Life, with its four seasons, actually passes by very quickly; three years can pass in the blink of an eye.
The children will be entering the third grade next September. Moon Bay has been built and business is booming. The lights stay on all night. They even built a large amusement park. The equipment for the amusement park was negotiated by Duan Ye himself when he had some free time.
Although Moon Bay is far from downtown Kyoto, it has a dedicated subway line and bus line. At each stop, there are small vendors making a living. After three years, the number of people doing business here is almost saturated.
Although Luo Qingyuan often works non-stop and travels frequently, she always goes home on weekends. Since Duan Ye rests on weekends, she usually arrives on Fridays and then personally picks him up from work to go home.
Ding Yifen retired early because of her back problems and was taken to Duan Ye's home. She usually picks up the children when she has nothing to do.
Duan Sheng often comes over on weekends, and the whole family gets together for a lively time.
With the help of the elderly to take care of the child, Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan were able to find some peace and quiet. Moreover, Ding Yifen was a university professor and Duan Sheng was a leader in the aerospace field, so they were not worried that the child would be ruined by his upbringing; on the contrary, they were very grateful.
It was Friday again, and Luo Qingyuan's car was parked outside Jinhe Company early in the morning.
The security guards were used to it; the president of Henglun would always pick up Teacher Duan from get off work on Fridays, almost without fail, rain or shine.
So, as soon as Duan Ye came out, a colleague pointed at the Maybach with a smile and said, "Your wife is here again, Mr. Duan, you are so lucky!"
Duan Ye is different now than he was three years ago. He has come into contact with Jinhe's core technology field, but he never makes deep connections with people. He goes home as soon as he gets off work, and the only time he is most high-profile is when Luo Qingyuan appears by his side.
Seeing the familiar car, Duan Ye smiled at his colleague and said, "There's nothing I can do, my wife is just so clingy, she's still the same after all these years. Anyway, see you later."
Duan Ye walked towards the car, and as soon as he sat in the passenger seat, the car quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Jinhe Company's colleagues looked at him with extreme envy, and this happened every week; they were practically green with envy.
How come Duan Ye is so lucky?
Even though I already knew who his wife was and what her status was, I still couldn't help feeling envious and jealous.
At the same time, they all knew very well that if Duan Ye hadn't worked here, they might never have seen someone as wealthy as Luo Qingyuan in their lives.
Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan did not go home, but were on their way to Liu Jie's house. Their child was a month old, a son.
Duan Ye was counting the money in the passenger seat, since the red envelope was made by Luo Qingyuan, so she asked him to count it again.
"Twenty thousand yuan in cash, plus a small gold bar. The red envelope isn't big enough, but it's meant to have a good meaning. I've also prepared a gold bracelet for the baby. Remember to give it to them later."
Duan Ye: "The quantity is correct. You're so good to me, my wife."
Luo Qingyuan smiled and said, "This little bit of money is nothing, I just feel it's not enough."
Duan Ye: "That's enough, that's enough. Liu Jie will probably be grinning from ear to ear when he sees this."
"Liu Jie is your good brother, so naturally I should treat him well too."
Upon hearing this, Duan Ye's mood immediately improved.
"Is this what they call 'love me, love my dog'?"
Luo Qingyuan chuckled softly, "Yes, baby."
Soon, Duan Ye arrived at the place where Liu Jie was holding his one-month celebration.
When Duan Ye walked over with Luo Qingyuan, almost everyone around them turned their attention to them. The development of Moon Bay in recent years had made the couple famous in Kyoto. Even if they didn't know Duan Ye, they all knew Luo Qingyuan.
It really lives up to the saying that in this decadent and extravagant Kyoto, even a penny falling from the sky would be considered a fortune.
As soon as they arrived, Liu Jie brought Qiao Zhi out, and Qiao Zhi was holding a child in her arms.
Lin Feng and Ruan Jie followed behind with their child.
Duan Ye came holding Luo Qingyuan's hand.
The moment the three met, the scene became lively.
Liu Jie: "You little rascal, you finally decided to bring your wife out?"
Duan Ye smiled and said, "That's a nice thing to say. You've always been willing to spend money."
Luo Qingyuan, on the other hand, mingled with Qiao Zhi and Ruan Jie.
"Sister-in-law, may I hold the baby?"
Qiao Zhi's eyes lit up, and she quickly handed her son over, saying, "Of course! I couldn't be happier!"
Soon, Luo Qingyuan held the child in her arms, and Ruan Jie smiled happily: "This child is so beautiful."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jie proudly replied, "Of course! Don't you know who his parents are?"
Liu Jie's words made everyone burst into laughter, creating a very warm atmosphere.
After chatting and joking around at the door for a while, everyone took their seats.
Liu Jie arranged a separate table for the three families. Duan Ye greeted Luo Qingyuan and Liu Jie's family before sitting down.
The meal was very enjoyable, because even if someone wanted to get to know the Luo family, Liu Jie and Qiao Zhi blocked them.
Liu Jie and Qiao Zhi were deeply in love, and Qiao Zhi's face still showed the joy of becoming a mother for the first time. The atmosphere between Lin Feng and Ruan Jie was also harmonious. The child was playing nearby, and they took good care of him, chatting with him from time to time about interesting things at work. The scene was very warm.
Surrounded by a bustling crowd, their table seemed to be isolated from the world.
A familiar voice rang in my ears: "Stop daydreaming, hurry up and eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, peeled shrimp and crab meat appeared in Duan Ye's bowl.
He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, only to see Luo Qingyuan's profile with a slight upturn of her lips. Time had indeed left a few traces on her face, with fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but her appearance seemed no different from when he first met her.
Suddenly, Duan Ye lowered his head and chuckled softly. These three years have truly felt like a dream.
"What's wrong?" Luo Qingyuan asked him with concern.
He looked up and met a pair of eyes filled with worry and heartache.
Duan Ye explained softly, "I just think this kind of life is good."
What kind of life?
"I want a stable life where I'm surrounded by the same person every year, with a stable lover and stable friends."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingyuan suddenly smiled, her smile brighter than the sunlight outside.
The passage of time has made them all more mature.
"Let's eat," she said with a smile.
"Okay," he replied with a smile.
After the full moon celebration, Luo Qingyuan drove Duan Ye back to Moon Bay.
It was a summer night.
The evening breeze carried waves of heat.
Luo Qingyuan rolled down the car window. Duan Ye was dozing off in the passenger seat. She slowed down the car and played soft music. The two of them enjoyed the tranquility together.
