yanyan missed you.”
Luo Qiao hugged her daughter back, “Mom missed you too.”
Lu Yichen brought over their clothes, dressing Yueyue neatly, then brought Yanyan’s clothes too, “I’ve laid out your clothes here, I’m going to take Yueyue to wash up.”
Seeing her sister dressed and ready to wash up, Yanyan didn’t cling to her mom anymore, “Mom, help me dress quickly, my sister is already up, and I’m the elder sister.”
