After experiencing initial twists and turns, the relationship between Suning and Chen Lijun gradually entered a stable period.

Although Chen Lijun was still concerned about the age gap between them, Su Ning's patience and sincerity made her start to seriously think about the future of this relationship.

Suning also realized that in order to make this relationship truly stable, sweet words and romantic dates alone are not enough, he needs to prove his determination with practical actions.

One day, Suning took the initiative to offer to take Chen Lijun to meet his parents.

Chen Lijun was a little surprised, but also felt Suning's seriousness.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

"Lijun, my parents have always wanted to meet you." Suning said with a smile while driving, "They were very happy to hear that I had a girlfriend. Especially when they heard that you were a Yue Opera actress, they were extremely curious."

Chen Lijun smiled slightly, but she felt a little nervous. "Suning, will your parents think I'm too young and immature?"

Su Ning shook his head, his tone firm, "No! Although the old couple has a lot of things to do, I have already decided on you in this life."

When she arrived at Suning's house, Chen Lijun met Suning's parents.

Although the two elderly people are not young, they are in good spirits and are warm and welcoming.

Suning's mother, Li Wenqin, took Chen Lijun's hand and said with a smile, "Lijun, I've heard Suning mention you for a long time, and I finally got to see you today! You're even more beautiful than I imagined."

Chen Lijun felt a little embarrassed and said softly, "Auntie, you are too kind."

Su Ning's father, Su Hanzhi, seemed more serious, but his tone was full of concern. "Lijun, I heard you're a Yue Opera actor? This job isn't easy. Is your work hard?"

Chen Lijun nodded and answered seriously, "Yes, uncle, Yue Opera performance requires a lot of practice and preparation, but I feel very fulfilled and I really like this job."

Su Ning's father, Su Hanzhi, nodded with a look of approval on his face, "It's a good thing for young people to have aspirations.

Suning, this kid, used to be all about work, but now he finally has a life of his own."

Su Ning laughed and interrupted, "Dad, please stop exposing my shortcomings. I'm balancing my career and love life right now."

The family chatted happily in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

Chen Lijun gradually relaxed and felt the warmth of the Suning family.

She found that Suning's parents did not have any prejudice against her because of her age. Instead, they showed great respect and understanding for her career and personality.

After dinner, Suning walked Chen Lijun home. On the way, Chen Lijun whispered, "Suning, thank you! Meeting your parents today, I think they are really open-minded and warm-hearted."

Su Ning held her hand and said gently, "Lijun, my parents like you very much. I also hope that you can slowly put aside your concerns and give both of us a chance."

Chen Lijun was silent for a while, and finally nodded, "Suning, I will seriously consider it. You are very good to me, and I cherish this relationship."

A few days later, Chen Lijun also decided to take Suning to meet her parents.

Her family atmosphere is completely different from Suning's. Both her parents are traditional intellectuals and attach great importance to their daughter's lifelong affairs.

Chen Lijun's mother had a polite smile on her face when she saw Suning.

But there was a trace of scrutiny in his eyes. "Suning, I heard from Lijun that you are an entrepreneur and have a very big business?"

Suning nodded modestly, "Yes, Auntie, I have tried some things in the retail industry, and it's going well so far."

Chen Lijun's father asked directly, "Suning, there's a big age gap between you and Lijun. Do you think you'll have anything in common?"

Suning was well prepared and answered seriously, "Uncle, age is indeed an objective gap, but I believe that the core of love lies in mutual understanding and tolerance.

When I was with Lijun, I never felt that age was a problem.

Also, I’m not the type of person who gets divorced and remarried. It’s just that I haven’t met someone I really like.

We have many common interests and are willing to work hard for each other’s future.”

Chen Lijun's mother nodded slightly, but her tone was still cautious. "Suning, we are not against you being together. We just hope you can understand that as parents, our biggest concern is Lijun's happiness."

Suning said solemnly, "Auntie, uncle, I understand your concerns.

I can assure you that I will do my best to take care of Lijun and give her a stable and happy future."

Chen Lijun listened from the side, feeling both moved and nervous.

She knew that although her parents were cautious, they were not completely opposed.

She looked at her parents and said softly, "Dad, Mom, Suning is very good to me. I also hope you can give him a chance."

Chen Lijun's parents looked at each other and finally smiled slightly.

The mother patted her daughter's hand and said softly, "Lijun, as long as you are happy, we are relieved."

This experience of meeting the parents has made the relationship between Su Ning and Chen Lijun more solid.

The two began to participate more in each other's lives and gradually integrated into each other's families.

Suning would accompany Chen Lijun to watch Yue Opera performances, and Chen Lijun would also accompany Suning to the supermarket on weekends and even help choose the flavors of new products.

Once, when the two were trying new products in the prepared food section of a supermarket, Chen Lijun suddenly smiled and said, "Suning, have you ever thought about developing some Yue Opera-themed foods together in the future? Like 'Yue Opera cakes' or 'West Lake snacks'?"

Su Ning's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "That's a good idea! Lijun, you are so creative.

We can combine traditional culture with modern retail to promote Yue Opera and attract more customers."

Chen Lijun smiled and nodded, "Yes, I think this is quite interesting.

Moreover, I can help with packaging and promotion.”

Su Ning held her hand, his eyes full of admiration, "Lijun, you are not only an excellent actor, but also an outstanding creative person.

With you by my side, I feel the road ahead is clearer."

The feelings between the two gradually warmed up in the little things in life.

They began planning for the future, discussing the possibility of marriage and a family.

Although the road ahead is still full of challenges, they believe that as long as they trust each other and work together, they will be able to find their own path to happiness.

……

Since the relationship between Suning and Chen Lijun gradually stabilized, the focus of Suning's life began to develop in parallel on career and love.

However, his past emotional entanglements have not completely dissipated, especially the existence of Xu Ruoyun, who has always been like an invisible thorn, reminding him of his past complicated emotional experiences from time to time.

Ever since Xu Ruoyun learned about the relationship between Su Ning and Chen Lijun, she has been unable to let it go.

She once thought that although the ambiguous relationship between her and Suning was not formal, it was at least a tacit understanding between them.

However, Suning's serious attitude towards Chen Lijun made her realize that she might never have truly entered Suning's heart.

One day, when Xu Ruoyun was having dinner with her parents at home, she couldn't help but mention Suning.

Her father, Xu Jianguo, is a well-known local entrepreneur, and her mother, Li Shuhua, is an elegant lady.

The two have always been concerned about their daughter's love life, especially for Suning, the former "potential stock", for which they had great expectations.

"Dad, Mom, do you still remember Suning?" Xu Ruoyun put down her chopsticks, her tone filled with mixed emotions.

Xu Jianguo frowned, his tone somewhat dismissive. "Suning? The guy who used to work in your company? Why are you suddenly mentioning him?"

Li Shuhua also chimed in, "Ruoyun, haven't you had no contact with him for a long time? I heard he's doing well now and has opened several supermarkets."

Xu Ruoyun nodded, a hint of regret in her tone, "Yes, he is now doing very well in his business. 'Big Man Supermarket' has opened dozens of branches across the country.

And... he has a new girlfriend, a young and beautiful Yue Opera actress."

Xu Jianguo snorted coldly, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "Humph, it's just good luck! When he first worked in your company, I thought he wouldn't amount to much.

I didn’t expect that things would turn around now.”

Li Shuhua seemed calmer and said softly, "Ruoyun, are you still unable to let him go?"

Xu Ruoyun was silent for a while, and finally nodded, "Mom, I admit that I feel a little regretful.

At first, I always felt that he was not good enough and not worthy of me.

But now, he is not only successful in his career, but also takes relationships seriously.

I...I'm a little unwilling."

When Xu Jianguo heard his daughter's words, his face turned a little ugly.

He put down his chopsticks and said sternly, "Ruoyun, what are you talking about?

How could the daughter of our Xu family regret for a former clerk?
No matter how successful Suning is, he is just a nouveau riche and cannot compare to our family's wealth."

Li Shuhua sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "Jianguo, don't say that.

We can't completely ignore Ruoyun's emotional problems.

Suning is indeed doing well now, and it is natural for Ruoyun to regret it."

Xu Ruoyun lowered her head, her voice choked, "Dad, Mom, I've actually been wondering if we were too harsh on Suning back then?

Although he didn't have much money at that time, he was very ambitious and treated me very well.

But we always measure him with realistic standards and feel that he is not qualified.

Now thinking about it, maybe we were wrong.”

"..." Xu Jianguo's face became even uglier when he heard his daughter's words.

He has always had a high opinion of himself and believes that his judgment will never be wrong.

But now, Suning’s success is undoubtedly a negation of his judgment.

He was silent for a while, and finally said, "Ruoyun, don't let your imagination run wild.

Suning’s success is simply due to catching the trend.

Who knows whether the source of his funds is clean?

Maybe there's something shameful going on behind the scenes." Xu Ruoyun shook her head and said firmly, "Dad, I've checked.

Suning's funding sources are very transparent. His business plan has been recognized by foreign investment banks, and the funds are raised through formal channels.

Moreover, his business model is also very healthy. He built his own product line and food factory step by step.”

Li Shuhua's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. "Ruoyun, are you saying... Suning's success is entirely due to his own ability?"

Xu Ruoyun nodded, with a hint of bitterness in her tone, “Yes, Mom.

He is not only successful in his career now, but also takes relationships seriously.

His relationship with the Yue Opera actress was very stable, and they had even met each other's parents.

I...I really regret not cherishing him well back then."

After hearing this, Xu Jianguo finally fell silent.

He realized that he might have really underestimated Suning's abilities.

Li Shuhua patted her daughter's hand gently and said softly, "Ruoyun, let the past be the past!
The most important thing for you now is to look forward and find your own happiness."

Xu Ruoyun nodded, but the disappointment in her eyes was still hard to conceal.

She knew that she had missed Suning and perhaps it would be impossible to get it back.

Xu Jianguo fell into deep thought. He began to reflect on his past attitude towards Suning and whether it was really too harsh and realistic.

A few days later, Xu Jianguo met Suning by chance at a business gathering.

Although the two had crossed paths before, their identities and status have changed dramatically now.

When Su Ning saw Xu Jianguo, he greeted him politely, "Uncle Xu, long time no see."

Xu Jianguo nodded, with a hint of complicated emotions in his tone, "Suning, I heard that you are doing well now."

Su Ning smiled slightly and said modestly, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xu. It's just good luck."

Xu Jianguo was silent for a while, and finally said, "Suning, I may have misunderstood what happened between Ruoyun and you.

I hope you don’t take it to heart.”

Su Ning shook his head and said calmly, "Boss Xu, let the past be the past!
I am living a good life now, and I hope Ruoyun can find her own happiness."

"..." Xu Jianguo felt complicated when he heard this.

He realized that Suning's maturity and magnanimity far exceeded his expectations.

And he himself may have really missed the opportunity to establish a deeper relationship with this young man.

At the same time, Xu Ruoyun was also reflecting on her past.

She began to realize that her harshness and realism towards Suning might be the reason why she lost him.

She decided to let go of the past and start her life anew.

……

After quickly resolving all the troubles, Suning and Chen Lijun finally got together.

Then Suning held a grand wedding.

Suning and Chen Lijun's wedding was scheduled for a sunny autumn day.

On this day, the luxurious hotel by the West Lake was decorated like a dream, with white gauze curtains dancing in the wind, flowers covering the entire venue, and the air filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and the scent of happiness.

The theme of the wedding was "Love in West Lake", which not only fits the place where the two met and fell in love, but also symbolizes the purity and beauty of their love.

The guests arrived at the venue early. Celebrities from all walks of life, business elites, and Yue Opera artists gathered together, making the scene grand and solemn.

Suning's parents and Chen Lijun's parents sat at the main table, their faces filled with gratified smiles.

Especially Chen Lijun's parents, although they had some concerns about Su Ning's age at first, after spending some time together, they were moved by Su Ning's sincerity and sense of responsibility and completely accepted this son-in-law.

Before the wedding officially began, the big screen in the venue played the details of the two people's acquaintance and love.

From the scene where Suning first met Chen Lijun at a Yue Opera performance, to the heartwarming moments when the two of them toured the West Lake, tasted tea, and went shopping in the supermarket together, every frame was filled with sweetness and happiness.

The guests looked at the screen and marveled at the couple's fate and compatibility.

As the melodious music sounded, the wedding ceremony officially began.

Chen Lijun, wearing a pure white wedding dress and holding flowers, walked slowly towards the stage.

Her wedding dress was tailor-made by a well-known designer. It is simple yet elegant. The hem of the dress is embroidered with exquisite Yue Opera elements, which not only shows her professional identity, but also symbolizes the unique mark of her love with Suning.

Her appearance made all the guests hold their breath, as if they saw a fairy walking out of a painting.

Suning stood in the center of the stage, wearing a well-tailored black suit, his eyes gentle and firm.

He watched Chen Lijun walk towards him step by step, and his heart was filled with endless emotion and happiness.

When Chen Lijun walked in front of him, he gently held her hand and whispered, "Lijun, you are so beautiful today."

Chen Lijun smiled slightly, tears of happiness gleaming in her eyes, "Suning, thank you for giving me such a wonderful wedding."

The host of the wedding was naturally Suning’s good friend Huang Weiye.

His humorous opening remarks made the atmosphere light and pleasant.

Then he solemnly announced, "Now, please ask the bride and groom to exchange rings and make their lifelong commitment."

Su Ning took the ring from the best man and gently put it on Chen Lijun's ring finger. He said affectionately, "Lijun, from today on, I will spend my whole life protecting you and accompanying you. No matter how many storms the future holds, I will walk hand in hand with you."

Chen Lijun also put the ring on his finger, her voice gentle but firm, "Suning, I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you. Whether you are poor or rich, healthy or sick, I will always be by your side and never leave you."

The couple's vows moved all the guests present, and many of them had tears in their eyes.

Chen Lijun's parents, in particular, were both relieved and reluctant to see their daughter find such an excellent home.

After the rings were exchanged, host Huang Weiye announced, "Now, the groom can kiss the bride!"

Su Ning gently held Chen Lijun's face and kissed her tenderly.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and all the blessings and applause became the testimony of their love.

The wedding dinner was held in a joyful atmosphere.

Suning and Chen Lijun toasted together to thank every guest for coming.

During the banquet, Chen Lijun's friends from the Yue Opera circle specially took the stage to perform a classic Yue Opera excerpt, adding a strong cultural atmosphere to the wedding.

Suning’s business friends raised their glasses to wish the newlyweds a happy marriage and a prosperous career.

After the dinner, the wedding entered the final carnival phase.

The guests danced to their heart's content on the dance floor, and laughter filled the entire venue.

Suning and Chen Lijun also joined the dance floor and danced to the music.

Although their dancing steps were not very skillful, the love in each other's eyes made their dance particularly moving.

As the night deepened and everyone was asleep, the wedding gradually came to an end.

Suning and Chen Lijun stood on the hotel terrace, overlooking the night view of West Lake.

The stars are reflected on the lake surface, and the breeze brings coolness.

Chen Lijun leaned on Su Ning's shoulder and whispered, "Su Ning, today is the happiest day of my life."

Su Ning put his arm around her shoulders and responded gently, "Lijun, this is just the beginning of our happiness.

Every day in the future, I will make you feel the happiness of today."

Chen Lijun raised her head, looked into Su Ning's eyes, and smiled slightly. "I believe in you! Let's work together to create a bright future for ourselves."

Su Ning nodded, his eyes full of determination, "Okay, let's go together."

At this moment, the two people's hearts are closely connected. Although the road ahead is long, they believe that as long as they join hands with each other, they will be able to go further and more steadily.

After the wedding, Suning and Chen Lijun started their honeymoon.

They chose Europe as their destination, from romantic Paris to classical Rome, from quiet Swiss towns to warm Spanish beaches, each stop left their happy footprints.

After returning to China, Suning and Chen Lijun's lives gradually returned to normal, but their happiness never diminished.

Chen Lijun continued her Yue Opera career, while Suning focused on the further development of the "Big Man Supermarket".

The two support and encourage each other in life and become each other's strongest backing.

A year later, Chen Lijun became pregnant.

This news made both families ecstatic, especially Suning's parents, who had finally been waiting for the arrival of their grandchildren.

Su Ning was even more excited. He took care of Chen Lijun carefully, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable.

The birth of the child makes the family more complete.

Suning held the little baby in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness and emotion.

He whispered to Chen Lijun, "Lijun, thank you for giving me a complete family."

Chen Lijun looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of happiness, "Suning, this is our common happiness."

From then on, Suning and Chen Lijun's life became more fulfilling and beautiful.

With their efforts and love, they wrote a happy legend of their own.
