Everyone chatted and laughed together in the ward for a while, creating a uniquely "warm" feeling.

Soon the two caregivers returned.

Gu Tingyu suggested that everyone should spend New Year's Eve with Mo Yan.

Mo Yan declined everyone's kind offer, telling them to go home and rest early, adding that he also needed to go to sleep early.

The group said their goodbyes and left.

Mo Yan went back to get his phone and found that the male caregiver was helping him relieve himself.

He suddenly understood why Mo Yan had urged them to go back early. He blamed himself for being too careless and not thinking of that.

Mo Yan ate his New Year's Eve dinner with two women and a child. He must have been holding back for a long time, which explains why he didn't drink any water or beverages earlier.

He couldn't say anything in front of the caregiver, so he pretended to be nonchalant, picked up his phone, and left.

Gu Tingyu then drove a few people to the lakeside and set off fireworks.

The fireworks that Gu Tingyu chose were all beautiful.

Silvery-white fireworks, like a cascading galaxy, pierced the night sky, blooming high above like millions of dazzling stars, instantly illuminating the entire heavens.

The red fireworks, like blooming peonies, unfold layer upon layer, burning brightly in the night sky and releasing a warm glow.

The blue fireworks, like deep-sea waves, tumbled in the night sky, carrying a touch of mystery and tranquility, making one feel as if they were in a dreamlike ocean.

Sumaiqi's favorite fireworks are golden ones, like a golden waterfall cascading down from the sky and showering the world with dazzling light.

Before the golden light disappeared, Su Maiqi closed her eyes and made a wish: "Chenxing's new product must be an instant hit," imagining the golden light as abundant as the company itself, bringing in a flood of wealth.

The children were the happiest. Duoduo was very excited as it was her first time setting off fireworks by herself.

That golden firework was lit by her aunt's husband holding her hand.

She jumped up and down excitedly, shouting, "Mommy, those are the fireworks I set off! Look how beautiful they are! Make a wish!"

Even the usually aloof Lin Jinyu was somewhat affected.

In the years since her husband passed away, she has gradually adjusted; she raised her son and found a comfortable rhythm of life.

Over the years, she has been satisfied with her life.

Living in a family, she never had any trouble with food, clothing, or daily necessities; her son was sensible and capable, so she didn't need to worry about him.

I also have things I like and am passionate about, so I am not spiritually lacking.

But the small joys and happiness of such ordinary life were unfamiliar to her.

She couldn't help but wonder if her daily life would be the same if Tianze hadn't left.

Tianze is a person without ambition.

It can't be said that there was no retaliation, but he had a kind of Buddhist-like aura.

He is certainly very capable, but he doesn't seem to be fixated on the pursuit of power and money.

I act more according to my heart.

Life is simple and plain, yet it possesses a gentleness and sensitivity that most men lack. If Tianze were still alive, this would be the kind of old age he would want.

The whole family lived a simple yet lively life.

Gu Tingyu doesn't need to work so hard; he can grow up slowly like a child.

You can simply find a woman you like, have children, and live a relaxed and warm life.

Lin Jinyu was not unaware of what Gu Tingyu had been busy with all these years.

She was actually glad that her son was a capable person.

The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease.

With Tianze gone, Gu Tingyu must be able to support the family and build a strong defense to protect his own little family.

Lin Jinyu understood this principle.

So over the years, although she hoped that her son would get married and have grandchildren soon, she never urged him to.

She was naturally suspicious of her marriage to Su Maiqi.

It was too sudden, and she could tell that the young couple weren't really close.

He can fool others, but how could he possibly fool his mother?

But Lin Jinyu felt that human feelings were inexplicable, after all, the two people spent every day together.

She also felt an instant connection with Su Maiqi; the young girl was remarkably calm and unassuming, and she and her son seemed strangely well-matched.

Regardless of the reasons behind it, this is the person his son brought home, and the two even got a marriage certificate.

Lin Jinyu will truly treat her as his daughter-in-law.

She didn't have much real confidence to begin with.

But on nights like this, with fireworks like this, there is a relaxed, joyful, and warm feeling of everyday life.

She was a little dazed.

Holding Duoduo's hand, Lin Jinyu watched the fireworks bloom in the sky and felt that she was just as joyful and innocent as a child.

Gu Tingyu was also very happy.

On this night, for these few hours, he was finally able to unload the heavy burden that had been weighing on him.

When he was setting off fireworks by the river and laughing and joking with Duoduo, he seemed like just an ordinary young man in his twenties.

There is plenty of time, and youth that can be squandered at will.

She has a simple and innocent smile.

There are no secrets buried deep in my heart.

There was no backstabbing or heavy pressure.

The only things I feel right now are the cool breeze on my face and the fireworks blooming in the sky.

Su Mairou, however, felt relieved. Her sister's husband and mother-in-law were both good people, so she was at ease.

And she herself had finally broken free from Li Deshun and his son. She could live according to her own wishes, and this feeling of freedom, of being in control of herself, brought her physical and mental comfort.

After resigning, her initial success in starting a handmade business gave her confidence. She finally felt less anxious.

You can make money.

I'm doing what I love.

The hours are flexible, allowing me to take care of my child.

She felt as if she had finally come back to life. The numbness she had felt for so many years had finally awakened.

She felt as if her senses had become sharp again.

The feeling of the wind blowing across my skin.

The sound of birds chirping.

The sound of branches trembling when the wind blows.

The color of the sky, the shape of the clouds.

Sunset and rainbow.

The scent of a flower.

The world suddenly seems to have become vibrant and colorful.

Even when eating, the food tastes different.

This New Year, she finally felt that a new life was beckoning to her.

I think I can understand what my sister meant by freedom now. She no longer has any expectations for love, and she doesn't want to get married or go through childbirth again.

Life is really interesting. Now it's my sister who's married and has gained freedom.

They each entered into life paths different from what they had expected, but she felt that they were both happy, and that was enough.

Lin Manlin's emotions were somewhat complicated; she was the only one who knew the truth about Su Maiqi's marriage.

She originally felt that Su Maiqi didn't need to get involved in this mess, as the feuds within wealthy families were too complicated.

But after getting to know Gu Tingyu and Lin Jinyu up close, she felt that it didn't seem like a "contract marriage" at all, since Su Maiqi had a pretty high status in the Gu family.

Although Su Maiqi and Gu Tingyu weren't exactly close, something just felt off.

She suddenly had a hunch: things might not necessarily go as expected.

The fireworks in the sky were dazzling, reflecting the brilliance of the stars.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but the night seemed pretty good.
