The family was chatting, and Shang Dongyuan walked over from one side, looking at Chu Lianghua and Li Li.

"Uncle, Aunt, are you going home first? I’ll arrange someone to escort you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaoge nodded and made arrangements for her parents.

"Mom and Dad, you should leave first; it’s a bit chaotic at the entrance. I’ll come home a bit later to find you." Chu Xiaoge knew her father had just recovered from a serious illness, and with today’s running around, she worried he would be exhausted.

Chu Lianghua nodded, "Alright, we’ll head back first, then."

Saying this, he took Chuchu along and went home.

After sending off her parents and Chuchu, Chu Xiaoge turned back and excitedly asked Shang Dongyuan, "Xing Chen is back now, has Xiangsi returned? Where is she now?"

As soon as Chu Xiaoge thought of Ran Xiangsi’s return, her mood inexplicably improved, and she couldn’t focus on anything else.

She didn’t even want to delve into Shang Dongyuan and Panpan’s matters anymore.

Shang Dongyuan heard that she was solely focused on Ran Xiangsi, and he felt a bit bitter and uncomfortable inside.

"She should be coming shortly. Xing Chen has gone to pick her up."

Xing Chen had just left; otherwise, Shang Dongyuan wouldn’t have had time to come over.

"That’s wonderful!" Chu Xiaoge became even happier, her mind fixed solely on finally reuniting with her friend after five years. She completely overlooked the fact she had followed Shang Dongyuan into his office.

As soon as Chu Xiaoge stepped inside, Shang Dongyuan shut the door behind her, locking it.

"Tell me, are you her?!"

With a boom, the words exploded in Chu Xiaoge’s head.

She froze for a moment, her eyes wide open, staring at the amber eyes looming above her.
