That day, after getting off work, Su He packed her things, said goodbye to her colleagues, and headed outside.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw a familiar figure.

She was initially skeptical, thinking she had misread it. She rubbed her eyes and was about to look again when she was suddenly embraced.

A familiar scent instantly enveloped her.

However, they were released very quickly.

Su He looked up and saw the face she had been longing for day and night.

Lin Jingyan looked much thinner and more haggard than when he left, with large dark circles under his eyes.

At this moment, her eyes were also filled with longing, but because of the presence of others, she refrained from any more intimate actions.

He simply said, "Xiao He, I'm back!"

Su He realized what was happening and smiled at him, "You're back. It's good to be back."

Lin Jingyan pursed his lips, his eyes welling up with tears, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry I came back late. You must have had a hard time these past few days."

Su He shook her head. "No, I'm fine. Everything's fine. Don't worry."

But when Lin Jingyan saw her big belly and clumsy steps, he knew all too well how hard she had been working.

His heart ached even more, but he didn't say much. He walked to the side and helped her up, saying, "Let's go, we'll talk about it when we get back."

"Um."

Su He nodded. With him by her side, she was very happy. She smiled and asked, "Why did you come back so suddenly? You didn't even call. Didn't you get enough rest? You look very tired."

Lin Jingyan smiled and explained, "There are no phones where we work, so we went straight to the train after we left. I probably didn't rest well on the train, but I'll be fine after a nap."

Su He certainly didn't believe that. If it was just because she hadn't rested well, how could she have lost so much weight?

But knowing he wouldn't tell her no matter how much she asked, she pouted and said, "Then you'd better take good care of yourself when you come back, otherwise you won't be handsome anymore, and I won't want to look at you."

Lin Jingyan choked for a moment, and could only smile helplessly in the end. He had long known that his wife liked his face the most.

It seems I really need to take better care of myself.

Su He was unaware of Lin Jingyan's thoughts, and the two talked about their respective situations during the journey.

Of course, he didn't go into details about what Lin Jingyan did this time, nor did he tell him about Su He's undercover mission, only that she had gone on a business trip.

Lin Jingyan guessed that he had some idea, but didn't ask any more questions. He just felt even more heartbroken.

When the two returned home, Grandma Su was especially happy.

With her granddaughter about to give birth and her grandson-in-law not around, she was really worried. Now that he's back, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When Su He entered the house, she saw Lin Jingyan's luggage, which was neatly arranged and had not been opened, so he probably went to pick her up as soon as he returned.

Her heart felt warm; in short, he was back, and she felt relieved.

The family had a happy dinner that evening, and Yuan Yuan received a gift from his father, which he happily held to sleep.

Back in the room, Lin Jingyan, as usual, fetched water for her to wash her feet. However, upon seeing her feet, which were swollen like radishes, his eyes welled up with tears of heartache.

Besides feeling guilty, I was also worried. I silently washed her feet and dried them clean. When I came back with the water, I gently massaged her legs.

Su He felt very comfortable being massaged.

Although she was in good health, carrying twins was still quite strenuous for her, especially considering she had been undercover for so long without anyone to take care of her, which must have made things even harder.

However, she endured all this suffering herself without telling him, but she guessed that Lin Jingyan had already guessed it.
