"Stop crying, Dad is back now, isn't he? And Dad is perfectly fine!" Wang Long patted Wang Yuxuan's shoulder and said.
"Dad, I missed you, really missed you so much, even in my dreams. I'm so glad you could get out." Wang Yuxuan said, her voice trembling.
"Dad knows, but everything's alright now, isn't it? No need to worry."
"You've gotten thinner, and look so weathered, life must have been tough. It's all because I couldn't make money," Wang Yuxuan blamed herself.
"Dad doesn't blame you, I only blame myself for trusting the wrong people back then, so don't worry, it's not because of you."
"Mm, I'm not worried anymore. But Dad, what exactly happened? How did you get out?" Wang Yuxuan asked.
"Cough cough." Wang Lihua couldn't bear it any longer and coughed to indicate that there were other people present.
It was only then that Wang Yuxuan noticed Mu Chen. Shocked, delighted, and a bit embarrassed, her emotions were mixed.
"Hello, how are you? My little Yuxuan sister." Mu Chen stared at the stunned Wang Yuxuan and said earnestly.
"You are Mu Chen, Brother!" Wang Yuxuan exclaimed excitedly.
"I thought you wouldn't recognize me. But my little Yuxuan sister has really changed, turning so pretty," Mu Chen said with a straight gaze.
"Brother Mu Chen never used to praise me like this. You always called me 'little blackie'. But I'm quite happy now," Wang Yuxuan said, a bit shyly.
"Who knew you would become so fair? If I had known, I should have stolen your first kiss back then; thinking about it now, it would have been quite nice."
"I haven't even been kissed yet!"
"Cough cough." Uncle Wang coughed loudly.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"You young people's topics are beyond me!"
"Uncle Wang, talking about a first kiss is nothing, I used to bathe Yuxuan when we were kids!"
"You…, been a pervert since you were little, you're killing me..."
"Brother Mu Chen, why say such things?"
"We should talk about these things, as young people, you should get closer more often," Wang Lihua said with a smile.
"Exactly, keep the good stuff within the family," Mu Chen agreed.
"You two..."
"What are you guys on about, I can't understand a word..."
"My Yuxuan! Your Brother Mu Chen is a big flirt, he has dozens of women outside, you shouldn't hang out with your Brother Mu Chen too often, understand?"
"Dad, I got it, I'm not a child, I can look after my own happiness."
"That's good then. I'm relieved now."
"But I think Brother Mu Chen is quite good. What does it matter if he has many girls outside? I'm not inferior to them," Wang Yuxuan said confidently.
Just after she finished, Wang Long nearly spit out the contents of his mouth, his face showing complete shock.
Mu Chen almost collapsed as well. He was just trying to lighten the mood for Wang Long, and hadn't expected Wang Yuxuan to be even more terrifying than imagined.
"Mom supports you," Wang Lihua said with a smile.
"Thanks, Mom!"
"Um... I was just joking, no worries, let's keep eating," Mu Chen laughed heartily.
"Right right right, Mu Chen, here's a toast to you, wishing you a future away from Yuxuan, and more flirting outside."
"Damn, Uncle Wang, I love that phrase. Then I toast to you frequently visiting next door, otherwise, you wouldn't live up to being called 'neighbor Wang'."
"Get out, can't you ever say something nice?"
"Ha ha…" Mu Chen laughed heartily, and then downed his drink.
"Dad, you still haven't told us how you got out." Wang Yuxuan curiously asked.
"Thanks to your brother Mu Chen, although I don't know how he did it, he managed to get me out."
"Brother Mu Chen, you didn't pay off our debts, did you?" Wang Yuxuan asked curiously.
"No, your brother Mu Chen, I've served in the military for a few years and have some connections. Getting someone out isn't that hard."
"Served in the military, what kind of soldier?"
"A very formidable one."
"One that can fight a dozen men?"
"Pretty much!"
"Wow, that's so cool, so impressive."
But at this moment, Long Ying had returned, bringing with him ten bottles of Erguotou, and was slightly surprised to see Wang Yuxuan; he didn't expect Wang Yuxuan to be so beautiful.
Wang Yuxuan was also curious about Long Ying, as his handsomeness was too striking to ignore.
"Come, come, come, tonight, no one goes home sober," Wang Long joyfully declared.
"Dad, you've just come back, don't drink too much," Wang Yuxuan tried to stop him.
"What do you know? It's because I've just come back that I need to drink this much."
"Brother Mu Chen, maybe you guys could drink less."
"Alright, we understand, I'll try to drink less."
"Yuxuan, stop talking and sit down to eat, isn't it a family reunion," Wang Lihua seriously said.
"Yes, Mom."
Following that, the five of them continued to enjoy their meal, laughing and talking, with Mu Chen occasionally teasing Uncle Wang, creating an increasingly good atmosphere.
However, just as everyone was having a great time, suddenly, over ten people walked into the courtyard, each with a fierce look.
The entrance of these people startled the five diners, with fear visible on the faces of the three Wangs, and Mu Chen wore an unpleasant expression; what he liked least was being disturbed.
"Who crippled Daoban? Show yourself now!" the grim-faced middle-aged man among the newcomers yelled.
"Dad, I'm scared," Wang Yuxuan's face changed as she spoke.
"Don't worry, with dad here, everything will be okay."
"Mm."
"Who are you people?" Long Ying stood up, his aura emerging as he spoke indifferently.
"And who are you, kid? This is Long Lin of Heavenly Wolf Sect, you'd better speak respectfully," a youth beside him shouted.
"So it turns out to be the trash from Rain Pavilion, no wonder who would dare to barge in here so brazenly. But since you've dared to come, don't think about leaving so easily."
"Haha, indeed it's enlightening. After so many years in Tianhai City, there are still those who are not afraid of death," Long Lin said furiously.
"Stop talking nonsense, take them down. I don't want my mood spoiled."
"Understood, boss. We will make sure they remember what happens when they offend us."
"Mm."
"Chen, should we call the police? They have more people," Wang Long said with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, they are just a bunch of minions seeking revenge, not worth bothering about."
"Relax, husband. Mu Chen is very strong, and so was Long Ying before, there's no need to worry."
"Okay then!"
"Seeking death, kid. It seems that you are the one who crippled Daoban. Today, you all will see, everyone, get them."
The presence of these people made too much noise, startling everyone living in the courtyard who came out to see what was happening, shocked by the scene.
Suddenly, the Rain Pavilion people charged at Long Ying, but he was not scared at all; with a leap, he punched and sent a youth flying several meters away, spewing a mouthful of blood, his power was terrifying.
