I will die early and cannon fodder. I will enjoy great blessings after marrying a sick man.

Song Manman gently picked up the spoon and stirred the latte in front of her. The aroma of coffee spread as she stirred.

Hearing this, Song Manman glanced at the books on the bookshelf and said, "Then let's read some books too!"

After saying this in a low voice, Song Manman picked up a book from the shelf and started flipping through it.

Shen Yanqing looked at Song Manman's peaceful face, smiled dotingly, and picked up a book from the shelf to read.

Time passed quietly as they read, and the two spent a pleasant morning in the coffee shop, silently enjoying each other's company and the beauty of the tranquility.

The sun was shining brightly at noon, and the warm light shone through the window onto them, forming golden spots that added a bit of warmth to the moment.

"This book looks really good. Let's come over and continue reading it tomorrow."

After saying that, Song Manman put the book back to its place, and saw a hint of apology on Shen Yanqing's face.

"My dear, I'm sorry. I may have to go back to Jiangcheng tomorrow." Shen Yanqing's voice was low, with deep helplessness and guilt.

Song Manman was stunned for a moment and murmured, "We're leaving tomorrow!" There was a hint of loss in her voice, but she quickly adjusted her mood.

Lifting her little face and smiling, Song Manman held Shen Yanqing's hand and squeezed it, saying, "It's okay, there's nothing to apologize for. It's already great that you can rush back to celebrate the children's birthday and spend so many days with me."

Song Manman pretended to be relaxed, trying to ease Shen Yanqing's guilt.

"Thank you, my dear." After saying that, Shen Yanqing wanted to kiss Song Manman on the cheek, but considering that they were outside, Shen Yanqing only kissed the back of Song Manman's hand.

Their eyes accidentally met, with a sense of tacit understanding that had accumulated over a long period of time.

At that moment, it seemed as if they were the only ones left in the world, and they could understand each other's thoughts without words.

There was a hint of reluctance in Song Manman's smile, but more of it was understanding and support.

"The work in Jiangcheng is very important. I understand that. I will take good care of myself, the children, and my parents in Kyoto."

Shen Yanqing felt a warm current in his heart. He hugged Song Manman and said softly, "The most important thing is to take good care of yourself. When I finish my work over there, I will try my best to come back."

"Yeah!" Song Manman nodded gently, leaning in Shen Yanqing's arms, feeling his heartbeat and warmth.

After leaving the cafe, the two walked along the road.

In front is a small garden with lush flowers and plants and winding paths.

The two walked slowly along the path, occasionally stopping to admire the surrounding scenery.

It was not until almost time for dinner that the two of them walked back the way they had come.

The sunset on the horizon is like a gorgeous painting, dyeing the entire sky orange and red.

When I got home, the meal was just served.

The children sat around the dining table, excitedly talking about interesting things in school and what they saw and heard today.

As he was talking, Little Orange looked at Shen Yanqing and said, "Dad, can you go out with me this Saturday?"

The little girl's eyes were full of anticipation and desire, and her little hands were tightly holding the chopsticks, as if she was afraid of being rejected.

Shen Yanqing tightened his grip on the chopsticks slightly, and said guiltily, "Sorry, Orange, Dad has to go back to Jiangcheng to work tomorrow. So, can I take you out to play next time I come back?"

Shen Yanqing's voice was full of helplessness and apology, and he didn't dare to look directly into Xiaojuzi's eyes.
