"You're finally back!" Tang Jing said excitedly.
She had not expected that the person standing in front of her was Chen Hao.
"Is Yuqiao asleep?" Chen Hao asked softly.
Tang Jing's expression gradually settled as she nodded and said, "Asleep! Recently, she's been falling asleep listening to your recordings every night. Your absence has been really hard for her!"
As she spoke, Tang Jing recalled the dangerous situations she and Ye Yuqiao had been through during this time; her eyes began to well up with tears. Now that Chen Hao was back, it marked the end of the nightmare for both Ye Yuqiao and everyone around her.
"It's good that you're finally back!"
Tang Jing said with a deep, husky voice.
"I owe you and Xiao Feng thanks for accompanying her by her side while I was trapped in the Mirror Realm; thank you both!"
"No need to thank me, I did it for my godson and goddaughter."
"Godson and goddaughter?"
Chen Hao's face revealed a bizarre smile: "So you and Xie Xiaofeng are now the godfather and godmother? That means you're definitely going to marry Xie Xiaofeng, right?"
Tang Jing was noticeably annoyed and yelled at Chen Hao, "Get out! Go see your wife already. I handed Yuqiao over to you in one piece; you better protect her well from now on."
"Thank you!" Chen Hao said, looking at Tang Jing very earnestly.
The next moment, he teased Tang Jing again: "Then you should hurry up and find your man."
With that, Chen Hao turned and headed towards the room, only to hear Tang Jing mutter "jerk" under her breath from behind.
Chen Hao gently pushed the door open as he arrived at it.
The candles were still burning inside the room, their pale yellow light creating a warm atmosphere. Seeing Ye Yuqiao lying peacefully on the bed, a flood of emotions hit him from the reunion after a long absence, causing tears to fall unbidden.
After closing the door softly, Chen Hao crept to the bedside and held his breath as he bent down to leave a kiss on Ye Yuqiao's cheek, silently saying in his heart, "Wife, I'm back."
Due to her participation in the battle against the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld during the day, which drained a significant amount of her Spiritual Power, Ye Yuqiao was very tired and slept deeply, undisturbed by Chen Hao's kiss.
Afterward, Chen Hao extended his right hand to touch Ye Yuqiao's belly.
A bright light shot out from his eyes!
Although through the blanket, he could feel two faint streams of Spiritual Power transferring from Ye Yuqiao's abdomen into his palm.
These two streams of power, one icy and one scorching, were obviously his two children.
Presumably, to avoid disturbing Ye Yuqiao's rest, the two children greeted Chen Hao in this manner.
Therefore, upon feeling these two forces, Chen Hao was thrilled; it was the first time he could truly feel his children's real presence.
"Little princess, little prince, daddy is back. With daddy here, you will surely be born safely and grow up healthy."
..
..
At dawn.
The second snowfall of the year in Wushuang City stopped as the morning light gradually tore through the night.
Feeling parched and coughing softly, Ye Yuqiao woke up from her slumber.
"Tang Jing, I want some water," she said, opening her eyes and turning to look to the left.
However, what she saw was the familiar profile of Chen Hao.
His face was somewhat blurred in the dim light of the room, but his features were distinct.
She was stunned.
It felt just like a dream!
"Wife, do you want some water?" At this moment, Chen Hao asked as he sat up.
"You!" Ye Yuqiao suddenly had blurry eyes filled with tears, emotionally extending her left hand to fiercely pinch Chen Hao's arm.
"Does it hurt?"
Chen Hao slightly furrowed his brow and nodded: "It hurts!"
"So it's not a dream then! When did you come back?"
After speaking, Ye Yuqiao's tears fell like rain, and her left hand, which pinched Chen Hao's arm, shifted to holding on to it.
Tightly, forcefully, desperately holding on, as if afraid that Chen Hao might disappear.
Chen Hao brought his face close to Ye Yuqiao, holding back his tears and pretended to smile: "Wife, after you fell asleep last night, I came back. I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I didn't wake you up."
"You've lost weight!" Ye Yuqiao sobbed. Looking closely at Chen Hao's familiar face, Ye Yuqiao cried even more fiercely, her whole body shaking.
Chen Hao was busy wiping away her tears while continuously kissing her cheeks, transferring all the longing he had for Ye Yuqiao during these days into her heart through these kisses.
After a while, Ye Yuqiao held Chen Hao's cheeks tightly with both hands and sobbed loudly: "Chen Hao, you're finally back!"
During these days, on one hand, she had to defend against the attacks of Hua Shan and the Primordial Demons of the Underworld, and on the other hand, she had to stabilize the situation in the Netherworld and boost everyone's morale. As the Nether King, she had been silently enduring great pain and pressure, constantly on edge.
Finally, she could vent it all out, cry to her heart's content.
Because her Chen Hao was back, he would protect everything she held dear.
"Stop crying!"
Chen Hao said gently: "Crying too much will make you lose weight, your belly will get smaller, and the child inside will get smaller, and then they won't reach normal weight when they are born."
Ye Yuqiao burst into a tearful smile. Sometimes, she just liked listening to Chen Hao talking nonsense with a serious face, and those jokes of his that weren't funny at all.
After leaving a kiss on Ye Yuqiao's lips, Chen Hao said: "Wife, I'll go get you some water."
After pouring a cup of hot water, Chen Hao helped Ye Yuqiao sit up in bed, leaning against the headboard.
Looking at Ye Yuqiao's pale and haggard face, his heart ached.
After drinking the water, Ye Yuqiao suddenly moved closer to Chen Hao and bit his neck fiercely, then touching the rough, long stubble on Chen Hao's face she said: "Go get the razor, I want to shave you and tidy up your hair a bit."
Chen Hao nodded with a smile, his heart filled with warmth.
However, for a long time, he did not leave, but instead stared blankly at Ye Yuqiao.
"Why haven't you gone yet?"
Suddenly, Chen Hao bowed his head, tightly gripping Ye Yuqiao's hands, and said with great guilt: "Wife, I'm sorry for making you suffer during this time. I've not been there to protect you, it's my dereliction as a husband."
"Now that you've come back, that's enough for me. But you still have to be punished, you can't be more than twenty meters away from me in the future, otherwise, I will divorce you!"
...
...
In the mortal world, City W.
As dawn was just breaking, Lin Xiaofan rushed out of the room, knocking on Hua Shan's door.
"Boss, something's wrong!" Lin Xiaofan shouted loudly.
At once, the door hadn't opened yet, but Hua Shan appeared behind Lin Xiaofan.
"What's the matter?" asked Hua Shan.
"Chen Hao! Chen Hao has already escaped the Mirror Realm, he has found a way to leave the Mirror Realm!"
Hua Shan looked shocked, his face filled with panic!
After being stunned for a while, he said: "Don't panic! Don't panic! If worse comes to worst, we can just imprison him in the Mirror Realm again?"
