At night, the manor was gently embraced by a layer of deep night, and everything was silent, with only the breeze blowing through the treetops, making a rustling sound. Lu Nanxu, Xin Mujing, Zheng Haoqian and Helian Minxiao, dressed in dark night clothes, with serious faces, were making final preparations intensively.

There was determination and resolve in their eyes, because tonight, they would carry out a crucial mission.

"The secret guards are already in place, and the perimeter of the villa is under close surveillance by our people."

Lu Nanxu's deep voice echoed in the secret room as he quickly and accurately distributed the final instructions. The other three nodded in agreement and checked their equipment to make sure everything was correct.

After everything was ready, the four people turned their eyes to Ji Yan who was standing beside them. She was wearing a simple long dress, with a gentle face, but her eyes could not hide her worry and reluctance.

Lu Nanxu sighed softly, took a step forward, and gently touched Ji Yan's head, with a soothing tone: "Ji Yan, you stay here and wait for our good news. We will bring Fu Jingyan back safely."

When Ji Yan heard this, her eyes turned slightly red. She suddenly threw herself into Lu Nanxu's arms, hugging him tightly with her arms, as if she wanted to integrate him into her own world.

"You all need to be careful and protect yourselves."

Her voice was trembling, but full of affection and trust for the men, "I'll wait for you to come back. You must be safe."

After that, she stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Lu Nanxu on the lips, which was her silent blessing and prayer. However, this scene triggered a small "protest" from the other three people.

Xin Mujing and Zheng Haoqian smiled at each other and said, "We want one too!"

Ji Yan smiled helplessly yet sweetly. She knew that this was a unique way for men to express their cherishment and reluctance to part with her.

So, she walked up to them one by one, stood on tiptoes, and gave them the same warm goodbye kiss. Every touch seemed to convey endless tenderness and concern.

When Ji Yan came in front of Helian Minxiao, he looked at her deeply, then gently pulled her over and hugged her tightly in his arms.

When Ji Yan was about to leave his lips, Helian Minxiao whispered in her ear: "Yan Yan, wait for me at home with the baby. I will come back with good news."

These words, full of determination and commitment, instantly calmed Ji Yan's heart.

Afterwards, Helian Minxiao slowly let go of Ji Yan, and the four of them looked at each other. There was no need for words, the tacit understanding and trust between them were enough to explain everything.

They turned around and stepped resolutely into the night, leaving behind only their determined backs.

Ji Yan stood there, watching the men leave, feeling mixed emotions. She shouted loudly.

"Be careful and protect yourself! The baby and I will be waiting for you at home!"

Her voice echoed in the night sky, carrying endless expectations and blessings.

As the men gradually disappeared into the night, Ji Yan took a deep breath and turned back to the house. She knew that although the wait was long and tormenting, she would firmly protect this home and wait for their triumphant return.

……

The men's figures finally disappeared completely in the darkness, leaving only a series of firm and heavy footsteps echoing in every corner of the manor. Ji Yan stood at the door, looking at the distance swallowed by the night, with mixed feelings in her heart.

She did not immediately return to the bedroom, which seemed unusually empty at the moment, but turned around and involuntarily walked towards the baby room.

In the baby room, soft lights fill every corner, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

The two little ones, brother Fu Xichen and sister Helian Chuyi, were lying quietly in their respective cradles and cribs, immersed in sweet dreams. Their breathing was even and gentle, as if even the air was filled with the smell of happiness.

Ji Yan slowly approached Fu Xichen, squatted down, and gazed at her son's tender little face with gentle eyes. She reached out and gently touched the little fist, feeling the warmth coming from her palm.

"Chenchen, you miss daddy too, right?"

Her voice was soft and loving, as if she was afraid of disturbing the child's sweet dream. "Don't worry, the godfathers have gone to find Dad, and they will be back with Dad soon. We just need to wait a little longer, and we will be able to see Dad soon."

Ji Yan continued to stroke Fu Xichen's little hand as she spoke, her eyes full of expectations and determination for the future.

However, little Xichen seemed to be completely immersed in his own world. He did not respond to his mother's words at all, only occasionally uttering a few soft mumblings in his sleep.

Looking at her son's carefree sleeping face, Ji Yan couldn't help but smile gently, thinking silently in her heart: "This is good, at least the baby won't feel any trouble because of my worry."

Then, she gently turned her gaze to Xiao Chuyi who was beside her. The little girl was sleeping soundly, and her pink face looked particularly cute under the moonlight. Ji Yan reached out and gently stroked her daughter's cheek, her eyes full of doting and love.

"Little lazy pig, you must pray that the fathers come back safely."

She said lovingly, with a barely perceptible pleading in her voice, "Then our family will be reunited and live happily together."

At this point, Ji Yan's eyes slightly reddened, but then were replaced by a resolute look. Her gaze penetrated the night, as if it could penetrate through all obstacles and see the figure in the distance who was about to return.

She knows very well that the road of waiting may be long and difficult, but having love and hope in one's heart is the most solid armor, enough to withstand all storms.

"Chenchen, Chuyi, mom will always be here with you."

She spoke softly, her voice full of tenderness and determination. Ji Yan stood up gently, her movements so gentle that it seemed as if she was afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the night and the children's sweet dreams.

She walked to the cradle and first tidied the corners of the quilt for her brother Fu Xichen to ensure that he would not be disturbed by the cold; then, she turned to her sister Fu Yuexi and gently touched her tender cheek with her fingertips, as if conveying silent comfort and love.

After completing all this, Ji Yan did not rush to leave, but chose to stay in the baby room, quietly guarding the two little lives.

She sat gently in a rocking chair beside her, and her hands unconsciously patted the two babies' bodies. It was a maternal instinct and the most gentle comfort she gave to her children.

"The moon is round, like a small boat, rocking and rocking, rocking to Grandma's Bridge..."

Ji Yan hummed a soft nursery rhyme, her voice was melodious and warm, like a spring breeze, bringing peace to people's hearts. Her singing not only showed her love for the children, but also her deep longing and expectation for her relatives far away.

With the melody of the nursery rhyme, the atmosphere in the baby room became warmer and more harmonious. The two babies seemed to be infected by the tranquility and slept more soundly. Ji Yan looked at them tenderly, silently praying for the safe return of the five men.
