A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!

With that lock of hair and the added blessing of the jade, Shen Guishi seemed to occasionally appear in the dead of night.

Some people even saw from afar that at midnight, Shi Yannan, Shen Guishi, Qin Zhixi, and Zhan Chenhan were actually playing mahjong at the end of the alley, with laughter constantly coming from behind them.

They seemed quite pleased, but they remained guarding the time tunnel, preventing anyone from using time and space again to disrupt the situation.

Zhan Jinglin and Shi Yanxia stood not far away, neither approaching nor getting closer.

"General Zhan." Gu Qing stepped forward at this moment.

He handed over a document, his eyes darting towards Shi Yanxia before he whispered, "The Shi family has been wiped out. More than a hundred elders died mysteriously last night."

“All those who targeted Shen Gui back then, and even those who secretly wanted to kill my sister-in-law, all died last night,” Gu Qing said.

Needless to say, all of this seems to be Shi Yannan's doing.

He always acted decisively, and in this way he protected Shi Yanxia and the only bloodline Shen Guishi left him.

As for her master and Shen Lianchu's forces, they were all dismantled. All of them were poisoned. They were ruthless and gave no chance for these people to live. As a result, after their deaths, all of them died suddenly.

“Father,” Shi Yanxia called softly.

At the end of the alley, Shi Yannan, who was playing chess, seemed to hear her voice. He slowly turned around, met Shi Yanxia's gaze, and waved to her, signaling her to go back.

Shi Yanxia's eyes were red and swollen, and she choked up a little.

“Let’s go back,” Zhan Jinglin said.

Protected by him, Shi Yanxia turned and walked towards the luxury car. Shi Yannan left the Shi family to her, including the Shen family business left by Shen Guishi, and he had taken care of everything.

It seems like nothing was done, but everything was done.

"They'll always be there, won't they?" Shi Yanxia asked softly.

Zhan Jinglin, driving, freed one hand to hold hers tightly, and said, "Yes, I will always be here, immortal and indestructible."

"That's good," Shi Yanxia said.

The man drove to apartment 111 in Washington, D.C. The door opened, and nothing inside had been moved, but a photo had appeared in the living room. It showed a young Shi Yannan embracing Shen Guishi in front of the camera, with Shen Guishi's hand touching her abdomen.

The words "Shi Yan Xia" are written in red ink on it.

The photo shows Shi Yannan and Shen Guishi together, while Shi Yanxia is inside her belly.

“Father came back,” Shi Yanxia said.

“He also combined the two villas,” Zhan Jinglin said.

At this moment, the bodyguard behind him appeared. He was the one who had been following Shi Yannan, but now he was with Shi Yanxia.

“Miss, the young master has prepared your dowry,” the bodyguard said.

Shi Yanxia lifted her foot and walked forward. She saw that the ground was covered with a red carpet. With each step she took, it was as if snowflakes were falling continuously, and the snowflakes that fell into the air turned into flower petals.

The fragrance of flowers filled the air, and every step she took seemed to carry her parents' blessings.

Even though her parents were never by her side, she felt that they were right beside her. She couldn't see or touch them, but they were whispering in her ear, "Don't be afraid, Yan Yan, your father and mother are always here."

"Your father and mother will watch you live happily ever after. Be brave, keep moving forward, and don't look back."

The voice was very soft, as if only she could hear it.

Tears streamed down her face. Shi Yanxia stepped forward and saw that inside the entire villa were boxes filled with limited-edition items.

"This is the ten-mile-long dowry my father gave me," Shi Yanxia said softly.

The entire villa was filled with the blessings her father left for her.

"Don't cry, I'll see you off when you get married." Li Qinghong appeared behind her without her noticing, gently supporting her and wiping away her tears.

Seeing her cry made Li Qinghong very sad.

She had been in despair for so many years after seeing Shen Guishi die. Now that Shen Guishi is gone, thankfully she has Shi Yanxia left her. At least she can still watch Shi Yanxia continue to be happy.

"Aunt Li." Shi Yanxia saw her, turned around and hugged her.

Li Qinghong didn't say anything, but simply hugged her gently.

Over the years, she had been forcing herself to endure it. The old master had placed a curse on her, so no matter what she said or did, the other party would know immediately.

She wanted to force her to hand over Shen Guishi's things in this way, which is why she came up with the idea of ​​destroying the photos to attract Shi Yanxia's attention, or even earlier.

She did a lot of things, even secretly contacting Shi Yannan and joining forces with Zhan Jinglin.

"Good girl." Li Qinghong hugged her tenderly.

Not far away, Zhan Jinglin stood there, silently guarding her. Watching her fall into Li Qinghong's arms, his heart ached terribly.

"You should treat her better from now on," the old man said.

Zhan Jinglin nodded slightly, his voice a little hoarse, and said, "Grandpa, I will."

Shi Yanxia seemed to hear what he said. She slowly raised her head and looked at him. When Zhan Jinglin saw this, he walked towards her. Li Qinghong turned around and pushed Shi Yanxia into his arms.

The man held her tightly, openly embracing her.

Everyone had left, leaving only her and him in the huge villa, where time seemed to stand still.

"Thank you for waiting for me, thank you for appearing in my life, thank you for giving me the chance to love you for ten lifetimes. In every life to come, I want to be with you."

"Shi Yanxia, ​​I love you." Zhan Jinglin cupped her face and looked at her affectionately as he spoke.

It was as if, after he said those words, the two figures that had been lingering on the Bridge of Helplessness disappeared with a smile.

Those who remain are no longer those who linger, reluctant to leave, but those who are truly living in reality. Their happiness has only just begun today.

The sun rose in the east, and it was dawn.

Their happiness has finally come into the light, and they are about to start anew...
