The two embraced on the street for a long time until Ni Sitian's stomach rumbled, ruining this sentimental reunion.

She looked up shyly and said in a pitiful tone, "The airplane food was terrible. I haven't eaten anything all day."

Xu Tingchuan smiled, smoothed his wife's wind-blown hair, picked up her hat, dusted it off, put it back on her, and took her hand as they walked into the hotel.

I randomly picked a seat in the hotel restaurant and ordered a few stir-fries that could be served quickly.

She was starving, and with her head down, she worked hard and quickly to devour the food on her plate.

Xu Tingchuan didn't even touch his chopsticks, just staring at her intently, as if afraid she would disappear from his sight at any moment.

This feeling was like a dream. He searched for her for ten months, and all the signs told him that she had been buried in Qinghua Mountain, but he refused to believe it. Everyone thought he was crazy and unwilling to accept reality, but he never wavered.

Now that she has actually appeared in front of him on her own initiative, so vibrant and real, he has become anxious and insecure.

"Are you staring at me like that because you want to eat the ribs in my bowl?" Ni Sitian looked up and winked teasingly.

Xu Tingchuan took a tissue and gently wiped the corner of her mouth.

"Thank you, honey." Ni Sitian smiled slightly, then lowered her head to continue eating.

After dinner, Xu Tingchuan took Ni Sitian out, and didn't even want to let go of her hand while driving.

He remained unusually silent throughout the journey.

Ni Sitian realized something was wrong. From the moment she appeared, to when he had a meal with her, and now when he was driving, a full hour had passed, but he hadn't uttered a single word.

She felt uneasy. She was back, so why was he ignoring her?

Could it be that they know about that matter...?

Ni Sitian lowered her head, pressed her lips tightly together, and various thoughts popped into her mind.

The car stopped, and it took her a while to come to her senses. She saw that he was already standing outside the car, opening the door for her.

She glanced outside and realized they were already at the Xu family mansion. Suddenly, she felt timid again and was afraid to face Xu Haicheng.

Xu Tingchuan didn't give her any extra time to think and directly reached out and pulled her out of the car.

The first person you see at the Xu family mansion is Xiao Zhang, who is washing his car outside the garage.

Xiao Zhang stared wide-eyed, his face filled with surprise and disbelief.

Xu Tingchuan led her through the courtyard, where the gardeners and maids all stared wide-eyed, mouths agape in astonishment, just like Xiao Zhang.

Ni Sitian raised her eyes and looked at Xu Tingchuan's handsome profile. She then grasped his hand, wanting to gain some reassuring strength from him.

Xu Tingchuan glanced down at her, then led her up the steps of the main house.

Upon entering the living room, Butler Wang, who was directing the servants to remove the "double happiness" character, was stunned when he saw Ni Sitian and forgot to give instructions.

“Uncle Wang.” Ni Sitian smiled faintly at Butler Wang.

“Young Madam…” As soon as Butler Wang finished speaking, everyone turned around.

Some people even dropped the rags in their hands. Ni Sitian felt embarrassed by the stares from everyone and turned her face away to Xu Tingchuan.

Butler Wang snapped out of his daze and rushed upstairs, shouting as he ran, "Master, Madam, the young mistress is back! The young mistress is back!"

Ni Sitian smiled and said softly to Xu Tingchuan, "This is the first time I've known that Uncle Wang is so agile, running faster than a rabbit."
