Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

"Dad, Mom, how about I show off my cooking skills today and make you a dish from our hometown?"

I walked to the kitchen doorway and smiled at my parents who were busy at work.

The mother turned around, her eyes full of surprise: "Yan Yan, you can cook hometown dishes? That's wonderful! Your dad and I haven't had them in so long, we really miss them."

"Then you two can wait and try my cooking!" I rolled up my sleeves, took out the ingredients from the refrigerator, and got to work.

Gu Yichen walked into the kitchen, wrapped his arms around me from behind, and asked softly, "Do you need my help?"

"No need, go and talk to your parents, the kitchen is too smoky."

I smiled and shook my head, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

Gu Yichen insisted on staying to help me. He washed and chopped vegetables with practiced skill and worked well together with me.

We chatted and laughed as we worked, filling the kitchen with joyful sounds.

The aroma of the food quickly filled the entire house, and the parents, smelling the familiar scent, had nostalgic expressions on their faces.

"It's delicious!"

The father sighed, "The taste of home is still the best."

I brought the last dish to the table, and the family sat together to enjoy this warm lunch.

"Yan Yan, your cooking skills are really good. This braised fish is exactly the same as your dad's back then."

The mother praised the food as she savored it.

"Yes, this fish dish is my dad's specialty. I've been secretly learning how to make it for a long time!"

I said with a smile.

"Haha, you little rascal, you've even learned to steal other people's skills."

My father was amused by my words, and his eyes were full of love.

Seeing the happy smiles on my parents' faces, I felt incredibly satisfied and happy.

I know that my family is finally reunited, and my life is now filled with sunshine and hope.

After dinner, Gu Yichen suggested taking my parents for a walk in the nearby park, and I readily agreed.

We chatted and laughed along the way. My parents praised Gu Yichen highly, saying he was considerate and thoughtful, and a rare and excellent son-in-law.

The sunlight shone on us, warm and comforting, and my heart was filled with happiness and contentment.

I believe that in the days to come, our family will become happier and happier!

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire living room, and the adorable child sat on the soft carpet, earnestly learning calligraphy from his grandfather.

Her little hands clumsily held the calligraphy brush, imitating her grandfather's movements stroke by stroke. Although her writing was crooked and uneven, she was enjoying herself immensely, her little face beaming with focus and happiness. Her grandmother played the guzheng beside her, the melodious music echoing in the room, as if accompanying the adorable child's calligraphy creation.

Seeing this heartwarming scene, my heart was filled with emotion and joy. The arrival of the parents not only brought more laughter to the family, but also allowed the little one to grow up happily surrounded by love.

Days passed by in happiness and busyness, and before I knew it, my birthday arrived.

When I woke up that morning, Gu Yichen gave me an exquisite gift box containing a necklace that sparkled with diamonds. He put it on me himself and whispered in my ear, "Happy birthday, my darling." I hugged him, feeling touched and filled with sweetness and happiness.

That evening, Gu Yichen took me to a high-end restaurant, saying he wanted to celebrate my birthday.

The restaurant was decorated romantically and warmly, with flowers, candlelight, and fine wine—everything was perfect. After dinner, Gu Yichen suddenly took my hand and said mysteriously, "Come with me."

He led me to the top floor of the restaurant, which had been transformed into a dreamlike garden, where the stars seemed within reach.

"This is a surprise I prepared for you. Do you like it?"

Gu Yichen looked at me with deep affection, his eyes filled with love.

I was moved to tears. He always knew exactly what I liked and disliked, and he always managed to weave romance and surprises into my life.

"Yichen, thank you. This is the most unforgettable birthday I've ever had."

I choked out. He gently wiped away my tears and kissed my forehead. "Silly girl, your happiness is my greatest wish."

Under the starry sky that night, we stood together in each other's arms and made a promise to stay together for life.

To make this happiness last longer, we decided to take our little one and parents on a trip so they could also share in this joy.

We chose a scenic seaside city, and my parents loved the fresh air and pleasant climate there.

The adorable child was extremely excited, running barefoot on the beach, his silvery laughter echoing across the seaside and infecting everyone around him.

The meaning of travel lies not only in appreciating beautiful scenery, but also in spending time with family and feeling kinship.

Our family strolled along the beach, took photos, and played games; every moment was filled with warmth and joy.

These precious images will forever be treasured deep in my memory, becoming the most beautiful memories of my life.

After the trip, I became even more actively involved in various public welfare activities.

I always remember that happiness is meant to be shared, and I hope to do my best to help more people in need.

During a charity event, I met a little girl who had lost both her parents. Her frail body and timid eyes deeply touched me.

I learned that her name is Xiaoyu. She lost her parents in an accident and has been living with her elderly grandmother ever since.

Looking into Xiaoyu's helpless eyes, my heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand. I couldn't imagine how a young child could bear the pain of losing both parents. At that moment, I made a decision: I would adopt Xiaoyu and give her a warm home.

I told Gu Yichen about this idea, and he supported my decision without hesitation. I knew that I had met the right person again.

"Are you sure? This isn't like raising a pet; Xiaoyu needs more love and companionship."

Gu Yichen held my hand, his eyes gentle yet firm. "However, whatever decision you make, I will support you."

His words were like a warm current, dispelling the last trace of hesitation in my heart.

We quickly completed the adoption procedures and brought Xiaoyu home.

At first, Xiaoyu was very quiet, always hiding in a corner, looking at us timidly.

I patiently stayed with her, told her stories, and took her to the amusement park. Gradually, she began to open up, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

The little girl was very happy to see Xiaoyu. She acted like a little adult, teaching Xiaoyu to sing and dance, and sharing her toys with her.

Looking at the two children's innocent smiles, my heart was filled with happiness and contentment.

I know I made the right decision.

As the days went by, Xiaoyu had completely integrated into our big family.

On a quiet night, Gu Yichen and I sat on the balcony, gazing up at the starry sky.

The children were fast asleep, and the gentle moonlight shone on their faces, creating a peaceful and beautiful scene.

"Thank you, Yichen, thank you for giving me all of this."

I nestled against his shoulder and whispered.

"Fool, we're husband and wife, it's only right."

He lowered his head and kissed my forehead, his gaze deep and tender. "We'll be together forever, right?"

I nodded firmly, my heart filled with happiness and sweetness.

However, at that moment, my phone suddenly rang, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.

My heart shuddered, and an ominous premonition came over me.

Upon answering the phone, a deep, unfamiliar male voice came through the receiver: "Ms. Fu, it's been a long time..."
