Chapter 694: Chapter 694 Excitement

Zhong Niangyao nodded in agreement while speaking, "That’s why I said Zhong Mingxin is really lucky! He hasn’t done anything, yet the Baili Family is already willing to start accepting him. Despite so many years of separation, they have ultimately come together."

Baili Hengyuan had already loosened up, and naturally, the other members of the Baili Family couldn’t possibly object.

While there would probably still be some difficulties, this was already very good for Zhong Mingxin.

Lu Yichen, however, shook his head, "If he could choose, Zhong Mingxin wouldn’t have wanted to be separated from his lover for so many years."

Just like him, he couldn’t tolerate Zhong Niangyao leaving him, even less tolerate any reason for their separation. Having experienced the pain of being apart, he could understand Zhong Mingxin’s feelings.

Zhong Niangyao wasn’t going to object either; she smiled and said, "I know, but the separation of many years is already an established fact that can’t be changed. Now that he has returned, he can continue to be with the person he loves and will be blessed by his relatives. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?"

Lu Yichen nodded, then asked, "Shall we go over now?"

"Let’s wait a bit longer!" Zhong Niangyao took Lu Yichen’s hand with a beaming smile, "Zhong Mingxin and Baili Lele are reuniting after a long time; they are having a heart-to-heart. It’s better for us not to be a nuisance by interrupting."

"As for us, let’s continue our stroll here!"

Lu Yichen was of course happy to spend time alone with Zhong Niangyao.

About an hour later, Zhong Niangyao spoke up, "It has been so long, let’s go back and tell Zhong Mingxin and Baili Lele! After more than an hour, they must have had enough time to share what’s in their hearts."

Lu Yichen couldn’t help but chuckle at that, but when he caught the displeased look from Zhong Niangyao, he immediately stopped his laughter and seriously said, "You’re right, let’s go now!"

This time, it was Zhong Niangyao who couldn’t help but react, but she didn’t continue to say anything.

Soon, the two of them arrived again at Baili Lele’s room.

After knocking on the door and receiving permission from inside, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao walked in together.

Upon entering, they saw that both Zhong Mingxin and Baili Lele had swollen eyes. Clearly, they had shed quite a few tears just a moment ago.

"Niannao, you’re here!" Baili Lele came over to her side, took Zhong Niangyao’s hand, and tears overflowed from her eyes, "Thank you, I really appreciate you."

If it weren’t for their daughter Zhong Niangyao, she might have never woken up. As for seeing Zhong Mingxin again, that was something she had never even imagined.

"Yes!" Zhong Mingxin also stood up and came to face Zhong Niangyao, then pulled Baili Lele to his side, "Niannao, although you are our daughter, you had no obligation to save us. Over the years, we have never fulfilled our responsibilities as parents. Now you’ve given us so much help; we are truly grateful. We’re also delighted because you’re truly outstanding."

Facing these praises, Zhong Niangyao kept her composure and spoke calmly, "You are the ones who brought me into this world, so all of this is what I should do. As long as you both are well, that’s enough."

"Right, the reason I came now is to tell you something. Grandpa just mentioned having dinner with Dad."

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Zhong Mingxin was nearly overwhelmed, "Niannao, are you serious?"

His memory was still fixated on the last time he met when Baili Hengyuan had not shown him a kind face. So, hearing this invitation from Baili Hengyuan now, he could hardly believe his own ears.

"Of course, it’s true!" Zhong Niangyao affirmed, "Having been so many years, Grandpa must have loosened up by now."

Zhong Mingxin was so emotional that he could barely speak. He didn’t expect to have such a surprise so soon after his return. They had just been discussing how to persuade Baili Hengyuan.

Happiness had come so unexpectedly that he could barely cope with it.

Baili Lele was also very happy, though not as exaggerated as Zhong Mingxin, her face brimming with a joyful smile.

She had never dreamt that one day she could have her husband and daughter by her side. Looking back, even though she had been in a comatose state for so many years, the life she was living upon awakening was a happy one. She felt it was all worth it.

Seeing the joy on Zhong Mingxin and Baili Lele’s faces, Zhong Niangyao seemed to have been touched as well, the corners of her lips involuntarily lifting into a gentle smile, adding a softness to her already breathtakingly beautiful face, making her appear even more stunning. She seemed to radiate a gentle glow, looking ethereal and dreamlike.

Lu Yichen, by her side, seeing Zhong Niangyao, couldn’t help but tighten his grip on her hand. It was as if through this gesture, he was determined to hold on to Zhong Niangyao.

"What’s the matter?"

Feeling the force from his hand, Zhong Niangyao turned her head to look at Lu Yichen, blinking, "Are you not feeling well?"

In Lu Yichen’s eyes, the soft light that surrounded Zhong Niangyao vanished instantly, bringing her back to reality, which calmed his somewhat restless heart.

"It’s nothing."

Zhong Niangyao felt that Lu Yichen was acting a bit strange, but she couldn’t pinpoint what it was. And since Lu Yichen had already stated it was nothing, she naturally didn’t dwell on it.

She looked towards Zhong Mingxin and Baili Lele, "So, when do you plan on going back? I’m talking about returning to the Zhong Family."

It had been so long since she last saw her grandparents; she truly missed them.

Moreover, now that she had found Zhong Mingxin, she should call her grandparents to truly put their minds at ease.

Zhong Mingxin’s face showed a hint of difficulty.

Although Baili Hengyuan had invited him to dinner tonight, he felt it inappropriate to take their daughter away so soon after they had just begun to mend fences.

Yet after being away from home for so long, he longed for his parents. Over the years, he had never been by his parents’ side to show filial piety, and he had even left his daughter in their care.

Whether as a son or as a father, he had been inadequate.
