They plan to travel around Europe for a month first, and then go to South America and Africa to make up for the trips they missed due to work and children.

On the day of departure, the two dressed in casual clothes and carried travel bags, looking like a young couple who had just started dating, full of excitement and anticipation.

"Finally, I can play freely!"

Wang Qingyue stretched, a happy smile on her face.

Chen Ming took her hand.

"Yes, from now on, we can do whatever we want."

Their first stop was Paris, France.

Under the Eiffel Tower, Chen Ming held Wang Qingyue tightly, and the two shared a passionate kiss in a romantic atmosphere.

Over the next few days, they visited famous landmarks such as the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Champs-Élysées, enjoyed authentic French cuisine, and experienced the romance and fashion of Paris.

In Venice, Italy, they rode gondolas along the winding waterways, where the ancient buildings and bridges on both banks were reflected in the water, creating a dreamlike scene.

"I wish time could stand still at this moment."

Wang Qingyue nestled in Chen Ming's arms and whispered.

Chen Ming hugged her tightly. "Yes, we will. We will travel every year and visit every corner of the world."

During the National Day holiday, Chen Chen and Chen Xi took their respective partners home to visit their parents.

Chen Chen's girlfriend is named Lin Wan. She has long, flowing hair, wears thin-rimmed glasses, speaks softly, and has a faint scholarly air about her.

"Hello, uncle and aunt!"

As soon as Lin Wan entered, she greeted everyone sweetly and handed over a gift, saying, "It's just a small token of my appreciation."

Wang Qingyue accepted the gift, beaming from ear to ear.

"You've come all this way, why bring any gifts? You're too kind."

"Of course, Auntie."

As Lin Wan spoke, her gaze fell on the table.

"Let me help set the table."

"No need, no need, sit down and rest for a while," Wang Qingyue quickly stopped her.

"It's alright, Auntie, I'll help you."

Lin Wan insisted on helping, her movements light and skillful.

Chen Chen looked at Lin Wan, his eyes filled with a gentle smile. Throughout the meal, Lin Wan frequently served Chen Chen food.

"Try this, Auntie's sweet and sour pork ribs are especially delicious."

Chen Chen nodded, picked up a rib, and took a bite.

"Yes, it's really delicious." He turned to Lin Wan and smiled. "You should have some too."

The sweet and natural interactions between the two made Chen Ming and Wang Qingyue very happy.

Chen Xi's boyfriend, Gao Yu, the captain of the basketball team, is a sunny and cheerful young man.

"Hello, uncle and aunt!"

As soon as Gao Yu entered, he greeted her warmly and handed her the gift, saying, "This is just a small token of my appreciation."

"You're here, why bring anything?"

Chen Ming accepted the gift and laughed heartily.

"Of course, Uncle."

Gao Yu smiled and scratched his head. "Hello, Auntie!"

Wang Qingyue replied with a smile, "Hey, young man, you look so energetic! Please have a seat."

"Hey!"

Gao Yu responded and his gaze fell on Chen Ming.

"Uncle, judging from your physique, you must have exercised a lot in the past, right?"

Chen Ming laughed heartily: "I used to love playing basketball when I was young, but now I'm old and useless."

"Uncle, you're too modest,"

Gao Yu quickly replied, "I'm on the school basketball team, and I'd love to learn a few tricks from you sometime!"

"Sure, let's have a friendly match sometime."

Chen Ming smiled and patted Gao Yu on the shoulder.

During the meal, Gao Yu kept putting food on Chen Xi's plate.

"Xixi, try this. Auntie's sweet and sour pork ribs are amazing!"

Chen Xi gave him a reproachful look: "I can do it myself."

"It's okay, I'll help you."

Gao Yu chuckled, then turned to Wang Qingyue and said...

"Auntie, your cooking is so delicious! It's much better than what we eat in our school cafeteria!"

Wang Qingyue burst into laughter at his words: "Eat more if you like it, don't be shy!"

"Then I'm welcome!"

As Gao Yu spoke, he picked up another piece of pork rib and put it in his mouth.

"Mmm! It smells delicious!"

After dinner, the two families sat in the living room chatting.

Lin Wan sat quietly beside Chen Chen, flipping through a thick hardcover book. Occasionally, she would look up and exchange a few words with everyone. Her gentle temperament was like a spring breeze.

Gao Yu chatted with Chen Ming about basketball, from NBA stars to the CUBA league, talking non-stop and occasionally imitating a few shooting motions, making everyone laugh.

Chen Ming looked at the two young men in front of him and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Lin Wan is well-educated, gentle, and considerate; she is clearly a good girl who can manage a household well.

Although Gao Yu is a bit lively, he is sincere and genuinely loves Chen Xi.

The children have all found their own happiness. As parents, what could be more gratifying than that?

"Uncle, Aunt, Chen Chen and I plan to get married next year," Lin Wan suddenly put down her book and said softly.

This unexpected good news stunned Chen Ming and Wang Qingyue for a moment, and then both of them showed joyful smiles.

"Really? That's great!"

Wang Qingyue excitedly grasped Lin Wan's hand, "Our Chenchen is finally getting married!"

Chen Chen also took Lin Wan's hand and gazed at her tenderly.

"We will be happy."

"Xi Xi, what about you two? What are your plans?" Chen Ming turned to look at Chen Xi and Gao Yu.

Chen Xi blushed and gave Gao Yu a coquettish look, "We...we haven't decided yet."

Gao Yu quickly said, "Uncle and Aunt, Xi Xi and I have discussed it, and we'll get married once our jobs are stable!"

Chen Ming and Wang Qingyue exchanged a glance, both seeing joy and satisfaction in each other's eyes. With both children settled, their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, could finally be put at ease.

"By the way, Uncle and Aunt, we'd like to buy a house in the city."

Chen Chen said, "This way it's closer to our workplace."

Chen Ming nodded, "Of course, you're all busy with work these days, so it's more convenient to live closer to each other."

"You don't need to worry about the down payment. We've saved some money ourselves, and your mom and I will help you with the rest."

Wang Qingyue added.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Chen Chen and Lin Wan said in unison.

"Let's buy one too!"

Gao Yu said excitedly, turning to Chen Xi, "Xi Xi, which neighborhood do you want to live in?"

Before Chen Xi could answer, Gao Yu's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, his expression changed slightly, and he walked aside to answer the phone.

"Hello...Mom...What?...How could this happen?...Okay...I understand..."

Gao Yu hung up the phone, his expression turning somewhat grim.

Seeing this, Chen Xi quickly went over and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Gao Yu took a deep breath, "My dad... he was in a car accident..."

This sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly freezing the previously joyful atmosphere.

Chen Xi's face was deathly pale as she gripped Gao Yu's hand tightly. "Is it serious? How is he now?"
