Wu Xuan, fond of everything related to his beloved, was very friendly towards his brother-in-law, specially preparing freshly squeezed juice and snacks for him.
When Wen Shu came downstairs, she happened to see the two conversing harmoniously, with Wu Xuan acting like a guardian.
Meanwhile, Bai Yan looked radiant. His gold-threaded robe was perfectly tailored, and his hair was meticulously trimmed, making him appear handsome and steady, much more mature than the last time they met.
In the midst of laughter and conversation, he lifted his eyes, saw Wen Shu coming downstairs, and his breath paused for a few seconds. He quickly got up and dashed toward her.
Before Wen Shu could react, she was enveloped in a tight hug.
"Sister," Bai Yan's husky voice softly sounded by her ear, "Are you doing well?"
Perhaps it was the overwhelming excitement of their reunion; he held her tightly, as if trying to meld her into his embrace.
