The smoke of battle gradually dissipated, and the world, after a terrifying storm, finally welcomed the dawn of peace. Jiang Zhi stood on this war-torn land, feeling a mixture of emotions. She gazed into the distance, her thoughts drifting back to the past years she had spent with Shen Qingchen—a time of laughter, tears, sweetness, and even more pain. And now, she knew, everything was about to begin anew.
Elsewhere on the battlefield, Shen Qingchen was equally consumed by complex emotions. His gaze remained fixed on Jiang Zhi, the woman he deeply loved, who had emerged stronger despite all the hardships she had endured. When he learned that Jiang Yao's plot had been completely shattered, a huge weight of relief finally fell from his heart. However, he also knew that there were still many issues between him and Jiang Zhi that needed to be addressed and resolved.
Jiang Zhi slowly turned around and walked towards Shen Qingchen. Her steps were firm yet hesitant, and each step seemed to step on the strings of time, playing out the inner entanglement and expectation. Shen Qingchen saw Jiang Zhi coming, and his heart was excited. He couldn't help but take a few steps forward and greeted her.
The two stopped a few steps away from each other and stared at each other. For a moment, thousands of words came to their minds, but they didn't know where to start. Shen Qingchen was the first to break the silence. His voice was slightly hoarse, but full of affection: "Jiang Zhi, are you...are you okay?" Jiang Zhi nodded slightly and replied softly: "I'm fine."
After a brief silence, Jiang Zhi took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Chen Qingchen, I have something to tell you." Chen Qingchen looked at her, his eyes full of concern and confusion. He whispered, "What is it? Tell me." Jiang Zhi raised her head, looked directly into Chen Qingchen's eyes, and said slowly, "We still have a son."
Upon hearing the news, Shen Qingchen was stunned. His eyes widened, his face filled with shock and disbelief, as if he couldn't believe his ears. "You...what did you say? A son?" His voice trembled slightly, and an indescribable joy and guilt welled up in his heart. He was happy that he and Jiang Zhi actually had a child, the fruit of their love; he felt guilty that he hadn't been by Jiang Zhi's side during her most difficult time, and had even hurt her.
Jiang Zhi looked at Shen Qingchen's reaction, and her heart ached. She knew that this news was too sudden for him, but she also believed that he would love this child as much as she did. "Yes, we have a son. He and his sister were born when I was hiding from the pursuit alone." Jiang Zhi's voice was calm, but her eyes revealed a hint of maternal tenderness and strength.
Shen Qingchen walked forward slowly, his steps staggering a little, as if he was overwhelmed by this huge surprise. He came to Jiang Zhi and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her, but afraid of being rejected. Jiang Zhi looked at his hand, hesitated slightly, and finally did not dodge. Shen Qingchen gently held Jiang Zhi's hand, his hand trembling slightly, tears flashing in his eyes: "Jiang Zhi, I... I really don't know what to say. I'm sorry for leaving you when you needed me the most."
Jiang Zhi shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes: "Let the past be the past. We have all experienced too much pain. Now, I just hope that we can take good care of the children and give them a complete home." Shen Qingchen held Jiang Zhi's hand tightly and nodded vigorously: "Okay, let's do it together. I will spend my whole life to make up for what I owe to you and the children."
Just then, the sound of children's laughter filled the air. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen turned to see their younger sister, holding her brother's hand, happily running toward them. Her face was filled with an innocent smile, like a little angel; her brother, on the other hand, had a calm expression, his eyes revealing intelligence and understanding.
Shen Qingchen looked at the two children, his heart filled with emotion and warmth. He let go of Jiang Zhi's hand, walked over quickly, squatted down, and hugged the two children tightly in his arms. "My dears, Daddy is back." Shen Qingchen's voice was a little choked, and he kissed the children on the face again and again.
The younger sister looked at Shen Qingchen curiously and asked in a baby voice, "Are you really our father?" Shen Qingchen smiled and nodded, "Yes, baby. Daddy will always be with you and will never leave again." Although the brother did not speak, his eyes revealed a hint of joy and peace of mind.
Jiang Zhi walked over to them, watching this heartwarming scene with a surge of emotion. She knew that at this moment, their family was finally reunited. Although the road ahead was still full of challenges, as long as they were together, no difficulty could defeat them.
In the days that followed, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen began to devote themselves to family life. They worked together to choose beautiful clothes and interesting toys for the children and decorated their rooms with warmth. Shen Qingchen would personally cook delicious meals for Jiang Zhi and the children. Although his cooking skills were not superb, every dish was filled with his love for his family.
Jiang Zhi would tell stories to the children at night to lull them to sleep. She would recount interesting stories from her childhood, as well as stories about courage, justice, and love, hoping that the children would draw strength from these stories and grow up to be responsible and loving people. Shen Qingchen would listen quietly, watching Jiang Zhi and the children, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
In addition to their family life, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen also began to handle family affairs. They knew that the family's revival was crucial to their children's future. Shen Qingchen, drawing on his keen insight and extensive experience in the business world, re-examined the family business's development strategy. He thoroughly studied market trends, analyzed competitors, and sought new business opportunities.
