At the wedding, Shen Fu did not invite too many people.
He was only a friend of Ning Wan.
Ning Yanshu's kindergarten classmates, as well as the neighbor and grandmother who had helped them before.
However, to express his gratitude for Shi Huiwen's help, Shen Fu specially invited her.
And a prime photography location was arranged.
There were no wedding pranks or excessive sentimentality; the wedding proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner.
Unexpectedly, things went wrong when it came time for the bride to throw her bouquet.
Sun Wen and Jiang Zhiruo are both married and have children.
The only unmarried people present who were suitable to catch the bouquet were Song Mengwan, Zhao Jiajia, and Yi Yue.
Unfortunately, the three of them kept putting each other off, and none of them were willing to step into the "grave" of marriage.
As a result, during the scuffle, the bouquet accidentally fell into Ning Yanshu's arms.
Ning Yanshu held the bouquet in her hand, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Immediately afterwards, he rushed onto the stage and knelt down on one knee before Ning Wan: "Mom, I love you!"
Ning Wan smiled and replied, "Baby, Mommy loves you too."
...
"From then on, Xiaomei and Xiaoshuai lived happily ever after..."
Chen closed the storybook, patted Ning Yanshu's bottom, and said, "Alright, the story is over. Now you should go back upstairs to sleep."
As Ning Yanshu grew up day by day.
The small apartment on the 7th floor is far from enough for a family to live in.
So Shen Fu and Ning Wan moved to the apartment on the 6th floor, while Ning Yanshu and Shen Xu continued to live on the 7th floor.
Ning Yanshu obediently lay back on the bed, turned to her side and asked curiously, "Dad, why do all fairy tales end with 'And they lived happily ever after'?"
"Because this is not the final outcome, but a beautiful expectation."
Shen Fu put the storybook back on the shelf and said, "Life is not all sunshine and rainbows; it is made up of all sorts of different aspects. There is happiness and pain, joy and sorrow."
Ning Yanshu opened his eyes wide, full of curiosity, and asked, "What should I do if I encounter painful or sad things?"
Shen Fu thought about it carefully for a while, and then answered with eight words: "Believe in yourself, and believe in her too."
"Love is the most powerful weapon that can conquer all."
Ning Yanshu suddenly realized...
...
Time seemed to be accelerated, and Ning Yanshu grew taller and taller.
Her round cheeks gradually became more defined, and her strong features subtly revealed a hint of melancholy.
By the time they entered junior high school, Ning Yanshu had grown much taller than Ning Wan.
Although he has grown taller, he is still very lively and unconventional.
Occasionally, they can be mischievous or naughty.
The most serious incident occurred when Ning Yanshu broke her arm while going down the stairs.
It terrified the whole family.
Because of this, Shen Xu was so angry that he didn't speak to him for a whole week.
Ning Wan and Shen Fu's relationship remained strong, and the two were even more inseparable after their marriage.
Ning Yanshu often joked that her father was her mother's shadow.
He followed his mother wherever she went.
But Shen Fu was not ashamed; on the contrary, he was proud.
The two wedding dresses designed by Ning You for Ning Wan were stunning as Shi Huiwen's first news report and photos from the event were released.
Later, with Song Mengwan's recommendation, she gained extremely high popularity.
It quickly became a favorite among many wealthy wives and celebrities.
Lu Anning gradually blossomed into a graceful young woman.
Lu Chen was often very worried about this.
They were afraid that one day some ignorant young punk would appear and kidnap their precious child.
After graduating from university, Zhao Jiajia went directly to work in Song Mengwan's team.
Zhao Shuigen also gradually rose from the lowest level of the construction site to the position of manager.
Shen Yurong met the girl he liked.
Wang Zihao became a national-level athlete.
Tang Tang became an excellent teacher, and at the age of 26, she married Long Aotian, who had been pursuing her for nearly 20 years.
Everything was so beautiful and blissful.
Ning Wan finally believed what 057 had said before leaving.
It turns out she really did break free from the so-called power of supporting roles.
She is finally free...
...
Time flies, and Shen Fu and Ning Wan have gradually entered old age.
For decades, they have supported each other through thick and thin, never quarreled, and never even raised their voices at each other.
But soon, the two will still face the most terrifying problem.
That is death...
...
Ning Wan has always faced death with equanimity.
She's been lucky enough to live so many lifetimes; she's already made enough.
But to her surprise, the first person to leave between the two was Shen Fu.
At that time, Shen Fu had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for almost 8 years.
At first, he just seemed to have a bad memory.
I'm often forgetful and can't find important things.
But when Shen Fu couldn't call out Ning Wan's name one day, he cried and begged Ning Wan to take him to the hospital for a checkup.
On the day of his diagnosis, Shen Fu secretly tattooed Ning Wan's name on his arm behind her back.
He dared not forget Ning Wan, and was even more afraid that one day he would forget Ning Wan.
But how can a person withstand the horror of disease?
Later on, Shen Fu could hardly recognize anyone around him.
His personality also became irritable and unstable.
He always appeared unfamiliar and resistant to Ning Wan, who took such good care of him.
They might even throw all the food she painstakingly cooked onto the ground.
Ning Yanshu couldn't stand it anymore and scolded, "Dad, what are you doing! That's soup that Mom simmered for three hours."
He remained silent.
He childishly pulled the blanket over his head and lay motionless on the bed.
Ning Wan stopped Ning Yanshu from lifting the blanket and gently shook her head at him.
Ning Wan, now 58, is no longer as beautiful as she once was.
Her once jet-black hair gradually turned white.
But the only thing that remains unchanged is Ning Wan's gentle yet firm nature.
Alzheimer's disease is a terrible disease.
It not only causes great pain and harm to the patients themselves, but also torments their families.
After persisting for several years, Ning Yanshu could no longer see any hope of recovery.
But Ning Wan didn't seem to care about that.
Taking care of Shen Fu is like dealing with a willful and naughty child; you always need to be patient and meticulous.
"Your dad is sick, why are you getting angry with him?" Ning Wan cleaned up the mess on the floor, then asked, "Have you visited your aunt and uncle since you came back?"
"……Um."
Due to work, Ning Yanshu began to travel frequently to various countries.
Seeing the obvious weariness in Ning Wan's eyes, he hesitated and said, "Mom, how about... we send Dad to a nursing home..."
Ning Wan turned around, looked at the bulge in the blanket, and said absentmindedly, "If your dad wakes up and finds out, he'll be sad..."
