War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 422: I Finally Returned

Tang Yuxiu habitually reached out to touch her head, "Alright, you all go back, wait for me to return."

"Okay."

This time, it’s my turn to wait for you to come back, back to our home, and then, we can reunite as a family.

Reunited in our own home.

She held the keys and opened the car door to get out.

Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian saw her getting out and hurriedly pushed open the car door to get out too.

"What a big villa, I want to go inside and look, Mommy, open the door quickly."

"What’s the hurry, there’s plenty of time, say goodbye to Daddy first."

"Oh." The Two Treasures obediently stood in front of Tang Yuxiu’s car window, "Daddy, come back early after work, we’ll be waiting at home for you."

"Okay." As Tang Yuxiu answered, he gave Gu Yan a special glance.

Gu Yan grinned at him, "See you."

Tang Yuxiu chuckled softly, like a drum lightly tapping Gu Yan’s heart, causing a slight vibration.

"By the way, Yanyan, there’s another car in the garage. If you feel like you’re missing something and can’t wait for me to get back, you can use it."

"But Mommy..."

Before Gu Xiaonian could say anything, Gu Yan immediately interrupted her and nodded to Tang Yuxiu, "Okay, I know."

"Then I’m off to the company, goodbye, my darlings."

Tang Yuxiu started the car and turned around, then turned back from the car window to wave at them.

The kids waved back at him until his car disappeared from view.

Gu Xiaonian asked Gu Yan quizzically, "Mommy, why did you interrupt me? You clearly can’t drive."

Whenever Gu Yan drove, her hands would tremble, her legs would weaken, she wouldn’t dare to open her eyes, and she would break out in a cold sweat.

"I just won’t drive, I don’t want your dad to have one more thing to worry about."

"Oh." The Two Treasures nodded, somewhat understanding.

"Let’s go, we’re going home now."

"Okay!" The two children couldn’t wait and simply grabbed the keys from Gu Yan’s hand and ran to the door.

But, as they were too short, they couldn’t insert the key into the keyhole even on tiptoes, and eventually, they had to ask Gu Yan for help.

"Mommy, you’d better do it." The Two Treasures playfully handed over the keys with a grin.

"You’re too quick for your own good." Gu Yan took the keys and opened the door, and the two kids couldn’t wait to rush inside.

Gu Yan instinctively called after them, "Change your shoes first!"

In the past, Tang Yuxiu had a severe cleanliness obsession; before you entered the house, you had to change shoes, or you weren’t allowed in.

If they didn’t have shoes to wear, they had to go barefoot, but they had to take them off first.

The Two Treasures ran back to take off their shoes and looked up to ask her, "Mommy, what do we wear after taking off our shoes?"

Gu Yan opened the shoe cabinet and saw two pairs of brand-new children’s plush slippers, along with a pair of women’s slippers for herself.

Gu Yan couldn’t help but smile; he really was prepared.

She took out the shoes, "Here, put them on."

"Wow, Daddy actually prepared shoes for us too."

"Of course, this is our home, how could it not have our things in it."

"Right, this is our home." The Two Treasures excitedly took off their original shoes, put on the new slippers, and stepped into the villa.

Gu Yan also changed her shoes and walked in.

The two children ran around the villa like two little wild horses, bursting with happiness.

But Gu Yan, on the other hand, felt an unavoidable strangeness in her heart the moment she stepped into this villa.

It was so familiar, so familiar that she felt as if she had been placed in a certain moment, a scene she had experienced before or, better to say, several such scenes.

With every step she took, images flashed in her mind, quickly, yet repeatedly.

"Tang Yuxiu, I love you, I really love you! Even if we can’t be together, I don’t want us to hate each other, separated by a vast distance."

"You must come back, Yanyan, I’ll wait for you."

"Wait for me."

She paused when she passed the piano room, then touched the doorknob and pushed the door open.

The white piano stood quietly by the window, with light shining on it, making it seem as if it could glow.

"Things like this really don’t feel real."

"There’s nothing unreal, from now on you have me, whatever you want I can give you."

"Tang Yuxiu, if you’re so good to me, what will I do in the future if I can’t live without you?"

"Who said you can leave me in the future?"

Her hand caressed the piano’s body; those old memories became clearer in her mind, as if they had just happened yesterday.

Her hand slightly trembled, the promise not to leave, and yet?

In the end, they were separated for five years...

She suddenly clenched her hand, turned, and left the piano room.

Standing in the living room, images flashed through her mind one by one before she caught them and slowed them down, making them very clear.

Gradually, she recalled the things that happened between them here, bickering, arguing, silent standoffs, happy times, joyful times, sad times, heartache...

So many, so many scenes surged into her mind at once.

These were her memories, memories that originally belonged to her, only she accidentally lost them...

She slowly walked towards the kitchen, where the layout seemed unchanged from when she left, as if untouched.

The countertop shone with cleanliness, obviously someone often wiped it over and over again.

She remembered how she used to cook for him here, time and time again.

They used to sit at the dining table outside and eat together, and unlike Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian, he never despised her cooking; he ate happily and contentedly.

Even though he didn’t show it, she could tell.

She left the kitchen, climbing the stairs to the second floor, step by step.

The long corridor, with a window at the end flanked by small lights, which used to be just two rooms, was now three doors.

She didn’t know when Tang Yuxiu opened up another room.

She walked up to the most familiar room, turning the doorknob.

Her eyes fell on the unchanged, serious, and meticulous black series.

She walked in, lay on the large black bed, and closed her eyes.

She remembered everything that had happened here, in this villa, between them!

If anywhere was the most indelible place in Gu Yan’s memory, it had to be this villa.

They lived together here day and night.

They argued here, had cold wars, reconciled, and became sweet again.

Here, she fell in love with him little by little, and so much happened between them.

They expressed their feelings to each other; they were intimate; they experienced breakups and reunions here.

Today, she’s finally back.

Gu Yan buried her face in the bedding, tears seemed to seep from the corners of her eyes, dripping into the blanket, then disappearing.

"Tang Yuxiu..."

I’m finally back, I’ve finally fulfilled my promise to come back for you.
