After all, before returning to the country, she had also inquired about some of Han Jingchen’s situation. She knew he was still single, and after returning, she additionally received news that Han Jingchen had found their daughter.
The cyclist had good stamina; perhaps there weren’t many cars on the road today, or maybe it was near the year’s end, and he wanted to finish work early and go home. This driver cut the journey that usually took an hour and a half short by more than ten minutes.
After settling the fare with the driver, she looked at the house that haunted her dreams, and couldn’t help but tear up.
She was about to lift her foot and call at the door when she saw a Miss wearing a red-gray checkered wool coat coming out of the yard.
Their eyes met, neither speaking, just staring at each other for a few moments.
Xinyan had seen photos of Gu Wanqing at Han Jingchen’s place, and now seeing her in person, she was somewhat incredulous, but she knew who this person was.
Without turning back, she shouted loudly at the yard, "Dad, come quickly."
This shout used all her strength.
It startled the people inside, making them all run out.
Leading the charge was Han Jingchen, with He Jinxuan closely following, having heard the commotion from the back yard.
Han Jingchen was the first to ask, "Yanyan, what’s wrong?"
At this moment, Gu Wanqing finally came to her senses, looking at Han Jingchen who was rushing towards Xinyan.
Xinyan directly pointed towards the door: "Dad, look."
Han Jingchen first checked over his daughter, making sure she was okay, before looking at the door, and with just one glance he lost his composure.
The hand resting on Xinyan was not controlled well and directly pushed her; if He Jinxuan hadn’t caught her, the unsuspecting Xinyan might have fallen.
Everyone exclaimed in shock, and He Jinxuan caught Xinyan.
At the same time, Han Jingchen tightly embraced Gu Wanqing standing at the door: "Wanqing, you finally came back, you finally came back."
Gu Wanqing also tightly hugged Han Jingchen back: "Jingchen, it’s me, I’ve returned, I’ve missed you, missed you so much."
A grown man, eyes crimson, holding her continuously saying, "Wanqing, as long as you’re safe, it’s good that you’re back."
At this time, Han Chunxue and Su Aihong saw clearly the person Han Jingchen was holding, tears welled in their eyes.
No one had expected Gu Wanqing to return here today without any warning.
They no longer worried about Han Jingchen’s feelings and directly surrounded her.
Han Chunxue tearfully said, "Second sister-in-law, you’ve finally returned."
Su Aihong also couldn’t hold back: "Wanqing, you can finally come back, where did you go all these years?"
Even Han Jingheng, the big brother, was deeply moved: "Jingchen, quickly bring her inside."
Having been a reconnaissance soldier before, he recognized from her attire that his sister-in-law was doing well, yet surprisingly no one accompanied her, and she quietly found her way here alone, indicating his sister-in-law didn’t want anyone to know she had returned.
Therefore, to avoid causing trouble for her, it was wise to be cautious.
Su Aihong echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, let’s go inside, go inside."
Only then did Han Jingchen release her, but he held her hand tightly, afraid she might disappear again.
Gu Wanqing then looked at the Han Family members: "Elder sister-in-law, Chunxue, I’m back."
Han Chunxue cried uncontrollably, and Su Aihong held her other hand: "It’s good you’re back, it’s good. Jingchen has been waiting for you all these years; let’s talk inside, let’s talk inside."
Only then did a crowd escort Gu Wanqing into the yard, but as Gu Wanqing reached Xinyan, she instinctively said, "You’re Xinyan, you’re my Yanyan, right?"
