Cheng Lingxiu had a very long dream.
In the 21st century, she and Shang Xiao went from being students to getting married, and had two children, Shang Yunlan and Shang Shaoyan. However, she died in a car accident when Shang Shaoyan was one year old.
When they opened their eyes again, the two had traveled to the Southern Chen Dynasty, which did not exist in history, and got married and had children again.
Perhaps it was fate, but they still had a son and a daughter, and gave them the same names as another pair of siblings.
What followed was a long and protracted war.
Two years ago, she and Shang Xiao sensed the emperor's fear and murderous intent towards them, and their first reaction was to rebel. However, they were unexpectedly kidnapped by a person named Xie Huayin, who then did something to them that caused them to lose part of their memories.
...So, by this calculation, she and Shang Xiao have been married a total of three times.
Although it's outrageous, it's also kind of sweet, hehe.
...
When Cheng Lingxiu woke up, it was already dark—Shang Yunlan and Shang Xiao were both anxiously watching her bedside, their eyes fixed on her.
Cheng Lingxiu looked at Shang Yunlan, her nose tingling, and her hand trembled as she touched Shang Yunlan's cheek: "Are you... Lanlan?"
Shang Yunlan's pupils contracted.
Only his mother would call him that—in the original owner's memories, his mother, Cheng Lingxiu, always called him Yunlan, while his own mother always called him Lanlan.
Shang Yunlan's eyes reddened as she looked at Cheng Lingxiu's loving face, and she couldn't help but shed tears: "Mom?"
Cheng Lingxiu was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears: "Mom's Lanlan has grown up."
Shang Yunlan hugged Cheng Lingxiu, like a lost child who couldn't find her way home, and choked out, "Mom, An'an and I miss you so much."
Watching the mother and son weep in each other's arms, Shang Xiao couldn't help but feel helpless: "Lingxiu, you just woke up, do you want to eat something first? And Lanlan, he's been watching over you the whole time, he hasn't eaten anything."
Cheng Lingxiu hastily wiped away her tears and smiled, "I didn't expect this... Let's go eat quickly."
Shang Xiao did not regain his memory, but he naturally felt a fatherly affection and closeness towards Shang Yunlan. He asked Shang Yunlan many questions with a smile, and the three of them enjoyed their meal together happily.
Cheng Lingxiu kept asking about Shang Shaoyan's past and present lives, her mind filled with thoughts of her daughter. Shang Xiao listened from the side and felt his memories gradually becoming clearer.
"Where is An'an now?" Cheng Lingxiu asked. "I haven't seen her. Is she busy with official duties?"
Shang Yunlan paused in her chopsticks, and said somewhat cautiously, "An'an went to Northern Zhou."
Cheng Lingxiu was stunned for a moment, then realized the underlying meaning of those words, and her expression changed: "She..."
Cheng Lingxiu wanted to say, "She was too reckless," or "Swords have no eyes, what if she gets hurt?"... But soon, she smiled dejectedly: "Never mind, Lao Shang and I have never been with you all these years, let alone understood you. An'an is an adult now, and she took over the Southern Chen kingdom on her own, so she must know what she's doing."
Shang Yunlan sighed and helplessly picked up a piece of food for Cheng Lingxiu with her chopsticks: "It's a good thing that you care about me and An'an, what's wrong with that? But An'an does have her own plans."
He paused for a moment and then smiled, “An’an is by no means a fragile or easily broken person; she is even stronger than me.”
Cheng Lingxiu sighed with some emotion, "That's good then."
