In that courtyard, gently caressed by time, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen snuggled in a quaint rocking chair. Warm sunlight filtered through the mottled leaves, casting tiny shadows on their faces, filled with happiness and peace. Children chased and played happily on the grass nearby, their laughter as clear as silver bells, echoing in the air like the most moving music in the world.
Jiang Zhi's eyes always followed the children's lively figures, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, outlining a gentle and doting arc. Shen Qingchen gently held her hand, and the warmth of her palm was like the warm spring sun, dispelling all the haze and pain of the past.
"Honey, look at the children, they are so innocent and happy." Jiang Zhi said softly, her voice full of love and emotion.
Shen Qingchen nodded slightly, her eyes also full of affection: "Yes, they are the fruit of our love and our hope for the future. I hope they can grow up in a loving environment and understand the true meaning and power of love."
A trace of determination flashed in Jiang Zhi's eyes. She turned her head and looked at Shen Qingchen seriously: "I think so too. Our love is hard-won. We have gone through so many storms and hardships. These are the most precious treasures in our lives. We should tell our story to the children and let them know that true love is not a fairy tale of smooth sailing, but a perseverance of mutual support and perseverance in difficult times."
Shen Qingchen gently stroked Jiang Zhi's hair and said with a smile: "You are right. Although our story is full of twists and turns, it is these twists and turns that make our love deeper and more firm. I believe that after listening to our story, the children will definitely gain some insights."
So, on that quiet and beautiful afternoon, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen called the children over. The children sat around them, their eyes full of curiosity and anticipation, their little faces flushed from running and playing, their eyes gleaming with a desire for unknown stories.
Jiang Zhi spoke softly, recounting their first encounter on a bustling city street. Back then, she, obsessed with revenge, moved like a lonely and stubborn thornbird, weaving through the crowds. The tenacity and sadness in her eyes made her stand out from the crowd. And Shen Qingchen, the stern CEO who dominated the business world, was captivated by Jiang Zhi's unique aura the moment they met. As if destined, his gaze was drawn to her.
"Dad was like he was under a spell at that time. He could only see Mom in his eyes." Shen Yixuan blinked his bright eyes and said with a smile.
Shen Qingchen gently pinched her son's nose and recalled with a smile: "Yes, that feeling is wonderful, as if the whole world has suddenly become different. From then on, Dad made up his mind to make Mom the most important person in my life."
Jiang Zhi then recounted the details of their acquaintance, including Shen Qingchen's passionate and persistent pursuit, the carefully planned romantic encounters, and the affectionate love letters and dazzling flowers. The children listened intently, their eyes filled with longing and yearning.
"But mom, why didn't you like dad at the beginning?" Shen Siyao asked doubtfully, looking up at her little face.
Jiang Zhi gently stroked her daughter's hair, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes: "Because Mom had something very important in her heart at that time, which was revenge for someone very important to her. Mom felt that she had no time for love, so she was always indifferent to Dad's pursuit. But Dad never gave up. His persistence and sincerity slowly touched Mom's heart."
Shen Qingchen held Jiang Zhi's hand tightly, giving her strength and support. He continued: "Later, we were together and spent a very happy time. We cooked, watched movies, and took walks together. Every ordinary day became extraordinarily precious because of each other."
However, the story also took a turn. Jiang Zhi recounted the appearance of Jiang Yao and the difficult decision Shen Qingchen made to protect her—filing for a divorce against his will and taking Jiang Yao back, doing something to hurt her. The children's eyes were filled with surprise and confusion, and Shen Siyao even couldn't help shedding tears.
"Dad, why did you do this? How could you hurt Mom?" Shen Siyao asked sobbingly.
Shen Qingchen's eyes were full of guilt and pain. He gently wiped away his daughter's tears and said, "Baby, Dad had no choice at the time. Dad knew that doing this would hurt Mom, but Dad was more afraid that those bad guys would hurt you. Dad just wanted to protect you, even if it made Mom hate me temporarily."
Jiang Zhi also comforted her daughter: "Siyao, Dad had his reasons at the time. Although Mom was very sad at the time, Mom knew that Dad loved us. Later, Dad has been working hard to make up for his mistakes."
As the story progressed, Jiang Zhi recounted how they supported each other and fought together against a mysterious organization's pursuit. In perilous situations, they relied on each other's wisdom and courage to overcome danger time and time again. The children listened with intense excitement, their tiny hands clinging tightly to their parents' clothes, as if they were personally present in those thrilling scenes.
"Mom, were you scared at that time?" Shen Yixuan asked, his little face showing both nervousness and admiration.
Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "Of course I'm scared, but with Dad by my side, I feel courageous and strong. We know that for each other and for you, we can't back down."
Shen Qingchen added: "Moreover, we also know that only by uncovering the conspiracy of the mysterious organization can we protect our families and friends and prevent more people from being harmed. This is our responsibility and our mission."
