half a month later.

Minsheng Hospital VIP ward.

Gu Shengtang sat at the table, staring at the computer screen in front of him with a frown.

"Hey, why are you working again?"

Ding Ning walked in quickly and closed the laptop in front of Gu Shengtang with a slight frown.

"I'm just taking a look!" Gu Shengtang said softly, looking at the somewhat angry Ding Ning with a little nervousness.

"You can't just take a look!" Ding Ning frowned and helped him to the bed.

The last car accident broke three of his ribs. Perhaps because of his previous injuries, he recovered very slowly.

"If you don't obey me, I will leave you alone."

Ding Ning was determined to give him a lesson.

"Okay, okay!" Gu Shengtang had no choice but to beg for mercy, "I promise, I won't work overtime again, is that okay?"

Ding Ning's expression softened and he served him the bone soup he brought from home.

"What smells so good~"

Suddenly an old voice came from the door.

Gu Shengtang and Ding Ning looked up at the same time and saw Ruan Yunshu walking in with Old Man Gu.

"Grandpa, why are you here!"

Gu Shengtang wanted to get up, but Old Man Gu waved his hand to stop him, "Don't move around, take good care of yourself, so that your mother and your wife won't worry."

Gu Shengtang looked up at his mother.

Ruan Yunshu's expression remained indifferent, but he spoke softly.

"She has recovered a little better in the past few days. Just rest and recuperate. Xiao Nian is doing well with me. She has gained some weight since you took care of her by yourselves."

Ding Ning felt warm at heart as he listened to their conversation.

Since the accident, Mr. Gu's attitude towards her has changed a lot.

Ruan Yuanshu also returned to the Gu family's old house from the sanatorium. He usually stayed at home and rarely went out, copying Buddhist scriptures.

But she would often ask someone to pick up Xiao Nian and prepare delicious food for him.

Ruan Yunshu was very cold to everyone else, but was very fond of Xiao Nian.

Maybe this is what grandparents mean.

Seeing that Gu Shangtang had recovered well, Mr. Gu sat for a while and then went back.

Ruan Yunshu supported him and walked out. Old Man Gu looked up at the blue sky and said, "Today's weather is really nice~"

He paused and said, "Yun Shu, please give the ancestral jade bracelet to Ding Ning."

Ruan Yuanshu paused, "Dad! What are you doing......"

Old Master Gu said slowly: "It seems that she is the destined half of our Shengtang. No one can separate them! You have to accept your fate~"

In another ward of Minsheng Hospital.

Ji Yanran was lying on the hospital bed in a hospital gown, her legs hanging high.

The car accident caused both of her legs to be shattered, and the doctor diagnosed that she would probably have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

Ji Yanran looked out the window absentmindedly, tears falling silently.

At this time, the door opened gently and a tall and upright man walked in.

He looked to be in his thirties, wearing a dark tailor-made suit, appearing calm and reserved.

On the face with clear lines, a pair of deep eyes revealed depth and indifference.

"Brother~"

Ji Yanran called out softly, but tears started to flow down first.

Ji Lingfeng walked to the bedside, looked at his sister's miserable condition, and frowned slightly.

"I just got the news when I came back from abroad. Yanran, why are you doing this?"

Ji Yanran turned her head away, not wanting her brother to see her tears.

"Brother, this is my business, leave me alone."

Ji Lingfeng sat down on the chair beside the bed and spoke slowly.

"I indulged you too much, always thinking that you could handle everything, which led to today's unmanageable situation. Look at what you are like now. For a man who doesn't love you, you made yourself like this. Is it worth it?"

Ji Yanran bit her lip and said stubbornly: "I love him, I am not wrong, and I don't regret it!"

Ji Lingfeng sighed: "There's nothing wrong with loving someone, but you can't lose yourself because of loving someone. I used to be like you, obsessed with someone, for her, I could do anything. But in the end, what did I get? Nothing but endless pain and regret."

Ji Yanran raised her head and looked at her brother in surprise.

She only knew that her brother was not in favor of marriage, but she had never heard him talk about his emotional experiences.

Ji Lingfeng nodded slightly: "At that time, I was young and hot-tempered. I only knew to be good to her one-sidedly, but never considered her feelings. It was not until she left me that I realized that if you love someone, you should respect her instead of giving to her self-righteously. Yanran, you are really wrong this time. Love is never a one-person thing."

Ji Yanran was silent, her heart full of contradictions.

Ji Lingfeng continued, "Yanran, let it go. Gu Shengtang doesn't belong to you. If you continue to cling to him, it will only make you more miserable. You still have your family and me. Your brother will always be with you. I will send you to the United States and heal your leg. You still have a long way to go in your life. Don't ruin your future because of a wrong choice."

Ji Yanran turned her head and looked out the window, "Brother, I'm tired, let me rest for a while..."

Gu Shengtang was finally able to be discharged from the hospital, and Ding Ning came to take him home.

The two walked hand in hand in the hospital corridor, with happy smiles on their faces.

Just as they turned a corner, they suddenly saw Ji Yanran sitting in a wheelchair.

Her face was a little pale, and her eyes fell on the hands held by Gu Shengtang and Ding Ning.

She had once been filled with jealousy and resentment towards them.

But now, after suddenly feeling relieved, she felt no ripples in her heart when she saw such a scene again.

Gu Shengtang and Ding Ning also stopped, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

It was Gu Shengtang who broke the silence first.

"Is your injury getting better?"

Ji Yanran nodded, she hesitated, and asked softly: "Why didn't you pursue this matter?"

Gu Shengtang was slightly startled, then said calmly: "Let the past be the past. What can be changed by pursuing it? Besides, your brother gave me the environmental protection project, so the matter is even."

Ding Ning looked at Ji Yanran and felt a little emotional.

What happened that day still scares her, but now, she hopes everyone can let go of the past and start over.

"Miss Ji, let the past be the past. We should all look forward and find our own happiness."

Ji Yanran was silent for a moment, then revealed a faint smile.

"You are right. It is meaningless to force something that does not belong to me. I should let it go. I wish you happiness."

After saying that, he turned the wheelchair and slowly left.

Looking at her back, Gu Shengtang and Ding Ning were filled with emotion. It seemed that she had really let go of her obsession.

A few weeks later...

In the evening, Gu Shengtang returned home. Before he even entered the door, he heard Xiao Nian's cheerful laughter and Ding Ning's gentle words.

The moment I opened the door, a warm breath hit me.

Xiao Nian was the first one to see Gu Shengtang and immediately ran over.

"Dad, you're back!" Gu Shengtang picked up Xiaonian and kissed him on his little face.

"Did you miss Dad today?" Xiao Nian nodded vigorously, "Yes, I miss you very much."

Ding Ning walked over with a smile, took Gu Shengtang's coat and hung it up.

"Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Gu Shengtang looked at Ding Ning, his eyes full of love.

The family sat around the dining table, eating delicious meals and sharing the fun events of the day.

Xiao Nian danced and talked about the games she played with her friends in kindergarten, making Gu Shengtang and Ding Ning laugh.

After dinner, Gu Shengtang and Ding Ning played games with Xiao Nian in the living room. They played with building blocks and puzzles together.

"The big bad wolf quietly stretched its claws into the door..." Gu Shengtang and Ding Ning sat by the bed and told Xiaonian a story.

Seeing Xiao Nian's eyes gradually closing, Gu Shengtang gently covered him with a blanket, took Ding Ning's hand and tiptoed out of the room.

They went to the balcony and looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky.

Gu Shengtang embraced Ding Ning and whispered, "Since I married you, do you know what I often think about?"

"what?"

"I often worry about what would happen if I never met you? What would happen if I didn't recover my memory after the car accident and lost you? I am afraid that the happiness now is just a dream, and you will be gone when I wake up. If that's the case, how should I live in the future?"

Ding Ning gently leaned her head on Gu Shengtang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xiao Nian and I will always be with you in the future, and we will always be happy like this."

Gu Shengtang took her hand and kissed it gently, then shook his head with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"That won't do. It doesn't feel real at all."

“This doesn’t feel real yet?”

Ding Ning was speechless. "Then how can you feel that we are truly with you?"

Gu Shengtang had a wicked smile on his face, and suddenly picked up Ding Ning and said, "You are in me, and I am in you!"

Ding Ning's face instantly turned red. "I'm afraid that's not possible."

Gu Shengtang frowned, "You don't want to?"

Ding Ning's face turned even redder. "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't!"

She gently touched her still flat belly with her hand, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in the next ten months."

"what?"

Gu Shengtang showed a hint of surprise on his face, "When did it happen? That's great, we are going to welcome a new life, Ding Ning, give me a daughter this time."

Ding Ning said shyly, "It's not certain whether it will be a boy or a girl.

Gu Shengtang: "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, as long as it's yours, it's fine~"

The moonlight fell on them, as if covering them with a layer of gentle veil.

On this quiet night, they hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth and love.

The future is long, and there may be many unknowns.

But there is one thing they are all sure of, that is, they love each other, and in the future, they will continue to walk hand in hand...for a very, very long time.
