Once her body landed firmly and her eyes felt a strong light shining through them, Ye Jinghong raised her hand to shield her eyes and slowly opened them.
The first thing he saw was a young woman with slightly red eyes looking at him.
Ye Jinghong lowered her hand and closed her eyes. She was still dizzy from being spun around in the time tunnel. When she opened her eyes again, the woman was still looking at her with tears in her eyes.
It's not an illusion.
She cautiously touched her face first, then looked at her clothes. They were clothes from the modern era, which meant she was dressed in traditional clothing.
The other person was looking at her like that, so they must recognize her. But she had traveled to the future for many years. Who in ancient times would recognize her, especially such a young woman?
She scrutinized the woman's features more closely, and a thought she never dared to dream of arose within her. Suppressing the joy that almost burst from her heart, she tentatively asked, "Are you... Zhen'er?"
Upon closer inspection, the woman in front of me bears a resemblance to the face I had when I was six years old.
But how could she have so accurately traveled to Zhen'er's side? Was she really in a dream?
She pinched her thigh hard.
The woman nodded. "It's me."
A sharp pain shot through my leg—it wasn't a dream!
Ye Jinghong immediately sat up, suppressing his excitement, and asked again, "Are you really Ye Zhen?"
The woman nodded again.
Ye Jinghong's eyes instantly blurred with tears. She looked closely at Ye Zhen, "Are you doing well? Have you been bullied?"
“I used to be bullied, but when I was six years old, you brought me a master…”
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Zhen was embraced by Ye Jinghong. "Zhen'er, you really are my Zhen'er, my daughter. I'm so sorry."
"you……"
Ye Zhen was somewhat taken aback. "How did you know?"
How did her mother know about her background?
Ye Jinghong knew what she was asking, and choked up as she said, "Ye Yunheng's unusual behavior aroused my suspicion, but I haven't had time to investigate... I'm sorry, I was confused and made you suffer a lot."
It was a stupid question she asked. How could her daughter not have been bullied? If Ye Yunheng could harm her, how could the Ye family let Ye Zhen go in order to protect that secret?
Overwhelmed with guilt, Ye Jinghong could not express it in words. She could only hold Ye Zhen tightly, murmuring, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"What's the use of saying sorry?"
A male voice scoffed coldly.
Ye Jinghong's body trembled. This voice had appeared countless times in her dreams; it was so familiar.
She looked up and saw that it really was Shi Yan.
Shi Yan was with his daughter; had they already reunited?
Is this the Great Wei?
Jiu Niang was also there. Ye Jinghong's eyes showed shock. "Jiu Niang, are you alright?"
She remembered that Jiu Niang had fallen into the swamp while trying to save her.
Tears also streamed down Yin Jiuniang's face, but she shook her head with a smile, "I'm fine."
She didn't step forward or say much. She thought that Jinghong and her daughter had been separated for so many years, and the mother and daughter must have a lot to talk about.
Shi Yan felt a surge of irritation and simply turned his head away.
This woman left without saying goodbye back then, and now that they meet, she hasn't even said a word to him, but has already started showing concern for Yin Jiu Niang.
He's truly heartless.
Ye Jinghong was overwhelmed with emotion. She held Ye Zhen for a long time, feeling that everything was so real, before she finally believed that she had returned to her daughter's side.
Her daughter is alive, her good friend Jiu Niang is alive, and she can see Shi Yan one more time. She is content.
Her emotions gradually calmed down.
Ye Zhen also recovered from her excitement, "Mother, how did you get back?"
Her great-grandparents only said that she could wait for her mother here, but they didn't go into details until she saw her mother being ejected from the broad tree trunk.
Father reacted quickly and caught Mother immediately, but then awkwardly put her down on the ground.
Ye Jinghong was still dazed and didn't know that Shi Yan had caught her. When her daughter asked a question, she told her about the clues she had discovered in her previous life and how she had followed them all the way.
She looked around but couldn't see the two people. "Didn't you see them?"
Shi Yan is here with the child, is he here to pick up his brother and sister-in-law?
Ye Zhen shook his head. "We didn't see your uncle and the others. We came here specifically to wait for you. Your great-grandparents said you would be back today. They were just here, but they had to leave temporarily."
"wait for me?"
Ye Jinghong was stunned for a moment.
Shi Yan and his daughter were actually waiting for her?
How could they know she would come back?
Did Shi Yan and his wife know her thoughts beforehand and deliberately reveal the time tunnel to her?
Or perhaps their guidance for her began with that photograph in the camera?
Yes, they have extraordinary abilities, which is why they knew she would return today...
Thinking of this, she hurriedly asked, "Is your father going to marry another woman?"
She didn't lower her voice intentionally, and Shi Yan turned around abruptly to look at her, a surge of anger flashing in his eyes.
What nonsense is this woman spouting? There are no other women; he is clearly chaste.
Ye Zhen also realized that it must have been his uncle and the others who brought his mother back, and his mother's question was probably due to a misunderstanding.
He shook his head and said, "My father has never married or had any other woman all these years."
Her father clearly cared about her mother and didn't want any misunderstandings between them, but Ye Zhen didn't expect her mother to be so straightforward.
She walked straight up to Shi Yan, hugged him, and said, "Shi Yan, I miss you so much, so very much."
Ye Jinghong thought that since he had no other woman, she should tell him her feelings. She was not willing to wait a moment longer for this belated confession.
Shi Yan, who was still angry, froze when he was hugged, and his face turned red. "You...you...what are you doing? There are still many people here."
