When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.

At dinner time, the whole family sat at the table to eat, and Xixi poured wine for Old Man Xiao, Xiao Beiguo and Su Xiaowan.

Luo Luo poured the drinks, and the three children stood up with their cups and said to Xiao Beiguo, "Dad, happy birthday. I wish you all the best and all your wishes come true."

Looking at the three children, Xiao Beiguo was very moved, "Thank you, babies. Daddy is very happy today."

Xiao Beiguo took a sip, and the children sat down.

Said to Old Man Xiao, "Dad, let's go together. Thank you for what you have done for Xiaowan and me over the years."

Although Old Man Xiao did not show much love and care for him when he was young, he had to admit that without Old Man Xiao raising him, he would not have been able to grow up.

Although Old Man Xiao is not very old, time has left obvious marks on his face.

He raised his glass and clinked it with Xiao Beiguo's, then took a sip. "Beiguo, you all have to be well. Dad is old now, and seeing your family happy and fulfilled, I have no regrets in this life."

Xixi had heard Old Man Xiao say these things many times since she was a child, so she quickly picked up a piece of stewed meat for him.

"Grandpa, have a piece of this braised meat. Isn't this your favorite dish made by my mother?"

Old man Xiao's attention was diverted instantly. He looked at Xixi with a loving smile on his wrinkled face.

"Okay, Grandpa, eat. Xixi should eat more too."

Su Xiaowan watched Old Man Xiao tremblingly pick up a piece for Xixi and said with a smile, "Dad, eat more."

"Okay, let's raise a toast together and celebrate Beiguo's birthday."

The whole family raised their glasses together and laughed and talked happily. The dinner lasted a long time before it ended.

At eight o'clock, Su Xiaowan took out the homemade cake from the refrigerator and said a little embarrassedly, "I made this myself. It's my first time, so it doesn't look very good."

Xiao Beiguo looked at the lifelike dragon on the cake, and with a look of joy, he pulled Su Xiaowan and said, "Xiaowan, you did a great job, I like it very much."

"Mom, not only are you a good cook, but you're also a great pastry chef. You can go make pastries from now on."

"Then keep working hard and make every cake you make better than the last one."

Su Xiaowan's confidence increased greatly and she was very happy.

"Dad, let me light the candles for you. Just ten, so it's perfect."

Lolo couldn't wait any longer, and she and Chenchen lit the candles.

Looking at several children surrounding Xiao Beiguo, Su Xiaowan was deeply moved.

Especially when she saw Lolo, it reminded her of her previous life, when Lolo was very timid.

But now, she is very cheerful and confident and loves to laugh, which is completely different from her timid and inferior appearance in her previous life.

Su Xiaowan was very grateful that she could live again, changing the tragic fate of her previous life and saving Xiao Beiguo and her two children.

The candles were lit and the flames flickered faintly. Amid the cheers of his three children, Xiao Beiguo made a wish at the age of 37.

Su Xiaowan looked at him through the candlelight and recalled that in his previous life, something happened to him two days before his birthday.

At that time, he had just returned to the company from a long business trip to handle some matters, but she wanted to divorce him because he did not come back to see her immediately after being away for so long.

Because of this, Xiao Beiguo lived directly in the company. When she received the news of his sudden death, he was lying on the floor of the office.

Su Xiaowan still remembers that scene clearly. She was greatly traumatized by Xiao Beiguo's sudden death.

After his funeral, he suddenly fainted and was diagnosed with cancer.

It was only after that that Su Xiaowan realized how wrong she was and she felt regretful and blamed herself.

She was even unwilling to cooperate with the treatment, but Zhiwei still forcibly sent her to the hospital and arranged for someone to look after her.

Later, Xixi and Luoluo came to see her. She had just fallen ill and was curled up in pain on the hospital bed.

I thought they came to visit her, but I never expected that Xixi expressed her hatred for her.

At that moment, Su Xiaowan completely gave up hope of living, and died alone in the hospital not long after, without leaving any words.

"Xiao Wan, what are you thinking about?"

Xiao Beiguo gently pulled her hand, looked at her smiling face, his eyes full of her.

"Nothing, I just feel like time has passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, you are already thirty-seven and your children are this big now."

"That's not it. I don't even dare to think about the fact that we've been together for more than ten years."

Xiao Beiguo felt that time passed very quickly. It felt like more than ten years had passed in the blink of an eye.

"Mom and Dad, tomorrow is the weekend, you guys go out and relax, we'll stay at home to take care of grandpa."

Chenchen was the first to speak. Seeing how loving his parents were, he hoped that they could have some time of their own without having to be around them all the time.

"Then Grandpa will leave it to you. Dad will take Mom out for a two-day trip tomorrow and will be back on Sunday afternoon."

Su Xiaowan looked at Xiao Beiguo and said with some concern, "We'll be gone for two days."

"Mom, just go and have fun. I can take good care of my brothers and sisters and grandpa. I can also cook and won't let them go hungry."

Xixi also hopes that her parents can have more time for themselves instead of always revolving around them.

"Okay, call us if you have any problem." Su Xiaowan still reminded him worriedly.

"Mom, we know. Don't worry. Just go out and have fun for two days. Don't worry about what's happening at home."

Xiao Beiguo handed a portion of the cut cake to Old Man Xiao and cut another portion for Su Xiaowan.

He smiled and said, "Xiao Wan, the children are all grown up, they also need to learn to be independent, we can't accompany them forever."

"I know, but I'm a little worried. I always feel like they haven't grown up yet."

"Mom, in your heart, we will always be children. You need to let go little by little, just like you did in the workplace. This way you won't be so tired."

Xixi could understand Su Xiaowan's behavior very well. She loved them so deeply and sacrificed a lot for them.

Now that they have grown up, she hopes that Su Xiaowan can do what she wants and live the life she wants.

"Thank you, baby. Mommy will. We will eat birthday cake with Daddy."

Su Xiaowan was so moved that her eyes were red. The hard work over the past decade brought her current happiness. Her original choice was the right one.

After eating the cake, the family sat on the sofa. Several children surrounded Xiao Beiguo and listened to him talk about interesting things that happened at school.

Su Xiaowan washed some fruits and sat beside Old Man Xiao to watch them.

The few of them played until around nine o'clock, then went back to their rooms to take a shower and sleep.

After Su Xiaowan finished her shower, she lay down. Xiao Beiguo also finished his shower and got on bed. Looking at Su Xiaowan who was still flipping through a book, he took the book and put it on the bedside table.

"You've been busy all day, aren't you tired?"

Xiao Beiguo held her in his arms, smelled her scent, and took a breath of satisfaction.

"Xiao Wan, time flies by so fast. In another three years, I will be forty, and really reach middle age."

Su Xiaowan pinched his face and smiled, "You will be old by then."

"Really?" Xiao Beiguo was a little skeptical.

"Don't they say that forty is middle-aged? Although you look the same as before, you are just a little more mature than before, but when you reach your age, you have to accept your age."

Xiao Beiguo was skeptical at first, but at this moment he was completely unconvinced. He kissed Su Xiaowan and said with a sly smile, "Then I'm going to try and see if I'm old."

Seeing his expression, Su Xiaowan pounded his chest unhappily and said, "That's not what I meant."

"You didn't mean that, but you said I was old, so I have to prove it to you, to let you know that I am the same as before."

In the end, Su Xiaowan was completely conquered by him and was too tired to move.

The next day, the two went to a nearby hot spring spot. They hadn't gone out together for a long time, and Su Xiaowan was very happy.

Xiao Beiguo held her hand tightly, recalling the scenes when they went out together before, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Xiao Wan, do you remember when we came to this place together?"

"Remember, we were only in our twenties at that time, and now ten years have passed."

Su Xiaowan looked at this place which had not changed much, and she still came here with Xiao Beiguo.

It’s nice that nothing has changed.

"Yes, in the next ten years, we will come here together again. In every ten years after that, I will come here hand in hand with you."

He wanted to walk the same path they had walked before with Su Xiaowan over and over again in this life, hand in hand, throughout their lives.

Su Xiaowan leaned on his shoulder, and at this moment, she felt extremely at ease.

She finally kept Xiao Beiguo, and in this life, they can hold hands until the end of their lives.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye another ten years have passed. Xixi is already twenty-six years old.

She has obtained a double bachelor's degree in economics and management, and has taken over the company, managing it together with several younger brothers and sisters.

Su Xiaowan is already in her forties, but she still looks as young and beautiful as she was in her thirties, with a more mature charm.

That day, Ji Yuelan made an appointment with Su Xiaowan to have afternoon tea. The two women in their forties drove to a famous local club.

When they got to the store, Ji Yuelan pulled Su Xiaowan aside and told her what she had done these days, "Xiaowan, you don't know what's wrong with Nancheng recently. He's been clinging to me like a child every day. It's so annoying. He even keeps asking about my going out."

Su Xiaowan just smiled, took a sip of coffee, and her every move showed elegance and nobility.

"Brother Nancheng cares about you. Don't you realize that you are getting more and more beautiful now?"

I have to say, if a woman has money and time, and doesn't have to take care of children or work, she can really be very beautiful.

"I don't know what I liked about him in the first place. We've been married for more than 20 years and have a child. How can I leave with another man?"

Ji Yuelan just kept complaining. She really couldn't stand Song Nancheng sticking to her all day long, leaving her no space of her own.

"So what do you want to do? How about I ask Beiguo to ask him out more often?"

Su Xiaowan was also a little helpless. Xiao Beiguo usually stuck to her, but if she went out, he would hide at home and read.

She didn't think anything of it, but instead felt that he trusted her quite a bit.
