Chapter 698: Chapter 698: Nervous as One Approaches Ho
Feeling the pain around his waist, Lu Yichen’s expression did not change, still wearing a shallow smile as he watched Zhong Niangyao’s whimsical behavior, without any complaints.
Under such a smile, Zhong Niangyao gradually also found it hard to persist. Moreover, she had not intended to seriously do anything, so very soon she loosened her grip.
“Don’t tease like this again next ti,” she still glared fiercely at Lu Yichen before continuing, “Otherwise, I’ll really get angry.”
“Okay, okay, okay,” Lu Yichen quickly promised, “If I do it again, you can punish severely.”
Watching Lu Yichen’s flattering and cute deanor, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but laugh, then she looked toward Zhong Mingxin and Baili Lele again, and spoke in a low voice, “After their wedding is over, the matters here will be almost settled as well.”
Suddenly hearing such words from Zhong Niangyao, Lu Yichen’s heart tightened, and a frown appeared on his forehead, “Yaoyao, if—”
“There are no ifs.”
She interrupted Lu Yichen before he could finish, “We have to go back eventually. We’ve been away for too long; it’s ti to check in. Besides, the incident from that year should have a conclusion.”
A trace of gloom flickered in the depths of Lu Yichen’s eyes, “Yes! So things should be settled, so people should be dealt with.”
“Oh, do you know who it is?” Zhong Niangyao looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
“Not yet,” Lu Yichen shook his head, then continued, “But we will know eventually. Whoever it is, I definitely won’t let them off.”
“Even if that person is soone you value greatly, will it be the sa?” Zhong Niangyao suddenly asked, “When the ti cos, can you strike without hesitation?”
“I can.”
Lu Yichen looked into Zhong Niangyao’s eyes, deep and full of countless twinkling stars, so imrsive that one could not extricate themselves, “Yaoyao, anyone who hurts you, no matter who, I will obliterate their Divine Soul. In my life, the most important person is you.”
“You are my bottom line. No matter who it is, as long as they cross my bottom line, I absolutely won’t let them off.”
For a mont, Zhong Niangyao was imrsed in Lu Yichen’s profound gaze, and listening to his every word, ripples erged from the bottom of her heart.
After Lu Yichen finished speaking, she revealed a radiant smile toward him, “Good, I believe you.”
Her stunning face, because of that brilliant smile, seed even more dreamlike, as if covered in a layer of golden light, firmly capturing everyone’s attention.
Watching Zhong Niangyao’s smile, Lu Yichen’s expression beca a bit dazed.
After the plane landed, soon soone ca to pick them up.
Lu Yichen had everything arranged already, so it did not take long for them to return to the Zhong Family ho.
Standing at the door, looking at the familiar yet foreign place, Zhong Mingxin suddenly stood there, hand in midair, taking a long ti to press the doorbell.
He had been away from this ho for over twenty years in this world.
The Zhong Family residence had undergone countless renovations. But even so, the layout inside had not changed much.
Looking at this ho that was both familiar and foreign, what was left in Zhong Mingxin’s heart now was the timidity that cos from approaching ho.
“No matter how the house is renovated, Grandpa and Grandma insisted on not changing the main layout,” Zhong Niangyao’s gentle voice rose, “They said that they didn’t want you to co back and not recognize your own ho.”
After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Zhong Mingxin’s eyes reddened, and his gaze toward the ho was filled with longing.
Baili Lele beside him couldn’t help but shed tears, then quietly apologized to Zhong Mingxin.
“Don’t be silly, this has nothing to do with you.” Zhong Mingxin reached out, put his arm around Baili Lele’s shoulders, and pulled her into his embrace, “It’s my fault, my negligence and carelessness have led to all this.”
“But now, it’s all in the past, we’re reunited, and I have co back. Everything will be alright from now on.”
Baili Lele wiped the tears from her face and nodded, “It will be okay.”
Seeing that both Zhong Mingxin and Baili Lele’s emotions had gradually stabilized, Zhong Niangyao spoke, “Alright, let’s go in quickly! Grandpa and Grandma are still waiting inside!”
Zhong Mingxin took a deep breath and finally raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.
At this ti in the Zhong Family’s living room, everyone was anxiously waiting.
Apart from Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, everyone from the main branch was there; however, the secondary branch was only represented by Zhong Mingyu.
Li Yiqiu was now practically kicked out of the house, and Zhong ngxuan was still in prison, with a son too young, leaving only Zhong Mingyu present.
When he saw so many people from the main house together, Zhong Mingyu felt envious.
He didn’t understand how he ended up like this. In the past, he used to have a happy family of three as well.
However, he didn’t hold a grudge against anyone. Despite his selfishness, he knew that the situation today was largely attributed to Li Yiqiu and Zhong ngxuan.
Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong looked anxious, naturally filled with joy and anticipation as well. The thought of their youngest son, missing for many years, finally returning ho; they couldn’t stay calm.
When Zhong Niangyao said she was going to find soone, they were very happy and had great hopes. But deep down in their hearts, they were prepared for the possibility of not finding anyone.
After all, so many years had passed. If there truly were no issues, why would there be no contact with the family?
Nevertheless, they were waiting with the utmost hope.
The day they received the ssage from Zhong Niangyao, they almost couldn’t believe their ears. It wasn’t until they got word that they were coming back, arriving today, and they sat here waiting, that they felt sowhat surreal.
As for the feelings of the brothers Zhong Minghao and Zhong Mingyu, it was quite complicated.
Their youngest brother who had been missing for years wasn’t dead and was about to return ho.
When they heard the news, they were happy. However, Zhong Mingxin had always been more formidable than them, with much more potential in business too.
Had it not been for Zhong Mingxin’s disappearance all these years, he might have already beco the president of Zhong Group by now.
After striving for so many years, they had been aiming for the inheritance of Zhong Group. But now, at such a mont, Zhong Mingxin had returned.
