When Su Chen and Xia Niannian saw each other in the crowd.

In their pupils, only each other's shadow remained.

Even time seemed to stand still.

Four years have passed, countless days and nights, endless longing, all gathered in this affectionate gaze.

"Mommy, Mommy?"

Seeing Xia Niannian standing there in a daze, Su Huanhuan and Su Lele tugged at the hem of Xia Niannian's clothes with their delicate white hands.

Xia Niannian ignored the two little ones.

Upon seeing Su Chen approach, she could no longer suppress her longing.

She ran quickly to him and embraced him tightly.

now.

The two seemed to want to melt away all the longing and loneliness of the past four years in each other's warm embrace.

Tears of joy streamed freely down her cheeks.

"Brother Su Chen, I miss you so much. For the past four years, I have been thinking about you every single moment."

Xia Niannian murmured softly, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.

Su Chen heard Xia Niannian's trembling voice.

My heart ached even more.

He pulled the other person closer to him and hugged them even tighter.

"Xiao Nian, I miss you so much too. Xiao Nian, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry for making you wait for so long these past four years and for enduring so much hardship all by yourself."

Su Chen's tears were also flowing silently.

For four years, he failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and a father.

After meeting Xia Niannian.

The endless longing in his heart instantly transformed into deep guilt towards his wife.

"Brother Su Chen, Xiao Nian understands everything. As long as you come back, all the hardships will be worth it to see you."

Xia Niannian pressed her head tightly against Su Chen's chest, feeling the long-lost sound of his heartbeat.

At that moment, a happy smile appeared on her lips, and she felt a peace of mind she had never felt before.

Actually, it was four years ago.

Xia Niannian fully supported Su Chen's decision to go to Africa.

She was well aware that if Su Chen hadn't chosen to go to Africa back then, then, facing the suppression from Western countries, not only would Su Chen's research results be questioned by the international community.

If Xingchen Bio's development had been confined to China, it would never have achieved the strength it possesses today, enough to crush all pharmaceutical companies worldwide.

As the daughter of the Xia Group, she understands very well that the business world is like a battlefield.

If we don't fight back, they will definitely devour Xingchen Biotechnology until there's nothing left.

not to mention.

This is no longer just a competition between a few companies.

It is not a contest of strength between two countries.

What stands behind Su Chen is no longer just his own company, but also the image of a country.

so.

He has to go.

We can't not go.

Before Su Chen left, Xia Niannian concealed the fact that she was pregnant.

She feared that if she told Su Chen the truth, he might be bound by family responsibilities.

Six months after Su Chen went to Africa, he noticed Xia Niannian's unusual behavior during a video call.

When he learned that his girlfriend was already six months pregnant.

Su Chen's first thought was to return to China.

It was Xia Niannian's patient persuasion that made Su Chen resist the urge to return to China.

Because in Africa, almost every moment is a race against time.

The entire medical team assisting Africa rarely had time to rest. They were either studying pathogen samples in the laboratory or providing medical assistance in the epidemic area to save those suffering from the disease.

Time flies.

But from now on, they will never have to be separated again.

Gradually, the two loosened their embrace and gazed at each other affectionately.

Su Chen reached out his right hand and gently tucked a strand of hair that had fallen across Xia Niannian's cheek behind her ear. "Xia Niannian, you are still so beautiful, you haven't changed at all."

"Brother Su Chen, let me take a good look at you. You've lost weight and gotten darker. You must be having a hard time over there."

Xia Niannian looked at Su Chen, her face full of heartache.

During her four years in Africa, her brother Su Chen must have suffered a lot.

But every time he called, he would only tell me about his interesting experiences, never telling me what his difficult life in Africa was like.

"Xiao Nian, Xiao Nian, you're here."

After seeing the two being all lovey-dovey, the others slowly stepped forward.

After regaining my senses.

Su Chen and Xia Niannian then remembered that there were still many people watching them in the lounge.

After greeting the others.

Xia Niannian suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at the two little ones behind her, waving to them.

"Huanhuan, Lele, come here quickly, Daddy is right here."

On the way here, Su Huanhuan and Su Lele kept asking their dad to kiss them, hug them, and lift them up high.

This was something they had arranged in advance during a video call with Su Chen.

But now, when the two children see their father standing in front of them in person, they become somewhat timid.

Xia Niannian called out to him.

The two little ones slowly walked to Xia Niannian's side.

They clung tightly to their mother's clothes with their tiny hands, using Xia Niannian's long skirt to cover themselves, leaving only their little heads visible.

But Mengmeng's big, innocent eyes were fixed on Su Chen without blinking.

Seeing the expressions on the two little ones' faces, Xia Niannian found it rather amusing.

"Su Huanhuan, Su Lele, what's wrong with you two? Weren't you just looking for your dad?"

The two looked at their father, who was both familiar and unfamiliar.
