"Wait a minute, don't get scared."
Wen Chenxi pretended to be mysterious and warned them with a smile.
Wen Jinyu took off his sunglasses and gave him a blank look. "Second brother, what are you doing? Being so secretive doesn't match your cool appearance at all."
Wen Chenxi said calmly, "I hope you will think so too."
"ha???"
Wen Chenxi and Wen Xi smiled at each other and made way for each other.
Wen Qinglian was standing near them and was the first to see Zhang Yayan. She was stunned, her eyes filled with confusion. "She... looks so familiar. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before."
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, her eyes widened, and she looked at the conspicuous photo frame placed in the living room. In it was a photo of Wen Qingshan and his wife Zhang Yayan. They were smiling like flowers and looked very loving.
Wen Qinglian covered her mouth in surprise, tears welling up in her eyes.
"she is…"
"What's wrong? Who on earth could make someone as emotionally stable as my eldest sister lose control of her expression?"
Wen Jinyu was curious and rushed over as well. The moment he saw Zhang Yayan, his expression went out of control and he couldn't help but shout, "Mom!"
Bang!
The red wine glass that Wen Qingshan was holding shattered on the ground. He ran to the door desperately and pushed his son away. The moment he saw Zhang Yayan, it seemed as if she finally appeared in front of him again after thousands of miles of separation.
"Ya Yan!"
Wen Qingshan's voice was hoarse as he called out the name he had missed for a long time with difficulty. His whole body was shaking uncontrollably. He wanted to raise his hands to hug her in his arms, but found that she had no entity at all.
"Qingshan, I'm back."
Zhang Yayan was standing at the door, looking at them with a smile, and said gently, "Children, Mommy misses you so much!"
Even Wen Jianghan, who was always cold and reserved, stood up suddenly and knocked over the coffee on the table.
After a while, they sat down in the restaurant. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Yayan, which made her feel embarrassed.
"It's getting late, stop looking at me. I can't run away. Eat your meal first and don't starve yourself."
Zhang Yayan floated beside Wen Qingshan and reminded them softly to eat.
"No, I have to look after my mother. What if she disappears the next moment?"
Wen Jinyu supported his head with both hands and stared at Zhang Yayan.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Now that your mother is back, she won't leave."
Wen Qingshan glared at him in annoyance, then looked at Zhang Yayan and said gently, "Right, Yayan."
Zhang Yayan was stunned, the smile on her face gradually disappearing. She lowered her eyes and said lightly, "I don't know, Qingshan. According to the procedure, I am already dead. If Ayan hadn't forced me to keep my soul, I would have only two paths: one is reincarnation, and the other is... my soul will be scattered."
"Now, Xiaoxi is helping me rebuild my soul, so I am reluctantly staying in this world. But after all, humans and ghosts are on different paths. I can't become a ghost and stay by your side forever."
The originally happy and cheerful atmosphere suddenly became dull, and everyone hung their heads and remained silent.
Wen Qingshan clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Yayan, you know I don't care. I'm even glad that your soul can return to me."
"Well, at least for the next few decades, you can stay with us and reunite as a family. That's enough."
Wen Jianghan looked at her seriously. Even her eldest son, who was always indifferent, looked at her with such pleading eyes. Zhang Yayan really couldn't say "no".
"Well, I don't know when this soul body of mine will be fully formed. I'm afraid it will take decades. I'll watch you grow up, get married, have children, and grow old... It doesn't seem so bad."
Zhang Yayan sighed lightly, which was considered a compromise.
The family was talking happily again. Zhang Yayan noticed that someone had remained silent. She couldn't help but look at her and said with a smile, "Qinglian, why are you silent? I've heard Xiaoxi talk a lot about you along the way. The Wen family hotel's business is supported by you. You are really amazing."
Wen Qinglian originally felt that she was not Zhang Yayan's biological daughter, and her inner inferiority complex was brought out, and she remained depressed and silent.
Now that Zhang Yayan praised her so much, her face turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she smiled embarrassedly. Seeing that the Wen family members were looking at her gently, the sense of disappointment in her heart was instantly buried, and she joined in the chat.
They chatted for a long time until midnight, then they went back to their rooms to rest, slightly drunk. This family gathering was undoubtedly the happiest moment for the whole family.
Although Wen Qingshan was reluctant to part with Zhang Yayan, he had to stay with Wen Xi to rebuild his soul, so he could only watch his wife and daughter go back to the room to rest.
After Wen Xi finished her shower and lay down on the bed, Zhang Yayan's soul was also lying next to her. It was rare for the mother and daughter to sleep together like this.
"Mom, do you have something you want to tell me?"
Wen Xi asked coquettishly.
Zhang Yayan raised her hand to brush the loose hair from her forehead and said with a smile, "Well, when everyone was here just now, I didn't dare to mention Ayan's affairs. They have a big prejudice against Ayan and will definitely not forgive Ayan easily, so I didn't dare to mention it."
Wen Xi couldn't help but mutter, "Mom told me that because she thinks I don't have much of a problem with Cheng Yan? In fact, I hate him too."
Zhang Yayan laughed and said, "Of course not. It's because my Xiaoxi will sincerely think about her mother. Those grown men definitely think differently from you. You are my little darling, my little princess."
"Mom, please stop flattering me."
The arc of Wen Xi's lips turned up more and more. He snorted and said in a slightly arrogant tone, "Just tell me what you want. I'll listen."
Zhang Yayan sighed softly and said, "Actually, Ayan is also a pitiful person. I originally had no memories of my previous life, but when my soul regained consciousness, my memories were revived..."
"In our previous life, we were both orphans, adopted by a Taoist temple. Our master passed on all his life's knowledge to us. Later, while going down the mountain to exorcise ghosts, he was torn to pieces by a vicious ghost! Ah Yan is slightly younger than me, and suffered a lot as a wanderer in his childhood. If I treated him well, he would treat me twice as well, and he became very dependent on me. After our master passed away, I would occasionally go down the mountain to exorcise ghosts, earning a little money to support ourselves. Although our life was poor, it was also happy."
"Later...someone wanted to buy our mountain, but we refused, so they did a lot of excessive things. Ayan's strength was also forced out at that time. Later, a Xuanmen family was willing to take him in and teach him more, but he refused for my sake. He said he...just wanted to protect me. It was then that I realized his feelings for me. In fact, in my previous life, I did have a vague affection for Ayan. Xiaoxi, in my previous life, I promised Ayan that as long as he came back from the mountain to exorcise the ghost, I would...marry him!"
