Qi Shengzhi parked his car outside the Yue Mansion and honked the horn, but no one came to open the door.
"It's getting late now. They may have gone to bed. Come back tomorrow."
Qi Shengzhi didn't think too much and prepared to start the car and go home.
But Yue Feiying felt something strange. When she was at home, Yue Jialiang always lived in E country time. It was not even nine o'clock yet, so it was impossible for him to go to bed so early.
Even if he slept, what about the babysitter and the maid?
"Wait a moment."
Full of suspicion, Yue Feiying got out of the car and walked to the gate. He pulled the door knocker and knocked on the door. The crisp and loud knocking sound was particularly clear in the silent night.
Not long after, a light came on in a window on the first floor.
After a moment, a familiar voice came from far away:
“Here I come!”
When Yue Feiying heard the voice of Butler Wang coming from the house, her frown relaxed a little.
It has been autumn for several days now, and the weather is gradually getting cooler, with the temperature dropping even faster at night.
When Butler Wang came out to open the door, he was wearing a thin woolen coat, one hand tucked into his sleeve, and cautiously opened the door a crack:
"Who is it at this late hour?"
"Uncle Wang, it's me."
Recognizing Yue Feiying's voice, Butler Wang was filled with surprise. He hurriedly opened the door and saw that it was indeed the young lady and her husband standing outside. He immediately shouted excitedly:
"Oh, Miss, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I could have waited for you and your uncle at the door!"
"Look, I've made you and your uncle wait outside the door for so long. Come in quickly, don't get cold."
Seeing that Qi Shengzhi was still holding something in his hand, Butler Wang hurried to help take it.
Then I heard Yue Feiying say:
"Uncle Wang, these supplements were given to my dad by my father-in-law. They can't be kept for long. Ask Mother Luo to stew a bowl of bird's nest for him every morning. Eating sea cucumber every day is too nutritious, so just make it every other day."
Hearing her say this, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across Butler Wang's face. He paused for two seconds before smiling and agreeing:
"I see, Miss. Thank you, my dear. The master will be very happy to know that you and your uncle are back!"
Hearing him mention Yue Jialiang, Yue Feiying felt a little strange:
"My dad went to bed so early today?"
Steward Wang smiled and nodded:
"My husband said that early to bed and early to rise is good for health. I've been going to bed earlier lately, and I really look more energetic!"
Before the two entered the house, he turned on the lights in the living room and asked them to sit on the sofa.
"Miss, uncle, please sit down for a moment. I'll go call the master!"
After saying that, he hurried back to the workers' room downstairs to wake up his wife to boil water and make tea.
Seeing Butler Wang busying around like a top, Yue Feiying's brows furrowed more and more. It had been a while since she entered the room, but apart from Butler Wang and Aunt Wang, there was no one else in sight.
It doesn’t make sense that no one heard the noise. Were they all asleep?
Qi Shengzhi also felt something was strange. The last time he came, the Yue Mansion had more servants than the Qi family. Where did all these people go today?
Not long after, Yue Jialiang's hearty laughter was heard from the second floor, and hurried footsteps were heard from the stairwell. It seemed that he missed his daughter particularly badly.
Sure enough, Yue Jialiang hurried downstairs wearing a long nightgown. When he saw Yue Feiying, he was so happy that tears filled his eyes. He stretched out his arms from a distance to hug her.
"Yingying, you really gave Dad a big surprise! Just now, Lao Wang woke me up and told me that you and Shengzhi were here. I thought I was dreaming!"
Facing Yue Jialiang's overly excited reaction, Yue Feiying's face trembled, but in the end she still reached out and hugged him back with a look of disgust:
"Dad...you're exaggerating. I've only been away from home for a few days, and you're making it seem like I've been gone for years..."
Holding his sweet and soft daughter in his arms and listening to her familiar complaints, Yue Jialiang felt his heart filled with happiness. His face was filled with uncontrollable joy, but he couldn't help but worry:
"Why are you here at this hour? What's going on?"
"Oh my god, why is your face so thin? Is it because you can't get used to eating out?"
“…”
Yue Jialiang held Yue Feiying tightly in his arms, looking at her over and over again, chattering incessantly in her ear. Butler Wang and his wife watched happily from the side, obviously accustomed to Yue Jialiang's doting on Yue Feiying.
Qi Shengzhi was a little jealous watching from the side. This was exactly what he imagined going home would be like.
Whether it was the heartfelt surprise and warm greeting of Butler Wang, his wife smiling as she poured tea and cut fruit for the two of them, or Yue Jialiang's unconcealed joy and concern for every detail, all of them made him feel the warmth brought by a home and family.
This kind of home feels like a real home, and it makes people want to go home...
Yue Feiying saw Yue Jialiang's eyes reddening again as he spoke, and quickly interrupted his overly emotional expression:
"Okay, okay, I'm eating well outside, don't worry about it! These are the supplements that my father-in-law asked me to bring you, remember to eat them!"
When Yue Feiying mentioned Qi Mingyuan, Yue Jialiang seemed to notice that Qi Shengzhi was standing next to him. He finally let go of Yue Feiying and went over to give this neglected son-in-law a solid hug:
"Shengzhi is here too! I'm so happy today. Thank your father for me!"
Qi Shengzhi couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been hugged like this by someone of his father's generation. Even though it was only a short moment, he couldn't help but feel happy. He smiled and replied:
