Shu Yulu will turn eighteen tomorrow, which happens to be Saturday. As she is in her final year of high school, her teacher has given her special permission to go home.

Many years have passed, and Shu Xiangyu and Xi Molin have moved to a house in the suburbs of Haishi. It has a garden in front, a yard inside, and plenty of rooms, enough for the whole family to stay in. The air is also very fresh.

As for the house in the prestigious family, it was left to Mu Mu, so that she could live wherever she wanted as she grew up.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Xi Molin drove to the school gate to pick her up. On the way, they went to a nearby shopping mall and let Mu Mu choose the birthday gift she wanted.

What Shu Yulu really looked forward to was learning about the love story between her two mothers. She had tried to persuade her uncle to tell her, but he refused, insisting that she had to wait until she was an adult.

She wandered around the mall for a long time, but didn't really want anything. She didn't need anything, so in the end she chose three identical tops, just in different sizes.

She wanted to wear the same clothes as the mothers and take photos together, not at all afraid that others might find out about their relationship.

Schimerling always respected her wishes; if she liked something, he would buy it for her.

As they set off for home again, Shu Yulu looked through her phone and asked, "Momo's mom, will you and Mom tell me about your relationship tomorrow?"

"You really want to know?"

Since returning home after leaving the military, she has gradually grown her hair long, naturally tying it into a bun. Her features appear more defined, and time seems to have left almost no trace on her face. Her eyes are clear and gentle, showing a significant change compared to the past.

"Of course, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Okay, we'll tell you after your birthday tomorrow."

His calm and steady voice was pleasant to hear.

Back at their home, which was arranged in a traditional courtyard style, everything was decorated in a festive and warm atmosphere. Shu Yunrong and Yang Yufen had also arrived, while Shu Xiangjun, Xia Jing, and their daughter Shu Qinghan would be able to come tomorrow.

As soon as Shu Yulu returned, she found Shu Xiangyu, hugged her, and said sweetly, "Mom, I missed you so much..."

Some time ago, a drama approached her for a special appearance after she had been away from the screen for a long time. Since it was a drama by an old friend, Shu Xiangyu did not refuse after consideration. Xi Molin even accompanied her to the set.

Upon seeing her daughter, she smiled gently, her eyes tender, and hugged her back, saying, "You've been under a lot of pressure studying lately, but Teacher Lin told me that you've been doing well in all aspects. What do you want for your birthday this year?"

"I just want to know about your past with Momo's mother..."

Okay, we'll let you know.

The years have brought very little change to Shu Xiangyu. Without much trouble or pressure, and always being quietly loved and cared for, her appearance has become increasingly beautiful and refined, making her many times more beautiful than today's celebrities.

Schimerling had already put on an apron and gone into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

She went to the market today to buy Mu Mu's favorite foods, as a reward for her hard work in studying.

Shu Yunrong and Yang Yufen helped each other back after their walk, and the food was just being set on the table...

The following day at noon, relatives and friends who were invited to the birthday banquet arrived one after another. All the food had been pre-ordered from the Chinese restaurant and was simply plated and served.

Everyone sat around two tables and raised their glasses to wish Mu Mu a happy birthday, which she happily accepted.

Shu Xiangyu and Xi Molin sat side by side, occasionally serving each other food. Their eyes met, and they both sighed at how fast time had passed. Mu Mu had grown up, and they had all grown old.

However, their happy life made them forget many of their troubles. Although they bickered occasionally, they never had any thoughts of separating.

Especially after Xi Molin returned home after his military service, he was practically inseparable from Shu Xiangyu every day, unwilling to be apart from her even for a single day.

Shu Yulu sometimes couldn't bear to look at their marriage of more than ten years, which was still as sweet as ever.

After the birthday banquet ended and relatives and friends left, the Shu family sat leisurely in the courtyard in the pleasant afternoon sun, drinking tea and chatting.

Having been repeatedly forbidden to tell Mu Mu what had happened, Shu Xiangjun was finally given permission and began to recount the stories of her two mothers' childhoods...

Shu Yulu listened very attentively.

Meanwhile, Shu Xiangyu, nestled on Momo's shoulder, was lost in distant memories...

Before she came to her house, she had already imagined many ways to treat her well, perhaps out of pity and heartache for her plight.

But when I actually saw her appear weak and helpless, my pity for her became even stronger.

At that time, she secretly vowed in her heart that she would always protect and love her as she grew up.

As they spent more time together, she grew to like the simple and naive Momo more and more, and was also afraid that she would be deceived and bullied by others. Fortunately, her father had the foresight to have her practice Taekwondo in advance so that she could protect herself.

Unexpectedly, she was a complete novice with no ability to defend herself, yet she dared to duel with someone.

When she learned that she hadn't come home on time that day, she felt panicked for the first time. The unpredictable consequences made her blame herself for neglecting her unusual behavior.

The search was long and agonizing. She was terrified that something terrible might have happened to her—what if she fell into the water, what if she encountered a bad person, what if she was hit by a car…

She had considered almost every worst-case scenario.

But after searching the surrounding area, there was still no sign of her.

Just when she was completely clueless, she learned that Momo had been admitted to the hospital emergency room. She panicked instantly, and the worst had happened.

Without thinking too much about what had happened, she rushed over, and when she saw her, her anxious heart was finally shattered.

In just a short time, she was already covered in wounds.

She was heartbroken, not knowing what misfortune had befallen her, and felt even more guilty seeing the little girl unconscious.

After learning the whole story, she realized that she was not as vulnerable as she had thought, despite her seemingly weak appearance.

Her strong will and potential became even more dazzling after this battle; they had all underestimated her.

While accompanying her at home to recover from her injury, she began to use other methods to help her recognize her own strengths, instead of constantly feeling inferior and fearful.

Although they are five years apart, there is not much of a generation gap. She also found that Momo was becoming more and more dependent on her, and only when she was behind her did she feel safe.

As his injuries gradually healed, the day of parting arrived.

Although she was reluctant to part ways, she had no choice but to face the separation. She believed that Momo would still live a good life without her in the future.

What she didn't expect was that Momo's dependence on her was far deeper than she had imagined.

She could only soothe her low spirits with gentle words and promise her that she would contact her online every day from now on and share their lives.

Although I was also very reluctant to part with her, my studies were not yet finished, and everyone has their own mission.

When she actually entered university life, from the initial anticipation to being gradually slapped in the face by reality, and then to being tempted by various benefits, she never compromised.
