Chapter 224 Returning Home

After things were settled, Ling Yao and Ji Yuanming left the art troupe.

"Yao Yao, thank you so much for this time." Ji Yuanming looked at Ling Yao with gratitude. If it weren't for Yao Yao, Shi Yu would have suffered a great loss this time, and would have been plotted against by that Zhao Xiaolu. It's just a pity that Zhao Xiaolu was not expelled from the art troupe.

Zhao Xiaolu stayed with Shi Yu, and he always felt uneasy.

"You don't have to be so polite to your own people." Ling Yao smiled and shook her head.

"Yao Yao, I have to go on a mission tomorrow, can you help me take care of Shi Yu?" Ji Yuanming is most worried about Shi Yu now.

"No problem, just go ahead." Ling Yao responded cheerfully.

Ji Yuanming sent Ling Yao home and left.

Ling Yao closed the courtyard door and came to the kitchen. Chicken soup was simmering on the stove. She walked forward and opened the lid. Suddenly, a strong fragrance filled the whole house.

Some wild mushrooms were taken out of the space and put into the chicken soup. As time passed, the aroma of the chicken soup became stronger, like a warm spring breeze, drifting freely.

Several families next door smelled this tempting aroma and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

The food that was originally eaten became tasteless at this moment.

Ling Yao brought the chicken soup to the table and cooked two more dishes.

Just after she finished cooking, the courtyard door was pushed open and Lu Qingyun's tall and straight figure walked in.

"Yaoyao, I'm back."

When Ling Yao heard Lu Qingyun's voice, she rushed out of the house like a happy little bird and flew into Lu Qingyun's arms. "I'm back!"

Lu Qingyun smiled softly, opened his arms, gently hugged Ling Yao, and held her in his arms. He lowered his head, kissed her forehead, picked her up with a doting look, and strode into the house.

Ling Yao stretched out her hands and held Lu Qingyun's neck, her eyes as bright as stars looking at Lu Qingyun sparklingly, "I cooked chicken soup today, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, mixed cucumber and sweet and sour pork ribs."

"I smelled the fragrance from far away." Lu Qingyun gently put Ling Yao on the chair beside the table, and seeing that the rice had not been served yet, he said softly, "You sit down, I'll serve you the rice."

"Okay!" Ling Yao smiled and nodded, her eyes following Lu Qingyun's back, her face filled with a happy smile, as charming and beautiful as a blooming flower.

Not long after, Lu Qingyun came out with two bowls of steaming rice, handed one of them to Ling Yao, and then sat down on the chair opposite Ling Yao.

"Try this chicken soup, and these wild mushrooms are from the space." Ling Yao scooped a bowl of chicken soup for Lu Qingyun and handed it to him.

Lu Qingyun took a sip of the chicken soup, hesitated for a moment and said: "Yaoyao, I can't accompany you to go back to your parents' home tomorrow, I have an important task to deal with temporarily."

He looked at Ling Yao, his eyes full of guilt. He knew that going back to your parents' home was very important to Yao Yao, but as a soldier, he had to obey orders.

He originally wanted to spend more time with Yaoyao during this period, but he suddenly received an emergency notice from his superiors, asking him to lead his team to participate in a ten-day closed combat exercise.

Lingyao smiled with understanding, "It's okay, I can go back alone, I will tell my parents, and they won't blame you." Long before marrying Qingyun, she had already made full psychological preparations. She knew that Qingyun was not only her lover, but also a soldier with heavy responsibilities. He had his own special mission and responsibilities. Therefore, he could not accompany his wife all the time like other husbands.

"Yaoyao, I'm sorry!" Lu Qingyun reached out and held Lingyao's hand, staring at her with guilt in his eyes.

Ling Yao shook her head and smiled, "Don't worry, go ahead. If you miss me, you can find me in the space."

"Okay." Lu Qingyun nodded, his eyes full of reluctance.

The next day, before dawn, Lu Qingyun left the family compound.

Ling Yao woke up and found that Lu Qingyun had left, feeling a little disappointed.

She sat up and got out of bed.

She came to the kitchen and wanted to make some simple food. She opened the lid of the pot and found that breakfast was warm in the pot. A sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When Ling Xuemei and Ji Yanting saw Ling Yao coming back alone, they knew that Lu Qingyun must have gone on a mission, and they felt sorry for their daughter.

"Yaoyao, you have to understand Qingyun. He is a soldier, and this is his responsibility." Ji Yanting was afraid that Ling Yao was upset, so he comforted her. He was also a soldier, so he naturally understood soldiers the best. He hoped that his daughter could also understand the difficulties of her son-in-law and be a qualified military wife.

"Dad! I know, I don't blame him." Ling Yao smiled.

Ling Xuemei reached out and held Ling Yao's hand, patting it gently, "Yaoyao, you will start school in a few days, right? Qingyun will not be here, and your dad and I will take you there."

"No, I can go alone." Ling Yao didn't want to trouble her parents. Besides, Peking University was not far away, and there was a direct bus at the gate of the family compound. "You

are still polite to us, so it's settled. Your dad and I will take you there." Ling Xuemei rarely showed her dominance.

"Okay." Ling Yao smiled and nodded.

Ling Xuemei then showed a satisfied smile, "By the way, your father and I are going to attend the He family's graduation banquet tomorrow. Do you have time to go with us?" "

I'm not going." What Ling Yao disliked most was socializing.

"This graduation banquet is because the granddaughter of the He family was admitted to Peking University. In the future, you and her will be alumni of the same school. Why don't you go and get to know her?" Ling Xuemei wanted Ling Yao to meet more friends.

Ling Yao shook her head. She was really not interested.

Seeing that Ling Yao really didn't want to go, Ling Xuemei no longer forced her.

At this moment, a sudden phone ring broke the silence in the room.

Ji Yanting reached out and picked up the microphone on the table.

"Hello? Who is this?" His voice was deep and steady.

"Brother Ji, this is He Xueli!" The other side's voice came, with a bit of enthusiasm, "I called you this time because I heard that your daughter was admitted to Peking University just like my daughter. This is such a coincidence."

"Yes, it is true." Ji Yanting replied simply. He

Xueli laughed and continued, "Then this is a great fate! You must bring your daughter with you tomorrow, so that the two children can get to know each other. After all, they will be alumni in the future, and it is a good thing to get closer. Brother Ji, don't you agree? Hahaha..."

Ji Yanting turned his head and glanced at Ling Yao, with a flash of thought in his eyes.

Then he nodded slightly, "Okay, no problem."

"Then it's settled, I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow!" He Xueli smiled excitedly and hung up the phone.
