I suddenly realized.
"Su Shenglin, you're faking being drunk!"
He laughed and reached out his hand to me: "If we don't do this, those guys will definitely get me really drunk!"
I walked over, and he pulled me by the hand to the bedside.
He took the water glass from my hand, took a sip, and put it on the bedside table. When he looked up again, a sly glint flashed in his eyes, and he pulled me down.
"Su Shenglin! In broad daylight!"
"So what? Tonight is our wedding night." He smiled and kissed me, but I turned my face away in disgust. "You smell so strongly of alcohol..."
He sniffed it himself and found it hard to accept.
I thought he was already impatient, but to my surprise, he paused for a moment and then suddenly pulled me up.
"Come on, let's go wash up."
He probably also had his image to maintain and didn't want our first meeting in two years to leave a bad impression on each other.
He wanted to hug me, but I was afraid he wouldn't be able to stand properly, so we playfully wrestled around. In the end, he picked me up and carried me horizontally.
"I already said I wasn't drunk..."
I knew this afternoon was going to be a disaster, so I couldn't help but remind him, "My son is still in the hospital, being taken care of by his aunt."
"Okay, we'll pick him up after Mom and Dad finish their business."
"Su Shenglin, you're being so improper—"
"Loving your wife is the most important thing."
"..."

Two months later.
My grandmother passed away peacefully late one night.
When I received the call, Su Shenglin and I had just woken up, and he was turning over to do something.
When I heard my phone ring, I saw it was my aunt calling, and I had a premonition.
Upon hearing my voice on the phone, he silently got up and dressed immediately, even bringing all my clothes and placing them beside the bed.
I put down my phone, looked at him, and said with an extremely calm expression, "Grandma is gone..."
"Yes, I know. I'll go to the hospital with you."
He helped me get dressed, and I belatedly realized what was happening, so I whispered, "I'm fine, I can manage on my own."
When we arrived at the hospital, all of our few relatives were there.
When my aunt saw me, she came over with red eyes: "Grandma passed away peacefully. The doctor said she passed away in her sleep without pain."
I nodded and gently comforted my aunt.
On his way here, Su Shenglin had already asked someone to contact the funeral home.
He handled all the arrangements for his grandmother's funeral.
Understated and simple, yet dignified.
Another month passed, and Mr. Su also passed away.
The Su family's funeral was extremely grand. I stood next to Su Shenglin, in the family section.
Many guests were surprised to see this, but they accepted it calmly and kept quiet about it without saying a word.
Su Shenglin was grieving, but he was used to remaining calm and composed.
That night, as I kept vigil with him, he said softly, "It was Grandpa who brought you into my life... So, even though the old man had separated us, I never blamed him. Fortunately, you came back to me before he passed away, with such a smart and adorable son..."
I listened quietly, and before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face.

Two years later, I became pregnant again.
And luckily, she was pregnant with twins.
At that time, my newly established clothing brand, [Wanlin], was opening up the market and gradually emerging.
I am once again faced with a choice between my children and my career.
Without saying a word, Su Shenglin told me to continue working hard on my career, while he took on the roles of bodyguard and driver every day, following me around and taking care of me.
He said he wanted to make up for the loss he experienced with his first child with his second.
Nine months later, she gave birth smoothly.
We are delighted to welcome two little princesses, healthy and adorable.
The entire Su family was overjoyed and held a grand full-moon celebration.
Although Su Shenglin and I never had a wedding ceremony.
But as everyone in the industry knows, he treated me with utmost care and favor.
In the first half of my life, I witnessed the full spectrum of human emotions, and my family ties were weak.
But in the latter half, he enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and was blessed with good fortune.
All of this was brought to me by that man named Su Shenglin.
If there is an afterlife, I wish to meet him sooner.
Then, it would be my turn to pursue him—
