The family sat on a bench on the terrace and began to talk about their future life. The daughter blinked her eyes and asked, "Mom and Dad, after we take over the family, can you go traveling?" Jiang Zhi smiled and nodded, "Yes, but we will come back to see you often. If you encounter problems that you can't solve, be sure to tell us." The son said reluctantly, "I will miss you, Mom and Dad." Shen Qingchen hugged his son on his lap and comforted him, "Silly child, we are only away for a short time, and now communications are so developed, we can contact you at any time. When you are on vacation, you can come and play with us."
After chatting for a while, the sky gradually darkened, and the lights in the manor lit up one by one, like a starry sky. Jiang Zhi stood up and stretched. "Come on, kids, let's go have dinner. Today is a day worth celebrating, and the chef has prepared your favorite dishes." The family walked towards the dining room, chatting and laughing.
The restaurant was filled with sumptuous dishes, the aroma filling the air. The family gathered around the table, laughter and chatter flowing. Jiang Zhi occasionally served food to the children, urging them to eat more, while Shen Qingchen shared some interesting business stories with the children, which amazed them. After dinner, the children volunteered to help clear the table. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen watched them busy at work with satisfaction, their hearts filled with emotion.
After the children went back to their rooms to rest, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen went for a walk in the garden. Moonlight shone among the flowers, which swayed gently in the breeze, emitting bursts of fragrance. Jiang Zhi took a deep breath and sighed, "Such a peaceful and beautiful night is what I have always dreamed of. Now that it has really come true, it feels like a dream." Shen Qingchen held her hand, interlocking their fingers, "This is not a dream, it is earned through our hard work and sweat. There will be many more nights like this in the future, and we will enjoy them slowly."
They walked slowly along the gravel road, recalling every little detail of the past. From Jiang Zhi's ignorance and persistence when he first entered the city, to the excitement and struggle after meeting Shen Qingchen; from encountering Jiang Yao's difficulties, to the thrilling fight against the mysterious organization together; every memory was like a bright star, embedded in the long river of their lives. Jiang Zhi said softly: "Those painful memories, now it seems, have become the nutrients for our growth. Without them, we might not have the happiness we have today." Shen Qingchen nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it was those hardships that made us cherish each other and our current life even more."
As they walked, they came to a small pavilion in the garden. The pavilion was surrounded by colorful lights, which sparkled in the night. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion. Shen Qingchen took out an exquisite little box from his arms and opened it. Inside was a pair of diamond earrings that sparkled with bright light. He said to Jiang Zhi gently, "Today is a special day. This is my gift to you. Over the years, you have given so much to our family and clan. I hope this small gift will make you happy."
Jiang Zhi's eyes were full of surprise. She took the earrings and looked at them carefully: "So beautiful, Qingchen, thank you." Shen Qingchen stood up, helped her put on the earrings, and kissed her forehead gently: "You look more beautiful in them. In the future, I will give you more surprises and make you happy every day." Jiang Zhi was so moved that her eyes were wet. She hugged Shen Qingchen tightly: "With you here, I am happy every day."
The two embraced each other in the pavilion for a long time, then walked out of the pavilion hand in hand and continued to stroll in the garden. They talked about the family's future education plan, hoping to cultivate more outstanding talents for the family; they also talked about incorporating more social responsibilities into the family business and making greater contributions to society. Jiang Zhi said: "We can't just pursue commercial interests, we must also pay attention to many areas such as the environment, education, and medical care, so that the family can become a force for social progress." Shen Qingchen agreed deeply: "Yes, this is also a way for us to pass on the family spirit. Children grow up under such a concept, and their future pattern will be broader."
Before they knew it, it was already late at night, and the sky was filled with stars. Jiang Zhi looked up at the starry sky, her heart full of hope: "Qingchen, look at those stars, each one is like our hope for the future. I believe that the future of our family will be as bright as this starry sky." Shen Qingchen hugged her in his arms: "It will definitely be. We have gone through so many storms hand in hand, and the road ahead will only become wider and wider. No matter what we encounter, we will face it together and create a beautiful life that belongs to us together."
Back in the bedroom, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen lay in bed, unable to sleep. They continued their quiet conversation, discussing everything from daily life to their ideals, seemingly endlessly. Outside the window, the night deepened, while inside the house, a warm warmth filled the air. Amidst their beautiful visions of the future, they gradually drifted off to sleep, a faint smile still playing on their lips.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room once again, signaling a new day. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen awoke, their eyes filled with love and determination. They knew the future held hope. Together with their family, they would write a more wonderful chapter, setting sail for happiness.
