"Sister Lan, don't you welcome me?" Shangguan You asked with a faint smile. She was already standing before Li Lan, observing her joyful, excited, yet conflicted expression as she spoke softly.
"No, no, Miss! How could I not welcome you? I'm very happy, truly happy." As Li Lan spoke, the tears she had been holding back finally welled up and streamed down her face.
"Thank you all for everything you've done this past month." Shangguan You gently hugged Li Lan. After waiting for Li Lan's emotions to settle, she slowly released her and then looked at the five of them with a smile.
She was genuinely happy to see all of them here. These were the first to follow her, the ones she had employed certain methods to make them stay, yet now, she saw deep affection in them.
"Miss, it's what we should do."
