The moment the car stopped, Xiao Lang, who had been waiting at the front desk, shot to his feet.
"Mom, I can smell Sister Shen! She's back!"
Cai Su, who had been worried sick, immediately rose and walked with her son toward the shop's entrance.
Fu Cheng had sensed Shen Lu's presence even before Xiao Lang did, but for reasons of his own, he didn't join them to greet her at the door. Instead, he turned and went upstairs.
Shen Lu dashed into the shop in a few quick strides, shaking the sand from her hair and pulling off her mask.
"Phew, I'm finally back."
"Sister Shen." Xiao Lang hugged her leg. "You're finally back! Mom and I were so worried about you!"
Cai Su looked her over from head to toe. Seeing no injuries, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as you're okay, that's all that matters."
"Sorry to have worried you."
