The car drove all the way back to Platinum Lanting.

After getting out of the car, Qi Yuan held Su Ran with one hand and dragged her suitcase with the other.

The people in the manor also knew she was coming back today, so just as they reached the doorstep, the people inside rushed out all at once.

Leading the charge were Mengmeng and Curve.

"Young Madam, you’re back!"

"Young Madam, you’re back!"

Seeing the two bright, young girls running toward her, Su Ran felt most of her fatigue dissipate.

"Young Madam, you’ve been gone for so long this time."

"Yeah, without you here, the manor felt so quiet."

"Young Madam, are you thirsty?"

"Are you hungry?"

"Are you tired?"

"Where are your things? I’ll help you with them." Saying this, the servant was looking around for Su Ran’s belongings.

Upon seeing Qi Yuan standing to the side with a suitcase, she pursed her lips, then withdrew her gaze, seemingly full of disdain.

As for the Eldest Young Master, she didn’t see him.

Aunt Sun, who came out and saw the scene: "..."

This would have been impossible in the past.

The people in the manor revered Qi Yuan more than they feared him. Not only because of his stern face and the aura that kept people at bay, but also because of his strong, intimidating presence. Usually, people in the manor avoided him if they could.

But now, a group of people chirping and bustling about made it impossible for Aunt Sun, who was busy inside, to ignore.

Since when did the manor become so lively?

It seems to have started after the Young Master met the Young Madam.

Aunt Sun felt very sentimental. She’d been in the manor for many years. Although she didn’t watch the Young Master grow up, she had been there for over a decade. In all these years, it was the first time she’d seen the manor so full of life.

Platinum Lanting is big, with many people, yet it used to feel cold and lonely.

Especially the Young Master, who was always cold and distant, unlike now, quietly standing aside with a gentle look as he watched the crowd make a scene.

All of this is thanks to the Young Madam.

"Alright, the Young Madam just got back. Don’t block the door. Let her go inside and rest first." Seeing this group of kids made Aunt Sun a bit helpless, but her face was full of a gentle smile.

Only then did everyone snap back to reality.

"The Young Madam lost weight; she must have worked hard during this time."

"We watched your live stream, Young Madam, you were amazing."

"Young Madam, let me massage your shoulders..."

Everyone clustered around Su Ran as she went inside, as for Qi Yuan trailing behind...

They didn’t see him; he wasn’t important.

Inside the house.

Fu Qixiu, with his panda eyes, came down from upstairs—Qin Feng was on vacation these past two days, so his brother only had him to bully.

Originally, it was because his sister-in-law wasn’t around, and he didn’t want his brother to be alone, which is why he stayed over.

Unexpectedly, this only made it easy for his brother to enslave him.

Waaah... Sister-in-law, when are you coming back?

If you don’t come back soon, your cute little brother-in-law won’t survive youth!!

Fu Qixiu let out a long howl. Just as he finished howling, he saw Su Ran being ushered through the door.

Am I seeing things?

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and upon seeing the figure was still there, pinched himself, "Ouch..."

Is it real?

Is Sister-in-law really back?? 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Fu Qixiu’s eyes lit up instantly, tears of joy filling them.

He must have been heard by heaven!

He flung away what he was holding and sprinted toward Su Ran—

"Dad, you’re back..."

Because he was running too fast, his left foot accidentally tripped over his right foot, and Fu Qixiu stumbled and then, "thud," fell to his knees in front of Su Ran.

Su Ran: "..."
