St. Anne's Psychological Counseling Center.

Jiang Li stopped in front of an office door, turned her head to look at Xie Huaichu, and said, "Xie Huaichu, can you wait for me outside for a moment?"

Xie Huaichu nodded. "Okay."

Jiang Li gently knocked on the office door, and only entered after receiving permission.

Xie Huaichu glanced at the name of the attending physician posted on the wall next to the office—Chen Shuang—and couldn't help but smile slightly.

It turned out to be an old acquaintance.

In the office, Jiang Li told Chen Shuang about her recent situation in detail, her brows still furrowed with worry.

"Dr. Chen, will my illness continue to recur?"

“Ah Li, actually your illness is under very good control.” Chen Shuang pushed up the frames of her glasses.

"Based on what you've said, your biggest problem lies in your own mind."

"You have to try to get out of this yourself. Only when you open your heart can you be completely healed."

Jiang Li pursed her lips, as if she had made a big decision, and then spoke again.

"If, and I mean if, I accept the person I love and we have a child, will this illness affect the child?"

Chen Shuang shook her head. "A good, healing boyfriend would be twice as effective for your condition."

"Since you have this idea, why not open your heart and accept him?"

"Don't always dwell on the past, and don't confine yourself to that small world and imprison yourself."

"You should be brave enough to explore new things and treat everyone around you equally, especially your lover."

Even after hearing Chen Shuang's words, Jiang Li still couldn't shake off her worries.

"If that's the case, why would I still do things that involve self-harm?"

"That's because your heart has never been fully opened. You resist unfamiliar external factors and are unwilling to accept them."

"You're afraid you'll be a stain on their reputation, and even more afraid you'll hurt them."

"So you try every means to lock yourself in a predicament and lick your wounds alone."

"The more this happens, the harder your illness will be to control."

"The best way is to accept, to bravely accept that person, to accept their goodness, understand?"

Seeing Jiang Li remain silent, Chen Shuang went a step further, "Li, the fact that you took the initiative to come to me today to consult on these issues proves that the person in your heart has become a part of your life."

"You've already started to depend on him and gotten used to having him around, so be bold and let go and love him."

"I..." Jiang Li seemed a little hesitant.

Chen Shuang smiled slightly, "Let me guess, that person should be right outside the door, right?"

Jiang Li nodded, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Mmm."

"Then let him in. I also want to see what kind of person could make our Ali care so much."

Jiang Li got up, opened the door, and walked in hand in hand with Xie Huaichu.

"Huai Chu?!" Chen Shuang was extremely surprised to see Xie Huai Chu, but quickly understood.

"No wonder Ali fell in love. It turns out that this brat stole our Ali away."

Xie Huaichu looked at the person beside him with affection, his voice gentle, "It wasn't kidnapping, it was love at first sight."

On the way back, Xie Huaichu briefly told Jiang Li about his relationship with Chen Shuang.

Chen Shuang was Xie Huaichu's senior. Xie Huaichu had attended her psychology lectures, and she had also published and defended many papers on psychology.

Xie Huaichu greatly respected and admired her for being both talented and hardworking.

"I see." Jiang Li sat in the passenger seat, and Xie Huaichu casually handed her a bottle of AD calcium milk. Jiang Li felt a little awkward.

"Isn't this something only kids drink?" Xie Huaichu reached out and touched her hair. "From now on, you'll be my little one, and I'll spoil you for the rest of my life."

When the green light came on, Xie Huaichu started the car and continued forward.

Jiang Li held the bottle of calcium milk, slowly sucking on it, a joyful smile curving her lips.

"Xie Huaichu, shall I take you to meet my mother?"

Perhaps it was Chen Shuang's words that touched her heartstrings, and Jiang Li decided to let go of all those unpleasant experiences.

She truly needs to open her arms to embrace the sun of hope, and at the same time, to welcome her own rebirth.

Upon hearing this, a look of shock appeared in Xie Huaichu's eyes, then he happily took her hand and said in a trembling voice, "Okay."

cemetery.

Xie Huaichu looked at the photo and name on the tombstone, and the shock washed over him once again.

Jiang Wangyue.

What a beautiful name, just like her.

"Isn't my mom beautiful?" Jiang Li said proudly, looking at the person in the photo.

"Yes, very pretty." Xie Huaichu turned his head to look at her, and when he noticed the girl's red eyes, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently wiping away her tears.

"Silly boy, don't cry. Otherwise, Mommy will feel sorry for you."

Jiang Li sniffed and glared at him playfully, "That's my mother, what are you calling her?"

Xie Huaichu pinched her cheek, his eyes full of tenderness, "In the near future, she will also be my mother."

At this point, he put his arm around Jiang Li's shoulder, turned around to look at Jiang Wangyue's photo, and said sincerely.

"Auntie, I am Xie Huaichu. I like your daughter Ali and hope you can agree to let me marry her."

"I will protect her, cherish her, and love her with my life."

"Please entrust her to me with peace of mind. I will cherish her along with your love."

After speaking, Xie Huaichu bowed deeply to Jiang Wangyue's photo.

Jiang Li quickly looked up at the sky to stop her tears from falling.

She naturally took Xie Huaichu's hand, her face beaming with a smile. "Mom, he's silly and naive, and incredibly stubborn, like a bull."

"However, he is really, really good to me, so Mom, you will also bless us, right?"

It was nearly evening when the two left. Jiang Li seemed to have made up her mind. Instead of rushing home, she asked Xie Huaichu to drive to the park next to Repulse Bay.

"Shall we take a walk together?" She turned to look at him, seeking his opinion.

"it is good."

The two walked hand in hand along the tree-lined path. Jiang Li gazed at the afterglow of the sun, her thoughts drifting to distant places.

"As far back as I can remember, my mother has always been a very gentle person."

“I have never seen her have a conflict with anyone, and she is always the same gentle and polite person to everyone.”

“That person used to love my mother very much, and the three of us were living a happy life.”

"But that warm and happy life didn't last long. As the old saying goes, men with money go bad, and he couldn't escape this worldly truth either."

"As his business grew, his mindset also changed a lot."

“He no longer comes home on time every day to have dinner with my mother and me, nor does he try to create romance and surprises for my mother.”

“But my mother never complained. Even though she knew he was having an affair, she never argued with him.”

"Later, he developed a gambling addiction, frequently frequenting various places, gambling for ten days or half a month at a time, and sometimes not being seen for several months in a row."

“My mother has tried to persuade him many times, but he won’t listen. He even complains that my mother is meddling and interfering with his freedom.”
