Chapter 60 Happiness

The knocks on the door became more and more urgent, and my heart was in my throat. Zhong Yuxuan pulled me behind him and motioned me to hide first. I grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, my knuckles turned white, but I didn't dare to make a sound. He patted the back of my hand gently and whispered to comfort me: "Don't be afraid, I'll go and take a look."

He opened the door, and outside stood his assistant, who looked flustered. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhong Yuxuan, and whispered a few words. Zhong Yuxuan's expression gradually eased, and he turned around and said to me, "It's okay, it was a false alarm."

It turned out that there was a problem within the Black Crow organization, and they temporarily gave up their actions against us. Although the crisis was temporarily resolved, Zhong Yuxuan did not relax his vigilance. He told me that he would handle this matter as soon as possible so that we could live a truly stable life.

In the days that followed, we seemed to have returned to the sweet time we had in the beginning. We traveled together and saw mountains, rivers, lakes and seas; we watched movies together and shared each other's joys and sorrows; we even learned to cook together, although the kitchen always turned into a "battlefield" in the end, but we never got tired of it.

"Zhong Yuxuan, look, I mixed up sugar and salt again!" I stuck out my tongue and looked at him apologetically.

He smiled and ruffled my hair, saying lovingly, "It's okay, I'll take care of it. After all, you are my wife."

His words were like a warm current, slowly flowing into my heart and dispelling all the haze.

Qin Xue would occasionally come over for meals, and watching our sweet interactions, she couldn't help but sigh: "You two are so enviable, you're just like the male and female protagonists in an idol drama!"

I smiled and joked, "Why, you also want to date a domineering president?"

She patted me coyly and said, "Go away, I'm not that superficial! But when you think about it, when are you going to start your new life? You can't just stay at home and be a canary forever, right?"

I was stunned for a moment. Yes, it seemed that besides Zhong Yuxuan, my life was only about Zhong Yuxuan. Although I enjoyed the feeling of being pampered by him, I didn't want to be a burden to him. I wanted to have my own life and my own dreams.

As if seeing through my thoughts, Zhong Yuxuan held my hand and said softly: "Luo Xue, do whatever you want to do boldly. I will always support you."

His words gave me great encouragement, and a warm current surged in my heart. Yes, I have him, what else do I have to be afraid of? Qin Xue's words woke me up. Yes, I have been immersed in happiness, but I forgot that I should have my own life. Zhong Yuxuan is so outstanding, I can't always rely on him like a dodder. I have to find my own rhythm so that I can walk side by side with him on the road to the future.

I started trying new things. I used to hang out with Zhong Yuxuan, but now I'm taking a painting class and learning oil painting twice a week. Although my painting skills are still immature, I enjoy using colors to express my emotions. I also signed up for a yoga class to learn how to relax and feel the rhythm of my body.

Zhong Yuxuan was happy for me from the bottom of his heart when he saw me actively trying new things. He always accompanied me patiently, encouraged me when I encountered difficulties, and cheered me on when I made progress. The relationship between us was no longer just one-sided pampering, but became stronger through mutual support.

"Luo Xue, what do you think of my painting today?" I excitedly held up a newly completed oil painting. It showed a field of golden sunflowers, which was where we had our first date.

Zhong Yuxuan put down the documents in his hand, walked over to me, and looked at my work carefully. His eyes sparkled with admiration, "Great! You have shown the vigor and vitality of the sunflower, just like you, full of sunshine and hope."

I felt so happy when I heard his praise. I know that my painting skills are far from mature, but he always sees the results of my hard work and gives me the greatest affirmation.

One weekend night, Zhong Yuxuan said to me mysteriously: "Luo Xue, I will take you to a place tonight."

I asked curiously, "What place is this? Why is it so mysterious?"

He just smiled, didn't reveal any information, just took my hand and led me out.

We drove to a mountain top in the suburbs. The starry sky at night was extremely bright, as if countless shining diamonds were scattered on a huge black curtain.

Zhong Yuxuan took out a blanket from the car and spread it on the ground, then took me to sit down. He looked at me affectionately, his eyes full of tenderness and love.

"Luo Xue, do you remember the place where we first met?" he asked softly.

I nodded. "Of course I remember. It was in that cafe. You spilled coffee on my skirt."

He chuckled, "Yeah, I was really clumsy. But I never thought that such a clumsy encounter would lead me to meet the love of my life."

He paused, took a deep breath, and then continued, his voice full of emotion, "Luo Xue, meeting you is the greatest luck of my life. You are like a ray of sunshine, illuminating my originally dark world. You taught me how to love and how to cherish. I want to spend my whole life loving and caring for you. Will you marry me?"

My heart seemed to stop beating at this moment. I looked at everything in front of me in disbelief. He knelt on one knee in front of me, holding a shining diamond ring in his hand, looking at me affectionately, waiting for my answer... Tears blurred my vision, and I covered my mouth to prevent myself from crying out loud. Happiness came too suddenly. I felt like Cinderella in the fairy tale, meeting my prince.

"Silly boy, why are you crying?" Zhong Yuxuan gently wiped away the tears from my eyes. "These are tears of joy. You should smile."

I burst into laughter, stretched out my trembling left hand, and whispered, "I do."

The diamond ring sparkled between our fingers, reflecting our happy smiles. At that moment, it seemed as if there were only the two of us in the world, hugging each other and feeling this hard-earned love.

We lay on the blanket, looked up at the starry sky, and began to look forward to our future life.

"Yuxuan, how many children do you think we will have in the future?" I tilted my head, snuggled in his arms, and asked expectantly.

"We can have as many children as you want." Zhong Yuxuan scratched my nose lovingly, "It would be best if we could have a daughter as cute as you, with big watery eyes and two sweet dimples when she smiles."

I couldn't help but laugh out loud, "How do you know it must be a daughter? What if it's a son?"

"My son looks like me and my daughter looks like you. This is perfect." Zhong Yuxuan said with certainty, as if everything was under his control.

We chatted like this, about everything from the child's name to the future home, and every topic was full of sweetness and warmth.

After returning home, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night, my mind was full of the scene of my marriage with Zhong Yuxuan. I began to imagine myself wearing a white wedding dress, and walking into the palace of marriage with my beloved in the presence of relatives and friends...

The next morning, I couldn't wait to call Qin Xue and tell her what happened last night.

"Oh my God! Luo Xue, you are so happy! I can't believe that you are really going to marry Zhong Yuxuan!" Qin Xue on the other end of the phone was so excited that she was incoherent, "I must be your bridesmaid, I want to witness your happiness with my own eyes!"

In the next few days, Zhong Yuxuan and I started to prepare for the wedding. We chose a beautiful island and decided to hold a romantic island wedding there.

Everything was going smoothly. I was immersed in happiness and joy, not realizing that the gears of fate were turning quietly...

In order to thank the community for their support to Zhong Yuxuan's company, we decided to hold a charity dinner on the eve of the wedding. That night, I dressed up and walked into the banquet hall with Zhong Yuxuan's arm.

At this moment, my eyes inadvertently swept through the crowd, and a familiar figure came into view. It was a kind old man, dressed simply, but it was hard to hide the bookish air on him. I was stunned, and a long-forgotten memory emerged in my mind...

I covered my mouth, my heart was beating hard. It was that old man, the mysterious old man who gave me warmth and help when I was desperate! I haven't seen him since we parted, and I didn't expect to meet him again in such an occasion. I wanted to rush over excitedly, but Yuxuan held me back.

"What's wrong?" He noticed that something was wrong with me and asked with concern.

I pointed at the old man and said in a trembling voice, "Yuxuan, do you remember I told you that there was an old man who helped me a lot? That's him!"

Yuxuan followed my gaze and nodded slightly, motioning me to come over. I took a deep breath, calmed myself down, and slowly walked to the old man.

"Grandpa, it's really you! I thought I would never see you again!" My eyes were red and my voice was choked.

The old man raised his head, a glimmer of light shone through his cloudy eyes. He looked me up and down, and a kind smile gradually blossomed on his face: "Child, it's you! It's really you! You've grown so big, and you're getting more and more beautiful."

I excitedly held the old man's hand, introduced Yuxuan to him, and told him about my experiences over the years, of course, hiding those unpleasant past events. The old man listened quietly, nodding from time to time, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Child, I'm really happy that you can find your own happiness." The old man patted my hands and said earnestly, "You are a kind and brave girl. You should cherish this hard-earned happiness."

I nodded vigorously, tears sliding down my cheeks. Yuxuan gently wiped away my tears, held my hand tightly, and said to the old man: "Old man, thank you for helping Luo Xue back then. We will always remember your kindness."

The old man waved his hands and said, "This is fate, and it is also your own good fortune, child. Seeing you are so happy now, I feel relieved."

After saying goodbye to the old man, I couldn't calm down for a long time. Yuxuan gently put his arm around my shoulders and said softly, "Luoxue, we should pass on this love."

I looked up at him in confusion. He continued, "Let's set up a charity foundation to help more girls like you who need help, so that they can also feel the warmth of society and realize their dreams."

I hugged Yuxuan moved and nodded in his arms: "Yes! Let's do it together!" At that moment, I seemed to see the light of hope, illuminating the future path of life.

After the charity dinner, Yuxuan and I started to prepare for the foundation. We named the foundation "Light of Hope", which means to bring hope and light to girls in difficult situations. We invested a lot of money and energy, hoping to help more people.

Just when we were immersed in happiness and busyness, an unexpected gift broke our peaceful life. It was an anonymous email with only a photo and a sentence in it: Do you want to know your life experience? The photo showed a young woman, whose eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to mine...

The sun shines through the light pink curtains, spreading warmth throughout the room. I curl up in the soft sofa, holding a cup of steaming milk in my hand, looking at Yuxuan who is working across from me. His side profile is clear-cut as he works hard, and his occasional frowning and thinking are full of charm in my eyes.

After going through so many ups and downs, we finally ushered in our own peace and happiness. All the hurt and calculations in the past seem to have become a thing of the past. Now I just want to cherish the person in front of me and create our future with him.

"What are you thinking about?" Yuxuan put down the documents in his hand at some point and looked at me with a smile in his deep eyes.

"I'm thinking about you." I walked over with a smile and gently put my cheek on his chest. "I'm thinking about our future life and how our foundation can help more people."

"Silly girl." He ruffled my hair lovingly, "We will be happy forever."

"Yeah!" I nodded vigorously, and an unprecedented sweetness and peace surged in my heart.

However, fate always likes to play jokes on people. Just when we were immersed in happiness, a shocking discovery about my life experience once again broke our peaceful life.

That day, I was tidying up my study and accidentally found an old photo album. The cover of the album had turned yellow. I opened it carefully and found some photos of me and my "parents". In the photos, I was innocent and smiling carefree.

Looking through these photos, my thoughts went back to my childhood, which was poor but full of joy. However, as I looked at them, a strange feeling came over me. I felt that the little girl in the photo seemed a little strange to me now.

"What's wrong?" Yuxuan came over and saw the photo album in my hand and asked with concern.

I shook my head, trying to get rid of the weird feeling in my heart, and pointed at the "parents" in the photo and asked, "Yuxuan, do you think I don't look like them?"

Yuxuan took the photo album, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "How could that be? You look a lot like them, especially your eyes, they are exactly the same."

"Really?" I was a little unsure. Maybe I was overthinking it. After all, no one around me had ever said that I didn't look like my "parents" since I was a child.

I put the photo album back on the bookshelf, but accidentally touched a secret compartment. Inside the secret compartment, there was an antique wooden box. I curiously opened the box, and a document bag lay quietly inside.

For some unknown reason, I opened the file bag and took out the documents inside. What caught my eye was a paternity test report. The report showed that I had no blood relationship with the Li family...

My head buzzed, as if something had exploded. This report, like a bolt from the blue, shattered all my cognition. If I was not a child of the Li family, then who was I? Who were my biological parents? Why did they abandon me?

Countless questions swirled in my mind. I felt as if I was in a fog, unable to find my direction or see the future clearly...
