Chapter 176

The two of them were busy in the medicine house for a long time and finally treated the burns on Lin Huan's hands.

At this time, the night was as dark as ink, and everything was silent except for the rustling of the mountain breeze. By the time the two hurried up the mountain to return to the mansion, it was already late at night.

However, Rong Zhao did not show any sign of sleepiness. Instead, after looking around, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a happy smile.

"Let's go," he whispered to the person beside him, "let's go together to visit father and uncle. I just noticed that the candle in their room has not been extinguished, so I guess they haven't rested yet." After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the main house with steady and firm steps.

After entering the room, Lin Huan took a deep breath, calmed himself, walked up to his father and Old Man Ye, and bowed respectfully.

After completing the etiquette, Lin Huan slowly raised her head and cast her eyes on the two old men sitting above. She carefully looked at their faces, trying to catch any slight changes from their expressions. After some observation, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief - the two old men looked pretty good, and there was no obvious abnormality or worry on their faces. Their eyes were still bright and energetic, revealing a kind of calmness and wisdom after years of precipitation.

"Okay, Ah Huan, didn't you take the children out for a walk? Why did you come back first?" Mr. Hu Jing waved to them with a smile and called his little daughter to his side.

"Xingzhi took the children to climb the mountain. It will probably take a day or two for them to come back." Lin Huan paused for a moment and said, "And I... I... actually I suddenly missed you, father, so I decided to come back to see you first."

Of course, there was another reason that prompted Lin Huan to return early, but it is undeniable that this reason was also very important. Strangely enough, these days, her longing for her father became stronger and stronger... That feeling was like a surging tide, making her want to return to her father immediately. She desperately wanted to see him in person, as if only this could relieve the uneasiness and anxiety deep in her heart.

Every thought told her, "Go back quickly!" It was as if time was impatiently slipping away from her hands. If she didn't seize the opportunity to see her father a few more times, she might really lose him forever. This inexplicable but real fear lingered in her heart, forcing Lin Huan to embark on the journey home without hesitation under the pressure of another reason.

"Well... it's good that you came back early, so that I can spend more time with Jingzhi." Mr. Ye smiled slightly, with a hint of pampering and relief in his eyes. He gently stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "In fact, your father also misses you very much. Every time he sees you surrounded by those children, his heart is filled with happiness, but he is embarrassed to compete with the children for your precious daughter. After all, as the head of the family, he always feels that he should maintain some dignity and solemnity."

Mr. Ye paused and continued, "But in fact, this is not his style at all... But you know, his love for you deep in his heart is no less than that of those children. He is just not good at expressing it. So, when you are not at home, he always silently pays attention to your every move, looking forward to your early return. And now, you are finally back, I believe he will feel extremely happy and satisfied."

Lin Huan sat down next to his father, letting him hold the back of his hand and pat it gently. But as he was patting, the warm hands suddenly stopped.

“Ah Huan, what’s wrong with the wound on your hand…?” The old man frowned and asked softly.

"I went to the Yiyan Temple to burn myself accidentally." Lin Huan smiled, "I'm fine, father."
