Fu Lan was startled: "Is it true?"
The two little ones nodded in unison: "That's right, that's right, it's Daddy."
"Open the door quickly!" Hongyu was so anxious that he jumped up and down, reaching for the door latch.
Fu Lan quickly pulled out the bolt.
The door creaked open.
Seeing the familiar, tall, and upright man standing outside the door, the two little ones burst into tears and rushed over, crying, "Daddy!"
Looking at his son, whom he hadn't seen for almost two years and who had grown quite a bit taller, Gao Mingcheng's eyes welled up with tears. He knelt down and hugged them tightly, saying, "I'm sorry, Dad is late coming home. I've made you and Mom suffer."
The two little ones nestled in their father's arms, both sobbing uncontrollably.
Gao Mingcheng comforted the two little ones and looked up at Fu Lan.
Fu Lan greeted Gao Mingcheng somewhat nervously: "Hello, brother-in-law, my name is Fu Lan, I am..."
Gao Mingcheng had already heard about Fu Lan's situation from Aunt Hao. Before she could finish speaking, he nodded slightly to her and said, "Thank you for taking care of Zhao Zhao and the three children during this time."
Fu Lan was embarrassed and shook her head, saying, "No, no, no, it was Sister Xing who saved me..."
"You're welcome. If it weren't for you here, it wouldn't be easy for Zhao Zhao to take care of three children all by herself," Gao Mingcheng said with a smile.
After saying that, he eagerly looked into the house, searching for that familiar figure, but he couldn't find her. He became worried, frowned, and asked, "Where's Zhaozhao?"
"Sister Xing went inside to change her clothes. I'll go call her for you." Fu Lan said, and was about to go find Xing Zhaozhao when Gao Mingcheng stopped her.
"No need, I can go by myself," Gao Mingcheng said. He was in his own home, looking for his wife; why would he need someone else to call him?
Before leaving, Gao Mingcheng stopped his two sons and introduced them to Ying Hongyi's family: "This is Uncle Ying, Dad's comrade-in-arms. This is Aunt Wen, and their daughter, Xiao Rongrong, who are here to visit. Please take good care of them for Dad. Dad will go see Mom first."
The two little ones nodded in unison, looked at Ying Hongyi's family, and greeted them obediently: "Uncle Ying, Aunt Wen, little Rongrong..."
Ying Hongyi and Wen Sinan chuckled, "Good boy."
Wen Sinan smiled and patted Hongyu's head: "Rongrong is older than you, you should call her Sister Rongrong."
Hongyu readily changed her address to "Sister Rongrong".
Hongfei's big, dark eyes were fixed on Rongrong, who was still being held in Ying Hongyi's arms. Was her name also Rongrong?
Gao Mingcheng only realized there were two more doors after entering the main room.
"Which way?" he asked Fu Lan, turning his head.
Fu Lan pointed to the one on her left: "Over there."
Gao Mingcheng pushed the door open and went straight in.
As soon as he entered the room, Gao Mingcheng saw a familiar figure standing by the bed, wearing a beautiful dress he had never seen before, which perfectly outlined her slender figure. Seeing this, a burning fire suddenly ignited in his heart and instantly spread to every part of his body.
He swallowed hard, turned around and quietly bolted the door, then walked towards Xing Zhaozhao.
Xing Zhaozhao stood with her back to the door, desperately trying to reach the zipper on her back. She could reach the zipper pull from above, but couldn't pull it down. She couldn't even reach the zipper pull from below. After struggling for a while, she still couldn't get her skirt off and was covered in sweat.
Just then, she heard footsteps behind her and thought it was Fu Lan. She continued to try to reach the zipper pull while calling out, "Xiao Lan, can you help me with the zipper? I can't reach it no matter what I do."
Footsteps quickly approached from behind, and a hand reached out, pinched the zipper, and pulled it down with a "ripping" sound.
Xing Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, it's done! I was so anxious..."
Before she could finish speaking, she felt a hot breath on the back of her neck, which made her skin crawl with goosebumps.
Xing Zhaozhao's heart sank; she immediately sensed something was wrong. It wasn't Fu Lan.
"You..." She turned around abruptly, but unexpectedly met a pair of familiar eyes filled with deep affection and passion, and her heart clenched involuntarily.
Without a second thought, she jumped onto him, hugged him tightly, and sobbed, "You're back, you're back, you're finally back..."
Gao Mingcheng hugged her tightly, as if trying to embed her entirely into his body. His voice was slightly hoarse as he said, "I'm back. I'm sorry for making you suffer at home..."
Xing Zhaozhao punched him lightly: "Good to know. Remember to make it up to me later..."
Gao Mingcheng chuckled softly, his burning lips brushing against her neck as he whispered, "Definitely..."
Touching the smooth fabric of her dress, Gao Mingcheng glanced down at it, a glint of something unsettling in his eyes, and asked, "Where did you get this dress?"
"Uh..." Xing Zhaozhao stammered, got off him, and tried to push him away, first changing her dress: "I'll tell you about this later..."
Gao Mingcheng held her tightly, refusing to let go: "But I want to hear it now." As he spoke, his hands roamed restlessly over her body, eventually landing on...
Xing Zhaozhao narrowed her eyes slightly: "What are you doing with your hands?"
"What do you think..." Gao Mingcheng lowered his head and nuzzled her.
"Gao Mingcheng!" Xing Zhaozhao couldn't help but raise her voice and shout angrily.
Outside the door, Hongyu took out the fruit he had just hidden in the kitchen and generously shared it with Ying Hongyi, Wen Sinan, and Xiao Rongrong, especially the newly acquainted Miss Rongrong.
Looking at the pieces of fruit, some familiar and some unfamiliar, Ying Hongyi couldn't help but exchange a surprised glance with Wen Sinan.
However, both of them tacitly chose to remain silent.
Fu Lan observed the reactions of the two people and her anxiety eased slightly. Hong Yu's actions had been too swift; she hadn't even had time to stop him. Now it seemed that the person Gao Mingcheng had brought home was trustworthy.
Just then, a furious shout came from the next room: "Gao Mingcheng!"
Everyone in the main room was immediately startled.
"What's wrong with Mom?" The two little ones were the first to be startled. They ran over and tried to push the door open, only to find it was locked. They became anxious, "Why can't we open it?"
"What's wrong?" Ying Hongyi walked over curiously.
Then, Gao Mingcheng's deep voice could be faintly heard from inside the house: "I'll just take a look..."
"Get lost..." Xing Zhaozhao cursed, followed by a muffled sound as if her mouth had been gagged.
Ying Hongyi: "..."
