But she promised that she would be extra good to him, be loyal to him, and use the rest of her life to make amends to him……

  Three rounds of physical activities had completely drained Song Qingchun. When it was over, she collapsed on the bed, unable to move even a muscle. Su Zhinian grabbed a wet towel to clean both of them up. Then he hugged her and massaged her back. When he realized that she hadn’t fallen asleep, he leaned closer to her eyes to whisper, "Tingting, in the morning, let’s go to the registry."

  "Huh?"

  "I’ve called the people there. Even without going through the divorce process, we can register our marriage one more time."

  So, the wish that was on her mind, he had already made all the necessary preparations. Even though he had mind-reading skills, she had never thought about that in his proximity, so he didn’t know about that. I, Song Qingchun, sure am lucky to be able to have found such a caring man to spend the rest of my life with.

  Song Qingchun was touched. She nodded with a soft "hmm" that was laced with a choking sound.

  "Also, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have gone to get the certificate without you. I was just too afraid to lose you."

  "It’s alright……" Tears still fell out of Song Qingchun’s eyes. She leaned deeper into Su Zhinian’s body. Her lips curved into a smile, and she asked the question that suddenly entered her mind. "Su Zhinian, do you have any regrets?"

  "What kind of regret?"

  "Regret that you found out from your mother that you’re my father’s son and regret not knowing I’m my father’s adopted daughter, causing us to miss each other by so many years."

  Do I feel regret? Su Zhinian asked himself honestly. He contemplated it for a long time before admitting with confidence, "I don’t regret it."

  Perhaps in other people’s eyes, those misunderstandings between us should be nothing but a huge block of regret, but they aren’t that for me. Because…… you know why?

  That is merely a joke played on me by destiny, but we have learned plenty from that joke.

  Do you believe in fate?

  I do because, looking back, many things happened for a reason. If I didn’t discover that secret many years ago, we wouldn’t have been forced to part, and I wouldn’t have realized how much I love you.

  If I didn’t discover that secret many years ago, I wouldn’t have accepted you, and I never would have known that you love me so much that you’re willing to accompany me in hell.

  While we were experiencing all those misunderstandings, it was definitely painful, but we have learned from that pain, learned how to love and cherish each other.

  Most importantly……

  Su Zhinian suddenly turned to meet Song Qingchun’s eyes and said sincerely, "……Those roads that I’ve walked with you by my side, be they bitter or sweet, were the most precious gifts that God has given me.

  "And, I have you."

  Song Qingchun looked back into Su Zhinian’s eyes. With happy tears, she smiled brightly. "Indeed, I too have no regret because I have you."

  Love has many shapes and forms. As long as you’re by my side, no matter the trials, our love will bloom into luscious flowers……

  When the first ray of sun rose from the east, Qin Yinan’s eyes fluttered open. Cheng Qingchong, who was already dressed, was asleep, snuggled in his arms.
