After a brief packing, the couple headed to the front yard.
Seeing Luo Qiao and her husband approaching, Ning Lingyu stood up: "Qiaoqiao."
Luo Qiao entered: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, is there sothing you need?"
Lu Yichen poured her a glass of water and handed it to her.
Yuan Jiaming clearly felt that Luo Qiao’s attitude towards him had changed, her words were noticeably distant and polite.
Ning Lingyu let out a sigh and spoke up: "We ca today to apologize. It was all my fault about yesterday’s incident; if I hadn’t kept ntioning those annoying matters to him, he wouldn’t have lashed out on my behalf."
Luo Qiao took a sip of water from the cup: "I know, so I didn’t take it to heart. You didn’t need to make a special trip here for this."
At this ti, Yuan Jiaming also spoke: "Qiaoqiao, I was too impulsive yesterday, and sowhat presumptuous. I’m sorry."
Luo Qiao didn’t want to dwell on the matter, so she said: "Alright, I accept your apology, you don’t need to worry about it."
Ning Lingyu added: "As for my father’s issues, I won’t interfere anymore. It’s the path he chose, no one else is to bla."
After so more conversation, Ning Lingyu and Yuan Jiaming left, taking with them the gifts Luo Qiao had returned to them—many strawberries.
The incident seed to be behind them, but the emotional connection was certainly not the sa as before.

The next day, several families agreed to et up at the airport.
When Luo Qiao’s family arrived, they saw Lu Xinyi, their father-in-law, already waiting there, his face full of smiles, his eyes entirely on the children.
Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen said in unison: "Dad, you have co really early."
Lu Xinyi nodded at his son and daughter-in-law: "I didn’t have much to pack, and I left ho early."
He then looked at the children, his eyes full of affection: "Are you cold? Co to Grandpa."
Yanyan asked with a smile: "Grandpa, why did you co so early?"
Lu Xinyi patted his granddaughter’s hair gently: "Grandpa wanted to see you all earlier."
He then settled the children on the seats in the waiting area.
Xiao Ye ca down from his seat and walked to his mother: "Mom, when are great-grandpa and great-grandma coming over?"
Luo Qiao smiled: "Soon, didn’t we just call them a while ago?"
At this mont, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yu were talking with their grandfather in his arms. Lu Xinyi saw Xiao Ye looking over: "Xiao Ye, co here, let grandpa hold you."
Xiao Ye cheekily said: "Grandpa’s hands aren’t enough to hold all three of us."
Lu Xinyi laughed: "Then co lean against grandpa."
Xiao Ye obediently did lean against his grandpa: "Grandpa, it’s warr when we huddle together."
Lu Xinyi listened to Xiao Ye’s words: "Right, our Xiao Ye is really smart."
The conversation between the grandchildren and their grandfather seed quite cheerful, even though it was a bit disjointed. Grandfather Lu Xinyi showed great patience.
It wasn’t long before everyone had arrived.
Wang Xiaoxin approached with a smile: "You all arrived quite early."
Old Master Gu saw that everyone had arrived and was about to sit down to rest, but then the announcent for boarding rang out.
******
The mont the plane landed, Old Master Gu’s eyes reddened as he rembered the days when he and his partner fought together on this land.
The hotel was booked in advance, and cars were arranged to pick them up as soon as they got off the plane.
Concerned that Old Master Gu couldn’t handle too much, they planned to rest for half a day and visit the cetery to pay their respects tomorrow morning.
It just so happened that Gu Qianru also wanted to personally take the two daughters-in-law to buy so offerings.
After all, since they were here, it wasn’t just to pay tribute to their foster mother; there were also Old Master Gu’s forr comrades-in-arms and the Huang family to consider, so there were quite a few things needed to be prepared. Having accompanied the group a few tis before, she had so experience.
The children were left with Lu Xinyi and Lu Yiting, and both Lu Yixuan and Lu Yichen also went out.
They didn’t want to draw attention, so everything was prepared by Shen Jianzhong’s n; they even left two cars here and arranged to send a dium-sized van over tomorrow morning.
After purchasing the items, Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen didn’t go straight back but walked through the streets of Chongqing and even visited the neighborhood they had temporarily stayed in before. Unfortunately, they couldn’t get in.
