Chapter 745: Reunion at Home
The driver drove for more than ten hours, and the three of them checked into a five-star hotel close to the embassy.In this bustling city, phone signal is no longer a cause for worry.
Once they arrived at the hotel and settled their luggage, Rong Qingqing and Shen Jue went to Father Shen’s room. The three of them sat in the living room, and Rong Qingqing started a group video chat. Almost everyone answered in seconds.
As soon as it opened, there was Rong Qingqing’s flawless face right up against the screen.
"Grandpa, Mom, have you been waiting anxiously? The signal in the small fishing village was bad. We rushed overnight to another city, and we’ve just checked into the hotel." Rong Qingqing knew everyone wasn’t eager to see her, so she quickly handed the phone to Father Shen and smiled, "Dad, quickly say hello to everyone."
Father Shen held the phone and carefully looked at each person in the video one by one.
This was an indescribable feeling.
Clearly unfamiliar, without any memory, yet it seemed very familiar and close.
Especially when the little girl in the school uniform with red eyes called him dad, Father Shen’s heart softened, "You are Qiaoqiao."
As soon as Shen Qiao heard it, tears streamed down her face.
"Dad, you don’t recognize me? Have I gotten so fat you don’t recognize me?"
Whether she was sad because she had gotten excessively fat recently or something else, the more Shen Qiao spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, "I didn’t mean to gain weight so fast. When sister-in-law was on her maternity leave, the house had too much good food, and I couldn’t control my mouth at once, that’s why I gained weight so fast."
Father Shen listened and laughed, "It’s not related to you. I injured my brain and can’t remember many things and people."
Father Shen’s explanation suddenly made everyone understand why he, though alive, hadn’t come home all this time.
While Father Shen chatted with everyone, Rong Qingqing pulled Shen Jue to the balcony to admire the view, also leaving some space for Father Shen to speak with family.
The balcony of the luxury suite in a five-star hotel is an excellent spot for enjoying the scenery.
Rong Qingqing, holding onto Shen Jue’s arm, leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed deeply, "Shen Jue, I feel we are really happy now. Mom and Qiaoqiao must be very happy too, and Grandpa and the others must be so pleased."
At this, Rong Qingqing laughed out loud, "If Shen Gaizhuo and Liao Yamei knew dad was back, they would be furious."
Shen Jue slightly tilted his head, resting it against hers.
She looked at the view from the balcony, but he only gazed out at her.
Her smiling face at this moment, to Shen Jue, was more dazzling than the sky full of stars.
The only scenery he wished to admire was her smile.
Shen Jue thought that all the luck in his life must have been used up meeting her.
"With Dad back, once he takes over the company again, I’ll have more free time. Then I’ll take you on a trip. You love taking pictures, right? Let’s hire a travel photographer to follow us. Wherever we travel, let’s have them capture our moments. You can post a picture a day. Once we’ve posted all, we can go on another trip," Shen Jue said.
Standing by the balcony door while about to return the phone, Father Shen paused, coughed, thought it over, and said, "Having a sick person work; truly my son."
The procedures for Father Shen to return to the country were more cumbersome than expected. After all, as someone who had been missing for so long, proving he was himself required many complicated procedures.
It took another full half month for Shen Jue and Rong Qingqing to prepare to take Father Shen back.
The plane landed at midnight, and the driver was already waiting in the parking lot in the early morning. Picking them up, the car headed straight back to Shen Manor.
In the middle of the night, Shen Manor was brightly lit.
As soon as Father Shen got out of the car, Shen Qiao immediately ran over to embrace him.
Rong Qingqing, missing her child dearly, had initially thought it would take at most half a month, including travel time, but instead, it took nearly a month to return.
After chatting briefly with the elders, Rong Qingqing returned to her room to see her child.
At this hour, the child was already asleep. Having not seen him for almost a month, the child had grown considerably.
Afraid of waking him, Rong Qingqing did not hold him but sat by the small bed watching him.
At this moment, Rong Qingqing somewhat understood how Shen Jue, as a father, could look like a fool doting on his child.
The little darling she gave birth to was truly adorable.
Never tiring to look at.
