Chapter 1036

After eating and drinking their fill, Ning Chen, Lin Yi, and Facing Huo Jinglin naturally rested inside the motorhome.

Gu Yanqi stayed with her mother, while her father had to guard the empty room alone.

Watching the apartment lights go out from the motorhome, Lin Yi sighed, "They are two good people. To treat a stranger like a biological daughter is truly no easy feat."

"Yes, and it is clear they all dote on Young Lady Gu. Even though Young Lady Gu has not returned home for so long, everything inside still belongs to her."

Facing Huo Jinglin had surveyed the interior upon entering the house; it was filled with three-person photos of Gu Yanqi and her parents, and Gu Yanqi's slippers, cups, and other items were all placed outside.

It was as if they were waiting for her return at any moment.

"Ning Chen, do we still have a chance to come back?"

Lin Yi's question was not merely about Gu Yanqi; he also wanted to know if he would ever see Yang Mi again.

Ning Chen glanced at Lin Yi: "Mm."

The response was very quiet, but Lin Yi still heard it; he showed a smile. Since Ning Chen said they would return, they would definitely return.

The next day, the azure sky appeared, the sun shone brightly, and not a cloud was in the ten thousand li, heralding a fine day.

Gu Yanqi bid farewell to her parents, and the three embraced.

The middle-aged woman choked up slightly and whispered softly, "Protect yourself."

Gu Yanqi nodded; tears welled in the corners of her eyes, but she struggled to keep them from falling.

Entering the motorhome, Gu Yanqi watched her parents' figures gradually recede and could no longer hold back her tears.

Hearing the sound, Ning Chen switched the vehicle to autopilot, stepped out, and sat beside Gu Yanqi.

Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin had already read the situation and returned to their rooms.

Noticing the person sitting beside her, perhaps because Ning Chen had been too gentle that night, Gu Yanqi felt much less fear toward him.

Gu Yanqi boldly threw herself into Ning Chen's embrace; smelling a faint fragrance, a sense of security washed over her, and she cried loudly and unrestrainedly in Ning Chen's arms.

Ning Chen's hands were somewhat at a loss; given their current status, he could not give her a hug.

But the person in his arms was sobbing heart-wrenchingly, and Ning Chen felt his own heart tremble along with her.

He thought for a moment, then gave up, raised his hand, and slowly patted Gu Yanqi's back, soothing her emotions.

Although not a single word was spoken, Gu Yanqi's emotions gradually stabilized.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Ning Chen felt the person in his arms stop moving; he stopped his hand and looked down, seeing that Gu Yanqi seemed to have fallen asleep, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes.

Ning Chen sighed softly, wiped the tear from the corner of her eye, carefully lifted her in a princess carry, and carried her to the room.

Looking at his beloved in her sleep, Ning Chen could not resist leaving a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Leaving the room and closing the door, he saw Lin Yi standing by the opposite door with an expression of eager anticipation.

Ning Chen ignored him, sat back in the driver's seat, and began to think about where to go next.

Suddenly, the car stopped abruptly; standing less than two meters from the vehicle was a person, and that person was Xiao Han.

Xiao Han looked at Ning Chen through the glass with a smile on his face.

Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin came to the front, looked at the person before them, and could not help but exclaim in surprise.

"Whoa, what is going on? A ghost that won't leave?"

"Brother Ning, is he looking for you?"

Looking at the person outside, Ning Chen decisively left the driver's seat, got out of the car, and faced Xiao Han.

Seeing Ning Chen come down, Xiao Han's smile grew even wider.

"Ning Chen, it has been so long since we met; I hope you are well."
