Anan had grown fond of Uncle Qi, to the extent that he wanted to share his bed at night. The following day, despite Shao Yunduan's attempts to persuade him otherwise, Anan insisted on riding the horse with Uncle Qi instead of taking the carriage with his father.
Shao Yunduan sighed and relented.
After a day's journey, they reached Anze Prefecture City by evening.
Ms. Fang, Qiao Xuan, and the others were pleasantly surprised and delighted by their arrival. Taotao, especially, was overjoyed. Being twins with Qi, she had felt a twinge of regret at her wedding, as Qi had been absent.
Now, with Qi's return, the family was finally reunited. Happiness and laughter filled the household once more.
With the siblings grown and more children in the household, the atmosphere was lively.
Observing Qi, Zhao Shu discreetly glanced at his wife and whispered, "Seventh Brother and Taotao, you're twins, but you don't look very similar."
