Chi Yu was quite surprised to see Cheng Huai standing in front of her house.
It was the kind of astonishment akin to encountering someone you believed would cross your path only once in a lifetime, suddenly reappearing in an unexpected and startling manner.
Cheng Huai's father was a long-time friend of Gu Shiyan, while his mother shared a close relationship with Qiao Yu. The two families had often discussed finding an opportunity to bring their children together, but the timing never seemed to align.
Coincidentally, Cheng Huai was on leave from his military unit during Qiao Yu's birthday, so his entire family came to celebrate.
Known for his composed demeanor, Cheng Huai almost lost his poise upon seeing Chi Yu.
It was evident he hadn't anticipated that the daughter of their host would be Chi Yu.
