Hao Ren was pulled inside the portal by Hao Xinyuan. The young man was dazed for a few moments before he found that it was his father who brought him back to the house. Hao Ren freed himself from the gaze and turned around to find his parents looking at him with eyes wide open.
The young man asked, "What? Have I changed a bit too much?"
Hao Xinyuan narrowed his gaze and asked, "How did you get that tattoo on your arm?"
The young man smiled and replied, "Alliance with the Naga Clan. Is it a bad thing?"

Tang Zen mumbled, "Naga Clan was a behemoth existence in the northern region. With this, Hao Ren won't be threatened by Hao Tian and his pursuit."
Hao Ren waved his hand and asked, "Where is Lingshi?"
Hao Xinyuan replied, "She is at her office, today she is meeting a few important people and might be late when she comes home."
The young man nodded and then headed to his room to take a shower and shave off the stubble of hair growing on his face. The process did not take him long, after dressing up he was back to his business elite avatar, and headed out of the house with quick steps.
The older couple knew that he was heading to meet Han Lingshi so they did not say anything to stop him as well.
...
Hao Ren turned around and as soon as he saw Han Lingshi, he dashed forward. The two women had no clue that Hao Ren had come over, and Han Lingshi reacted in a different manner than what Hao Ren expected, and she quickly shifted her weight and retreated two feet away from his figure before she punched forward.
Thankfully, Hao Ren was skilled enough to catch the fist and he exclaimed, "Lingshi, do you wish to kill your husband?"
Han Lingshi and Maya were shocked when they heard this, and Han Lingshi looked at him with a surprised gaze. She retracted her fist and covered her face with the same hand. She was shocked and quickly asked, "Ren, are you okay?"
Hao Ren shook his head and pointed at his chest where the heart is located as he said, "It hurts here, I came over as soon as I got back and this is how I am greeted."
Han Lingshi rolled her eyes and said, "Such a cringy line, for this you should be beaten."
Hao Ren was surprised but then he chuckled and Han Lingshi threw herself in his embrace. The young man was happy to feel the familiar figure in his arms, and the warmth that came from her. He closed his eyes as he inhaled the faint fragrance emitting from her skin. It seemed to calm down his agitated heart.
Han Lingshi was feeling the same, she missed the rigid, firm muscles and the heat, and the strong embrace that held her securely. She asked, "What took you so long?"
Hao Ren smiled and replied, "Was earning your gift."
Han Lingshi said, "You are the only gift I ever wished for."
Hao Ren shook his head slowly and wanted to say something when Maya cleared her throat. The couple came out of the embrace, and the young man said, "You must be Miss Maya Okudera. Am I right?"
Maya nodded and Hao Ren thanked her for supporting Han Lingshi when they were facing the terrorists. Han Lingshi let the two have a small talk before she said, "Maya, can you excuse us. I have a few things to talk with him."
Maya nodded and then she left after turning around her wheelchair. The couple looked at each other, this was what they wanted, to be left alone with each other so that they could express their love for each other and talk about the secret lives they had.
