Chen Xu had called his parents ahead of time to prepare them for Luo Xiyun's arrival at home.
On the way, his mother had sent several voice messages asking if they had departed yet, if the person was with them, and when they would arrive.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Luo Xiyun listened to the exchanges, her nervousness becoming more palpable.
After replying to each message, Chen Xu patted the back of her hand, reassuring her not to worry.
At ten in the evening, they arrived at the foot of Chen Xu's house.
"Second Aunt must be watching from the balcony."
With that, Chen Ziqi, clutching her cherished laptop, was the first to get out of the car. Turning around, she saw her Second Aunt already coming out at the staircase, exclaiming with surprise, "Second Aunt? You haven't been waiting here the whole time, have you?"
"I just came down to buy some things," Zeng Wenli said, her gaze fixed on Luo Xiyun, who had just gotten out of the car.
