Welcome home(2)
Wang Lixue was feeling overwhelmed by everything. She does not know what to do. 'Gosh! Should I run?' She feels very awkward. That awkwardness was felt by Liu Jin, staff and as well as the bodyguards.
"You have to relax, Young Miss. This is your home." Liu Jin gently nudged her to step forward. Wang Lixue turned to look at him. He gently smiled as he nodded. When she turned back to the direction of the mansion, she saw everyone smiling at her, encouraging her to come inside the extravagant mansion. Seeing the friendly smiles of the staff, Lixue started to feel at ease and made her way up the stairway. Every step she takes, she feels more comfortable.
When she reached the top of the stairs alongside Liu Jin, she saw an old man by the door waiting for them. She (again) turned to Liu Jin with a curious face that seems to ask who the old man is.
"Housekeeper Shen." Liu Jin smiles at the old man.
"Young Master Jin. Is this..?" housekeeper Shen bowed to Liu Jin and gestures towards Lixue. His eyes moist and he seems to be on the verge of crying.
"She's Wang Lixue, the young miss Wang."
"Young Miss! *sniff* Welcome home.*sniff*" Housekeeper Shen bowed to Lixue.
"Young Miss, this is old man Shen Huang Hao. The housekeeper of the Wang family and the most trusted personnel of Master Wang, your father."
"Nice to meet you, housekeeper Shen." Lixue gently smiles at the old man. Seeing her smile, the old man wailed like a child. "Ayoo! You really are our young miss! huhu!"
Liu Jin chuckles and reminds housekeeper Shen that there are still people inside waiting for Lixue. Because of that the old man tried to compose himself as he guided them to enter the threshold.

The middle aged couple then stood up from their seat and headed to the door. When they just stepped into the hallway, the door opened revealing the crying house keeper. "Master! Madam! *sniff* The young.. the young miss is back! *sniff* Finally back!"
Behind the old housekeeper stands their nephew Liu Jin, beside him is a very beautiful young lady. Her pale porcelain skin in contrast of her pitch black long hair.
Seeing the beautiful lady, Mother Wang hugged her husband and cried softly. Father Wang looks at Lixue tenderly with tears in his eyes. "Xiao Xue?"
Looking at the couple in front of her, Lixue feels a little tightness in her chest. She knitted her brows when she saw them cry in each other's arms. Then she heard Father Wang say "Xiao Xue". The way he said those words made Lixue feel somewhat comforted. On instinct, she called him back while looking at him with uncertainty. "Daddy?"
Hearing her long lost daughter call her husband 'daddy', Mother Wang wailed as she gets out from Father Wang's arms and throws herself at Wang Lixue. "My baby! Huhuhu. My baby! Oh how much we missed you! *sniff sniff* You're finally home! My baby is finally home!"
Lixue was shocked at first by the sudden hug attack but she hugged Mother Wang back. "Mm. Mommy, I'm home." She didn't know herself but tears also starts to flow out of her golden brown eyes. While hugging her mother, she looked at her father and they made eye contact. Both looking at the same golden eyes. Extending her other arm, she called out. "Daddy."
