Shen Nian's heart skipped a beat when she heard that familiar voice. As she turned, she could practically hear it pounding in her chest.
It wasn't until she finally saw the man she'd been longing for that her heart finally calmed.
"You... you're back!"
Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng, her eyes brimming with surprise and her face lit up with a joyous, excited smile.
If they weren't outside, if there weren't so many people around, Shen Nian would have thrown herself into his arms in an instant.
"Yes, I'm back."
As soon as his mission ended, Lu Cheng had rushed back without stopping.
When he learned Shen Nian had already arrived, he rushed straight to the family quarters, travel-worn and without even taking the time to debrief.
But when he got there, he was met with the sight of the woman he'd been longing for, surrounded by a crowd.
Fearing Shen Nian was being bullied, Lu Cheng recklessly charged over, even tossing his luggage to the person behind him without a second thought.
