Looking at Ah Yu's sincere and determined expression, her parents felt a surge of complex emotions. After a moment of silence, her father said, "Son, we don't necessarily want to stop you, but we're afraid you'll suffer in the future. Once you get involved in matters of the heart, if something goes wrong, you'll be the one who gets hurt."

Ah Yu quickly said, "Dad, I know you mean well, but Zhong Hua and I are prepared to face difficulties. We will support each other and work together to make life better. We also believe that time will prove everything and those misunderstandings will be cleared up sooner or later."

Looking at Ah Yu, her mother's eyes were full of heartache. She sighed softly and said, "Oh, you're such a stubborn child. Since you insist on this, we can only try to accept it slowly. But you have to promise us that if you ever encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can't just tough it out on your own."

Upon hearing this, Ah Yu was overjoyed. He excitedly hugged his parents and said, "Mom and Dad, thank you. Don't worry, I will be fine."

Meanwhile, Zhong Hua was also trying to communicate with her family. She wrote a long letter to her parents, detailing her feelings for A Yu, her plans for the future, and her courage in the face of difficulties, and placed it on their bedside table.

After reading the letter, Zhonghua's parents were deeply moved by her sincerity. They called Zhonghua to their side, and her mother took her hand and said, "Huahua, we have read your letter and know that you are serious. We don't want to keep stopping you, but we are worried that you will not have a good life in the future."

With tears streaming down her face, Zhong Hua said, "Mom and Dad, I know your good intentions. I will really be happy. Ah Yu is so good to me. We will work together to make our life better. Please believe me."

Zhong Hua's father looked at his daughter's determined expression and nodded, saying, "Alright, since you're so insistent, we won't say anything more. We just hope you can be happy in the future. If you suffer any injustice, don't forget that you have family."

Zhong Hua burst into laughter through her tears, hugged her parents tightly, and finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart.

When Ah Yu and Zhong Hua told Su Yao the good news about communicating with their families, Su Yao was genuinely happy for them. She smiled and said, "That's great! I knew you two could do it. Now you can be happy together. You must stay together and be good to each other from now on!"

Chapter 5: Facing New Challenges Together

With the understanding and support of their families, Ah Yu and Zhong Hua's relationship deepened. They walked hand in hand down the street, their faces beaming with happiness, as if all the gloom from before had completely vanished.

However, life is always full of new challenges. Ah Yu received an important project at work, a project that was extremely difficult and had a very tight deadline, requiring him to devote a lot of energy and time. He worked overtime until very late every day, sometimes even sleeping at the company, and the time he spent with Zhong Hua became less and less.

Although Zhong Hua understood Ah Yu's work situation, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. When she was home alone, looking at the cold and quiet house, she felt empty inside. Sometimes she would worry about Ah Yu's health, afraid that he was working too hard, but she didn't want to add pressure to him, so she could only silently keep her worries to herself.

Zhong Hua herself also encountered a bottleneck in her artistic creation. She tried many new ideas and techniques, but the works she painted could never achieve the effect she wanted. She became more and more anxious and her mood became somewhat depressed.

Ah Yu noticed Zhong Hua's unusual behavior. On a rare day off, he canceled all his work and accompanied Zhong Hua to a lakeside in the suburbs, a place with beautiful scenery and a peaceful atmosphere.

"Hua, I know I've neglected you lately, and I feel really guilty. I've been so busy with work, but don't worry, I'll try my best to make time for you in the future. Have you been having any creative troubles lately? You can tell me about it, and we can think of a solution together," Ah Yu said to Zhong Hua with concern.

Looking into Ah Yu's tired yet loving eyes, Zhong Hua felt a surge of emotion and shared her creative struggles with her.

After listening, Ah Yu thought about it seriously for a while and said, "Hua, I think sometimes when you encounter a creative bottleneck, it may be because you are too limited by your existing ideas. You can go out and travel, see different scenery, and feel the little beauties in life. Maybe you can find new inspiration."

Zhong Hua listened to Ah Yu's words and thought they made a lot of sense. She nodded and said, "Yes, you're right. I've been getting too caught up in things lately. I'll try your method."

From then on, whenever Ah Yu had free time, she would accompany Zhong Hua on field trips. Zhong Hua also constantly sought inspiration in her life, and gradually, her creations made new breakthroughs, producing several works that she was very satisfied with.

With Zhong Hua's encouragement and support, Ah Yu overcame one difficulty after another at work, and the project was eventually completed successfully. He also received recognition from the company, and his career reached a new level.

Chapter Six: Another Test from the Outside World

Just as Ah Yu and Zhong Hua's lives and careers were gradually getting back on track, another storm struck from the outside world.

This time, someone maliciously exposed some of their so-called "dirt" online. Although it was all fabricated and false information, it was widely forwarded by some netizens who were unaware of the truth. In an instant, public opinion pressure once again came down on them.

When Ah Yu and Zhong Hua saw those malicious comments, they were so angry that they trembled. They never expected that after finally calming down the previous rumors, such a situation would arise again.
