The moment she heard those words, tears streamed down her face.
The tension that had gripped Jiang Qingli's mind instantly vanished.
She broke into her first genuine smile of the evening. She pictured her mother and father as she nodded emphatically and said, "Yeah, I'm back."
Jiang Youchen chuckled softly. "You've been through a lot."
"It wasn't tough at all. I'm amazing, you know. But you all... you've had it tough, waiting for me for so long."
Jiang Qingli sighed with a smile.
She was just starting to relax and didn't notice the strange tension in his voice.
After hanging up, Jiang Qingli was hit by another wave of intense drowsiness.
Her body was telling her she needed sleep to recover from the immense mental strain.
She discreetly forced her eyes open, trying to stay awake.
Jiang Yi saw her struggle and couldn't help but smile. "If you're sleepy, then sleep. What are you afraid of?"
