Song Yu's biological parents actually knew about Mr. and Mrs. Song a long time ago, and they knew that although they were workaholics, they were still kind and gentle at heart.

They knew that if they let Song Yu, the so-called "abandoned baby," they would definitely adopt him. From the very beginning, their family had been carefully planning their actions.

Many of the things Song Yu did later were designed to sow discord between Song Yao and Mr. Song. The kidnapping was also part of their plan.

At first, they considered killing Song Yao outright, but then they thought that if Song Yao died, they would definitely investigate at all costs, so they gave up on that idea.

How could an eight-year-old child like Song Yao possibly run away so easily? They did it on purpose, deliberately letting Song Yao go home because they knew Song Yao's personality and that he wouldn't tell anyone, so they had no scruples.

As for the kidnapping of Song Yu, they already have a scapegoat who has been arrested.

…

Later, Song Yu went to eat a free meal with his biological parents.

Song Yao also learned about the misunderstanding, but the things he missed in the past could never be made up for in his lifetime.

Song Yao didn't hate them at first, and after resolving his inner conflict, he no longer disliked them. However, his past personality traits could never be changed. He gradually learned to call them "Mom" and "Dad" and slowly realized how good Mr. and Mrs. Song were to him.

Mr. and Mrs. Song did not initially attempt to get Song Yao to forgive them, because, in any case, their child's life was a failure on their part as parents.

They seem unable to make up for what's lost because Song Yao lacks nothing now. The only thing they can do is treat their daughter-in-law well so that Wan Ge's feelings for Song Yao don't fade due to family conflicts.

However, many times they felt they were overthinking things, because Wan Ge didn't seem like the type to divorce Song Yao.

Wan Ge also wanted to say, how could Song Yao possibly divorce her? Even if she were willing, Song Yao would absolutely not be.

…

Song Yao knew that Wan Ge's ideal life was not one of great wealth and status, so they both gave up their jobs when they were middle-aged.

At first, Wan Ge didn't know what the other person was going to do until he took her to a small seaside town and said he had a surprise for her.

Wan Ge only then realized that Song Yao wanted to live a secluded, idyllic life.

The town has a slow pace of life, but it's peaceful and comfortable, and the medical facilities are quite good. That's why Song Yao chose to live here.

The couple was very low-key, and their neighbors probably never imagined how successful they had been.

Wan Ge and Song Yao sat on the shore with a bucket and fishing gear. The sea breeze caressed them, and passing neighbors greeted them warmly.

The neighbors were thinking to themselves, "These two were so good-looking when they first came here a few years ago, and they're still just as good-looking now. Do they never get old?"

But considering their leisurely lifestyles, perhaps they really won't grow old.

Although they didn't know what the other's family background was like, they knew that they came from a big city and must be well-off, since neither of them worked.

Of course, what's most enviable about them isn't their comfortable life, but their relationship. Society has never seen them argue, and when they're together, they seem to have nothing but each other in their eyes.

① Rather than saying I want to become better, it's more accurate to say that I want to become better because of you.

②All the resentment in my heart finally disappeared because of you.

③The life you want is the life I've always dreamed of.
