Chapter 698: Homesickness
Although he felt the pain in his waist, Lu Yichen's expression did not change. He still had a faint smile on his face as he watched Zhong Nianyao's antics without any complaints.
Under that smile, Zhong Nianyao gradually began to lose her patience. Furthermore, she had no intention of doing anything else, so she quickly protected her hands.
"Don't tease me like this next time." She glared at Lu Yichen fiercely before continuing, "Otherwise I'll really get angry."
"Okay, okay." Lu Yichen promised quickly, "If I do it again, you will punish me severely."
Seeing Lu Yichen's fawning appearance, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but laugh. Then she looked at Zhong Mingxin and Baili Leyao again and said quietly, "After their wedding is over, things here will be almost done."
Hearing Zhong Nianyao say this suddenly, Lu Yichen's heart tightened and his brows furrowed, "Yao'er, if——"
“No ifs.”
Just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhong Nianyao, "We have to go back eventually. We've been away for too long, it's time to go back and take a look. Besides, what happened back then should have a result."
A hint of darkness flashed in Lu Yichen's eyes, "Yes! Some things should be settled, and some people should be dealt with."
"Oh, do you know who it is?" Zhong Nian Yao looked over and raised her eyebrows.
"I don't know yet." Lu Yichen shook his head and continued, "But we'll find out eventually. No matter who it is, I will never let him go."
"Even if that person is someone you value very much, will it be the same?" Zhong Nianyao suddenly asked, "When the time comes, will you be able to take action without hesitation?"
"I can."
Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nianyao, his eyes were deep and seemed to contain countless twinkling stars, making people immersed in them, unable to extricate themselves. "Yao'er, anyone who hurts you, no matter who it is, I will destroy his soul. In my life, the most important person is you."
"You are my bottom line. No matter who it is, as long as they step on my bottom line, I will never let them go."
For a moment, Zhong Nian Yao couldn't help but immerse herself in Lu Yichen's deep eyes. Listening to every word Lu Yichen said, a ripple appeared in Zhong Nian Yao's heart.
After Lu Yichen finished speaking, she smiled brightly at him and said, "Okay, I believe you."
The beautiful face looked even more dreamy because of the brilliant smile, and the whole person seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, firmly attracting everyone's attention.
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's smile, Lu Yichen couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
After the plane landed, someone came to pick them up soon.
Lu Yichen had already arranged everything, so they returned to the Zhong family quickly.
Standing at the door, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar place, Zhong Mingxin suddenly stood there, his hand suspended in mid-air, and did not press the doorbell for a long time.
In this world, he has been away from home for more than 20 years.
The Zhong family's house has been renovated countless times, but even so, the layout inside has not changed much.
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar home, all Zhong Mingxin felt left was a feeling of homesickness.
"No matter how the house is renovated, Grandpa and Grandma insist on not changing the overall layout." Zhong Nianyao's voice was calm, "They said that they can't let you come back and not recognize your own home."
After hearing what Zhong Nian Yao said, Zhong Mingxin's eyes couldn't help but turn red. When he looked at that home, his eyes were full of nostalgia.
Baili Leyao on the side couldn't help but shed tears, and then quietly said to Zhong Mingxin, "I'm sorry."
"Don't be silly, this has nothing to do with you." Zhong Mingxin reached out, put his arm around Baili Leyao's shoulders, and pulled her into his arms. "It's my fault. It was my negligence that led to everything that happened today."
"But now everything is over. We are reunited and I am back. Everything will be fine from now on."
Baili Leyao wiped the tears from her face and nodded, "It will be fine."
Seeing that Zhong Mingxin and Baili Leyao's emotions had gradually stabilized, Zhong Nianyao spoke, "Okay, let's go in quickly! Grandpa and grandma are still waiting inside!"
Zhong Mingxin took a deep breath and finally raised his hand to press the doorbell.
At this time, everyone in the living room of the Zhong family was waiting nervously.
Except for Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong, everyone from the first house was there, but only Zhong Mingyu was there from the second house.
Li Yiqiu has now been half-kicked out of the house, Zhong Mengxuan is still in prison, and her son is too young, so Zhong Mingyu is alone at home.
When Zhong Mingyu saw so many people gathered in the big house, he felt very envious.
He didn't know why he ended up like this. Before, he was a happy family of three.
However, he didn't hold a grudge against anyone. Although he had his own selfish motives, he also knew that Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan were largely responsible for the situation.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong's faces were filled with anxiety, but also joy and anticipation. Thinking that their youngest son, who had been missing for many years, had finally returned, they couldn't calm down.
When Zhong Nianyao said she was going to look for someone, they were very happy and had great hopes. However, deep down in their hearts, they were also prepared that they would not be able to find anyone.
After all, he has been missing for so many years. If he was really okay, how could he not contact his family!
However, they are still waiting with the greatest hope.
When they received the news from Zhong Nianyao that day, they could hardly believe their ears. They were in a daze as they sat here waiting until they received the news that they were coming back and would arrive today.
As for the brothers Zhong Minghao and Zhong Mingyu, their feelings were somewhat complicated.
My brother who has been missing for many years is not dead and will be home soon.
When they heard the news, they were still happy. However, in the past, Zhong Mingxin was better than them and had much greater business potential than them.
If Zhong Mingxin had not been missing for many years, he might have become the president of Zhong Group now.
They had worked so hard for so many years just for the inheritance of the Zhong family. But at this moment, Zhong Mingxin came back.
