After getting the mobile phone, Zhou Chen walked out of the hospital and called home immediately.
"Sanli, I have come out. Tell your parents that you have worked hard these days."
"Husband, you finally called. Where are you now, how are you, how are you..."
When Qiao Sanli received a call from Zhou Chen, she burst into tears with excitement. Her spirit, which had been tense for so long, suddenly relaxed, and she asked a lot of questions in tears.
After chatting with Qiao Sanli for a long time, she hung up the phone and went to the hotel where Xiang Nannan lived.
Following the message left by Xiang Nanfang, he quickly came to the room where Xiang Nanfang lived and knocked on the door.
"who?"
"it's me."
There was just a "bang" in the room, and then the door was quickly opened, revealing a beautiful but haggard woman.
"Zhou Chen, are you out?"
When Zhou Chen saw Xiang Nanfang, he was also very excited. He suppressed his excitement and nodded.
"Well, as soon as I came out, I came over immediately when I found out you were here. Nanfang, why are you so stupid..."
Xiang Nanfang suddenly rushed into his arms and hugged him hard.
"As long as everything is fine, I feel relieved to see you are fine."
"I'm fine, Nanfang, I'm sorry, and thank you."
"There's no need to talk about this between us. Let me hold you for a while, just for a while. I'll be fine soon."
Zhou Chen's expression changed slightly, and then he tried his best to protect Xiang Nanfang. The two of them just enjoyed the moment quietly.
Song Qingyuan came back from buying food and happened to see this scene. He wanted to step forward, but after thinking about it, he stepped back, leaving space for them.
Zhou Chen and Xiang Nannan entered the room, but apart from hugging each other, they did not do anything else out of the ordinary. Both of them were very restrained.
Xiang Nanfang came to the capital to find him regardless of danger, which moved him very much, but he did not dare to have anything happen to Xiang Nanfang because he could not give Xiang Nanfang a future.
If it's something with a purpose, for money, or something else, he won't be so hesitant, there's no need to invest emotions, and it can be treated as a transaction.
When the relationship between him and Xiang Nannan was not like that, he couldn't give Xiang Nannan what he wanted unless he gave up his family, but that was impossible to happen.
Xiang Nanfang also wanted to be with Zhou Chen, but after a brief impulse, she calmed down again. She remembered what she had promised Qiao Sanli, and she could not break her promise.
Moreover, destroying other people's families was not something she would do. Her pride and upbringing did not allow her to do such a thing.
The two chatted in the room for a long time, and finally Xiang Nannan remembered Song Qingyuan next to him and took Zhou Chen to find Song Qingyuan.
Looking at Zhou Chen and Xiang Nanfang standing in front of the door, Song Qingyuan said: "You still know that I am here. I thought you two had forgotten about me and were only focused on being intimate with each other."
Xiang Nanfang's face turned red and he stretched out his hand: "What nonsense are you talking about? Zhou Chen and I are innocent, so don't talk nonsense, do you hear me?"
"I heard it, I heard it."
Song Qingyuan said this, but in his heart he couldn't help but despise him. He didn't know who wanted to come to the capital thousands of miles away to find love, but now he was pretending.
At the same time, he was also worried about the relationship between Zhou Chen and Xiang Nanfang. If Xiang Nanfang liked a single man, even if he was divorced, he would not be so worried.
But Zhou Chen is different. Zhou Chen is not only married, but also has two children. There is no sign of marriage change with Qiao Sanli. Xiang Nannan and Zhou Chen are destined to have no good outcome.
"I brought food from outside, but it looks like there isn't enough to eat now."
Zhou Chen said: "Let's go out to eat and treat you to a big meal."
Song Qingyuan chuckled and said: "Then I'm not polite, I want that kind of super big meal."
"no problem."
Seeing that Zhou Chen was safe and sound, Xiang Nanfang did not stay any longer. Zhou Chen stayed with her for two days, and then she left the capital with Song Qingyuan.
As for Zhou Chen, his support mission has not been completed yet, so naturally he will continue to stay in the capital for research.
Zhou Chen stayed in the capital until August before completing his mission. Then he packed up and prepared to go home.
Because the news that Zhou Chen was going back had been notified to his family before he set off, a large group of people had already gathered in the Zhou family villa before he arrived home.
When Zhou Chen returned home, he saw a large group of people gathered in the villa.
"husband."
The first person to rush towards Zhou Chen was Qiao Sanli. She had not seen Zhou Chen for several months. Now that she saw Zhou Chen returning safely, she felt endless excitement in her heart.
"Sanli."
Zhou Chen also hugged Qiao Sanli tightly. After not seeing each other for several months, he naturally missed her very much. Since he and Qiao Sanli got married, they have never been separated for so long.
The relatives around them were also sensible and did not disturb the two of them, but not everyone was calm, for example.
"Dad." "Dad."
Two crisp children's voices sounded, and Zhou Chen looked around and saw two petite figures running over quickly with small steps.
"Little apples, little glutinous rice balls."
Zhou Chen was very happy to see his son and daughter. After separating from Qiao Sanli, he hugged them one by one.
"Do you miss daddy very much?"
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Tangyuan nodded desperately. Although she was young, she had a deep memory of Zhou Chen, her father who loved her the most, so even though they hadn't seen each other for several months, she still recognized him immediately.
When Little Apple was a few years older, he said, "Dad, I miss you too. Mom misses you too. I even heard her calling your name in her dreams."
"Oh, is it so?"
After Zhou Chen heard this, he burst into laughter and glanced at Qiao Sanli.
Qiao Sanli was also helpless. This eldest son was as big as a brat. Although he was only eight years old, he was extremely smart.
"Come down quickly, dad is very tired."
As he said that, he was about to take the two children down, but Zhou Chen said: "It's okay, just let me hold them. We haven't seen them for so long, and I miss them very much."
Qiao Sanli: "There are a lot of people at home. Let's put the kids down first and say hello to everyone."
Zhou Chen nodded, put down the little apples and dumplings, and greeted everyone with a smile.
There are indeed a lot of people here today, even Qiao Zuwang, who rarely shows up, is here.
Qiao Zuwang is less than sixty this year, but he already looks very old, and his spirit is much worse than that of Zhou Jianguo. You must know that Zhou Jianguo is more than ten years older than him.
Zhou Chen hadn't seen Qiao Zuwang for a long time. Looking at Qiao Zuwang's appearance, he knew that Qiao Zuwang's days were not long.
He remembered that Qiao Zuwang in the original work seemed to have died next year. In his current condition, he didn't know how long he could live.
In addition to Qiao Zuwang, Qiao Sanli's second aunt Wei Shufang is also here. Because Zhou Chen has a good relationship with Qi Weimin, they often move around. She must also care about him, so she came with her son to have a look today.
Qiao Yicheng and his wife, Qiao Erqiang and his wife, Qi Weimin and his wife, Qiao Qiqi and his girlfriend, all of the Qiao family came except Qiao Simei and his wife.
In addition to the relatives from the Qiao family, many relatives from the Zhou family who move around more frequently also came.
There are also many colleagues and friends of Zhou Chen left, nearly ten of them.
Therefore, even though Zhou Chen's villa is very large, it seems to be quite crowded when there are dozens of people in it.
Zhou Chen greeted everyone one by one and expressed his gratitude. Those who could come showed that they were close friends, so even for Qiao Zuwang, Zhou Chen showed great respect.
It was afternoon when Zhou Chen arrived. Most people saw that Zhou Chen was safe and left after talking for a while. In the end, only a few people were left.
The nanny, Qiao Sanli and others went to cook, while Zhou Chen sat and chatted with Qiao Yicheng and others.
Relying on his status as an elder, Qiao Zuwang held the teacup and said to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, I'm not telling you, what you did this time was too reckless. Sanli and your parents will be on tenterhooks all day. In the future,
You have to think more about your family when you do things, don't let them worry about you, do you understand?"
Zhou Chen, Qiao Yicheng and others all looked at Qiao Zuwang in surprise. It was rare that Qiao Zuwang could actually say such a thing.
Zhou Chen knew that his situation was different, but what Qiao Zuwang said was correct. It was indeed his problem this time that made his family so worried.
"Dad, I remember what you said, and I will learn from it."
"Children can be taught."
Qiao Zuwang wrote a sentence with great satisfaction, his face full of pride.
After all, his son-in-law is no ordinary person. He is a world-famous scholar. He has appeared on television frequently in recent times and is now a household name in China.
