In the airport waiting room, Dongfang Han sat on a chair with a bad look on his face.
Ever since he received a call from his father a few days ago asking him to return home, he has been feeling extremely uneasy.
The old man didn't explain why he was in such a hurry to get back to the capital. He just said he should hurry back as soon as possible and then hung up. He has been out of contact with me ever since.
He and his father had lost contact before, but this time he felt like something was going to happen.
On the plane, Dongfang Han felt the bumpy air pressure as the plane took off, but his thoughts flew far away.
He and his son have not seen each other for nearly eighteen years. Although Ah Xing would send him videos and photos every once in a while, the longing for his son's absence tormented him for nearly half his life.
Now, his son is also in the imperial capital, and his father’s situation forces him to consider the worst possible scenario.
The next day, the early warm winter sun slanted down from the window of the plane. After a night of flying, Dongfang Han finally landed in the imperial capital. The moment he stepped out of the airport, he felt mixed emotions. Before he could express his feelings too much, the phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, is this Mr. Dongfang Han? I've been ordered to pick you up."
A dull and serious male voice came from the phone. Dongfang Han didn't think much about it and naturally thought that it was someone sent by his father or son to pick him up.
When he saw the person coming, he couldn't help feeling a little confused. He saw a man with bronze skin, expressionless face, strong and upright body, who looked like a mercenary bodyguard. But he was very respectful and polite to him. After thinking for a moment, he followed him into the car.
The imperial capital was still bustling in the morning, with a constant stream of vehicles and people rushing to work, just like the memories of his youth. The car slowly drove out of the downtown area and stopped in front of an ancient courtyard. Relying on his memory, Dongfang Han remembered that this was the Jiang family in the imperial capital.
Did the old man reveal his identity? After seeing the destination, the anxiety along the way suddenly calmed down a lot, but there were still many doubts and confusions. Seeing someone waiting at the door, I hurriedly got out of the car.
The housekeeper was still waiting at the door. When he saw the visitor, he stepped forward to greet him. He then nodded slightly to Ying, who was driving, and thanked him for his hard work. He then led Dongfang Han into the house. Dongfang Han followed the housekeeper into the house and walked towards the living room, but he did not see his old man along the way.
Near the living room, I vaguely saw a woman pacing back and forth as if she was waiting for someone.
Luo Shuyi heard the sound and looked outside. The man's figure walked into her sight. Her memory slowly returned and the figure gradually became clearer. Luo Shuyi felt a sense of familiarity approaching her. She calmed herself down and smiled as she walked forward, calling out the name that had been forgotten for a long time: "Xiaohan! You're back?"
The moment Dongfang Han walked into the house, he heard the woman calling him, his pupils shrank slightly, and his name kept flashing through his mind.
His hanging hands trembled slightly, and he looked at the strange yet familiar woman in front of him without saying a word.
The girl in his memory who had been running and chasing him in the garden gradually became the same person before him. Suddenly, his body became stiff and he could not move. He could only stand there in a daze. The expression on his face changed from disbelief to ecstasy. Finally, he tentatively called out the name that had been hidden in his heart for many years: "Sister! Sister Lolo!"
However, there was no response from the woman.
There was a sound of people coming down the stairs. Jiang Shuning and Ah Xing supported the two old people and slowly walked down the stairs. Seeing the man standing at the door, Ah Xing's eyes sparkled. He completely forgot about the existence of other people and rushed over. "Dad! You're finally back!"
Dongfang Han looked at his son worriedly, and was shocked to see that he was not feeling unwell at all. He looked at Old Man Chu in surprise, as if asking what was going on!
Old Master Jiang was deeply moved when he saw the family reunion. However, he was still a little worried about his daughter-in-law's mood, so he spoke out to ease the atmosphere: "Xiao Han! Do you still recognize me?"
This question brought Dongfang Han back to his senses a little, and he replied respectfully, "Uncle Jiang."
A simple greeting was the most affirmative response to the old man, but the man's eyes were still on Luo Shuyi. Even his son, whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, was beside him and could not deprive him of this burning gaze.
On the other hand, Luo Shuyi couldn't say a word. She also kept looking at him, with a smile on her face, looking at the man in front of her. But as she smiled, her eyes became hazy and crystal tears slowly emerged, a mixture of joy and sadness.
