The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

Hua Jingxing has three daughters but no sons. Although he has adopted two godsons, Haibo and Tai'an, none of them bear the surname Hua. Therefore, Hua Yan wants to have three children herself so that one of them can have the surname Hua.

She hadn't discussed this with Taiji yet, nor did she know Tairanzhi and Shengfang's opinions.

"Brother, my dad came today, and there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Hua Yan called Taiji.

"Yan'er, you can decide whatever you want. I have no objections."

Taiji originally wanted to stay home with Huayan during her postpartum period, but he couldn't do without her for research and development.

"Heh! You agreed without even asking what it was about?"

Hua Yan felt somewhat helpless; sometimes being pampered can also be a burden.

"I agree, whatever you decide will definitely be fine."

Taiji gave a matter-of-fact reply.

"Ahem! Let's discuss this further! It involves your parents' opinions."

"They will agree with you."

That's what Taiji really thinks.

"Let me finish speaking before you decide. There are two boys, one surnamed Tai and the other surnamed Hua. My dad doesn't have any sons, and although he doesn't care, I don't want him to have any regrets."

Hua Yan finished speaking calmly and waited for Taiji's reaction.

"Okay! Let Dad think of a name for the child."

Taiji didn't hesitate at all, because the child was born to Huayan, and she had the absolute right to decide. Besides, it really didn't matter what surname the child had, as they were all his children.

"Thank you, brother."

"What are you saying? Don't you even have this much faith in me?"

"Nice to have you!"

"Having you is the greatest happiness in my life, including my past life."

Taiji only had eyes for Huayan.

"Yan'er, I'll talk to my parents about this, so don't worry about it."

"It's okay, I'll talk to them. I don't want them to have any misunderstandings."

Hua Yan didn't think she would cause any inconvenience by speaking up. As long as Taiji didn't object, there wouldn't be any problem. Although she was the one who gave birth to the child, it was their child, and she couldn't let Taiji feel neglected.

"Yan'er, childbirth is too hard. Fortunately, we had three at once, so we won't have any more."

Taiji gets nervous whenever he thinks about Huayan giving birth, even though nothing unexpected has happened. He's still worried. This is also why they didn't have children in their previous life; he doesn't want to lose Huayan because of a child.

"Okay! No need, three are enough."

Hua Yan had no strong desire for children. In her previous life, Taiji was worried about the dangers of childbirth for her, so she didn't have any.

Who would have thought that if it weren't for Sheng Fang urging them to have children, these three children would never have had the chance to come into this world.

Hua Yan spoke to Sheng Fang first.

"Mom, I have an idea. I want my second son to take my surname. My dad has no sons, so his lineage is considered to have ended. I want to make up for this regret."

I have this idea because, although the three of us sisters are girls, we have never been neglected from childhood to adulthood, which is the most reasonable thing about my father.

I want to repay my father for his love and care, and let him know that his bloodline will continue.

Hua Yan felt no burden; she was informing Sheng Fang, not seeking her opinion.

“Great! My husband and I are planning that if Tai’an still allows children to have children in the future, they should have the surname Hua, so that your dad can’t have adopted him as his godson for nothing.”

Sheng Fang didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even need to discuss it with Tai Ran.

"Thank you mom!"

Hua Yan grasped Sheng Fang's hand and sincerely expressed her gratitude.

"We're all family, why are you talking about this? You gave birth to these children, so you can let them have whatever surname they want. There's no reason for others to gossip."

Besides, you're just giving your second son the surname Hua, what's wrong with that?

"This time, your dad needs to think of a name for the baby too. Thai guitar dad has come up with many, but none are satisfactory. Now that there's one less, it's easier, and there shouldn't be as much pressure."

Sheng Fang smiled, showing no dissatisfaction whatsoever.

When Sheng Fang discussed this matter with Tai Ran, Tai Ran agreed.

When Hua Yan told Hua Jingxing about this, Hua Jingxing looked stunned and confused, his mind blank for a long time.

"Jiu'er, how can the child have the surname Hua! You can't make such an unreasonable request just because the Tai family treats you well."

Although Hua Jingxing was tempted, he remained rational. He didn't want Hua Yan to have any rift with the Tai family because of this.

"Dad! Everyone in the Tai family agrees, and they even asked you to name the second child!"

Hua Yan's relaxed expression told Hua Jingxing that it was true. He didn't say anything, patted Hua Yan's shoulder twice, and turned his head to casually wipe his eyes.

Everyone contributed their wisdom regarding the child's name, but in the end, everyone thought Hua Yan was the best choice.

Only the peony is truly a national beauty; when it blooms, it stirs the capital. (Liu Yuxi's "Appreciating Peonies")

Fortune and prosperity unite like the wind and clouds, fame and glory flourish in autumn – Taiyun He, Taihua Qiu (Wang Zhi's "Elegy for Yang Canzheng on Behalf of Li Shujie")

The eldest son is named Tai Yunhe, the second son is named Hua Jingcheng, and the third son is a girl named Tai Huaqiu.

Because their birth date was shrouded in mystery, being the Mayan prophecy of the end of the world, Hua Yan named her eldest child Maya, her second child Prophecy, and her youngest child Doomsday to commemorate this special day.

Hua Yan has always believed that the reason this world did not end is because the arrival of her three children opened a new chapter for the world.

Haha! That's a bit arrogant.

However, these three children are indeed extraordinary, perfectly inheriting Hua Yan's abilities and appearance. Although the three children cannot speak, they can communicate with Hua Yan through their consciousness.

When Hua Yan was pregnant, she would spend her free time reading and practicing martial arts in Plum Blossom Valley. These children received the best prenatal education, so they were born as prodigies, even more powerful than their mother.

Hua Yan carefully examined the children's bodies but found no plum-shaped birthmarks, which disappointed her somewhat. Perhaps it was a generational inheritance, like her maternal grandmother's!

She also thought that if her child had a plum blossom birthmark, she could quit and live a carefree life with Taiji.

Unbeknownst to Hua Yan, due to her indestructible body, the inheritance of her plum blossom birthmark had mutated. Until she left this world, none of the plum blossom birthmark would appear, seemingly to avoid its presence.

So it's really hard to say whether these children have plum blossom-shaped birthmarks or not; even Qiu Bao can't tell.

2013

Yanxi Pharmaceuticals not only developed drugs to counter J country's biological weapons, but also developed antiviral drugs specifically for the characteristics of Chinese people.

That year, Mr. Wang, who was nearly 100 years old, passed away, ending his illustrious life. Before his death, he called Hua Yan to his side.

"Jiu'er, Grandpa Wang thanks you. If it weren't for you, I would have left this world long ago. You allowed me to stay in this world for several more decades and witness the prosperity we have today. I am content."

After saying this, Old Wang closed his eyes peacefully and left this world, which he had cared for all his life, without regret.

Hua Yan knew she was powerless to do anything. Although she had never stopped giving Old Master Wang his tonic pills, the human body, like the ebb and flow of the tides and the rising and setting of the sun, follows a natural rhythm that cannot be altered by human intervention. It is affected not only by the external environment but also by genetics. She had done her best to prolong Old Master Wang's life, but now the wick was gone, and adding more fuel wouldn't ignite the flame.

Although she knew in her heart, Hua Yan still couldn't hold back her tears; her respect for this old man was deeply ingrained. She silently recited a mantra for Old Man Wang's rebirth, wishing him a peaceful reincarnation.

Looking up through her tear-filled eyes, Hua Yan saw Old Wang's spirit smiling at her, gently comforting her:

“Jiu’er, I know that those anonymous letters were mailed by you, and I know that you have done a lot for the Chinese people. On behalf of the Chinese people, I thank you. Thank you for protecting this country and its people.”

After saying this, Old Wang's soul drifted away with a sigh of relief.

Master Tongliao passed away in Shengjing at the age of ninety. Before his death, he summoned Huayan and returned the jade mirror that Huayan's grandmother Yuxiao had given him years ago.

Over the years, Master Tongle has seen through the jade mirror the great things that Huayan has done that benefit the world and all living beings, and he is extremely gratified.

“Benefactor, this jade mirror originally belonged to you. I have kept it for so many years, it should be returned to its rightful owner.”

I know everything you've done; it hasn't been in vain that I've endured so many hardships in this life and the next to search for you.

Master Tong found his past life self in countless dreams and learned about Hua Yan from that past life. He also understood why he felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at Hua Yan, and why that reborn face appeared on Hua Yan's face.

“You have helped your grandmother complete her mission, and I believe she can enter the cycle of reincarnation in peace.”

“Benefactor, I am about to leave this world, and I hope to see you in the world of Buddha.”

Master Tong saw that Hua Yan possessed a Buddhist aura and celestial energy, and that if nothing unexpected happened, they would meet again.

“Master, I hope that I can be like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and save people from suffering, but I have not yet reached his level.”

"I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty," he vowed, forever saving others.

Hua Yan's devotion to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is unparalleled.

“Benefactor, your future achievements will be considerable.”

"I'm under so much pressure!"

Hua Yan didn't want things to turn out this way.

"Benefactor, take care. This old monk will take his leave now."

After saying this, Master Tong closed his eyes and said no more.

Hua Yan left silently, sensing the passing of life.

The end of life is beyond human control. Over the years, Hua Yan has been sending Tong tonics regularly, but nothing can stop the Buddha's call.

Before his death, Tong instructed the temple to divide his relics into three parts: one part to Huayan, one part to be left in the temple, and one part to be buried deep underground.

He had a karmic connection with Hua Yan across two lifetimes, and he predicted that he would meet Hua Yan again in the future, so he shared a portion of his relics with this destined person.

Hua Yan enshrined the purified relic in Plum Blossom Valley as a sign of respect.
