With this money in hand, Fu Linchuan wouldn't have to worry about money at all if he wanted to do whatever he wanted.

Every step he took was planned, and he has come this far step by step.

After that, Fu Linchuan's plan was to gradually enter the real estate market.

He started making furniture in order to expand into home decoration later.

In short, now that I've been reborn, I won't let the knowledge I have go to waste.

Fu Linchuan often took time to pick up and drop off Xu Chunmai from get off work.

The couple also often take their child out for a walk or a stroll.

Whenever a new Chunmai Noodle Shop opened in a new place, Fu Linchuan would take Xu Chunmai to check it out and have a bowl of noodles.

For Fu Linchuan and Xu Chunmai, this was an experience, a memory.

While Xu Chunmai was on summer vacation, Fu Linchuan got her visa and told her, "Pack your things, I'm taking you to Europe."

Xu Chunmai was very surprised, "Go to Europe? What are you going there for?"

"Let's go check out our new noodle shop's opening," Fu Linchuan said, pulling Xu Chunmai's hand.

Her hands were delicate and soft, without a trace of roughness.

Xu Chunmai's eyes widened. "Your new store has opened in Europe?"

"It's not my new store, it's our new store, Chunmai's new store," Fu Linchuan corrected her.

Xu Chunmai laughed, "Great! We're free right now, so how about just the two of us?"

Fu Linchuan nodded. "Yes, just the two of us."

He said in a low voice, "Let's have some time alone together and enjoy ourselves without being disturbed by anyone else."

Xu Chunmai blushed slightly, "Okay."

Fu Linchuan laughed and said, "Shu Ning and Le An have both signed up for courses they like. They just don't have time. At their age, studying is more important. They will have plenty of time and opportunities to go out in the future."

After talking to his family, Fu Linchuan made arrangements for his work and then took Xu Chunmai on a plane to Europe.

The plane slowly took off and gradually ascended.

Xu Chunmai leaned against the window, looking out.

From the time I met and married Fu Linchuan until now, every little detail seems to flash before my eyes.

The initial hardships and the later sweetness—no matter what, he always put himself first.

She often thought that she must have accumulated good karma in her past life to be able to meet such a good man as Fu Linchuan.

Upon arriving in Europe, Fu Linchuan had already booked a hotel.

At first, Fu Linchuan did not take Xu Chunmai to the newly opened noodle shop he had mentioned.

Instead, he took her to various places to travel.

Over the years, Fu Linchuan has also taken Xu Chunmai to many places.

Wherever she went, Fu Linchuan would arrange everything perfectly, so she didn't have to worry about anything.

Every place has a different view, and as long as Fu Linchuan is there, Xu Chunmai can truly relax completely.

In the evening, after taking a bath, the two lay on the soft, large bed.

Fu Linchuan gently stroked Xu Chunmai's soft hair. "Are you tired today?"

Xu Chunmai turned over to look at him, "It's okay, I had a lot of fun."

Fu Linchuan curled the corners of his lips, leaned closer, and said softly, "Since it's alright, let's take this time to exercise."

After an unknown amount of time, Fu Linchuan carried her into the bathroom.

Xu Chunmai leaned lazily against Fu Linchuan, "Dachuan, sometimes I feel like my life right now is a dream."

Fu Linchuan kissed her forehead. "It can't be a dream. Why don't you pinch me? It'll definitely hurt."

Xu Chunmai laughed, "How could I bear to pinch you? I'd rather pinch myself."

"That won't do, I can't bear to do that."

Lying back down on the bed, Xu Chunmai was so tired that she quickly fell asleep.

Looking at Xu Chunmai, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Fu Linchuan felt at ease and happy.

That night, Xu Chunmai slept very soundly.

She felt like she had a very long and very real dream.

In her dream, she returned to the house where Lin Youfu and Wu Chunhua lived.

The house and yard weren't as old as they are now.

Xu Chunmai could see the dilapidated warehouse where she and Fu Linchuan lived more than a decade ago.

She pushed open the door and went inside, only to be shocked to see her former self, heavily pregnant, struggling to get out of bed.

Lying next to her was the emaciated Fu Shuning. At that time, she didn't have a name yet, and everyone just called her Daya.

Xu Chunmai followed him and clearly felt that pain.

The pain of labor pains, the pain of childbirth.

But to her shock, she watched as her child, though born with great difficulty, died shortly after birth.

She also suffered severe bleeding and died directly from childbirth.

Upon seeing this, Xu Chunmai woke up from her nightmare in a fright.

Fu Linchuan had just fallen asleep when he sensed that Xu Chunmai was having a nightmare.

A moment later, Xu Chunmai's scream was heard.

Fu Linchuan took her hand. "Chunmai."

Upon hearing Fu Linchuan's voice, Xu Chunmai immediately snapped back to reality.

She opened her eyes and looked around; it was still a hotel, not Wu Chunhua's home.

She took two deep breaths. She wasn't dead?

"Had a nightmare?" Fu Linchuan said, turning on the bedside lamp.

Xu Chunmai nodded, then sat up.

Fu Linchuan poured her a glass of water.

Xu Chunmai took a couple of sips of water, feeling that the scene in her dream was too real.

“I just dreamt that I went back to Wu Chunhua’s house, back when the two of us were still living in that storage room.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Linchuan's heart tightened.

“I dreamt that when I was pregnant with Le’an, I saw Shu Ning lying there, so small and emaciated. I saw Le’an die immediately after birth, and I saw myself die too…”

Fu Linchuan hugged Xu Chunmai tightly, "Chunmai, that was a dream, it's not real."

Xu Chunmai felt Fu Linchuan's warmth, listened to his voice, and felt his heartbeat in her ear.

That's right, that's what makes it real.

That was just a dream.

Fu Linchuan continued, "Chunmai, we are doing very well now, very happy, aren't we? Those bad times are long gone. Le'an is doing well with her great-grandparents. She's mischievous and naughty every day, just like a little rascal, isn't she?"

Xu Chunmai nodded. "Yes, that was just a dream."

Fu Linchuan dared not say that it was a reality truly created because of him.

When the first Chunmai Noodle Shop in Europe opened, Fu Linchuan and Xu Chunmai each ate a bowl of noodles.

Xu Chunmai put the noodles in her mouth and looked at him with a smile, "Dachuan, are you going to open noodle shops with this flavor all over the world?"

“Of course, I mean what I say,” Fu Linchuan said with a smile. “I want the name ‘Chunmai’ to appear everywhere. I want everyone to know that Xu Chunmai’s noodles are the best-tasting noodles in the world.”

That bowl of noodles sustained him through so many years in his past life, and it has sustained him through this life, bringing him to where he is today.

Happy now.
