As she thought about it, her eyes involuntarily began to well up with tears.
She swallowed hard, stared at Ren Jin, and murmured, "I've finally paid off my debts."
The sight of her smiling at him with red eyes made Ren Jin's heart ache and soften.
He stood up, went over and hugged her, saying, "My wife, you've worked so hard."
He suddenly regretted telling her that he minded her debts, regretted not insisting on helping her pay them off, letting her suffer alone for so long, and even regretted that he met her so late.
His words made Gu Yueji burst into tears, which she had been holding back, and she buried her head in his lower abdomen and sobbed.
She could convince herself to let go of the debt and stubbornly say that she had no problem paying it off. But having walked this far with trepidation, only she knew how much pressure she was under. She felt like she was walking on an empty road, battered by wind and rain, with no end in sight, until Ren Jin said he would give her a home.
"I'm sorry, honey," she cried, hugging him.

He could understand the immense pressure and grievances of a young woman in her early twenties, burdened with hundreds of thousands of yuan in debt and all alone. It reminded him of the helplessness and despair he felt when his grandfather fell ill and his grandmother passed away, leaving him to face all the difficulties alone.
Seeing her curled up and crying so weakly, like a child, he pulled her close and gently patted her back tenderly, letting her cry it out.
After she finished venting her emotions and gradually calmed down, he picked up a tissue and gently wiped away her tears. "Don't cry. From now on, your husband will take care of everything for you."
