A child? What child? Where did this child come from?
The Zhu family members looked at each other, all puzzled. In the end, Zhu Yanzhi and Zhao Cheng went out to see what was going on, while Zhu Qinghao, not wanting to be there, hid inside.
She heard it clearly: they led the person in.
She thought of a possibility and became a little excited. She couldn't help but take a step outside, but then she restrained herself.
What if it's not what I thought?
The next second, she heard Zhu Qingyun's exclamation, followed by suppressed sobs.
Now Zhu Qinghao was even more convinced that her guess was correct, and she could no longer hold back, so she took a few big steps out of the room.
When Zhu Qinghao finally saw the person being held by Wen Chuyi, who was clearly darker and thinner than she remembered, she couldn't hold back her tears and they instantly welled up.
He is alive, alive and well, and he has returned.
Zhu Qi'an turned around when he heard the noise and saw Zhu Qinghao. Since he was being held and couldn't leave, he could only grin at her.
When Zhu Qi'an returned, he looked like he had suffered a lot. His skin was cracked and his lips were so dry that they looked like they would bleed if they were pulled even slightly.
The whole family was still in shock and hadn't recovered yet. Wen Chuyi cried uncontrollably, and Zhu Qingyun leaned on Zhao Cheng, wiping away her tears.
The elderly couple from the Zhu family sat there, staring at their grandson again and again, as if they could never get enough of looking at him.
Whether it was joy or the release of long-standing worries, everyone's eyes seemed to be filled with tears, including Chen Liang, who very rationally brought Zhu Qi'an a bowl of water.
Seeing Chen Liang bring over the water, Wen Chuyi quickly let go of Zhu Qi'an so he could have a drink.
Having not seen her lover for so long, Wen Chuyi lost her usual composure and even forgot that she was heavily pregnant. Her movements were quite large, which frightened Zhu Qi'an.
"Ancestor! Slow down!"
In front of a room full of elders (except Zhu Qinghao), Zhu Qi'an shouted it out, making Wen Chuyi blush bright red and quickly hide back in his arms.
Zhu Qi'an smiled indulgently and patted her back gently.
"It's alright, it's alright. You're pregnant now, so you're our precious baby, and naturally my little darling too."
Everyone could tell that Wen Chuyi was embarrassed, and no one wanted to tease her. They all pretended not to have heard what Zhu Qi'an had said earlier.
"Um, Qi'an, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? We could have arranged for someone to pick you up!"
"That's right! Look at this child, walking back from the county town in this cold weather, how long must that have taken? If you had told us earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this!"
Seeing that everyone had moved on to other topics, Wen Chuyi blushed and stepped out of Zhu Qi'an's arms, picking up the water that was placed on the table for him to drink.
Zhu Qi'an was indeed thirsty, so he took the bowl of water and gulped it down in one go.
Seeing that he might still want to drink, Wen Chuyi picked up the bowl and went back to the kitchen to pour him more water.
Zhu Qi'an originally wanted to call her back, since there was no need for a pregnant woman to pour him water, but then he thought that his wife might want to escape from the scene, so he let her go.
After Wen Chuyi left, he answered the questions from the people in the room one by one.
"I decided to come at the last minute and left in a hurry because I wasn't sure if I could take the leave. Once I found out, I set off immediately."
I was thinking, the weather's not great, and if I actually sent a letter or telegram, it might not even arrive as quickly as I could, so I decided against it..."
As he spoke, Zhu Qi'an looked at his family members in the room again and again. He didn't choke up, but everyone could see that his eyes were red.
Then, with a thud, he knelt down in front of the two elders of the Zhu family.
