Chapter 145: Reunion at the Hot Spring Villa

After several days of recuperation, Ji Yun and the others finally recovered from their injuries. Mo Dong traveled daily between the Jishitang Clinic in Nanyang Prefecture and Taoyuan Villa, meticulously caring for each patient. On the third day after his return, Gu Yichen finally lost his patience and hurried to the hot spring villa. Ji Yun, Gu Yazhu, and Ji Junche, who followed him, were helpless at his impatience, as if they were worried that Lu Ling'er would leave at any moment.

The Hot Springs Villa is entering its final stages of construction. After months of meticulous refinement, the environment appears to have been completely transformed. The autumn scenery and the warm pools complement each other perfectly, creating a spring-like atmosphere. The charm of autumn is fully displayed here. The leaves are like a palette of reds, oranges, yellows, and greens, interwoven by the sun, and reflected in the clear water, like a magnificent natural painting.

A gentle breeze caresses the path, bringing wisps of fresh fragrance and refreshing the senses. On the other side of the mountaintop, a winding mountain road, like a silver ribbon, weaves its way gently down the lush green slopes. The road resembles a nimble dancer, each sharp turn a graceful dance with nature. Surrounded by lush vegetation, it teems with vitality. A thin mist, like a veil, gently shrouds the scene, casting a mysterious veil over it, adding a touch of tranquility and mystery.

The ingenious design of the villas features eight independent hot spring courtyards, each with its own unique charm, scattered along the banks of different springs. Each courtyard boasts its own outdoor hot spring pool. Chunhui Courtyard evokes the warmth of spring, while Xiahe Residence evokes the vitality of blooming lotuses. Qiufeng Pavilion offers a tranquil and picturesque autumn scene, reminiscent of a poem or painting. Dongmei Pavilion embodies the purity of winter plum blossoms. Other courtyards, such as Riyaozhai, Yueyingfang, Xingchenyuan, and Chenxiju, each embody a unique artistic conception.

At that moment, Lu Ling'er was reclining on a lounge chair beneath a small-leaved banyan tree in the Xiaheju Gardens. Sunlight filtered through the leaves like shredded gold, casting dappled shadows on her body. Beside her, a movable tea table held exquisite tea sets, like works of art. Nearby, a parasol swayed gently in the breeze like a graceful dancer. Her surroundings perfectly complemented the theme of her courtyard, as if even the air was filled with the refreshing fragrance of lotus flowers.

Gu Yichen felt a surge of warmth at the sight of Lu Ling'er. He hurried forward, his concerned words flowing out like a stream. "Ling'er, are you okay?" His voice was tinged with nervousness, as if he was carefully checking every detail about her. Gu Yichen's heart moved, and the scene before him was like a beautiful painting, instantly making him forget all his worries.

"Husband, you're back!" Lu Ling'er looked up, a smile as gentle as a spring flower blooming on her face, her eyes sparkling with the joy of reunion like stars. The moment Gu Yichen approached her, Lu Ling'er suddenly stood up like a cheerful little bird, ran towards him quickly, and hung on him like a koala.

Gu Yichen was stunned for a moment, his face filled with surprise and tenderness, as if overwhelmed by a torrent of happiness. He held her tightly, feeling her warmth as if basking in the long-lost sunshine. Ji Yun, Gu Yazhu, and Ji Junche, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but show awkward expressions like overripe apples, wondering if they should make the tactful exit like a bird. However, Lu Linger noticed the people behind Gu Yichen and was about to leave his warm embrace, but Gu Yichen clamped her tightly around her like an iron clamp, preventing her from moving.

At that moment, the atmosphere around them seemed to be cast under a spell, becoming subtle and warm, as if the whole world only contained the two of them, and all the complexities and embarrassments were surrounded by this affectionate barrier.

"You guys continue, let's go check out other things." Ji Yun cleared his throat, breaking the picturesque and warm atmosphere. He turned around and took Gu Yazhu and Ji Junche with him. Mo Dong also quietly retreated like a ghost, leaving Gu Yichen and Lu Linger some time alone. However, Gu Yichen held her tightly like steel, as firm as if guarding the most precious treasure in the world. His heart was filled with tenderness, and he whispered softly, "Let them go, you can't."

In this intimate moment, Gu Yichen, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, kissed the cherry lips of the person he had been thinking about day and night, gently but firmly. He knew that he could not do anything extreme to her at this moment, so he could only express his endless longing and silent protection for her and the child in her belly through this affectionate kiss.

Lu Linger was slightly startled, and then she felt Gu Yichen's passionate emotions like a volcanic eruption. The happiness in her heart rolled in like a surging tide, and she responded to his deep affection warmly.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to disappear without a trace, and only their heartbeats like drums echoed in their ears.
