Chapter 2245 - 2245: Reunion

From absolute authority, it has become like this now.

Fallen from the altar, he is now nothing more than a mere commoner.

And he was defeated by young men like Liu Zhizhong, defeated by those who once privately called him the Emperor, and abandoned by them.

This kind of loneliness and loss, like a world left behind, is really too difficult to describe, too hard to narrate.

At this moment, Zhao Yan was walking in the garden.

She is two years younger than Liu Zhizhong, and this year is her zodiac year, 36 years old.

But at such an age, as an unrivaled dancer, her figure is still like before. Like before, you know?

Her appearance, still as beautiful as ever!

The purity and beauty in her expression remain unchanged.

Seeing his daughter, for a moment, Gu Changsha was at a loss for words.

Calm like water, proudly independent, such a rare gem of a woman in the mortal world!

Gu Changsha felt an inexplicable pride inside.

Thinking she was once Liu Zhizhong's wife, oh... Gu Changsha could only sigh, it's fate, and love sometimes, no matter when or where, no matter how separated, can still reunite.

He wiped his tears, his waist slightly bent, after all, he was already in his seventies. Ah, at seventy, what else to think about? Being the Emperor for a lifetime, what does it matter?

Zhao Yan also saw her father's tears and understood something.

Her heart surged with an indescribable excitement.

The fact that her father returned so early, and cried, clearly showed that her husband succeeded!

Oh heavens... the vanity in a woman's heart, was extremely satisfied.

My husband, he pulled the Emperor down from his horse...

She walked out of the garden, towards Gu Changsha.

And Gu Changsha, naturally, was also walking towards his daughter.

"Father..."

"Yan'er..."

They simultaneously called out to each other, and then both smiled lightly.

Gu Changsha's eyes were still a bit moist, he nodded slightly.

He was the first to speak, saying, "Yan'er, my dear daughter, your husband has returned, you knew about it early on, didn't you?"

"I..."

Zhao Yan hesitated for a moment, her face unexpectedly flushed with a girlish shyness, "I only found out last night."

"What?"

Gu Changsha was surprised, but waved it off, "It doesn't matter, I won't blame you for not telling me. Which woman is not selfish for her husband? Moreover, your husband, came back to overthrow your father, haha... the drama you both played for so many years, it was really acted out so well. It made me think, he was just Chi Zhongshui, just someone I thought was a match for my daughter. I didn't expect, you had already been secretly communicating, recognized each other long ago, just couldn't reunite. Now, the reunion can begin."

Zhao Yan: "Father, are you saying... Zhizhong, he has already succeeded?"

"My daughter is so clever, does it need to be said? Your husband defeated his father-in-law, he did brilliantly. Searching through history, whether Dadong's or the world's, there has never been a revolution as successful as his was today. No bloodshed, not even tears, and he achieved it. The man you married before, being able to do this, he has lived up to you, to himself, and to the Great East Pot. No more to say, you and the maids prepare, tonight, he will come home for dinner, and drink a glass with me. You will reunite formally!"

Zhao Yan was delighted, "Oh heavens, you were defeated by him, and he comes home to drink a glass with you?"

"What else? I just left gracefully, not a prisoner. He also isn't taking the throne, isn't taking anything, just for a while he will lead the reform work, and then just be himself, be your husband. So, we are equals, even he must respectfully call me 'Dad', you know?"

Saying so, Gu Changsha's spirits lifted, the aura of pride and authority was still evident.

He is the father-in-law, he is the father, as if it was his only advantage over Liu Zhizhong, hahaha...

Naturally, Gu Changsha already decided, he would bring out the best bottle of wine at home.

This wine's history, if one were to speak of it, truly has history, hehe...

And Liu Zhizhong, he fell asleep shortly after getting into the car.

When the 8819 internal guard who drove reminded him they had arrived, Liu Zhizhong woke up.

Liu Zhizhong came here by special car, in a very low-key manner, without even a convoy of escort vehicles.

Just one car, an 8819 internal guard, plus him.

Just so simple!

When his special car drove to the entrance of Gu Changsha's house, Gu Changsha and Zhao Yan were already waiting inside.

Seeing this son-in-law arriving in such a manner, Gu Changsha was indeed moved: This kid, indeed not fussy about things, indeed a principled man, still playing simple politics, yet it's truly not simple!

Liu Zhizhong rubbed his drowsy eyes, got out of the car, and walked briskly toward the Gu father and daughter.

In the father and daughter's eyes, Liu Zhizhong was still so steady, masculine, full of energy, and extraordinarily young.

Gu Changsha's face showed the smile of a father-in-law, his mindset was much more relaxed now.

In Zhao Yan's eyes, her husband's appearance might have changed, his complexion changed, but his eyes had not changed.

The look in those eyes when looking at her, it was still unchanged, very gentle, just like before.

In Liu Zhizhong's eyes, now, Gu Changsha no longer had the majestic presence of a king, his attire was also more aligned with the Great East Pot, like a simple retired old man.

His wife in his eyes, ah, his wonderfully beautiful wife, so gorgeous, so sexy. In the winter, the climate here is well-regulated, still as warm as spring.

Thus, Zhao Yan was still in her dress, with long hair, as gentle as water, her figure like a goddess!

Coming before the father and daughter, Liu Zhizhong opened his arms, first tightly hugged Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan embraced him actively, everything coordinated so well!

These young people, who finally sincerely embraced after all these years, completed love's reunion.

This embrace, they both closed their eyes, tightly holding each other, embracing, smelling each other's scent, feeling each other's heartbeat.

Everything in the world was no more, only them! Their silhouettes, their breathing, their heartbeats...

The tighter the embrace, the more excited they became, the longer they embraced, unwilling to let go.

On the side, Gu Changsha could see, tears already streaming from his daughter's eyes.

And in Liu Zhizhong's eyes, tears too were flowing.

At that moment, Gu Changsha's heart was filled with a father's tenderness.

These young people who had suffered a bitter fate, who could imagine what they went through? Who could imagine the mortal world miracle they created?

After a good while, Gu Changsha coughed, "Um... the two of you, is the father here acting like a third wheel, too bright, isn't it?"

Unconsciously, both Liu Zhizhong and Zhao Yan smiled, opened their eyes, looked at each other's tears, and couldn't help but gaze deeply, actually unable to resist, and embraced each other once more.

Gu Changsha was speechless... oh...

How did they end up hugging again?
