Chapter 545 - Chapter 545: Chapter 552: Cant Stop (2/2)

“mother, what about brother xing and the others? are they asleep? i want to go see the children,” su wenyue said eagerly, her heart set on seeing them.

“yes, mother, have the servants take us to see the children. lady yue has been thinking about them all the way here, and she’s been talking about nothing but them. after so many days, they must have changed quite a bit, i assume?” although han yu did not constantly talk about the children as su wenyue did, he missed them just as deeply, for they were his own flesh and blood.

“children are the apple of their parents’ eyes; your longing for them is only natural. they are all doing well, though they’ve been calling for their father and mother from time to time, which is heart-wrenching. if they knew you were here, they’d be over the moon. go see them quickly; we won’t disturb your family reunion. after you’ve seen the children, rest early, and we can talk more tomorrow,” madam su said.

madam su didn’t want to miss more time with her daughter, but she also knew her daughter must be exhausted from the journey and showed understanding by holding back.

“alright, i understand, mother. you should rest early too, don’t disrupt your sleep,” su wenyue replied.

in their room, the three young children were not asleep as the adults had said; instead, they lay in one bed, whispering to each other.

“big brother, is what grandfather and grandmother said true? is mother really alright, and she will come see us soon?” sister yu asked uncertainly.

brother xing patted his sister’s head soothingly: “of course, it’s true. mother is a good person, and heaven’s protection allowed her to survive certain death. we just need to wait patiently, and she will come see us soon; mother loves us too much to delay,” he reassured.

“but we’ve been waiting for so long. how much longer must we wait? i really miss mother,” brother chen said, having a harder time being convinced than sister yu. mentioning mother filled his eyes with tears that were on the brink of falling but he held them back. mother had said that a man should not shed tears lightly, so he must be good and obedient for mother to come back sooner.

“i don’t know how much longer, but mother loves us the most and won’t let us wait for too long,” brother xing comforted his siblings and himself. at least their mother was alive, and as long as she lived, there would come a day of reunion. they couldn’t rush.

“big brother, do you hear that noise outside? it’s so noisy,” sister yu said.

the three little ones were sharing their thoughts when they heard a commotion outside, seemingly indicative of some event. however, being young, they were not expected to get involved in adult matters.

“i don’t know. it’s none of our concern. we should sleep now, and maybe when we wake up, mother will be back,” brother xing suggested calmly.

“but big brother, it sounds like someone said our parents have come back,” brother chen said with sharp ears.

“are you serious? you didn’t mishear?” brother xing, who initially was uninterested, immediately perked up, his eyes shining with excitement.

“i didn’t hear it clearly; it was faint and intermittent. big brother, let’s go outside and see if our parents have really come back,” brother chen proposed.
