Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1470 - 748: Joy Fills the House

The footsteps of Shen Liu paused slightly, and his gaze seemed to linger for a moment on Lian Manman’s face. However, he quickly retracted his gaze and, surrounded by the crowd, walked into the Shili Pavilion.

In everyone’s eyes, Shen Liu’s action just now was not abrupt; it might have been just an ordinary glance. But Lian Manman couldn’t think so, because she couldn’t ignore the eagerness in Shen Liu’s eyes just now.

Shen Liu had indeed noticed her, and moreover, with such eager eyes.

Lian Manman took two deep breaths slowly to calm her heartbeat. She carefully looked around her, and fortunately, Lady Zhang, Lian Zhizhi, and Xiao Qi were all excited and nervous at this moment. They also saw Shen Liu, but were more looking forward to Wu Lang’s appearance, so no one noticed her unusual moment.

After calming her emotions, Lian Manman also followed everyone’s gaze and looked towards the convoy.

The family didn’t see Wu Lang, but saw Lian Shouxin rushing towards them with some people from the road.

"...There, look, Wu Lang is coming." Lian Shouxin walked to Lady Zhang’s side, pointing to a part of the convoy, speaking with excitement.

Lian Manman followed the direction of Lian Shouxin’s finger and saw Wu Lang walk out from the convoy. Being a bit far, they couldn’t see his face clearly, but just by the gestures, the family recognized Wu Lang. Wu Lang was dressed in a brocade garment, covered with a sapphire blue sable fur overcoat, and he also wore a sable hat on his head.

As Wu Lang walked closer, making his face clear, Lian Manman noticed that perhaps due to the journey, Wu Lang’s face appeared slightly weathered, but his eyes were bright and spirited. Shen Qian walked alongside Wu Lang, also in brocade and sable fur, the two talking as they walked.

"Wu Lang..." Lady Zhang called out, her eyes immediately becoming moist.

"...I just met Wu Lang and told him you all are here. It’s crowded and inconvenient to talk. Wu Lang will follow Sixth Master’s convoy into the city, so he can’t come over to see us first. Just from this distance, everyone can have a glimpse, and then we’ll go home to wait for him," Lian Shouxin said.

Lady Zhang nodded, agreeing.

Since Wu Lang had already met Lian Shouxin and knew the family had come out of the city to greet him, he was on the nearby slope. Wu Lang deliberately walked a few more steps towards the slope, and as they got closer, everyone could clearly see each other. Wu Lang looked over at where the family stood, a smile on his lips, eyes eager.

The entire family was all smiles, though unable to shout, they all waved vigorously at Wu Lang. In the crowd, not being able to salute, Wu Lang also raised his hand and waved at everyone.

Shen Qian, standing beside Wu Lang, also looked over at them, then smiled and waved as well.

Wu Lang and Shen Qian, both seemed to have grown somewhat after these two months of trials.

"Wu Lang said it’s cold outside, and told us to go back early to avoid freezing. As soon as things are settled on his side, he will come back immediately." Watching Wu Lang and Shen Qian also walk into the Shili Pavilion, Lian Shouxin conveyed Wu Lang’s words.

Even though Wu Lang spoke like that, nobody thought about leaving first. Not until they saw Shen Liu, Wu Lang, Shen Qian, and those who had come to greet them all get into their carriages or onto their horses, and the convoy majestically headed towards the city, did they get into their own carriage, descend the slope, and, following behind the convoy, entered the city.

Lian Manman and others returned to the residence, waiting for about half a Chinese hour, and Wu Lang returned.

When the family reunited, the warmth and affection needing no words were apparent.

"Didn’t you come back quickly, though you said you wouldn’t be back until the evening?" Lian Shouxin was surprised and delighted to see Wu Lang return so early.

"Knowing the family misses me, Sixth Master let me return first. There’s a banquet in the evening, I can go then." Wu Lang said with a smile.

"...Hasn’t thinned, seems to have grown taller." Lady Zhang grasped Wu Lang, reluctant to let go, examining him up and down, left and right, fearing Wu Lang had suffered hardship or misery on the road.

Lian Manman and Xiao Qi also came forward, deliberately circling Wu Lang, chatting and laughing incessantly, while Lian Zhizhi sat shyly beside them, a smile on her lips, her eyes moist.

Having spoken with Lian Manman and Xiao Qi, Wu Lang especially went to Lian Zhizhi, affectionately calling her sister. Lian Manman and Xiao Qi were still young, and would remain together in the future, while Lian Zhizhi was about to get married soon.

Once everyone had enough of the affection, they sat in a circle, inquiring about Wu Lang’s journey, especially his experiences in the Capital City.
