Chapter 216: He’s awake
Tang Xue Mei smiled through her tears, watching as her father softly caressed Shenhua’s tiny hand. She took a deep breath, her heart feeling light for the first time in so long. Gently, she stepped back, giving Su Huiying a moment alone with her husband.
"Dad," she said softly, glancing at the others in the room. "I want to introduce you to a few important people."
Tang Zijun’s tired eyes shifted, following her gaze. Tang Xue Mei walked to where Xia Yuya was and held her hand gently.
"Dad...this is my mother-in-law," Xue Mei said with a warm smile. "She’s Feng Shihan’s mother. She’s been such a big help with everything, especially with the twins."
Xia Yuya, patted Tang Xue Mei’s hands gently, as she smiled softly, bowing her head slightly. "It’s an honor to finally meet you, Mr. Tang. I’ve heard so much about you, and I’m so happy to see you awake and well."
Tang Zijun nodded weakly, his voice raspy but filled with gratitude. "Thank you... for taking care of my daughter."
Xia Yuya smiled, her eyes soft. "They’re wonderful. It’s a joy to be part of their lives."
"And this," Tang Xue Mei continued, her tone brightening as she gestured toward the kind older woman standing quietly in the background, "is Auntie Gu. She’s been with us for years, helping with the house and taking care of me, Shihan... and now the twins."
Auntie Gu, her hands folded in front of her, stepped forward with a smile. "Master Tang, it’s such a relief to see you awake. I’ve been praying for this day for a long time."
