"Then I’ll try to accompany you home in the future. If I have work, I’ll bring it home to do."

An Xiaonuan slowed her eating pace slightly, picking up a few grains of rice with her chopsticks and asked, "These days have been so plain, won’t you get bored?"

"How could I? I’ve decided that if I want to do something other than work, if I want to go out and have fun, I’ll take you with me." Huangfu Ye reached out and held her hand.

"Huangfu Ye, if you really don’t like these plain days, you can tell me." An Xiaonuan put down her bowl.

"Xiao Nuan, I love the days we’re having now; they make me feel comfortable and warm. I know what you’re worried about, but don’t worry, it won’t happen. And you must not say those things about being together if it’s meant to be and separating if it’s not, got it? I’m willing to change for you." Huangfu Ye picked up some vegetables for her.

An Xiaonuan was very moved because this time Huangfu Ye wasn’t just saying he would change; he was showing her with his actions that he was willing to compromise and make changes for her.

He was even willing to learn how to cook for their future life together.

Although the two times he cooked were not tasty, he would no longer just wait to be served. He would help with washing vegetables, cutting them, washing dishes, and tidying up the house.

"Okay." An Xiaonuan nodded, feeling her nose tingle.

"I still have some things to deal with tonight, and I might come back very late, but I promise I won’t go to places like bars again." Huangfu Ye said.

"I know." An Xiaonuan smiled.

"I’ll be quite busy recently. Sometimes I might not come home at night, but don’t worry, just wait for me at home... Something big might happen soon, and once everything is over, I’ll spend every day with you... Then we’ll have two babies too. Qingxin is pregnant with twins for my brother. I think, with my abilities, I can at least make you have three, no, five."

Huangfu Ye’s words made An Xiaonuan burst into laughter. She playfully glared at him, "Do you think I’m a pig? Having so many at once!"

"I didn’t mean that! Pigs might have ten or eight at once!"

Huangfu Ye looked at her, amused.

"Are you saying I’m worse than a pig?" An Xiaonuan glared at him angrily, immediately pulling the dishes toward herself, "No more food for you."

"Boohoo, husband abuse! Boohoo, there’s domestic violence!" Huangfu Ye pretended to shout.

An Xiaonuan was amused, laughing loudly.

"Xiao Nuan!" Huangfu Ye suddenly turned serious. He looked at her intently, making An Xiaonuan startled. She blinked at him, "After this is over, let’s get married."

An Xiaonuan’s heart stopped...

...

An Xiaonuan sat on the bed, the words that Huangfu Ye had just said echoed in her mind, ’After this is over, let’s get married.’

She suddenly began to cry, hugging her legs tightly and burying her face in her knees. Is her happiness really here? Is her suffering really about to end?

Thinking of her tragic past, she thought she might have done something wrong in her past life, and this life would never grant her happiness.

Now, is happiness truly arriving?

She covered her heart with her hand. If this happiness truly comes to her, she will spend the rest of her life grateful for everything.
