The Long-awaited Mr Han Chapter 3020 You Should Open the Door
“Take care and be safe. Don’t fling the door open; ascertain who is outside first,” Han Zhuoling urged.
“Yes, I will.” Shi Xiaoya took Han Zhuoling’s advice to heart.
She made her way to the door.
She recalled Han Zhuoling’s recent reminder, which had been spoken not long before.
It was the perfect moment to genuinely reassure Han Zhuoling, who was on the other end.
Thus, Shi Xiaoya did not immediately unlock the door.
Instead, she called out through the door, “Who’s there?”
Han Zhuoling was momentarily at a loss for words.
With a worried expression, Shi Xiaoya turned to Han Zhuoling, “The person outside didn’t respond to me.”
Fortunately, she was currently conversing with Han Zhuoling.
Even though Han Zhuoling wasn't truly beside her, merely seeing him on the screen was enough to soothe Shi Xiaoya.
“But fortunately, I’m in the same room as Yujie. If something were to truly occur, Yujie is here as well to handle it,” Shi Xiaoya said, patting her chest reassuringly. “Yujie is in the shower, though. Perhaps I should wait until she’s finished.”
Han Zhuoling found himself speechless once more.
“You ought to open the door,” Han Zhuoling stated with a sigh.
His intention was to leverage this moment to instill greater vigilance in Shi Xiaoya, thereby ensuring her safety. Unexpectedly, as Shi Xiaoya became more cautious, he found himself in a state of distress.
“Hmm?” Shi Xiaoya paused, a flicker of confusion on her face.
Within a brief instant, realization dawned upon her.
Through the screen, Han Zhuoling witnessed Shi Xiaoya’s face light up with understanding.
Without a second’s hesitation, Shi Xiaoya promptly opened the door.
As anticipated, just as she had suspected, Han Zhuoling was standing right there at the doorway.
Shi Xiaoya was so utterly surprised that she nearly wept with relief.
Moments earlier, during their video call, her yearning for him had been so intense that she had felt on the verge of tears.
Even through the digital connection, the pang of missing him lingered stubbornly.
And now, after only a few minutes, the very person she longed for had materialized directly before her.
How could such a turn of events not elicit astonishment?
Overwhelmed with surprise, Shi Xiaoya instinctively leaped for joy, directly into Han Zhuoling’s embrace.
In her elation, she momentarily forgot that their call was still active.
Han Zhuoling smiled and held her securely in his arms.
With one arm around her body and the other gently cradling her head, he then bestowed a kiss upon her.
Shi Xiaoya was not alone in feeling as though time dragged its feet when they were apart.
Even he shared that sentiment.
During his work earlier that day, an unsettling restlessness had taken hold of him.
The thought of returning home to an empty space, without her presence, had sapped his motivation for any productive effort.
For without her, their home held no allure, no compelling reason to return.
It mattered little where he slept; the emptiness persisted.
Consequently, his work that day felt devoid of purpose.
Now, Han Zhuoling had finally recaptured that old disposition of his, the one where he would rather immerse himself in work than return home.
It wasn't that he genuinely relished his work or considered it his life's sole focus; rather, apart from the confines of his office, he had no other destination.
There was simply no reason drawing him back to his residence.
It was the same regardless of where he chose to stay.
With no other pressing matters, work was his only recourse.
But at this moment, he felt no inclination towards work; his sole desire was to remain perpetually by Shi Xiaoya’s side.
This burgeoning feeling made him feel as though he had reverted to his youthful days. Despite his advanced age and mature demeanor, he found himself swayed by the currents of his emotions.
However, Han Zhuoling harbored no aversion to this particular sensation.
He tightened his embrace around Shi Xiaoya, holding her even closer.
Then, with an almost immediate surge of momentum, he pressed her against the wall, drawing them intimately close.
Fueled by this passionate impulse, he lifted her high into his arms.
