Chapter 797
Chapter 797: Chapter 781: He’s Very Pure Chapter 797: Chapter 781: He’s Very Pure “Okay,” Chen Lidong clenched his hand secretly, his heart skipping with joy at Tang Yuxin’s words, “You’ve come back.” Of course, it was only natural for her to return as well.
Yes, of course, she had to come back.
It had been several years since they had last seen each other, and he wondered what that little girl had turned into, whether she would still recognize him.
But Tang Sisi had inherited Zhang Xiangcao’s looks; presumably, she’s become more and more beautiful as she grew up—women transform so much at the age of eighteen that he might hardly recognize her now.
By noon, everyone who had gone out to work returned home.
As soon as Tang Zhinian and Tang Zhijun arrived, they naturally went to see their grandson first.
The two little darlings were rubbing their eyes as their grandfathers picked them up, quiet and well-behaved, chattering away, though they were still babbling.
Nevertheless, the grandfathers were patient, engaging in a conversation despite the babble.
Gu Ning had also returned.
Of course, he got along quite well with Chen Lidong.
This was just the way men’s friendships were—simple and straightforward.
As a guest, Chen Lidong naturally expected that Gu Ning, as the host, would spend time chatting with him.
This was the very least in terms of courtesy.
However, Tang Zhinian and the others did not treat Chen Lidong as an outsider.

The families had shared many years of close feelings, very good throughout, almost like true brothers.
Zhang Xiangcao and the household helper were busy preparing food in the kitchen.
With more people coming today, they had to prepare extra, as Lin Yile and others were also coming over, and Tang Sisi and her husband would be bringing their baby too.
As for Tang Yuxin, she was still sleeping; she was simply too exhausted.
By the time she woke up, it would be almost time to eat.
The nature of her job was like this, and nobody blamed her because getting good rest now meant she probably saved countless lives during the day.
Her hands were for saving lives, and her time equated to rescuing others.
In her previous life, Tang Yuxin saved many people, which might be why she was granted this rebirth.
In this lifetime, she saved even more, and thus her merits were boundless.
“Mommy, mommy, food…”
The two chubby babies lay next to Tang Yuxin, occasionally tugging at their mother’s hair with their little paws.
Tang Yuxin carefully opened her eyes to meet her sons’ round, rolling eyes and picked one up with each hand.
Then she kissed each of them on their little faces.
“Are you two behaving?”
“Behaving,” the two little ones frolicked with their mother and mimicked her, planting kisses on her face.
Naturally, they also smeared their saliva on her, but their mother did not mind at all because she was their mom, not someone else’s.
Had it been anyone else, she might have ended up scrubbing her face with a bottle of disinfectant.
After playing with the two chubby babies for a while, Tang Yuxin got dressed, picked up one in each arm, and brought them outside.
By now, the house was bustling with people.
Chen Lidong’s presence didn’t warrant any special treatment because in their eyes, he was already one of the family, so there was no need to treat him any differently than they would a guest.
“Go find grandpa.”
Tang Yuxin let go of the two chubby little boys’ hands.
They couldn’t walk yet, but they could crawl.
Swiftly, one climbed up Tang Zhinian’s leg and the other made his way over to Tang Zhijun.
Perhaps because Tang Zhinian and his brother looked so alike, the children could not tell them apart but knew they had two grandfathers.
Both grandpas loved them, and both cherished them dearly.

As for Chen Lidong, he always had a smile on his face, but his heart felt somewhat empty, indeed.
Everyone else was paired up; he did have a child, but that didn’t matter.
He’d be able to get through it quickly.
The front door made a sound, and then a young woman walked in, sporting a beautiful and delicate face, a smile brimming with warmth, a slender and graceful figure, and a set of clothes that fit perfectly.
No matter how one looked at her, she was a beauty.
“Sisi?” Chen Lidong recognized Tang Sisi at a glance.
This was his Little Sisi, unchanged, not in the slightest—she was exactly as he had imagined her to be in his mind.
“Eh?” Tang Sisi didn’t recognize him at first, but she quickly realized who it was, “Lidong brother,” she hurried over.
It had been a long time since she saw Chen Lidong; she truly missed him.
She hadn’t forgotten how well Chen Lidong had treated her in the past.
He had been there with her since her childhood.
It was impossible for her to forget Chen Lidong, who was just as important to her as her sister was, though of course, she ranked him right after her sister.
“You’ve really grown up,” Chen Lidong was genuinely excited.
He had waited for so long and finally, the wait for Tang Sisi was over.
His years of waiting hadn’t been in vain.
“I’m over twenty now, of course, I’ve grown up.”
Tang Sisi thought back to the past and couldn’t help but laugh.
They had all grown up, gotten married, started families.
As long as everyone was doing well, that was enough.
“Right, is it just you?”
Tang Sisi looked around but only found Chen Lidong.
Where were Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen?
They hadn’t come over, but they would be here in a few days.
Chen Lidong really wanted to stroke Tang Sisi’s soft hair, but he refrained, keeping his desire in check.
After all, her parents were still there, and he didn’t dare to make a move.
As for his own parents, yes, they would be joining soon.
He had wanted to show his face first, and there was some news he needed to share.
“And what about your sister-in-law?”
With that one sentence from Tang Sisi, the smile on Chen Lidong’s face instantly stiffened.
“Sister-in-law, what sister-in-law?” That question really hit him hard.
“Your brother here hasn’t found anyone yet, hasn’t gotten a girlfriend, and is very much single,” he flicked Tang Sisi’s forehead, asserting his current status straightforwardly, while also communicating to everyone just how pure and chaste he was, a truly decent man.
“That’s not urgent, you’re still young.”
Tang Sisi felt a bit awkward.
She had just casually asked, and it seemed like she said the wrong thing.
They had married early, but now late marriages were the norm.
So it was completely normal for Chen Lidong not to be married yet; after all, he was only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
Consider her older cousin, who got married at thirty and had his first child at thirty-one.
If it weren’t for his marriage to her, who knows when he would have had offspring.
“Let’s have dinner first,” Zhang Xiangcao had brought out all the dishes, which kept Chen Lidong from blurting out the words racing through his head.
He told himself not to rush.
Yes, not to rush.
After so many years, a few more hours were bearable.
He could wait.
