Xiao Yichen took a decisive step forward, extending his arms to embrace his second sister warmly.
Many years had passed since their last meeting, and the sheer presence of his sibling before him stirred undeniable excitement within him.
Happily enveloped in her brotherâs hug, Xiao Ruiling, being significantly shorter, found her head barely reaching his shoulders. Nestled in his embrace, she expressed wistfully, âYichen, I miss you, Mom, Dad, and our home.â
âHmm,â Xiao Yichen responded.
After a prolonged moment, the siblings reluctantly released each other. Xiao Yichen, retrieving the luggage beside his second sister, suggested, âLetâs head home. Mom and Dad are eagerly awaiting our arrival for dinner.â
âMm, then call Mom and let her know youâve picked me up,â Xiao Ruiling delightedly suggested.
âWeâll call on the way.â With those words, Xiao Yichen extended his free hand, wrapping it around his second sisterâs back, leading her out of the airport.
âWellâ¦â
As they exited the terminal, Lin Wan and her colleagues, Katie and Sally, maneuvered their luggage from the international airport.
âKatie, Sally, Iâll arrange for the hotel car to take you. Iâll head home and catch up with you at the company tomorrow,â Lin Wan informed her colleagues.
Per the prior agreement in France, Katie and Sally would stay at the hotel upon arriving in Ancheng City, while Lin Wan had arrangements at her motherâs place. The CEO had already made lodging arrangements for them.
âLin Wan, why not join us in the hotel car back to the city?â Katie suggested. The hotel car was free for guests, and one more person wouldnât be an issue.
Lin Wan declined with a smile, shaking her head. âNo, itâs more convenient for me to take a taxi.â
Katie nodded understandingly, not insisting further.
Lin Wan and her colleagues left the terminal, heading to the hotel car. After their departure, Lin Wan hailed a taxi, preparing to return to her motherâs residence.
Just as Lin Wan settled into the taxi, a black sports car whizzed past, bypassing the taxi.
In a split second, Xiao Yichen experienced an inexplicable sensation that coursed through his entire being, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.
Xiao Ruiling, seated in the front passenger seat, noticed her brotherâs sudden movement.
âYichen, whatâs wrong? Are you feeling unwell?â she asked with concern.
When his body was trembling just now, she realized that his brows were also slightly furrowed. Could it be that he was really⦠not feeling well?
Although his brows were slightly furrowed, Xiao Yichen assured her, âNo, Iâm fine. Just felt a bit uncomfortable, but itâs passed now.â
Concerned, Xiao Ruiling suggested, âCould it be from driving for too long? Motion sickness, maybe?â
Xiao Yichen shook his head, uncertain of the cause of the sensation. Unable to articulate the inexplicable feeling, he chose not to elaborate further.
âLetâs head back quickly. You need to rest at home,â Xiao Ruiling advised, recognizing the demands on her brother, who managed a vast empire in the Eastern Empire.
âWellâ¦â
An hour later, Xiao Yichen and his second sister arrived home. Xiao Shengdong and Ning Yan were overjoyed to see their daughter, with Ning Yan particularly reluctant to release her from the embrace.
âAlright, we have plenty of time for hugs now that our daughterâs back. No need to rush,â Xiao Shengdong playfully reminded Ning Yan..
