The morning light was dim, and the soft light filtered through the gauze curtains, quietly falling into the bedroom of Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen. Jiang Zhi slowly woke up, and Shen Qingchen's arm was still around her waist. The familiar and warm breath made her mouth curl up unconsciously. She gently moved Shen Qingchen's hand away, wanting to get up and prepare breakfast, but she didn't expect that the subtle movement would wake him up again.
"It's so early, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Shen Qingchen was sleepy, his voice was hoarse from just waking up, but full of doting.
Jiang Zhi turned around, smiling: "I'm used to it. I thought of making something delicious for everyone. You should sleep a little longer."
Shen Qingchen refused and stood up: "I'll accompany you." The two walked into the kitchen together, and a warm feeling instantly filled the air. Jiang Zhi skillfully tied an apron and took out the ingredients from the refrigerator, while Shen Qingchen helped wash and chop vegetables. Occasionally, they glanced at each other, their eyes full of love. After a while, the kitchen was filled with fragrance, attracting the children to come in to taste it.
"Wow, Mom, we've got something delicious to eat today!" The daughter came bounding in, diving into Jiang Zhi's arms, her soft little face rubbing against her arm. Her son followed behind, his expression growing calmer, but the anticipation in his eyes was unmistakable: "Dad, Mom, let me help you set the table." The family gathered around the dining table, laughter and chatter flowing. After breakfast, the children each returned to their studies and other chores, while Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen strolled through the garden.
In the garden, a profusion of colorful flowers swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling of the peaceful years. Jiang Zhi leaned over and sniffed a rose, its fragrance rich and fragrant. Shen Qingchen gently hugged her from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder: "Do you remember the difficulties we went through before? Thinking about it now, it seems like a distant dream."
Jiang Zhi nodded slightly, her eyes shimmering with reminiscence. "How could I not remember those days of running around, surrounded by danger? Every time I thought I couldn't make it, but thankfully, we didn't give up." Back then, Jiang Zhi had hidden her identity and entered the city for revenge, her heart filled with hatred and pain. Shen Qingchen's passionate pursuit had once left her bewildered and at a loss, but fate's thread would eventually entwine them. Even after facing Jiang Yao's difficulties, Shen Qingchen's helpless "betrayal," and the numerous crises brought on by the mysterious organization, they had persevered.
"Yes, if it weren't for your persistence back then, if it weren't for our mutual trust, how could we have the happiness we have now." Shen Qingchen sighed. He thought of Jiang Zhi's bravery when facing the mysterious organization's pursuit alone, and the hardships she faced raising the child alone after giving birth, and his heart was filled with love and admiration. Jiang Zhi turned around, looked into Shen Qingchen's eyes, and said seriously: "This journey is also thanks to you. I have seen your protection and your dedication."
Hand in hand, they strolled along the garden path, the sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on them, as if gilding them with a golden glow. As they walked, Jiang Zhi suddenly stopped and looked up at the family mansion not far away. The mansion, bathed in sunlight, appeared solemn and majestic, a symbol of the family's glory and history.
"Now that the family is developing better and better, and the children are growing up day by day, the burden on our shoulders is heavier." Jiang Zhi's tone was solemn. Shen Qingchen held her hand tightly: "Don't worry, I'm here, we're together. Just like before, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we can always find a solution."
As they were talking, their daughter's laughter came from not far away. She ran towards them happily with a painting in her hand: "Mom and Dad, look at my painting!" Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen squatted down and took the painting. The painting showed a family of four, holding hands and standing in the garden, with a beautiful mansion behind them and a big sun in the sky, shining brightly. Jiang Zhi's eyes were slightly moist, and he hugged his daughter in his arms: "Baby, the painting is great. This is our happiest look."
Shen Qingchen stroked her daughter's hair gently, her eyes full of love: "Our little princess will definitely be a great painter in the future." The daughter smiled even sweeter when she heard it. The son also came over at this time. After seeing the painting, he nodded slightly: "Sister, your painting is indeed very good, very imaginative." Although he was still young, he already had some of his brother's calmness.
"Brother, look at the flowers over there, they are so beautiful, let's go play over there." The daughter took her brother's hand and ran towards the flowers. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen stood up and looked at the children's backs with smiles on their faces.
"The children have really grown up and become more sensible." Jiang Zhi said with relief. Shen Qingchen nodded in agreement: "Yes, my son is smart and will surely shine in the family business in the future; my daughter is kind and lovely, and her innocence is our greatest comfort. Looking at them, I feel that all the hard work is worth it."
In the afternoon, the sun grew hotter. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen sat under the parasol in the courtyard, sipping tea and enjoying the rare tranquility. Jiang Zhi picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea spread on her tongue, but her thoughts drifted away.
"Qingchen, sometimes I think, if those deceased relatives could see what we are like now, how wonderful it would be. Tang Junxi, your father, if they were still here, they could share this happiness with us." A trace of loneliness flashed in Jiang Zhi's eyes. Shen Qingchen gently held her hand and comforted her: "I believe that they must be very pleased to see us in heaven. Everything we have now is also the best consolation for them."
Jiang Zhi nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and suppressed the sadness in his heart: "You are right, we must carry on with their expectations, live well, pass on the family legacy well, and let the children have a better future."
At this time, the housekeeper came hurriedly and said respectfully: "Sir, Madam, the family business has several important documents that need your review and signature." Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen looked at each other, stood up, straightened their clothes, and walked towards the study.
