Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

The moment Lin Jiaojiao and Du Yue were taken away by the police, I clearly saw a flash of resentment in Du Yue's eyes, like a poisoned needle piercing my heart. This feeling lingered, like a boulder weighing on my heart, making it impossible for me to feel at ease.

Fortunately, Gu Yichen stayed by my side the whole time.

He seemed to sense my unease and always tried different ways to cheer me up.

Thanks to his efforts, the Gu Group gradually got back on track and even grew stronger than before.

As I witnessed all of this, the lingering gloom gradually dissipated.

"Mom, look at my drawing!"

The child's cheerful voice interrupted my thoughts. He was holding up a brightly colored picture of our family of three, with a crooked little dog next to us.

"This is Dad, this is you, this is me, and this is Xiaobai!"

I took the drawing, smiled, and kissed him on the cheek: "Our adorable kid is so great, he drew so well!"

"Of course! Don't you know whose son he is!"

Gu Yichen walked over, picked up the adorable child, and kissed him on the cheek. "Come on, Daddy will take you to play games!"

Watching the father and son playing and frolicking, a happy smile couldn't help but appear on my lips.

Yes, I have a loving husband and an adorable son now, what more could I ask for?

"Mr. Fu, this is the financial statement for the next quarter. Please take a look."

My assistant's voice brought me back to reality.

I took the report and began to carefully review it.

Thanks to the joint efforts of Gu Yichen and me, the Gu Group has recovered its vitality and even reached new heights.

Looking at those impressive numbers, I felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"By the way, how's Lu Mingxuan doing lately?" I put down the report and thought of the man who had always silently protected me.

The assistant said with a smile, "Mr. Lu and his girlfriend have been getting along very well lately, and I heard that good news is on the way."

"Really? That's wonderful!"

I am genuinely happy for Lu Mingxuan; he has finally found his own happiness.

After hanging up the phone, I stretched and turned to Gu Yichen, saying, "Mingxuan is getting married, we need to prepare a nice gift."

Gu Yichen put down the documents in his hand and said with a smile, "Of course, he is your friend of many years and has watched us grow up. We can't be careless about his wedding."

"Yes, time flies. In the blink of an eye, we're all parents now, and even Mingxuan is getting married," I sighed, feeling a mix of emotions.

"What, you can't bear to part with him?" Gu Yichen teased, reaching out to flick my nose.

"Screw you, I was just lamenting how fast time flies."

I slapped his hand away and rolled my eyes at him.

"Okay, stop thinking about it. Didn't we agree to take the little one on a trip? Where do you want to go? Hawaii? Paris? Or the Maldives?"

As Gu Yichen spoke, he took out a stack of documents from the drawer.

"Wow! Daddy, are we going on a trip?"

The little one heard our conversation and excitedly ran over.

"Yes, where does the baby want to go?"

I laughed and lifted him onto my lap.

"I want to go to Disneyland! I want Mickey Mouse!"

The adorable child pointed to a picture of Disneyland in the information and said excitedly.

"Okay, let's go to Disneyland then!"

Gu Yichen agreed with indulgence.

And so, our family of three embarked on our round-the-world trip. We went to romantic Paris and experienced the magnificence of the Eiffel Tower; we went to vibrant Hawaii and played to our hearts' content on the beach; we went to the fairytale-like Disneyland and took photos with Mickey Mouse…

Along the way, we left behind countless laughs and many precious photos and memories.

The adorable child also broadened his horizons, increased his knowledge, and grew into a happy and confident young boy.

After our trip, we returned to City A.

Lu Mingxuan and his fiancée invited us to their home for dinner, saying it was to thank us for the wedding gifts we gave them.

"Yan Yan, Yi Chen, it's been a long time!"

Lu Mingxuan's fiancée is a gentle and lovely girl named Lin Ke, and she and Mingxuan are a perfect match.

"Coco, it's been a long time! You've become more and more beautiful," I said with a smile.

"No way, Sister Yan is prettier." Lin Ke smiled shyly.

"Stop praising each other, you two, and sit down to eat," Lu Mingxuan said with a smile.

During the meal, we talked about many things, including memories of the past and our hopes for the future.

Seeing Lu Mingxuan and Lin Ke's sweet and loving relationship, I am genuinely happy for them.

After dinner, we said goodbye to Lu Mingxuan and Lin Ke. The three of us walked hand in hand under the moonlight, enjoying the tranquility and happiness.

"Mommy, look, there really looks like there are rabbits on the moon!" the little boy said in his sweet, childish voice, pointing at the moon. I followed his finger and couldn't help but smile; children's words are always full of innocence and imagination.

"Yes, maybe there really is a jade rabbit living up there!" I patted his head, my heart softening.

Gu Yichen watched us quietly from the side, his eyes full of tenderness. Over the years, his sharp edges had gradually faded, replaced by a more mature and steady demeanor, but the only thing that remained unchanged was his deep and unwavering love for me.

"By the way, Yichen, when was the place you said you'd take me to see last time?"

I suddenly remembered that Gu Yichen had mysteriously told me that he had a surprise for me.

"It's tomorrow. I've already made all the arrangements. I guarantee you'll like it." He winked mysteriously.

The next day, Gu Yichen drove me to the outskirts of the city. The scenery along the way was beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming. My mood gradually relaxed as I looked out the car window at the scenery.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a quaint old town.

"Is this the place?" I looked at the peaceful and serene town in front of me with some surprise. The cobblestone paths were lined with quaint houses, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers. It was as if time had slowed down here.

"So, do you like it?" Gu Yichen asked softly, holding my hand.

"I like it. It's quiet and comfortable here, and it makes me feel very relaxed."

I nodded, took a deep breath, and savored the fresh air.

“I stumbled upon this place by chance, and I thought that when you get old, we would come here to retire and live a leisurely life.”

He looked at me with deep affection, his eyes filled with longing for the future.

A warm feeling welled up inside me; his words, like the warm sun in winter, warmed my whole body.

I know that no matter what the future holds, he will always be by my side, never leaving me.

Just as we were immersed in this wonderful atmosphere, a familiar figure appeared not far away...

"Xiao Yan, is it really you?" A familiar voice interrupted my thoughts. I turned around abruptly and saw Lu Mingxuan standing not far away, his face filled with surprise and disbelief.

He has shed his youthful naiveté and become more mature and composed, but his eyes still shine with a familiar light.

"Mingxuan, it's been a long time." I tried to suppress the turmoil in my heart and replied as calmly as possible.

Gu Yichen gripped my hand tightly, his eyes deep and unfathomable, as if he were investigating something.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, trying not to sound too stiff.

"I...I came here to sketch. The scenery here is beautiful and it inspires me." Lu Mingxuan's eyes darted around. "I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Yes, what a coincidence." My heart was filled with mixed feelings. His resolute figure when he left back then reappeared in my mind. Now that we meet again, I can't help but feel a little emotional.

"And who is this?" Lu Mingxuan turned his gaze to Gu Yichen, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

“My husband is Gu Yichen,” I introduced.

"Mr. Gu, I've heard so much about you." Lu Mingxuan politely extended his hand.

Gu Yichen nodded lightly and took his hand, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

I know he must be feeling very uncomfortable, after all, Lu Mingxuan was once my suitor, and he once held a place in my heart.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment. Just as I was thinking of something to break the silence, Lu Mingxuan suddenly spoke up: "I... my girlfriend is here too. She really likes the jewelry you design. Can I take her to see you?"

My heart sank suddenly and an ominous premonition came over me.
