That night, the emotions between Gu Yan and He Li burned like a raging fire. They blended with each other, their bodies and minds became one, and they completely became the two closest people in the world.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains onto the bed, and Gu Yan slowly woke up.

She blinked, feeling the warm embrace beside her, and a surge of relief welled up in her heart - she didn't leave this body.

She turned her head slightly, her gaze fixed on He Li, who was holding her tightly in his arms. He Li's eyes were closed, his sleeping face peaceful and charming. Gu Yan couldn't help but move closer and gently kissed him on the lips.

"Hmm...you little greedy cat, you can't wait to steal food so early in the morning."

He Li didn't seem to be fully awake, but he still accurately caught Gu Yan who wanted to shrink back into the quilt, then exerted force with his arms, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her deeply again.

Ever since the two of them became husband and wife, He Li has been unable to let go of Gu Yan and wishes he could be with her every moment.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been a month since their wedding.

They had originally planned to go on a romantic honeymoon trip, but at this moment, an unexpected surprise came - Gu Yan found out that she was pregnant!

Faced with this sudden new life, the two new parents seemed a little flustered.

"I thought I heard a child's voice."

One day, He Li carefully hugged Gu Yan's still flat belly, put his ear close to it, and listened attentively. This action made Gu Yan laugh. She poked He Li's head and said, "You are such a fool. The baby is just a tiny embryo now, how can it possibly make any sound?"

Even after saying this, He Li was still very stubborn, clinging tightly to Gu Yan's slightly bulging belly, and refused to let go.

Just because the fruit of their love was growing in her belly, the little life that was about to be born, their honeymoon trip, which they had been looking forward to for a long time and carefully planned, had to be put aside for the time being.

Time passed quietly, and as the pregnancy progressed, when Gu Yan had successfully been pregnant for a full three months, the morning sickness symptoms that had once tortured her and made her miserable finally began to slowly ease and improve.

On this day, Gu Yan, who had never had much interest in food, suddenly felt the urge to eat dessert. Upon hearing this, He Li immediately got up and got in the car, rushing out to buy some.

Not long after, He Li returned home carrying a small, exquisite cake. However, the moment he stepped into the house, he was stunned by the sight before him—Gu Yan was lying quietly on the sofa in the living room, already sound asleep.

At this moment, the dim and soft afterglow of the setting sun outside the window just happened to shine through the window onto Gu Yan's body, as if she was covered with a layer of light golden halo, gently wrapping her whole body in it.

Looking at the peaceful and beautiful Gu Yan, He Li couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment. At this moment, he suddenly felt that what he saw was not Gu Yan, but the extremely familiar face deep in his memory - Gu Yan.

Although He Li knew very well that Gu Yan and Gu Yan were actually two different personalities of the same person, at the same time, he was also very aware that although these two personalities shared the same body, they actually had two completely opposite souls.

Just as He Li carefully stretched out his arms, preparing to gently pick up the sleeping Gu Yan and take her back to the room to have a good rest, he didn't expect that his subtle movement would accidentally wake her up.

When Gu Yan slowly opened her eyes and woke up from her sleep, the first person that caught her eye was He Li, who was standing nearby with a look of concern on his face.

While He Li went out to buy Gu Yan's favorite cake, she was left alone in the house and fell asleep unknowingly.

In that bizarre dream, Gu Yan saw another personality that had been hidden deep in her heart - Gu Yan.

Gu Yan smiled, his eyes gentle as water, and whispered to her, "Thank you, Gu Yan. It's thanks to you that I was able to meet and get to know He Li. I feel so happy to have him by my side."

After saying this, Gu Yan seemed to want to turn around and leave.

However, at this moment, Gu Yan took a step forward without hesitation, tightly grasped the corner of Gu Yan's clothes, and said in a firm tone: "No! Gu Yan, you are wrong. You are me, and I am you. We are inseparable. How could we leave each other so easily?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yan suddenly woke up from his sleep.

At this moment, she felt as if her mind was suddenly filled with many unfamiliar fragments of memory, leaving her somewhat bewildered. At the same time, she clearly felt a sense of relief.

Those parts of herself that she had once regretted not being able to save in time had finally broken free from the shackles of the dark abyss. Indeed, at this moment, she and Gu Yan had become one, inseparable.

"He Li, it's me, Gu Yan." Suddenly, without any warning, Gu Yan returned to He Li's side. In Gu Yan's past life, the last time she saw He Li was on that huge ship.

"It's really you, my Ah Yan, you're finally back!" He Li couldn't help but feel happy, his voice trembling slightly with excitement. However, amidst his joy, a thought suddenly flashed through He Li's mind, and he couldn't help but ask: "So, what about Ah Yan? Did she leave?"

Although the person he deeply loved was still the one in front of him, after asking this question, He Li inexplicably had a strange feeling as if he had betrayed Gu Yan.

Hearing He Li's question, Gu Yan was not angry or disappointed, but instead showed a gentle smile.

"I am both Gu Yan and Gu Yan. Gu Yan should not exist in the world merely as a painful avatar. We are both the true masters of this body." Gu Yan's words were as gentle as the spring breeze, yet they carried a firm strength.

If it were in the past, He Li might have blamed the heavens for being too cruel and merciless to him. But at this moment, facing Gu Yan, who had been lost and found again and was so affectionate, he felt that he was the luckiest person in the world, fortunate enough to receive Gu Yan's wholehearted love.

Both seemed a little overwhelmed by this reunion after a long separation. In the end, they just hugged each other tightly and quietly, as if time had stopped.

In that embrace, there was both a longing for the past and a reluctance to part again. After all, the days they had been apart were too long, and the true feelings that had been missed were like pearls scattered in the long river of time, difficult to retrieve.

"Ayan, you know what? I'm very happy to have met you in my short life. Because of you, I now know what happiness is."

He Li's voice trembled slightly, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes due to excitement.

He and Gu Yan experienced countless life and death tests together, and each time was like teetering on the edge of a cliff.

If God had been a little more cruel, the outcome they would be facing now would probably be a heartbreaking tragedy.

Gu Yan never thought that He Li, who had always been as strong as iron, would be so afraid of losing.

She nodded gently, responding to the affection in his eyes with a gentle look.

Then, she slowly raised her head and gently kissed He Li's forehead, feeling the familiar warmth; then, her lips slid down his brow bone, as soft as a feather; then moved to his eyes, as if she wanted to see the deepest emotions in his heart through those deep eyes; then slid to his straight nose bridge, and finally stopped on his soft lips.

He Li felt Gu Yan's initiative and was excited. He laid Gu Yan down on the large sofa, but his hands were very gentle, carefully holding her slender waist, afraid of hurting her.

However, as the distance between their bodies shortened, their kiss became more passionate, from the initial brief kiss to a lingering and passionate one.

"Child, be careful!" He Li stopped his thoughts in time. Gu Yan just snuggled in He Li's arms with a blushing face.

He and the person in his arms stood quietly together, each of them clearly feeling the unique aura emanating from the other. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the crucial moment of Gu Yan's birth.

Ever since Gu Yan was wheeled into the delivery room, He Li, who was waiting outside, had been feeling anxious and restless. It was at this moment that he truly realized how difficult and arduous it was for a woman to give birth.

Fortunately, Gu Yan has been practicing martial arts for many years and his physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, after less than two hours of nervous waiting, accompanied by clear and loud cries, a pair of lovely twins, a boy and a girl, finally came successfully into this world full of love and hope.

When the nurse gently placed the two newly born, still very tender little ones beside Gu Yan, she stared at the two tiny faces in front of her, her heart filled with curiosity and surprise: Why do these two little babies look so wrinkled? However, this confusion was soon replaced by the joy of becoming a new mother.

After Gu Yan was discharged from the hospital and returned home safely, He Li put down all his work without hesitation and took on the responsibility of taking care of his wife and children wholeheartedly, transforming himself into a responsible full-time father.

The company affairs that he had been responsible for were now handed over to his younger brother He Zhao. From then on, He Li was able to live a leisurely life like a "hands-off boss".

When night falls and everything is quiet, the two lovely children finally fall into a sweet dream in their warm bed. Their even and gentle breathing sounds seem like the most beautiful melody in the night sky.

At this time, He Li gently closed the door of the children's bedroom, turned around and walked back to the warm room that belonged to him and Gu Yan with light steps.

As soon as he entered the room, He Li couldn't wait to open his arms and hug Gu Yan, who was sitting on the bed. His eyes were full of tenderness and love, like the warm spring sun shining on her pretty face.

Then, he carefully picked up a piece of fresh and juicy fruit, moved close to Gu Yan's slightly pouting lips, and said affectionately: "Wife, come, open your mouth and taste this piece of fruit, it's so sweet!"

Gu Yan was a little shy because of his sudden action, and her cheeks instantly flushed as brightly as the sunset.

However, faced with such affectionate care from her lover, she obediently opened her mouth and gently bit the piece of fruit.

At this moment, He Li suddenly whispered, "Wife, we're going to embark on a romantic honeymoon tomorrow. Tonight... am I honored to stay with you?"

Hearing this, Gu Yan's heart trembled violently, and she almost bit her tongue. She stared at He Li, who was looking expectantly in front of her, with her eyes wide open, and her ears were flushed with shyness.

After a moment's silence, she lowered her head slightly and replied in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Well... okay." Although it was just a simple word, it contained endless tenderness and sweetness.

If we say that before this, the two people's life paths were full of thorns and setbacks, and those ups and downs had left them bruised and exhausted; then from this moment on, all the suffering has become a thing of the past, and what awaits them will be a happy and sweet future.

Just like the stars twinkling in the night sky at this moment, although they have experienced darkness, they always emit bright light, illuminating each other's direction.
