Shi Ke put Xiang Yang down and chided, “Why are you running in high heels? What if you fall?”
Xiang Yang put her arms around his waist and looked up at him, asking, “Why are you here? Didn’t you go on a mission? Didn’t they say that it would take three months? It’s only been over a month.”
Before he could answer, Xiang Yang hopped a few times and said, “I miss you so much! I’m so happy you’re here!”
Shi Ke hurriedly supported her and panickily uttered, “Don’t jump, honey, don’t! Be careful not to sprain your ankle!”
Xiang Yang didn’t care; she was too happy to worry about such things. Shi Ke hugged his restless wife and turned around to greet Xu Yun, “Mom, I’m back.”
Surrounded by a group of ladies, Xu Yun was as happy as a clam to see her son. “It’s good that you’re back! I’m glad! At least you’re thoughtful enough to rush back!”
The onlookers looked at the scene with different expressions. Some envied the love and happiness between Xu Yun’s son and her daughter-in-law, while others gloatingly thought, ‘Xu Yun always talked about her son, but it doesn’t matter howgreat he is; he only has eyes for his wife after he got married.’
Shi Nian, too, had pulled Yun Nan to his side. Shi Ke looked at Yun Nan and smiled. Shi Nian whispered something to her, and Yun Nan hastily greeted, “Big brother.”
“Yun Nan, thank you for helping Xiang Yang organize this exhibition,” Shi Ke thanked his sister-in-law, whom he had met for the first time. He could tell from his younger brother’s sappy expression when he looked at her that the brat only had eyes for his wife. Seeing him so blissful, Shi Ke felt relieved.
Throwing the Shi family’s business to his younger brother was the only time he had let someone down in his life. He finally felt at ease now that he saw Shi Nian was happy.
He had heard Xiang Yang passionately praise and talk about her idol before he’d even met his sister-in-law, so Shi Ke had an extremely good impression of Yun Nan—he would always agree with whatever and whoever his wife thought was good. Yun Nan’s clear eyes and smile reassured him; Xiang Yang and Shi Nian hadn’t misjudged her.
Shi Gao silently wiped away her tears. She could hear the sound of her heart shattering. It was so painful that her whole body was numb with it.
