After the wedding, night quietly fell. The courtyard, which had been bustling all day, gradually quieted down as guests departed, leaving only a lingering festive atmosphere.

Gong Moze led Li Jin by the hand into the meticulously decorated modern-style wedding room. Upon entering, a warm and romantic atmosphere enveloped them. On the pristine white walls hung sweet photos of the couple, their smiles radiant with happiness. A large heart, carefully arranged from rose petals, graced the soft carpet, exuding a delicate fragrance. In the center of the room stood a large, plush wedding bed, covered with brand-new red silk sheets, also scattered with vibrant flower petals.

Looking at all this, Li Jin's eyes were filled with surprise and emotion. "Mo Ze, I didn't know you actually spent half a year decorating all this. You put so much thought into it." Gong Mo Ze gently embraced her and said affectionately, "As long as you like it, it's all worth it. From today onwards, this is our home, and I want you to live in happiness every day."

The two sat embraced on the edge of the bed, the flickering candlelight illuminating their happy faces. Gong Moze gazed tenderly at Li Jin, gently removing the hairpin from her hair, her long, flowing hair cascading down. His eyes were filled with love as he slowly leaned closer and placed a soft kiss on Li Jin's forehead. "Ah Jin, I love you, forever and ever." Li Jin tilted her head back slightly, tears glistening in her eyes. "I love you too, Moze."

In this warm and romantic atmosphere, they embraced tightly, as if the whole world consisted only of their heartbeats, immersed in this blissful moment that belonged only to them.

Meanwhile, Chief Fu remained in Beijing for the time being. During this period, he became close friends with Grandpa Yu and Grandma Gong, sharing similar interests. The three often gathered together, either playing chess or chatting about everything under the sun, reminiscing about the past and lamenting the changes of the times, getting along very well.

Before heading to Guangzhou, Li Jin specifically sought out Xiao Pingping and carefully instructed her, "Pingping, while I'm away from Beijing, could you keep an eye out for suitable store locations? Our clothing store is doing well, and I plan to open a few more to expand. Please keep an eye out for suitable locations; after all, you're now a shareholder in the store, so call me if you encounter any difficulties or troubles." Xiao Pingping confidently replied, "Sister Jin, don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll definitely find you some prime locations." Li Jin smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Pingping. Once the new stores open, our income will double!"

On the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, sunlight streamed gently through the window into the bridal chamber. Gong Moze held Li Jin tightly, his eyes filled with reluctance. "Jin, I really don't know what to do now that you're going to Guangzhou. I'll miss you terribly." Li Jin gently stroked Gong Moze's face, comforting him, "Moze, there are many things waiting for me to handle in Guangzhou, but I'll try my best to squeeze out as much time as possible to come back and be with you."

Gong Moze nodded slightly, then said, "Then you must be careful over there. If you encounter any trouble, contact me immediately, no matter what, and I'll come right away." Li Jin smiled and replied, "I know, don't worry about me so much. I'm not a child anymore. You also need to be careful in the army."

The two snuggled together and whispered sweet nothings for a while before finally getting up to pack their luggage. Gong Moze insisted on personally taking Li Jin to the station, holding her hand tightly the whole way, as if she would disappear if he let go.

Upon arriving at the station, amidst the bustling crowds and noise, the two only had eyes for each other. Gong Moze helped Li Jin put away her luggage and repeatedly reminded her to be careful on the road and not to talk to strangers. Looking at Gong Moze's anxious expression, Li Jin couldn't help but laugh, "Moze, stop nagging, I've remembered everything."

As the train whistle sounded, Li Jin had no choice but to board. She sat down by the window, facing Gong Moze through the glass. Gong Moze waved and shouted, "Jin, remember to write to me!" Li Jin's eyes reddened slightly, and she nodded vigorously, replying just as loudly, "You too, miss me!"

The train slowly started moving, and Li Jin's gaze remained fixed on Gong Moze until his figure gradually became smaller.

Gong Moze watched the departing train, remaining there for a long time. Back in the courtyard house, looking at everything in the bridal chamber, it felt as if Li Jin was still beside him. Although reluctant to part, he understood that Li Jin had her own dreams and pursuits, and all he could do was fully support her.

Meanwhile, Chief Fu, Grandpa Yu, and Grandma Gong still frequently gathered together. That day, the three were playing chess in the Gong family courtyard. Chief Fu, while placing a piece, laughed and said, "When we old folks get together, it's even more lively than when young people are together." Grandpa Yu chuckled, "Yes, it's rare to find such compatible people; every day is interesting." Grandma Gong nodded in agreement, "I hope we can continue like this, watching the children get better and better."

At this moment, Xiao Pingping was busy searching for a suitable store location for Li Jin's clothing store, traversing the streets and alleys of Beijing. She visited each store one by one, meticulously recording information such as location, size, and rent, determined to find the most suitable store for Li Jin and live up to her trust.
