Xieyang Village.

After a bumpy ride, Wang Qian finally arrived home.

In the courtyard, a group of village aunties and sisters-in-law were still working, and they all greeted Wang Qian warmly when they saw him.

He is now the boss of the company, and all these people are employees of the company; their status is obvious.

However, Wang Qian was very approachable and addressed everyone as they were.

After exchanging warm greetings, Wang Qian noticed that the door to his living room was open.

Lin Xiaoyu, dressed in casual clothes, came out carrying a baby, her charming face filled with excitement.

She stood at the doorway without saying a word, simply waiting for Wang Qian to approach.

Beside Lin Xiaoyu stood two elderly people. Although their faces were weathered and wrinkled, their smiles were kind and gentle.

Lin Xiaoyu, Wang Yuanguang, and Lu Aihua didn't say anything about Wang Qian's return, but the joy on their faces said it all.

"Dad, Mom, I'm home!"

Wang Qian stepped forward, nodded to the two elders, and then stretched out his hands to Lin Xiaoyu, "Come here, let me hug you."

"Huh? Oh... okay."

Lin Xiaoyu initially misunderstood, blushing with embarrassment. After realizing what she meant, she quickly handed Wang Niangui over to her.

At this moment, Wang Niangui's face was moist, and his eyes were clear and bright. When Wang Qian hugged him, he actually showed a faint smile, and there were two shallow dimples at the corners of his mouth. He was so cute that people couldn't help but love him.

"Little Niangui, call me Daddy!"

Wang Qian pulled Wang Niangui closer and whispered this sentence.

"Eh...ya..."

Wang Niangui just mumbled something vaguely.

But Wang Qian was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

Even if she can't call him "Dad" yet, at least she understands what he means and knows how to respond.

Recalling his previous life, he abandoned his family and children, ran away from home, and was gone for ten years. When he returned, his parents were dead, and his wife had taken their son and left for a distant place, disappearing without a trace.

Twenty years later, when he finally managed to find out the whereabouts of his wife and son, they treated him like a complete stranger.

He still remembers how his son, Wang Niangui, looked when he was in college; the features of his face were remarkably similar to his own now.

However, besides all that, the cold and wary look in Wang Niangui's eyes when facing his father in his previous life was like a knife to his heart.

Now, his son, Wang Niangui, is still just a baby, and he is showing a smile to his father.

For Wang Qian, this was like a blessing from heaven.

That smile surpassed all material luxury in the world, and it almost melted his heart.

"Let's go in first!"

Lin Xiaoyu's gentle voice came from the side.

Wang Qian snapped out of his daze, forcibly suppressed his complicated emotions, smiled, and carried his son into the living room.

"You haven't been back for days."

After Wang Qian sat down on the sofa, Lin Xiaoyu asked, "Have you been quite busy these past few days?"

"Yes, there were some unexpected issues, but it's okay, I've taken care of them."

Wang Qian gave a casual reply without elaborating.

He didn't want to bring work-related matters home, affecting his family's mood or disrupting family harmony.

Lin Xiaoyu didn't press the matter, but her delicate eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

But Wang Qian's attention was entirely focused on his son's rosy cheeks, so he naturally didn't notice.

Next, he had a meal with his family, chatted with his parents about everyday matters, and then took his son Wang Niangui and his wife Lin Xiaoyu for a walk.

It's autumn now, and the autumn breeze carries a hint of coolness.

The sunset painted the sky a deep red, and the entire world seemed to be bathed in its crimson glow. At that moment, everything in the world seemed to soften.

Lin Xiaoyu and Wang Qian walked side by side on the country road, but she remained silent throughout.

"Is something on your mind?"

Wang Qian couldn't help but ask a question.

Lin Xiaoyu seemed to wake from a dream and shook her head. "No, why would you ask that?"

"You seem distracted."

Wang Qian reached out and gently stroked Lin Xiaoyu's nose, then pressed, "Is it that you don't want to tell me, or is there something you're worried about?"

"No, don't overthink it."

Lin Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "I was just thinking, if life could always be this pleasant, with you by my and Xiao Niangui's side, without having to think about anything or do anything, just quietly enjoying the sunset and evening glow, how wonderful that would be."

"I want to too!"

Wang Qian nodded with deep feeling, "I have been working hard so that my parents, you and Xiao Niangui can live a peaceful life and no longer have to worry about food and clothing."

Lin Xiaoyu just smiled.

But that smile clearly carried a hint of gloom.

"Xiaoyu, why don't you go to the city and help me?"

Wang Qian added, "The company is growing bigger and bigger now. Xiao Chao has rented a dormitory building in the city. It's very spacious and has all kinds of living facilities. You can take Xiao Nian back there to live, and I can see you often."

"What about here?"

Lin Xiaoyu glanced in the direction of the factory building. "The factory building is already completed and will be put into use at any time. I'm afraid things will go wrong if I'm not there."

"This matter will eventually have to be handed over to someone else."

Wang Qian had already considered this point: "As long as we find a trustworthy person, we don't have to worry about our exclusive formula being leaked."

"But……"
