As Lin Qingtong spoke, her eyes reddened, and a tear rolled down her cheek.
She cried not because she loved Jiang Hao so much, but because she was mourning the marriage she had foolishly given so much to.
She thought that by keeping everything a secret by herself, she could secure a happy and fulfilling marriage.
At the same time, she doesn't ask for much happiness or sweetness, she only asks to live out the rest of her life peacefully.
In the past, she thought she was an exception and wouldn't be like her mother.
But in the end, it seems that all of them end up the same way.
Shen Tinghe gently took Lin Qingtong's hand, knowing her pain and sadness, and comforted her with gentle words.
"It's okay, I'm here for you."
Qi Huimin chimed in sarcastically, "Jiang Hao, what makes you think you are? Someone special? Someone amazing? But in reality, you're just a guy who can't even have children."
"If I hadn't been after your family's money, why would I have compromised in the first place?"
"There's something else I need to tell you. We actually knew a long time ago that you couldn't have children, but we just didn't tell you. How does it feel to be kept in the dark by everyone?"
Jiang Hao completely believed Lin Qingtong's words, and his face turned ashen.
Because he didn't want to believe it, and it was impossible.
Reality was cruelly laid out before him. He staggered forward a few steps, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight backward.
It turns out that the one who can't have children is myself.
He actually let Lin Qingtong down like this.
Only then did he realize what he had missed.
It was all too late.
Lin Qingtong has found someone who cherishes and loves her, while she herself has been ruined and can never go back to the past.
Jiang Hao was filled with regret at this moment, but it was too late for him to regret it; everything had already been settled.
The ambulance took Jiang Hao away. Later, it was said that he was so emotionally agitated that he went insane and was sent to a mental hospital.
As for Qi Huimin, she and Cao Kui traveled the world seeking treatment for their child.
Lin Qingtong stood alone on the roof of Wutong Manor, looking at the scenery in the distance.
Everything seemed to have ended just like that, and she began to feel lost, unsure of what to do next.
The wind blew through her long hair, and she was lost in thought, wondering if she should tell Shen Tinghe about her next plan.
Just then, Shen Tinghe appeared, holding a bouquet of roses, and slowly approached.
Dressed in white, he resembled a prince on a white horse arriving gracefully, and presented the flowers to Lin Qingtong.
Lin Qingtong hesitated to take it, only staring at Shen Tinghe.
"I have something to tell you."
Shen Tinghe smiled and answered.
"I also have something to tell you."
Lin Qingtong was taken aback for a moment, then the two of them said in unison, "Then you go first."
The two exchanged a glance, and as the wind blew through Lin Qingtong's long hair, she couldn't help but murmur softly.
"Shen Tinghe".
Shen Tinghe answered, looking at her earnestly and sincerely, "What's wrong?"
Lin Qingtong's lips moved slightly, and finally, her eyes gleamed as she slowly spoke.
Let's get married.
Upon hearing this, Shen Tinghe was stunned, then overjoyed, and immediately hugged her tightly.
Are you serious?
Lin Qingtong nodded and answered seriously, "I have thought it over carefully. If the person I marry is you, then I am willing to do so."
"Even if I get hurt again in the end, I'll accept it. I'll just consider it a part of my youth..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Tinghe interrupted her.
No, I won't let you get hurt.
He suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Qingtong, took out a ring box from his pocket, and slowly opened it.
With trembling fingers and reddened eyes, Shen Tinghe uttered a single sentence.
"Qingtong, what I want to say today is—marry me."
"Whether we are poor or rich, we will always be together."
He took out the ring and slowly put it on Lin Qingtong's finger, then tears streamed down his face.
Shen Tinghe held Lin Qingtong's hands in his own, resting his forehead on them, his shoulders trembling slightly.
"I love you."
Lin Qingtong was deeply moved by the scene before her and immediately squatted down to look him in the eye.
Her gentle gaze swept across Shen Tinghe's face as she spoke a sentence earnestly and tenderly.
"Shen Tinghe, I love you too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Tinghe leaned down and gently kissed him.
He will love Lin Qingtong forever, until the end of time, until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble.
Above the azure sky, a drone scattered rose petals, which fell gently, while in the distance, several figures huddled together, peeking at them.
"Hey, don't push, let me see."
"Oh my, Ninth Master and his wife are so sweet! Their child must be so beautiful."
"That's great! It looks like we'll be having a wedding banquet soon."
William from the east crossed his arms and snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.
A petal drifted into William's palm, which he slowly clenched, then turned and walked toward Su Wanjun.
"Mom, let's go out for a big meal today."
It doesn't matter if he doesn't have love, since he already has a mother and a sister.
——
Three years later, Lin Qingtong stretched and sat up in bed as the door swung open.
A tiny figure with a spiky ponytail rushed in, chattering away.
"Mom, my brother is bullying me!!"
The soft and adorable little dumpling cried out and pretended to cry as she threw herself at Lin Qingtong's feet.
Lin Qingtong immediately scooped up the little one and held her in her arms, shaking her little hand.
"Then tell me, how did your brother bully you?"
Just then, another boy appeared at the door, looking just like Maruko. His serious expression was almost identical to Shen Tinghe's.
He walked in with a cold face and spread his hands out for Lin Qingtong to see.
"Mom, this is the mess my sister made, and I found out."
Lin Qingtong looked closely and realized that the jewelry that Dongfang William had given her had been torn into pieces by the little guy.
When she realized her situation was exposed, the little girl looked aggrieved and was about to cry.
Lin Qingtong immediately stopped her, saying, "Stop, I won't coax you."
“You were indeed wrong in this matter, and you even turned around and falsely accused your brother. Do you think that's right?”
The little girl wiped away her tears and immediately admitted her mistake.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I was wrong. Brother, I won't do it again next time."
She turned to Lin Qingtong and apologized.
The little boy came over, took the little girl's hand, and led her outside. "If you like anything, you can tell your brother, and I'll take you to your uncle's house to find more sparkly things."
Lin Qingtong was taken aback when she heard this. Her son's indulgence of his younger sister was just as good as Shen Tinghe's.
Just then, Shen Tinghe walked in from outside, wearing an apron around his waist and stirring egg liquid in his hands.
"Honey, get up and eat!"
Lin Qingtong smiled gently, stood up, and followed Shen Tinghe outside.
The warm sunlight shone down on Lin Qingtong and Shen Tinghe, as if enveloping them in a soft glow.
