Chapter 1493 - Great to Have You (53) (2/2)

“Would you like to go inside for a while?”

“Nah. Send my regards to Uncle and Auntie.”

She nodded with a smile and said, “Alright, the temperature is freezing. Hurry and get back inside the taxi. I’m going back in too.”

“Go ahead, I’ll leave after watching you go in.”

Long Xiaoxi refused. She opened the car door for him and closed it after he got inside. She then waved him goodbye and watched the car vanish out of sight gradually before going back home.

Her father had given her a massive number of missed calls. Long Xiaoxi entered and said to Long Tianze, “Daddy, are you going to send your bodyguards to abduct me if I had come home any later?”

“No, I would have gone to look for you myself.”

Long Xiaoxi sat down beside him and said, “I went to look for Brother Minhe and we went to the supermarket to get some groceries, whip up a meal, and had dinner together.”

“Minhe changed a lot too. Were you shocked to see him?”

“A little. However, I was more taken aback by what he said to me.”

“What did he say?”

Long Xiaoxi leaned back against the couch and said, “Brother Minhe said that he had been carrying a torch for me ever since we were children and that he had been waiting for me to come home. He asked for me to give him a chance.”

“What!?! Really?” Long Tianze asked in disbelief.

“Of course. I’ve agreed to give him a chance.”

Mei Yangyang said in approval, “Apart from his missing arms, Minhe is a really good catch. He’s a hardworking and grateful child. He’s Xiaoxi’s childhood friend, and it’s only right that Xiaoxi gives him a chance. Besides, I can guarantee that he’ll dote on Xiaoxi and treat her very well.”

“How smart of Mommy. Brother Minhe has become handsome and now has an alluring voice.”

Long Tianze conceded, “I don’t have any objections as long as you’re happy. Daddy and Mommy have always respected your decisions. You just returned home from abroad and you two should really interact more with each other. Just like your mother said, Minhe is a great kid. He’s trustworthy and reliable.”

Long Xiaoxi draped her arms around his neck and gave him a peck on his cheek. “Daddy, I actually missed you the most when I was abroad.”

Beaming with joy, Long Tianze said, “You missed me and yet you didn’t come home to visit me at all. You didn’t send me any photos or videos of you at all. I wished I could bring you home.”

“I was wrong. I won’t do it again.”

Long Tianze teased, “Look how upset your mother looks. She’s angry that you missed me the most.”

Long Xiaoxi let go of Long Tianze and pecked Mei Yangyang. “I missed you and Brother so much too, Mommy. I really missed all of you. However, I forced myself not to think about you guys because I would get tempted to come home.”

Long Tianze patted her hand and said, “Your hands have become thinner too. My baby is all grown up.”

They continued to chat until ten o’clock at night.

Lying down on the soft and spacious bed, Long Xiaoxi closed her eyes and opened them again. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time.

She lay in bed for an entire night without sleeping.

It began snowing at one o’clock in the morning.

She wrapped the blanket tightly around herself and leaned against the headboard.
