The couple hugged each other tightly.
Tears are like a flood that broke through the dam,
Flowing uncontrollably...
Wet each other's shoulders.
It seemed as if he wanted to put away the longing, self-blame, pain, and despair after countless dashed hopes over the past twenty years...
It was all vented out.
For a moment,
The only sound in the entire house was Gu Yunqiao's sobbing cry, echoing in the room.
Intertwined with the sound of rain outside the window, it seems even more sad and desolate.
Those heart-wrenching cries...
Those tears filled with worry...
That was the heavy burden that had been accumulating deep in their hearts for more than 20 years.
Gu Yunqiao cried so hard that she couldn't speak.
She pursed her lips tightly.
But the tears still flowed.
………
Time passes by minute by minute,
I don't know how long it took,
It seems like a century is so long...
Gu Yunqiao's hoarse and broken voice rang in Shen Jingtian's ears.
: "Our daughter... where is she now...?"
Just a few words,
Every word was said with great difficulty.
During this period, he choked and paused several times.
It's heartbreaking to hear.
Shen Jingtian looked at his wife with distressed eyes.
There was an inextricable obscurity in those watery eyes.
He answered slowly,
"Our daughter is still in Shanghai Province."
Shen Jingtian took a deep breath, tried to remain calm, and continued,
"But Xiao Huan has already made an appointment with our granddaughter."
"Five days later, in Nanshi, Jiang Province, our two families will meet."
"When the time comes... not only will you be able to see our daughter, but you'll also be able to see the lovely granddaughter she'll give birth to."
Shen Jingtian’s hoarse voice sounded unusually gentle.
Finally...
I couldn't suppress my excitement again.
Gu Yunqiao just cried heartily.
My emotions have gradually calmed down by now.
She gently wiped away the tears on her face, and her eyes were filled with longing and anticipation for reunion.
She whispered softly in her husband's ear,
: "Well...we will be able to see our daughter soon."
Gu Yunqiao said,
I was a little excited, but also a little nervous.
Suddenly, I seemed to think of something important...
She paused.
Then he said with a look of trepidation,
"Our granddaughter...?"
: "How old is she now...?"
Gu Yunqiao's low voice was filled with a hint of panic.
"You said...we haven't found them for so many years...would she dislike us?"
Gu Yunqiao was a little flustered.
It felt like an invisible hand was stirring things around in my mind.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy her mind became.
I feel homesick when I’m close to home…
They failed to protect their daughter and did not find her home in time.
I also didn't get to see her grow up, get married, and have children.
They were not even able to participate in the growth of their granddaughter.
Gu Yunqiao's face showed deep worry.
He exchanged glances with Shen Jingtian.
They both saw regret and loneliness in each other's eyes, as well as a bit of heartache.
Shen Jingtian knew his wife's uneasiness very well.
He pursed his dry lips.
He comforted her softly,
: "Don't think too much...our granddaughter will definitely like you."
His wife was gentle and kind throughout her life.
Treat your children with gentleness, patience, and dedication.
He is never stingy in helping his neighbors.
How could anyone not like such a wonderful person!
But having said that…
But in Shen Jingtian's heart... he was actually more nervous and anxious than his wife.
