Mr. Li, my wife doesn’t want to remarry and secretly gives birth to a baby.

Jiang Tong listened quietly as he whispered in her ear.

At this moment, not knowing if tomorrow will bring a storm, I suddenly feel that cherishing the present is enough.

Because we don't know if we'll be alive in the next second, how short life is, and how long we can stay with the ones we love.

How much time can we spend together?

Jiang Tong buried her head deeply in Li Jingchen's arms, her hands wrapped around his waist.

“I was wrong too. Actually, every time I talked to you about divorce, I thought... you should comfort me more and talk to me more. I was afraid that you would no longer care about me or love me.”

If you really want a divorce, it's not far to drive to the Civil Affairs Bureau, or it's not troublesome to ask someone with connections to go through the litigation process.

The person who keeps talking about divorce is actually not really in love with the other person, and is still hoping to salvage the relationship and repair the relationship.

This hard-won relationship, after all this time, even through cold wars and separations, at least they are still husband and wife...

Once they completely separated, Jiang Tong knew very well that they would never get back together as husband and wife.

“The divorce agreement you see every time you come home is just a cover; there’s nothing inside. Every time I watch you come home, stay for two days, and then leave. You don’t want to talk to me; you only talk to our son. I really wish you could talk to me and communicate with me.”

Li Jingchen was deeply moved. So that's what she was thinking. "I thought divorce was what you wanted, so in front of Ye Hong, I said I wanted to divorce you. I thought you would be happy, but I didn't expect it to make you so sad."

"I hope you'll give me another chance. I'll do better. Okay? Please don't divorce me."

Because of his negligence, because of his misunderstanding.

Only when he found her did his heart truly settle down.

I can't bear to think about what would happen to her if something were to happen to her... What would he do then?

"Okay." That night, Jiang Tong just wanted to hold him tightly and didn't want to think about anything else.

Outside, a fierce storm raged, but only the two of them remained in this small house, seemingly far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world, embracing each other tightly.

……

The typhoon quietly subsided in the early morning of the following day.

After the rain, the sky cleared...

Jiang Tong pushed open the wooden door that had been swaying in the wind all night, and a scent full of grass, wood, and soil rushed towards her.

The mountains and forests, cleansed by the storm, seemed to have been transformed. The leaves were a vibrant green, glistening with raindrops, and the distant mountains were shrouded in a light veil.

This sight surprised and delighted her.

Li Jingchen saw it too. He hugged her from behind, resting his chin on the top of her head. Holding her like this, quietly appreciating the beautiful scenery after the rain, was not bad either.

The two packed their things and prepared to leave.

Last night there was thunder and lightning, but now, looking at the forest that has survived the disaster, her heart feels more open.

The tender grass that sprouts from the cracks in the rocks is silent yet resilient. It has endured countless storms and hardships, yet it still stands tall, basking in the sunshine and rain that it has regained after being lost.

The power of life...

It feels so good to be alive.

The two continued walking and saw the Maybach S680 under the rainbow.

The car's body is sleek and dazzling.

The car, clean and new after a night of rain, stood proudly at the village entrance.

Li Jingchen checked his car and found that there was nothing wrong with the car or the engine.

Jiang Tong remarked with emotion, "This car has been with you for a very long time."

"So I can't bear to wreck it."

Indeed, this Maybach was the first business vehicle he bought when he established the Dijing Group, and it witnessed his rise and struggle.

Like the BMW in the garage at home, it holds special significance for Li Jingchen.

Two people got into the car.

We descended the mountain while the weather was still nice.

Tao Guanglei was already waiting for them at the foot of the mountain, and Gu Heng was also there.

"Big brother!" Tao Guanglei ran over quickly, trudging through the muddy road. "Are you and my sister-in-law alright?"

"It's alright." Fortunately, they found Jiang Tong without any problems, and the two of them spent the night huddled together in the old house on the mountain.

Tao Guanglei breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness you're all alright, otherwise I would have had to fly the helicopter up the mountain."

Gu Heng proved that what he said was true.

Jiang Tong said, "I'm sorry, I've caused everyone trouble."

Gu Heng quickly said, "Actually, Lao Li didn't want you to worry, which is why he didn't tell you about our plans. I hope this won't affect your relationship."

Tao Guanglei also said, "Yes, sister-in-law, you have no idea. Knowing that you came to Zengcheng in the typhoon, my older brother drove all the way from Shenzhen on the highway."

"Luckily, it's not too far away. If it were in Nandi, it would be quite far to drive here."

"Alright," Li Jingchen interrupted them in time, put his arm around Jiang Tong's shoulder, and prepared to leave.

Taking advantage of the fact that planes are still flying, the group took a plane back to Nandi.

After experiencing a terrifying typhoon, Jiang Tong returned home and just wanted to rest for two days.

…………

As for Song Qingyi, he took care of Li Xixi until she was discharged from the hospital.

These past few days, he's been inseparable from this little girl.

There was no way around it; the little girl's big, watery eyes called him "Papa Song," and he couldn't help but soften his heart.

Li Xixi was getting ready to be discharged from the hospital. Li Qinghe was downstairs helping her with the paperwork, while Song Qingyi was in the room helping Xixi pack her things.

My gaze fell on the used children's toothbrush in the bathroom...

He was stunned for a moment.

If Li Xixi's biological father isn't Ye Jun, then who is Xixi's biological father? Could it be...?

When Li Qinghe returned after paying the fees, she saw Song Qingyi squatting down, putting shoes on Xixi.

He's just like a stay-at-home dad.

"Brother Qingyi, thank you for your hard work these past few days. I'll pack Xixi's things and then we'll leave."

"It's okay, I've already packed Xixi's things and put them all in her bag."

"Really? Thank you so much. Let me treat you to dinner."

Song Qingyi had helped her a lot, and Li Qinghe felt very indebted to him.

"Don't mention it. Your older brother and sister-in-law have gone back to Nandi, and I should go back to Nandi too. I have a lot of things to do. My mother said she wants to come over."

"oh oh."

Li Qinghe understood him; Song Qingyi must have missed a lot of work.

Seeing that Song Qingyi was about to leave, Li Xixi was very reluctant to part with him, and so was Li Qinghe.

The nurse even mistook him for her husband and called him the child's father. If Li Qinghe hadn't explained that he was her brother, it would have been a huge misunderstanding.

"Xixi, Uncle Song still has work to do, but he'll come to see you again when he's done."

As she spoke, Li Qinghe winked at Song Qingyi, urging him to leave quickly.

Song Qingyi didn't want to leave in a hurry. He patted the child's head and said, "Uncle will come to see you again when he's done with his work."

"Really? Pinky promise."

Li Xixi extended her little finger.

"Okay." Song Qingyi and the little guy made a pinky promise.

Li Xixi reluctantly let go of her hand.

Song Qingyi turned and left, a complex look in his eyes.

Before boarding the plane, he called his friend Xing Sihao.

Ask him to help me get a paternity test done.
