Happiness, at this moment, was magnified infinitely, touching everyone present.
Ye Nian'an nestled happily in Chu Yan's arms, feeling his familiar and comforting scent.
She slightly opened her eyes, and through the hazy tears, looked at the handsome face before her that she could never tire of seeing, and at the vast ocean of stars in his eyes that existed only for her. She felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and peace in her heart.
All the suffering and sorrow of the past life have transformed into the prelude to happiness in this life.
She finally, completely, reconciled with the tragedy of the past.
They embraced their own most brilliant and brightest future.
In this life, I have him, my children, my family, and my friends...
That's enough!
Eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.
It's already 2000.
The millennium symbolizes a century of romance and division.
Those past grudges and affections have long been washed away by the rolling tide of time, turning into the dust of history.
Ye Nian'an and her family members, on their respective life trajectories, shone with the most dazzling light.
Two months after the engagement party, Ye Sheng and Shen Shuling, Song Yan and Chu Xin'er resolutely packed their bags and headed south to Shenzhen, immersing themselves in that land full of opportunities and challenges.
Eighteen years have passed, and their small garment factory has long since developed into a business empire integrating real estate, finance, and technology—the Happiness Home Group.
With his keen eye and innate business acumen, Ye Sheng seized every opportunity during the wave of reform and opening up, transforming himself from a "ten-thousand-yuan household" into a "billionaire" whose wealth was out of reach in the news.
Shen Shuling, Chu Xin'er, and Song Yan have each become key figures in the group, capable of handling their own responsibilities.
The four of them, working together, have long been leading business tycoons in the country.
The eldest brother, Ye Yao, married Leng Siqing three years after Ye Sheng and Shen Shuling got engaged, with the blessings of the whole family.
With her outstanding talent, Leng Siqing stayed at Haicheng University, starting as a teaching assistant and eventually becoming a professor in the literature department who was as famous as her husband.
The couple shared the same ideals and worked in perfect harmony, walking side by side in the halls of academia. They were praised as a "perfect couple" throughout Haicheng University, envied by all.
Ye Hui, the second brother, brought home a girl unexpectedly in the third year after Ye Yao and Leng Siqing got married. This tough guy, whom the whole family thought would dedicate his life to the military, was unexpectedly a member of the military.
The girl had a simple ponytail, clean features, and a heroic air about her. Even her faded military uniform couldn't hide the resilience in her bones.
When Ye Hui introduced her, a hint of shyness appeared on his usually resolute face: "Dad, Mom, this is my girlfriend, my future wife. Her name is... Zhu Zhongguo."
Bless China!
When Ye Hui uttered those three words, the entire Ye family erupted in shock!
No one expected that a casual remark Ye Hui made while trying to serve his country and fend off pressure to get married would be so blatant.
"A pure love, only for China"—this statement has become a self-fulfilling prophecy!
He truly found a wonderful girl named "China," and gave her his pure love without reservation.
As for Xu Yao, seeing that all his good brothers had settled down and started families while he remained carefree and irresponsible, his parents finally couldn't sit still any longer.
In 1988, the Xu family swiftly arranged a business marriage for him with the daughter of another wealthy family, who was even more hot-tempered and spoiled than him.
Two guys who couldn't stand each other were forced together, and their married life was a complete mess. They had a small argument every three days and a big fight every five days, making them a laughing stock in the entire high society of Haicheng.
But no one expected that in the midst of these daily confrontations and arguments, the two would actually develop feelings for each other.
By the time everyone realized what had happened, the once unruly young master of the Xu family had already been completely subdued by the arrogant Mrs. Xu and had fallen into utter ruin.
He willingly transformed from a wild horse into a henpecked husband who revolves around his wife and children.
As for the four elders in the family, Chu Zhenyuan, Chi Xinyao, Ye Xiang, and Jin Xiangyu, they completely let go of all their burdens after their children had all started their own families and their grandchildren had all grown up.
They became the most fashionable "senior citizens' travel group" in the circle.
Today they're feeding pigeons in front of a castle in Europe, and tomorrow they're sunbathing on a beach in Australia.
With a camera in hand, he lives his later years with more freedom and enjoyment than many young people, having a wonderful time.
And that once "most luxurious" flower girl group has now grown into a group that Ye Nian'an and Chu Yan can be incredibly proud of.
The eldest son, Chu Chaoyang, aged 26, perfectly inherited Ye Nian'an's business acumen and Chu Yan's composure and decisiveness.
After graduating from a top business school abroad, he was directly parachuted into the "Happy Home" Group. With his decisive methods and forward-looking strategic vision, he quickly secured the position of president and became the undisputed "Little President Chu" in the group.
Chu Mingyuan, born in 1982, showed amazing athletic talent from a young age and eventually chose a career in tennis, a career filled with sweat and glory.
Today, he is a key player on the national team, sweating it out on the international stage to win glory for the country, and is an idol in the hearts of countless young people.
The third daughter, Chu Xiangqing, has become an emerging fashion designer, established her own independent studio, and is ambitiously preparing to enter the international market.
Not long ago, she even organized the design sketches that Ye Nian'an had drawn in his spare time over the years and created a haute couture series called "Mother".
