The two children cried in Wen Ai's arms, and Wen Ai's nose also felt sore. Xiao Liang rubbed his eyes, said in a muffled voice that it was annoying to listen to, and pushed them inside.

"Come and see who's back!" His shout attracted everyone at the orphanage. Miao Yang rubbed his eyes and dashed out.

"Ozawa! Ozawa's back!" Coolie's pupils dilated as he exclaimed in surprise.

The cubs surrounded Wen Ai in the middle, and Xiao Li flew to Wen Ai's shoulder to look at Wen Ze, letting out a series of melodious chirps.

Wen Ai put Wen Ze down, and he was enveloped in fur. Each cub came over and rubbed its head to show its longing and affection, but Terra, whose sense of smell was the most sensitive, shook its head: "Little Ze, why do you have so many unfamiliar scents on you?"

Bai Dixi twitched her nostrils, also finding it hard to stand; the smell of the carnivorous beastmen made her uncomfortable: "Yes, yes, and there's also a fox smell!"

Wen Ze felt inexplicably guilty for some reason, probably because he had picked up the smell at the orphanage in Black Gold City.

Hearing what the two little females were saying, Leng Fan also moved closer to Wen Ze to smell him. The complicated smell was something that beasts didn't like.

"To take a bath."

"Okay, I'll go in a bit."

Wen Ze came out smelling fresh after his shower. As he entered the classroom, he heard a soft rustling sound as shimmering confetti rained down. Everyone shouted in unison, "Welcome home, Xiao Ze!" Wen Ze's eyes instantly welled up with tears. He said emotionally, "Thank you everyone. I missed you all so much."

Afterwards, everyone sat down around Wenze and bombarded him with questions about his experiences outside. Wenze excitedly recounted the novelties of Black Gold City and mentioned some of the cubs he had encountered there. When he mentioned a fox that liked to stay with him, Bai Di snorted and muttered "cunning fox," which drew laughter from everyone.

Wen Ai listened quietly from the side. Xiao Ze's safe return was the greatest fortune; she had no other wish.

Not only them, but when Wen Ze appeared in front of the live broadcast, countless fans also welcomed him back. However, when they asked where Wen Ze had gone, the orphanage avoided the question.

Leaving aside Lan Yue's reaction, the Leng family had already learned of Leng Fan's existence. They had been eagerly anticipating their meeting since Wen Ai boarded the starship a few days ago, but the day of their reunion had been indefinitely delayed and remained far off.

"I can't wait any longer, I'll go pick them up." In the Black Tiger branch of the Leng family, besides Leng Ranran, there is also the eldest son Leng Chenfeng, who is already a general, and the youngest sister Leng Linlin.

Leng Linlin is a doctor at the Federal Medical College. Compared to soldiers, she has more free time. When she heard that her second sister's cub might be found, she couldn't wait any longer.

Now that things have been delayed, she volunteered to go to Shanshan Star.

Leng Linlin contacted the orphanage and appeared at the door early in the morning. The moment she saw Leng Fan, she was certain that even if he wasn't her second sister's child, he was her eldest brother's child.

They look exactly alike.

But judging from Leng Fan's taciturn demeanor, he's probably just like that guy from the Yuan family.

Leng Linlin looked left and right and touched right, making Leng Fan a little uncomfortable. After realizing what was happening, she stopped and straightened her expression: "Little Leng Fan."

"?"

When Leng Linlin was looked at by those golden eyes that were inherited from her family, she felt a surge of affection and said, "You've had a hard time all these years."

Leng Fan was taken aback.

"There may be some misunderstandings, but there is one thing you must know."

"Your family loves you very much."

Leng Fan lowered his head, remained silent for a long time, and slowly spoke: "I always thought that I was abandoned." Leng Linlin hugged him tenderly and whispered: "How could that be? Too many accidents happened back then, which led to our separation." Leng Fan's eyes reddened slightly, and the knot in his heart that had been there for so many years seemed to loosen a little at this moment.

Leng Ranran knew about the dangers of that year. She briefly explained the situation, not to excuse the Leng family's mistakes, but to hope that Leng Fan would not be trapped in the shackles of being abandoned by his family.

At this moment, Wen Ai walked over with Xiao Ze. Seeing Leng Linlin and Leng Fan embracing, Wen Ai smiled with relief. Leng Linlin looked at Wen Ai and said gratefully, "Thank you for taking care of Fan Fan."

Wen Ai waved her hand, "It's what I should do."

She looked at Wen Ze apologetically, "I'm sorry, we were supposed to have a lavish meal on Anran Star, but now we have to wait." They were also investigating the space pirate attack; the Empire's reach had gone too far.

Wen Ze nodded obediently: "Auntie, please eat here first."

So cute! Wen Ze's adorable appearance was exactly what Leng Linlin wanted. If all cubs were this well-behaved, she wouldn't mind finding a partner.

Another day of chaos for Crown Prince Guderian in the Empire.

Guderian, also known as Orange, regained his memory with the help of a doctor. Looking back on the treacherous palace life, he missed his days in the orphanage.

He retains memories of his time as an orange, and his previously silent nature has become more stubborn. He thinks every day about how to leave the palace.

I failed again today.

He had regained his human form and attempted to disguise himself and scale the palace wall, but was discovered and stopped by the guards. Despite his reluctance, he was taken back to his room by his servants.

Guderian sat on the edge of the bed, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself. He knew that the failure was only temporary, and as long as he didn't give up, one day he would find a way to leave this place.

He was very stubborn and had previously protested by going on a hunger strike, but unfortunately, his protest was suppressed by Gunnar.

Night deepened, and the lights in the palace gradually went out, but Guderian felt no sleepiness. He began to devise a new plan in his mind, determined not to fail next time.

Just then, his door was gently opened. Guderian stood up alertly.

Someone walked in, and Guderian nervously took a step back, but then relaxed his guard.

"Father," he said softly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Then, according to etiquette, he bowed to his father, Emperor Gustav.

The visitor smiled slightly: "It seems you've recovered quite well."

The aristocracy was corrupt yet deeply entrenched, so Gustav had to proceed with extreme caution and deliberation when he wanted to implement new policies. He was very busy every day, and this time he only managed to take some time to visit his son.

Seeing those eyes that resembled those of his former love, Gustav's eyes filled with tenderness, and he became even gentler with his son: "Why have you been so naughty since you came back?"

“Father, I miss them…” Guderian said with some grievance, snuggling up to his father. He missed his companions.

Gustav had also heard of it, but Guderian was in the royal court.

“Ryan (nickname), you must remember that you are the Crown Prince. The title of Crown Prince is not only an honor, but also a responsibility.”
