The light from the corridor shone in from inside, illuminating his profile and deepening the contours of his eyebrows and eyes.

He lowered his head slightly, looking at his phone. When he heard her footsteps, he paused slightly, then looked up at her.

Then, his originally serious and sharp eyebrows softened as if the warm spring sun melted the ice and snow.

This scene seems familiar, but it feels completely different.

The strangeness has become familiar, and astonishment and uneasiness have been replaced by surprise.

Ning Xi quickened her pace and walked forward. "You're back? Why are you standing here?"

And what answered her was an unreserved hug.

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a while, she also raised her hands and hugged him.

Qin Yan raised the corners of his mouth and held her tighter in his arms, greedily smelling the herbal scent on her body.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Ning Xi felt his strength and asked worriedly.

"No, I just want to take a break."

The moment he hugged her, Qin Yan's inner uneasiness was completely relieved.

Ning Xi didn't doubt him, because she could hear a hint of fatigue in his hoarse voice.

"Then let's go home, it's very hot outside." Although it is already the middle of September, the power of the autumn heat is still quite strong.

"...Okay." Qin Yan kissed her hair with a hint of affection before letting her go.

Then in the light from the corridor, Ning Xi saw the bloodshot under his eyes, "Did you encounter any troubles during your business trip? You don't seem to have had enough rest."

"It's okay, it's almost resolved." Qin Yan looked at her. The affairs of the branch office were still under control. He didn't get enough rest, but he was in a hurry to get back.

Ning Xi didn't understand his company's affairs, so after hearing him say that, she didn't ask any more questions. She just said, "Then go home. When did you come back?"

"just."

"Then why didn't you go in?"

"Aunt Fang said you haven't come back yet, so she waited here for a while." In fact, he had been waiting here for half an hour. If the bodyguard hadn't said that she was on her way back, he would definitely go to the hospital to find her.

"Oh...if I don't come back, will you still be waiting here?"

"No, I'll go home when I'm tired."

"Well, at least you're not stupid." Ning Xi gave him a joking look.

Qin Yan was speechless for a moment, but then curled the corners of his mouth.

Looking at the two of them talking and laughing as they walked towards the elevator, Assistant Li, who was hiding in the dark with his bodyguard feeding mosquitoes, breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally they got in, and they didn’t have to go hungry and feed mosquitoes here anymore.

Then, they winked at each other and silently asked each other, "Did you see what happened just now?"

It was Mr. Qin who hugged his wife first!

He was the one who held me first!

So their boss is really the one who has made his love come true!

When Shuo Shuo saw Ning Xi and Qin Yan coming back together, he was very surprised, and then ran towards them happily.

Seeing this, Ning Xi quickly opened her arms, ready to greet him, but saw him pass her directly and run towards Qin Yan.

Ning Xi: “…”

Ying, Xiaomajia doesn’t love her anymore, right?

Qin Yan caught Shuo Shuo and held him up while raising his eyebrows proudly at Ning Xi.

Then he asked Shuo Shuo: "Do you miss me?"

"Yeah, I do!" Shuo Shuo nodded, turned around and saw Ning Xi's pitiful expression, blinked, and said, "I miss my aunt too! My aunt is the best!"

He has become more cheerful recently, so he speaks more fluently and can speak in coherent sentences.

When Ning Xi heard what he said, she immediately laughed and blew him a kiss: "I miss you too, love you!"

Then, he raised his eyebrows at Qin Yan.

Look, Xiaomajia thinks I’m the best!

Qin Yan was also amused by her smug expression. Her eyebrows were gentle and her eyes were full of doting.

Aunt Fang, who was standing not far away and watching this scene, felt even more happy for him.

Young Master, I can finally have my own home and my own happiness.

If the master and mistress were still alive, they would rest in peace.

Although Shuo Shuo was very happy that Qin Yan was back, he was sensible enough not to cling to him for too long and soon got off him.

Ning Xi also hurriedly reminded: "Go wash up first and rest for a while. By the way, have you had dinner?"

"No, I came back in a hurry." Qin Yan put Shuo Shuo on the ground and looked at her.

There was originally an airplane meal on the plane, but he wanted to eat his wife's cooking, so he immediately added, "I want some plain noodles with a poached egg."

There was nothing Ning Xi didn't understand, but it just so happened that she hadn't eaten either, so it was just right for them to eat together!

Ning Xi went to the kitchen immediately.

Qin Yan's eyebrows curved again, but when Aunt Fang and Shuo Shuo looked over, he quickly returned to his serious state.

Aunt Fang couldn't help laughing. Since Ning Xi was cooking for him, she decided not to get involved. She just cleaned up and left.

Shuo Shuo looked at his aunt and uncle with a smile on his face, and always felt that he saw his parents in them.

"What are you laughing at?" Qin Yan noticed his smiling face and bent down to scratch his little nose.

Shuo Shuo giggled and hid for a moment and said, "Uncle, my dad used to look at my mom and laugh happily!

He said it was because he loved my mom so much!"

Shuo Shuo tilted his head, his big eyes smiling like crescent moons.

Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but look towards the kitchen. His brows softened again, "Well, he's right."

By the time Ning Xi finished making two bowls of noodles, Qin Yan had already finished showering and changed his clothes.

Shuo Shuo had already run to the sofa and was playing with the new toy Qin Yan brought him, a set of Lego.

Ning Xi was a little surprised when she saw his new toy. She looked at Qin Yan who had just come out of the room and asked, "Did you buy this for him?"

"Well, I just didn't know what kind of toys he would like, so I just picked one at random." He originally wanted to bring some specialties from City S, but he was in a hurry and couldn't make a good choice. He could only take the time to go to the Lego store over there, choose a set of building blocks suitable for Shuo Shuo's age group, and bring it back.

Seeing Shuo Shuo couldn't wait and was immersed in it, Ning Xi said, "You must like it very much. Thank you, Mr. Qin."

"You're welcome."

As they spoke, the two smiled at each other.

"Come and eat."

"good."

"You haven't eaten either?" When they reached the dining table, Qin Yan saw two bowls of noodles on it, raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"Well, after get off work I went to Mo You's house. She got into trouble and her mother was sent to the hospital, so I didn't have time to eat."

Because they were worried about Mo's mother, no one had eaten.

Qin Yan had heard about Mo's mother being admitted to the hospital, but he didn't know the specific reason. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"It's a long story." Ning Xi sighed, still a little angry.

Qin Yan listened quietly and attentively.
