What's your feeling at the beginning? The aloof lawyer is crying!

"What? Really? Oh, this is such a happy event, my daughter. Mom has been looking forward to this day. Your dad will be so happy when he knows it. You haven't been back for several years, and everyone in the family misses you. My nieces and nephews have grown a lot taller, and they wonder every day why their aunt hasn't come back yet." Song Rouying said excitedly on the other end of the phone. Lin Yizhizi listened with tears in her eyes.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yizhi turned to look at Gu Jiang, her eyes full of anticipation and joy: "Gu Jiang, Mom is so happy, we have to pack up and get ready to go back."

Gu Jiang smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll clean it up right away."

So, the two of them started to get busy in the rented house, packing clothes, daily necessities and other items. While Lin Yizhi was sorting, she kept muttering: "I wonder how the company is doing now?"

While packing his luggage, Gu Jiang comforted her, "It will definitely be the same as before, but we agreed that you should take good care of your pregnancy and not work..."

While packing, Lin Yizhi looked at the rental house where they had lived for a long time, and her heart was filled with emotion. This place held too many memories for them, including sweet times together and days of quarrels. But now, in order to welcome a new life and to have a more spacious and comfortable home, they had to leave here and return to the home full of family love and warmth.

Finally, everything was packed up. Gu Jiang carried the large and small bags of luggage, while Lin Yizhi carefully protected her belly, and the two set out on their journey home.

Along the way, Lin Yizhi leaned on Gu Jiang's shoulder and excitedly told him about the interesting things that happened at home in the past. Gu Jiang listened with a smile and responded from time to time. Both of them were looking forward to the warm moment of reunion with their family.

In the airport hall, people were coming and going, and the noise was endless. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows let in bright light, casting patches of light on the smooth ground, like a flowing light and shadow painting. Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan stood near the airport pick-up gate, with their children, Lin Yuelin and Lin Runze, beside them. Lin Yuelin had two playful pigtails, her eyes were sparkling, like two twinkling stars, and she looked around curiously. Lin Runze stood aside obediently, holding a small welcome sign prepared for his aunt, staring at the exit without blinking, his face full of expectation.

Lin Wanyi was wearing an off-white windbreaker, with a graceful figure. Her delicate face was filled with a joyful smile, and her lips were slightly raised, like a blooming flower. Her eyes seemed to be filled with bright stars, full of joy for her sister. Jiang Tingyan was tall and straight, wearing a simple black jacket, handsome and steady. He had a gentle smile on his lips, and his eyes revealed his expectation for his sister's family to return. He looked at the exit from time to time, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Time passed slowly while waiting, and every minute seemed to be stretched out. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in the crowd. Lin Yizhi walked slowly towards them, holding Gu Jiang's arm. Lin Yizhi was wearing a light blue dress, and the hem of her dress swayed gently with her steps, like a cloud floating in the breeze. Her face was rounder, with a happy glow, and tears in her eyes, tears of longing for her hometown and relatives. Her hair fell softly on her shoulders, with a few strands dancing beside her cheeks, adding a bit of softness. Gu Jiang was wearing neat casual clothes and had a strong posture. His eyes were always gently on Lin Yizhi, with a doting smile on his face, carrying the luggage in his hands, and carefully protecting Lin Yizhi.

"Sister!" Lin Wanyi shouted excitedly, her voice still clearly audible in the noisy hall. She opened her arms and walked quickly towards Lin Yizhi. Jiang Tingyan also smiled and greeted him, his eyes full of joy. Lin Yuelin and Lin Runze waved their signs excitedly and shouted loudly: "Aunt, Uncle!" Their voices intertwined and echoed in the airport hall, like a joyful symphony, playing the most moving melody for this moment of reunion. The moment Lin Yizhi saw her family, tears welled up in her eyes. She quickened her pace and hugged her family tightly. The people around her seemed to be infected by this strong family atmosphere and cast warm and envious eyes.

Jiang Tingyan quickly took the luggage from Gu Jiang, and said jokingly with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you have worked hard all the way, let me take care of these heavy things." Lin Wanyi held Lin Yizhi's arm affectionately, and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly with her other hand, her eyes full of surprise and love: "Sister, you have to be careful, you look so happy now."

Along the way, everyone laughed and shared their interesting stories. Lin Yizhi leaned on Gu Jiang's shoulder, tears flashing in her eyes, tears of happiness. She looked at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar street scene outside the car window, her heart full of emotion. Gu Jiang held her hand tightly, giving her warm strength.

The car slowly drove into the familiar courtyard. Before it stopped, Lin Yizhi saw her parents who had been waiting at the door. Her father, Lin Huaicheng, was still tall and straight, but his temples had a lot of white hair. His eyes revealed endless love and expectation. Her mother, Song Rouying, stood aside. She looked a little thin, but her eyes were shining with excitement. Her hands unconsciously grasped the corners of her clothes, like a child waiting for a gift.

"Mom and Dad!" Lin Yizhi couldn't wait to open the car door and ran towards her parents. Lin Huaicheng opened his arms and hugged his daughter in his arms, his voice choking: "My baby girl, you are finally back." Song Rouying was already in tears. She stroked Lin Yizhi's hair and murmured: "It's good that you are back, it's good that you are back."

Gu Jiang came over and called out a little stiffly: "Dad, Mom." Lin Huaicheng let go of Lin Yizhi and patted Gu Jiang's shoulder vigorously: "Good boy, you must treat my daughter and my grandson well this time." Gu Jiang nodded vigorously: "Dad, don't worry, I will."

Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan also came over with their children. The family huddled together, and laughter echoed in the courtyard. It was the joy of reunion after a long separation and the warmth of family affection, as if all the beauty in the world was frozen at this moment.

As soon as the car stopped, Lin Yizhi couldn't wait to open the door and ran towards her parents like a bird returning to its nest. Her eyes were already red, tears welled up in them, her vision was a little blurred due to excitement, but the figures of her parents were imprinted in her eyes very clearly.

Lin Huaicheng's tall body trembled slightly. He took a step forward, and his rapid steps brought a breeze. He opened his strong arms and hugged Lin Yizhi tightly, as if to make up for the hugs he had missed over the years. (End of this chapter)
