Three days later, the gentle winter morning sunlight shone on the glass curtain wall of Yuncheng International Airport, reflecting a dazzling light.
The airport waiting hall was bustling with people, and hurried passengers pushed their suitcases and rushed to their respective boarding gates.
In a corner of the rest area, a group of people sat together, the atmosphere warm yet tinged with a touch of reluctance.
Xiao Mohan wore a dark blue casual suit with a light gray turtleneck sweater underneath, making him look both casual and elegant.
Lin Manlin wore a camel-colored long coat paired with black straight-leg pants, her hair casually draped over her shoulders, looking both capable and feminine.
Their suitcases were neatly arranged to the side; they were traveling light, but it was enough for the next three months of their journey.
“Remember to send us photos from every place you visit,” Su Maiqi said with a smile, gently holding Lin Manlin’s hand, her eyes revealing an undisguised reluctance to part. “I want to see how sweet your honeymoon was.”
“That’s a must,” Lin Manlin laughed heartily. “I’ve already planned it out. Every time we go to a new place, I’ll take a picture of us together and send it to you.”
Gu Tingyu stood to the side, holding Xiao Chengze in one arm and resting his other hand on Su Maiqi's shoulder, a gentle smile on his face.
Little Chengze wore a light blue cotton-padded jacket, his round eyes curiously observing everything around him, occasionally making babbling sounds, as if he were also seeing off the newlyweds.
“Brother Xiao,” Gu Tingyu suddenly said seriously, “you don’t need to worry about things at the company. I’ll handle it with Mo Yan. Just relax and enjoy your honeymoon.”
Xiao Mohan nodded, his eyes filled with trust and gratitude: "Thank you. I'll leave the company's affairs to you."
Mo Yan and Su Mairou, along with Xiao Duoduo, also came to see them off.
Little Duoduo, dressed in a pink princess dress, skipped and hopped around the adults, looking up at this and that from time to time, seemingly full of curiosity about the new and exciting environment of the airport.
Su Mairou gently held her daughter's hand and smiled at Lin Manlin, saying, "Take care of yourself on the road. Contact us anytime if you need any help."
Lin Manlin nodded, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes.
Over the years, no matter how many storms she has weathered, these people have always been like family to her, giving her unconditional support and warmth.
"It's almost boarding time," Xiao Mohan glanced at his watch and reminded them softly, "We should go through security."
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat silent.
Even though I know it's only a three-month separation, I still feel a pang of reluctance.
Lin Manlin took a deep breath, stepped forward, and hugged Su Maiqi tightly.
At this moment, the two childhood friends need no words; their deep affection transcends the scope of any language.
“Take a good look at this world for me,” Su Maiqi whispered in Lin Manlin’s ear, her voice trembling slightly, “and then come back and tell me how beautiful it is.”
Lin Manlin nodded, her eyes slightly moist: "I will."
Xiao Mohan shook hands with Gu Tingyu and Mo Yan to say goodbye, conveying the brotherhood they had shared through thick and thin for many years in a simple gesture.
"You must be happy," Gu Tingyu whispered to Xiao Mohan before letting go.
Xiao Mohan nodded solemnly: "Yes."
The moment of farewell finally arrived. Xiao Mohan took Lin Manlin's hand, and the two of them pulled their suitcases toward the security checkpoint.
Before stepping into the security checkpoint, Lin Manlin suddenly turned around and looked at her friends who were standing there.
Sunlight streamed through the glass curtain wall, casting a warm glow on everyone.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
Lin Manlin etched this image deeply into her mind—Gu Tingyu holding Xiao Chengze in his arms, with Su Maiqi nestled beside him.
Mo Yan and Su Mairou stood together, with Xiao Duoduo standing between them, holding her mother's and Mo Yan's hands respectively.
Everyone's face was beaming with happiness and blessings.
These are the people she loves most, and also the people Xiao Mohan loves most.
From now on, their lives will be closely intertwined, and they will jointly write a new chapter in their lives.
Lin Manlin raised her hand, waved to everyone, and smiled brightly: "We'll bring you gifts!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mohan raised his hand and waved to everyone. Then, he put his arm around Lin Manlin's shoulder, and the two turned and walked into the security checkpoint, their figures gradually disappearing into the crowd.
On the way back to the city, the winter sun shone through the car window and fell on Su Maiqi's face, bringing a touch of warmth.
Gu Tingyu focused on driving, occasionally glancing at Su Maiqi sitting in the passenger seat, noticing her gazing out the window with a thoughtful expression.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Tingyu asked softly, his voice filled with concern.
Su Maiqi sighed softly, coming back to her senses: "I was thinking how fast time flies. In the blink of an eye, Lin Manlin is married too."
Gu Tingyu smiled slightly: "Yes, it's truly surprising. Who would have thought that Xiao Mohan and Lin Manlin would get together so suddenly?"
Su Maiqi turned to Gu Tingyu: "There's still a month until the Spring Festival. This year, they'll be traveling, in unfamiliar countries, celebrating this new beginning in a completely new way."
At this point, she suddenly fell into deep thought.
This was the third Spring Festival she had spent with Gu Tingyu. During the first Spring Festival, her mother had just passed away; her older sister, Su Mairou, had also just gotten divorced and was all alone with her child.
Now, three years have passed, and who would have thought that she would have a child, her sister would have a new lover, and even Lin Manlin would have a whirlwind marriage?
The gears of fate are so wondrous.
At that moment, Su Maiqi suddenly realized that her fate seemed to be closely linked to Gu Tingyu's the moment she decided to enter into a contract marriage.
That accidental decision, that seemingly temporary arrangement, changed the course of everyone's lives.
As Su Maiqi moved slowly through the traffic, a clear voice appeared in her mind: "Regardless of whether the marriage continues or not, your bond with this man will last a lifetime."
Strangely, for the first time, Sumaiqi was no longer afraid of such sounds.
On the contrary, she felt a sense of certainty that no matter what choice she made, this man would support her.
Even if the marriage ends, the two people can still raise the children amicably together.
This realization gave her an unprecedented sense of peace and relief.
Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
Gu Tingyu noticed the change in Su Maiqi's expression out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What happy thing came to mind?"
Su Maiqi shook her head slightly and replied softly, "I was just thinking about our lives."
She didn't explain in detail, but her gentle tone and soft eyes warmed Gu Tingyu's heart.
Whatever Su Maqi is thinking, it must be something beautiful.
The car continued its journey through the city streets, sunlight streaming through the windows and bathing the two of them in warmth.
The surrounding scenery is constantly changing, just like their lives, which are full of variables and possibilities, yet they find stability and strength in each other's company.
Soon, the car stopped downstairs at Chenxing Company.
"I'll drop you off here and then go back to be with Xiao Chengze," Gu Tingyu said softly. "You'll be very busy these days, so don't overwork yourself."
Su Maiqi nodded, a surge of gratitude welling up inside her.
As the new president, she needs to streamline the workflow and arrange the domestic business properly before heading to France after the New Year.
Gu Tingyu's thoughtfulness and understanding gave her more confidence when facing these challenges.
"Thank you," Su Maiqi said sincerely. "I will handle these matters as soon as possible."
After saying that, she pushed open the car door and prepared to get out.
Just then, Gu Tingyu suddenly called out to her, "Maggie."
Su Maiqi turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Gu Tingyu gave her a deep look, smiled, and said, "Good luck."
These two simple words contain endless encouragement and support.
Su Maiqi felt a warmth in her heart, nodded, and then turned to walk towards the company gate.
Gu Tingyu watched her figure disappear behind the revolving door before starting the car and driving home.
On the drive back to the city, Gu Tingyu was in a very good mood.
His best friend won over Su Maiqi's sister and best friend respectively. Everyone is very happy. Is there anything better than this?
This means that it is almost impossible for Su Maqi to completely leave his life.
In that case, even if she isn't his wife, it would be fine.
