The days in early summer are getting hotter and muggier.
Du Wanchun took Xiao Mianmian and the others on the road for several days, and it was already evening when they returned to Cheng'an County.
Zhou Ruiyuan had received Du Wanchun's letter earlier and had been waiting at the city gate these days.
He saw the carriage coming this way from a distance, immediately got on his horse and ran towards them.
Hearing the sound of the horse, Xiao Mianmian stretched out her little hand to open the carriage curtain and looked outside. Seeing Zhou Ruiyuan coming on horseback, she happily called: "Daddy~Daddy~"
Yi'er and Yu'er, who had been taking a nap with their eyes closed, also opened their eyes one after another. Together with Xiao Mianmian, they stuck out their little heads and called to Zhou Ruiyuan, "Daddy~Daddy~"
Zhou Ruiyuan's clear and deep eyes were full of gentleness, and the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up, with a smile on his face. He tugged hard on the hand holding the reins and shouted: "Drive!"
Du Wanchun also poked his head out from behind the three children and looked out. Seeing his husband, whom he hadn't seen for many days, his heart beat faster than the sound of horse hooves.
Mrs. Wei smiled on the side and said, "Look at how anxious Mr. Zhou is this week. He's here before we even reach the gate of Cheng'an County."
The carriage stopped, and the three little children jumped off the carriage together and ran towards Zhou Ruiyuan. ?.?????.ℂ??
"Daddy~"
Zhou Ruiyuan stabilized his horse, jumped down, squatted down and hugged the three children tightly into his arms.
Xiao Mianmian rubbed her chubby little face into Zhou Ruiyuan's arms, "Finally I met Daddy~"
Yi'er and Yu'er followed up and said, "I haven't seen dad for a few days, but I miss him so much."
"Yeah, I miss my dad~"
Zhou Ruiyuan let go of them and scraped each of the three of them's noses. "You guys are getting more and more courageous. You actually secretly followed them to the capital."
The three little ones lowered their heads one after another, pursed their lips, and lowered their heads and said, "Dad, we know we were wrong."
"Dad, we won't dare to do it again next time."
When the three of them admitted their mistake, pairs of round eyes winked at each other behind Zhou Ruiyuan's back.
Although Zhou Ruiyuan was anxious, looking at their small appearance, he couldn't express his anger towards them for the moment, so he had to hug them into his arms again.
The three little ones obviously smiled in triumph.
Du Wanchun slowly got off the carriage and called to Zhou Ruiyuan: "Ms. sir, it's better to take them back quickly. My parents probably miss them too."
Zhou Ruiyuan raised his eyes to look at his wife, whom he had not seen for many days, with a lot of affection and lingering love in his gentle eyes.
He stood up, holding Xiao Mianmian in one hand and holding Yi'er in the other, with Yu'er sitting on his shoulder.
A child strode towards the carriage.
Du Wanchun took the three children and put them into the carriage.
The two couples stood alone outside the carriage, feeling indescribable joy in their hearts.
The early summer breeze blew gently, lifting the hair around Du Wanchun's ears.
Zhou Ruiyuan reached out and gently wrapped her hair behind her ears, "How are you these days in the capital?" he asked.
Du Wanchun raised his long eyelashes slightly and smiled warmly: "Everything is fine, I just helped my second brother get rid of someone."
Zhou Ruiyuan's eyes were always on her face. Although he asked first, his attention was not on their conversation.
He did not take back his hand, but used his warm and broad palm to hold Du Wanchun's cheek, and said softly: "It's okay, just get rid of it. Although my second brother is smart, he is too soft-hearted."
Du Wanchun's cheeks felt warm and soft, which instantly swept away her fatigue after traveling for several days.
She raised her eyes to meet his, her little pear dimples exposed, and she smiled sweetly.
Zhou Ruiyuan could no longer suppress his longing for these days, lowered his head and held her lips steady.
His kisses were always gentle, but this time he brought out some of his domineering nature, making the kiss deeper and deeper, as if he couldn't get enough.
Du Wanchun's hand trembled slightly, then he slowly raised it and gently pinched his sleeve, bit his lip playfully, and kissed him back.
On the green official road, the two figures hugged each other tightly under the warm sunshine.
Little Mianmian in the carriage realized that her parents hadn't come up yet, so she opened the curtain to take a look, "Mom~"
Before she could finish her words, Yi'er covered her eyes just as she poked her head out, "Shh~ Mom and dad are reminiscing about old times!"
Xiao Mianmian half understood and half didn't understand, and nodded obediently.
The two people outside the carriage also heard the movements of Xiao Mianmian and the others, and immediately let go of each other and got into the carriage as if nothing happened.
The carriage continued to move forward, and when it was completely dark, it finally returned to the door of Zhou's house.
Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince had been guarding the door early.
The fifth prince, Zhou Quan, was guarding the intersection a few meters away from the door.
He looked at the carriage from a distance, turned around and ran towards the door of his house with great joy, "Mom! My eldest brother and sister-in-law are back! Mom!"
