"But you said you wouldn't take care of my three meals a day from now on."

Yunhe responded to him with a smile.

She said that, but she couldn't expect Ye Chen to do everything for her.

For a relationship to last, both people need to give to and support each other.

The lunch was quite lively.

The laughter and cheerful conversation at the dinner table, and the smiles on everyone's faces, were enough to show that it was a good day.

After the meal, Duanmu Jun distributed the gifts to everyone.

Gifts from elders, in-laws, and younger generations were all well-received.

Therefore, Yunmu felt even more certain that Yunhe would live a very happy life after marrying into the family.

During afternoon tea, everyone sat together in the living room to discuss matters related to the engagement.

"Father-in-law, we've had someone choose an auspicious date, the 18th of next month. What do you think of holding the engagement banquet on that day?"

Yunmu sat down next to Duanmu Jun, held her hand, and smiled.

"Okay, since the 18th of next month is an auspicious day, let's choose that day. The wedding for the two children is finally settled."

A conversation that is open to discussion and compromise is very comforting.

Subsequently, they decided to hold the engagement banquet in Chengdu, and then the wedding would be held in Beicheng.

Considering that the wedding banquet would be a grand affair with many relatives and friends invited, they decided to hold the wedding banquet in Beicheng.

Duanmu Jun's family home was in the neighboring border town, which was also closer to the north town. Moreover, Yunhe's family had many relatives, so to avoid too many relatives having to travel back and forth for too long, the final wedding banquet was held in the north town.

Yunmu admired Duanmu Yun's understanding and thoughtfulness; Duanmu Yun had thought of many details that Yunmu Yun had overlooked.

Knowing that Yunhe has such a considerate and excellent husband, and such a devoted mother-in-law, the Yun family is now truly at ease.

Finally, everything was settled in one afternoon, and all that was left was to wait for the auspicious day to arrive.

Fortunately, the old house was big enough, and Yunmu cleaned up two guest rooms for Duanmu Jun and Ye Chen to stay in.

The Yun family warmly invited them to stay for a few days, wanting to treat them well.

Duanmu Jun liked the scenery here very much, so she readily agreed.

Chengdu.

Smile Cake & Coffee

Today is Xu Zhaodi's last day working part-time at the dessert shop.

She will be leaving the country in a week.

Su Yinwan, Sister Yun, Sister Li, and Li Feng all came to the store.

Everyone also prepared a gift for Xu Zhaodi.

Sister Yun took out a beige cashmere scarf and a pair of gloves of the same color from the brown paper bag.

"Zhaodi, take good care of yourself while you're abroad. We're not by your side, so eat well and don't be too frugal. Eat more, you've gotten so thin."

"Also, this is a scarf and gloves that I knitted for you a while ago. It's so cold abroad, so don't catch a cold. Wear more clothes."

After saying that, Sister Yun handed the beige scarf and gloves to Xu Zhaodi.

Xu Zhaodi was deeply moved as she looked at the love that Sister Yun had woven stitch by stitch.

She recalled how, when she was little, she begged her mother to knit her a hat, but her wish was never granted.

My mother would only say that she wouldn't care and would only make her work hard.

But in the blink of an eye, she saw that she had knitted clothes, a scarf, a hat and gloves for her younger brother.

Since then, Xu Zhaodi has never mentioned it to her mother again.

She knew that her mother wasn't unwilling to knit because she was afraid of getting tired, but because she was a girl and an unloved child.

"Thank you, Sister Yun. I really like it. I will take good care of it." Xu Zhaodi choked up, trying hard not to let her tears fall.

Immediately afterwards, Sister Li also took out the gift she had prepared.

It's a small pink speaker that can also play records.

"Zhaodi, I don't have much to give as a gift. My rascal said that a speaker would be nice. He can listen to music when he's bored, and he can liven things up when he's happy. It's not expensive. This is just a token of Sister Li's goodwill. Please accept it."

Xu Zhaodi accepted the pink speaker with both hands.

She's very cute and has a girlish heart; she likes it a lot.

This was the first sound system she had ever used.

The younger brother tricked his mother into giving him money to buy him countless games, all for the purpose of playing video games.

Having come to terms with the serious favoritism, Xu Zhaodi has gradually come to terms with it.

As long as she can leave that exploitative family, her future will definitely be brighter.

"Thank you, Sister Li. I like it very much and I will take good care of it."

Li Feng gave Xu Zhaodi a peace charm.

This is something she obtained from a very famous temple in the neighboring city.

"Zhaodi, you need to be careful while you're out alone. Don't go out alone at night, and avoid narrow and secluded roads. We're not by your side, so if anything happens, we can't get there as quickly as we could in Rongcheng."

"This is a good luck charm I got for you from the temple. You should carry it with you every day."

"Thank you, Sister Feng."

Then, Xu Zhaodi accepted the amulet that Li Feng had asked for with both hands and carefully put it into her pocket.

It turns out that even though her family didn't love her, there were still people in this world who loved her.

How fortunate she is to have met such a group of people who truly treat her well in this lifetime.

Xu Zhaodi secretly decided that she would repay them properly when she returned after completing her studies.

The last person to give a gift was Su Yinwan.

She chose an exquisite watch.

Xu Zhaodi had seen it in an advertisement; it was a very famous and expensive brand.

The exquisite and rounded case design incorporates two vibrant colors, cherry blossom pink and ice blue, adding a touch of individuality to the minimalist style.

"Zhao Di, believe in yourself. The road ahead may be difficult, but as long as you persevere, you will eventually see the light of hope. We are here looking forward to your return after you have completed your studies. We hope to see you transformed then. Keep going!"

"I'm giving you this watch so that it can accompany you through thick and thin, and ultimately rise from the ashes."

"Thank you, Sister Wan."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yinwan helped Xu Zhaodi put on her watch.

If Xu Zhaodi's luckiest moment in life was meeting Su Yinwan, her benefactor, during her most difficult time, was the day she faced her greatest challenge.

It was Su Yinwan who gave Xu Zhaodi new hope;

She helped her get away from that burdensome family;

She helped her choose a school abroad, allowing her to study abroad with peace of mind;

She sponsored her with a sum of money, so that she could go abroad without any worries.

Su Yinwan was Xu Zhaodi's benefactor and savior.

Xu Zhaodi had already decided to repay Su Yinwan properly in the future and to continue Su Yinwan's act of helping others, helping others in need to the best of her ability.

She will study hard and pursue further education, so as not to let down anyone, and also not to let herself down.

For myself, I want to become a better version of myself;

To be a more useful person to others;

For society, one should strive to be a contributor.

Since there is a path to take, then walk it bravely, no matter what lies ahead, whether it is thorns or waves; just keep moving forward.
