Si Qiao was at a loss for words, her mind replaying his words over and over: he said he loved her, that he didn't want her to leave again, and begged her to stay...

"You..." Si Qiao reached out and covered Qi's face with her hand, her eyes filled with pain and guilt. She stared blankly at him, a thousand words stuck in her throat, but each word turned into a silent sob. Finally, she suddenly hugged his neck and burst into tears.

Thank goodness... thank goodness... all her deep affection had been reciprocated. She knew this man well; with his temperament, he would never stoop to lying or feigning affection. If he hadn't truly fallen for her, he would never have said those things. Moreover, she was certain of this from the way he looked at her.

The women of the Yan ethnic group can finally find true love of their own.

*** ***

The lake water is exceptionally green in spring. A gentle breeze ripples across the surface, and then everything returns to calm.

A slender woman in flowing yellow robes stood on the lake, carefully examining the jade flute in her hand. She tried to play a few notes, but none of them seemed quite accurate. She frowned slightly, wondering what she was doing wrong.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from behind.

"Come on, Qiao'er, put your shoes on." The man's tone was full of doting, a hint of helplessness, and a touch of heartache.

"No, no, stop bothering me." The woman's voice revealed her annoyance, venting her frustration at his inaccurate pitch on him.

"Be good, after you give birth, I won't force you anymore." He could only put down the embroidered shoes in his hands, and hold her horizontally in his arms, afraid that she would catch a cold. This woman just doesn't know how to cherish herself. She's about to become a mother, and she's still so willful and capricious, forcing him to put everything down and stay by her side at all times, taking care of her and protecting her, which he does willingly.

"Don't worry about me, go play chess with your older brother. My Si Qiao's child isn't that spoiled." She kicked her legs stubbornly, trying to break free and get down.

It wasn't until their official wedding day, when the man came to attend the ceremony, that Qi realized that the man his wife had left with that day was actually her elder brother. This caused such a huge misunderstanding, and for the first time, he blushed deeply in front of everyone who came to witness the ceremony.

Seeing her wriggling in his arms like an eel, Qi was terrified and quickly used his trump card, "If you behave, I promise that the next child will also take your surname and be registered in your Yan clan, okay?"

When she was newly pregnant, she made a request: one of the children born to a Yan woman must take the clan name and be registered in the clan's register.

Seeing her hesitant manner, he thought it was something serious. It turned out to be such a simple request. He was an orphan, and as long as the child was his, it didn't matter whether it took his surname or not. So he readily agreed. Compared to his beloved wife, what did a surname matter? In fact, he didn't mind that every child in the future would take her surname, as long as she was willing to give birth.

"Really?" Si Qiao asked in surprise, her beautiful little face beaming like a flower.

"Of course it's true," Qi readily agreed, carrying her towards the cabin. "As long as you behave well until the baby is born, you can't wear gauze skirts anymore, you can't go barefoot anymore, and you can't eat too much spicy food. And also..."

"Alright, alright, when did you become so talkative...?"

The figures of the two people embracing gradually faded into the distance, while the boat continued to drift and sway forward.

How wonderful! Si Qiao finally has a home of her own, and Qi is no longer alone. Who says that a Yan clan girl can't find the true love she dreams of? She has found it, hasn't she?
