When he arrived, Fu Chen'an saw that the gate was broken and the fences were damaged. His heart stuck in his throat as he jumped over the fence.
He thought that he would find his home destroyed, but when he landed in the yard, he saw that his wife was tending to the crops with her back facing him.
Seeing that the person he yearned for was fine, Fu Chen'an heaved a sigh of relief. His hanging heart finally returned to its place.
"Wife," he called out hoarsely.
Hearing the familiar voice, Yao Zhi turned around and saw that her husband was staring at her with bloodshot eyes. She looked at his dirty and unkempt appearance and asked in surprise, "Husband, why did you suddenly come back?"
Before she even finished her words, she was pulled into a broad chest.
Fu Chen'an didn't realize that his hand was shaking until he hugged his wife. He buried his face in the crook of her neck and took a deep breath.
