Now he truly understands why his father chose Xuanyuan Zhan instead of him and Xuanyuan Yu—because they were simply not worthy of each other!

Xuanyuan Duo patted Xuanyuan Zhi's shoulder reassuringly: "Oh, right, I also brought you a gift."

As if remembering something, Xuanyuan Duo pulled Xuanyuan Zhi up and headed out of the field.

He arrived by carriage, but since the area was all fields, the carriage couldn't get in, so it stopped outside and he walked in himself.

Xuanyuan Duo pulled Xuanyuan Zhi to the back of his carriage: "Go and see what gift I brought you."

Xuan Yuanzhi glanced at Xuan Yuanduo suspiciously, then stepped forward and carefully lifted the carriage curtain.

When Xuan Yuanzhi saw the two women, one big and one small, behind the carriage, his hands trembled slightly, and his eyes reddened in disbelief.

The moment Liu Hanyan saw Xuan Yuanzhi, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Father!" The little girl excitedly rushed into Xuanyuan Zhi's arms.

Xuanyuan Zhi hugged his daughter tightly, his eyes red with emotion: "Min'er, your father's precious darling."

The little girl hadn't seen Xuan Yuanzhi for so long, and she hugged him and burst into tears: "Father, why haven't you come back? Min'er misses you so much. I thought you didn't want Min'er and Mother anymore."

Xuan Yuanzhi's eyes were red, and he lovingly stroked the little girl's head: "How could I not? How could your father bear to abandon his precious darling!"

After crying for a long time, the little girl, whether from crying herself to exhaustion or from the long journey, soon fell asleep in Xuan Yuanzhi's arms.

Xuan Yuanzhi tenderly touched the little girl's face, then looked at Liu Hanyan and said, "You shouldn't have come. Go back in a few days."

Liu Hanyan's eyes immediately reddened, and she shook her head: "Since I'm here, I have no intention of going back."

Xuan Yuanzhi looked at her in shock: "I will never go back to the capital for the rest of my life. Are you going to stay here with me for the rest of your life?"

Liu Hanyan nodded firmly: "Without you, what good is it to live a good life in Kyoto? Besides, Min'er needs her father too. You have no idea how much Min'er misses you while you're gone!"

Finally, Liu Hanyan added softly, "I miss you too."

Xuanyuan Zhi's eyes reddened again. Looking at Liu Hanyan's earnest gaze and then at his sleeping daughter in his arms, he finally nodded: "Alright, then let's stay in the North together!"

"That's great!" Liu Hanyan excitedly threw herself into his arms. She was really afraid that he would refuse her or send her away!

With his wife and daughter in his arms, Xuan Yuanzhi finally let out the tears he had been holding back for so long.
