Xie Zhuo said he would arrive in the evening, and he really did arrive in the evening.
Xu Yan was reading with her three children after washing up when she heard the sound of a car driving up outside the gate, followed by faint voices.
I couldn't hear exactly what was said, but I could clearly hear Xie Zhuo's voice.
Kaixin was the first to react. As it barked and darted outside, Dabao and the others also started running outside with delighted expressions.
Xu Yan ended up being the last one.
"Third Uncle!"
"You're finally back!"
Da Bao rushed over and hugged Xie Zhuo's waist, "You've been gone for so long this time, I've missed you every day."
"You think of me every day, you're so good," Xie Zhu put down the suitcase in his hand and rubbed Da Bao's head.
“I miss you too, Third Uncle,” Xiao Bao hugged him back.
When Lin Dong ran over, there were no seats left, so he could only hug Da Bao and Xiao Bao together to hug Xie Zhuo.
Xu Shu watched from the side and clicked his tongue, "It feels like the three kids have grown taller in just a few months."
The three children then noticed someone else, let go of Xie Zhuo, and stood to the side, obediently greeting him, "Hello, Uncle."
"Hello to you all," Xu Shu said, then took out a large cardboard box from the car. "Here, these are toys and food that your uncle brought from Gangcheng for you three. See if you like them."
Although Da Bao and the others hadn't spent much time with Xu Shu, they had met quite often, and since they would occasionally stay with Chen Lihua for a couple of days, they weren't too polite to their uncle.
He gave it to them, and they thanked him and took it.
"Where's your third aunt? Does she know we're coming back today?" Xu Shu handed the suitcase to his three children and craned his neck to look into the yard.
“I know,” Xiao Bao said. “Third Aunt has been waiting all day.”
He had barely finished speaking when Xu Yan came out of the house.
It's been hot lately, so Xu Yan wore a light green dress and sandals.
Her long hair was still loosely braided into a fishtail braid and draped over her shoulders. Because she was going to sleep, her face was clean and without any makeup. But she was naturally striking in appearance, with naturally dark eyebrows and naturally red lips. Her long, thick, dark eyelashes drooped down and then lifted up, taking in Xie Zhuo's entire body.
Seeing that he had returned unharmed, she turned her attention to her brother standing to the side.
"I feel bad," Xu Shu noticed her little movements and sighed dramatically. "My sister has indeed become someone else's. She didn't even look at me first."
"The first person to see you is waiting for you at your house," Xie Zhuo glanced at him, then smiled broadly and went over to hug Xu Yan.
“I’m back,” he said.
Xu Shu clicked his tongue again.
Without lingering, they took Xie Zhuo's things down and placed them at the entrance of the courtyard, then told the driver in front to leave.
The driver probably hadn't seen couples hugging and kissing right at the gate before. As he drove away, he remarked, "People from big cities are different; they're so open about their feelings."
Xu Shu listened from the back seat, really wanting to retort that he had always been like that, and it had nothing to do with whether the city was big or small. In big cities, many people marry wives just to have sons.
There are very few men like him, whose wives can simply decide not to have children.
Xu Shu went to Gangcheng relatively late, after the New Year. When he first arrived, he thought Xie Zhuo was just doing some small business to make a living, but he didn't expect that he had already opened two or three companies.
I have several bodyguards with me whenever I go out.
Xu Shu, a country bumpkin from the mainland, only understood what it meant to be out of reach and to be surrounded by extravagant pleasures after being taken out for a tour on his first day.
He believes he has read enough books, interacted with many people in his daily life, and due to his personality, he has never experienced stage fright.
But when he went to a club with Xie Zhuo to discuss business, he still couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Of course, the main problem is that he can't speak the local dialect.
They couldn't even understand it.
But Xie Zhuo was different. He had only been there for less than two years, and his fluent Cantonese made people suspect that he was a local.
Xu Shu's initial surprise turned into admiration.
However, what pleased him most was Xie Zhuo's attitude towards other women.
He always had a smiling face in front of Xu Yan, and seemed to want to stick to her all the time. But when he was outside, he hardly smiled and kept a certain distance from everyone.
Aside from unavoidable social engagements, I mostly work at the company or stay home alone reading books, watching movies, and learning Cantonese.
Some people even secretly inquired through him whether Xie Zhuo liked men.
Xu Shuting's lips twitched slightly.
One day, seeing his tall, handsome face in the mirror, Xu Shu suddenly understood the gaze and meaning of that person that day, and moved out of Xie Zhuo's place to live on his own that very day.
Xie Zhuo was unaware of his thoughts and called Chen Lihua that afternoon to tell her about it.
Chen Lihua thought he was blinded by the allure of the world and wanted to move out to escape Xie Zhuo's supervision, so she immediately called him.
There is only one central idea.
"If you dare to mess around with women, your dad and I will break both your legs."
Xu Shu: "..."
Xu Shu didn't even stay in his rented house for one night before moving back to Xie Zhuo's place.
After Xu Shu left, the three children saw that their third uncle was still holding onto their third aunt and wouldn't let go, so they took the initiative to move the luggage at the door into the house.
My great-aunt usually goes to bed early, but today, while waiting for Xie Zhuo to come back, she turned on the radio to listen to storytelling. When she heard the commotion in the yard, she came out to ask what was going on.
Da Bao replied with something, and then she went back into the house.
Xie Zhuo hugged Xu Yan, inhaling her familiar and sweet scent, and only loosened his grip slightly after a long while. "Did you miss me?"
"I've been thinking about it," Xu Yan said. As Xie Zhuo let go and was about to straighten up, she reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, tilting her head to kiss his chin. "Didn't you say you were coming back last month? Why has it been so long?"
It was rare to hear Xu Yan say so frankly that she "missed him." Xie Zhuo looked around and, seeing that no one was on the road, hugged Xu Yan and hid in the shadows before finding her lips and kissing her.
A few minutes later, the two separated, and Xie Zhuo kissed Xu Yan's eye corner again.
"Old He also went to the port city. I chatted with him and discussed a cooperation before coming back, which took up a bit of time."
Xie Zhuo had already told Xu Yan about these things on the phone before, but at the time Xu Yan only heard Xie Zhuo say that he would be back later and didn't hear anything else.
Now that he had said it again, Xie Zhuo asked a few more questions in detail. He patiently repeated what Xie Zhuo had said on the phone before.
