Today is the day Xinyan returns home. Early in the morning, He Jinxuan cleaned the house inside and out, only stopping when he was satisfied.
They had agreed that after picking up Xinyan, they would return to the Gu Mansion together and come back tomorrow to view the house.
After tidying himself up, he left the house two hours early.
Originally, Han Jingchen also wanted to pick up his young lady today, but he received a last-minute notification to attend a meeting at the department, which was mandatory.
As Gu Wanqing had a big project appointment at the company today, the task of picking her up was honorably passed on to him.
Maybe it was due to too much anticipation; a one-hour drive only took forty minutes.
He inquired at the service desk and learned that the flight was not delayed and would arrive on time.
Holding the flowers he had prepared in advance, he waited at the arrival gate.
These days, itâs really rare to see someone holding flowers to welcome someone at the airport, attracting quite a bit of attention.
He stood there straight for an hour and a half without feeling tired.
Xinyan collected her luggage and, chatting and laughing with Jiang Peiqin, walked out. At a glance, she saw He Jinxuan standing at the exit.
Although he wasnât particularly handsome, he had a masculine aura, standing like a poplar tree.
Others couldnât tell, but Xinyan saw eagerness and joy in his eyes.
The moment Jiang Peiqin saw He Jinxuan, she smiled at Xinyan, "Oh, how romantic! He even brought flowers. This man who wants to get married is really something. Hurry up and walk faster."
Not only Peiqin but Xinyan also didnât expect him to make such a grand gesture. He was usually more about actions than words, and Xinyan always thought he wasnât a romantic person.
Among the group, someone recognized the man with the flowers as Han Xinyanâs fiancĂ© and couldnât help but say, "This man is really kind to Han Xinyan, even buying flowers to welcome her."
A classmate leaned over, "Do you know him?"
The classmate smiled and explained, "Thatâs Han Xinyanâs fiancĂ©. Iâve seen him drop Xinyan off at school before."
"This man is pretty tall, although heâs a bit too dark, donât you think?"
It was obvious someone was just being picky, envious but unwilling to admit it.
Xinyan wasnât far from them and heard this clearly, thinking to herself: Only I know how good he really is. A man shouldnât be too handsome, or else heâd have endless romantic troubles to handle.
Her He Jinxuan is just perfect, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, a stable temperament, and he even nips potential romantic troubles in the bud. Heâs a great cook, does the dishes, and takes care of the house. Most importantly, his eyes and heart are solely for her. Whatâs the use of being good-looking?
He Jinxuan indeed isnât a dashing guy, but he is pleasing to the eye and masculine, with a strong sense of manliness.
She couldnât help but quicken her pace, smiling brightly, "He Jinxuan, Iâm back."
He Jinxuan felt a fiery desire to embrace her but restrained himself in the crowd. He modestly said, "I came to pick you up. Welcome home, Yanyan."
Saying that he handed over the flowers, but the word âdarlingâ couldnât come out, so he silently mouthed it in his heart.
His wife is back, how far can marriage be?
Ever since they got engaged, he had been containing his passion, fearing that too much enthusiasm would cause gossip for Yanyan.
Though they had agreed before that theyâd marry after she graduated, he couldnât help wishing to bring her home sooner.
Very much in sync, Xinyan accepted the flowers, and he took over the luggage cart from her hands.
They exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with tenderness, love, and longing.
