Yu Lian raised her hand, revealing a pair of plain rings, each worn on one of their ring fingers.

"Knowing you don't like mushy talk, I secretly put it on you directly."

Yu Lian looked at the new wedding rings and a smile appeared on her face. She reached out and took out a necklace from around her neck.

She was wearing a ring.

He Lin recognized it at first glance as the ring he had given her many years ago.

Because of this ring, he had the first crazy desire to possess Yu Lian.

Not long after the ring was taken out, Yu Lian began to doubt her own eyes.

He Lin's eyes shone brightly, and behind her, under the colorful lights, her tears gleamed.

"What's in your eyes?"

He Lin didn't say anything, but forcefully pulled her slender waist and kissed her.

Yu Lian was caught off guard when the man pulled her into his arms and sealed her lips with a kiss.

During the process, warm liquid dripped onto her face.

For the first time, Yu Lian felt curious about a man's tears.

She slowly broke free from He Lin's temporary possessiveness and reached out to stroke his cheek.

After the kiss ended, He Lin's tears had already been carried away by the gentle breeze.

Yu Lian looked at him without saying anything. She had only kept a ring, so why was he reacting so strongly?

"Is this ring important?"

"Of course it's important. This is the first time I've clearly felt love for someone, and it's proof that I still love you. These two rings not only witness our past but will also welcome our future."

He Lin spoke eloquently, but in reality, he was moved by her decision to keep the ring. However, in order not to lose face in front of his woman, he only said some polite words.

"He Lin, thank you for always liking me. I will try my best to catch up with you."

Yu Lian couldn't guarantee that she could give as much as He Lin.

She was aware of her own slowness and selfishness. Seeing his efforts, she naturally wanted to try to keep up with him.

He Lin put his arm around Yu Lian's waist, and the two continued walking forward in this position.

The sea breeze was unusually gentle today, so much so that a smile remained on his lips. "No need, just take one step, and I'll take care of the rest."

Knowing that Yu Lian wasn't the type to only take one step, he added, "Of course, I'm willing to cooperate with you if you take a few more steps."

Looking at He Lin, who was completely absorbed in the moment, Yu Lian took a deep breath and made a decision in her heart.

"Okay, then I'll walk a few more steps, at least to be side by side with you."

No sooner had he said that than the man suddenly pulled out a small bunch of red roses from somewhere.

"So, Ms. Yu Lian, my dearest love, will you accept my marriage proposal?"

Yu Lian naturally leaned against the railing, with the calm sea behind her.

The streets are bustling with traffic; the city is still awake.

The lights were so bright that she couldn't open her eyes.

In the fragrant air, her eyes burned with desire, and her breath trembled slightly, carrying the sweet scent of roses.

He Lin's actions quickly attracted the attention of passersby, and as more and more people stopped to watch, Yu Lian gradually pulled herself back to her senses.

"I do, He Lin, I do want to marry you."

The unexpected marriage proposal ended perfectly, with the result that He Lin was most satisfied with.

Yu Lian disliked being watched by others, so after accepting He Lin's marriage proposal, she pulled him through the crowd and walked quickly forward.

All she wants now is to go home and see her children.

He Lin was clearly overjoyed, and on the way back, Yu Lian didn't dare let him drive, so she took on the role of driver herself.

An hour later, the car stopped in front of the villa. As Yu Lian was closing the garage door, He Lin suddenly hugged her from behind.

He kissed the back of her neck gently and restrainedly.

It was nearly midnight, and the only sounds in the entire community were a few cat meows.

The garage door was quickly closed, isolating them from the outside world.

Little did they know that the entire scene they had just witnessed had been seen by others.

Li Yanshen looked at them forlornly, then closed the door and returned to his bedroom.

He chuckled bitterly in the darkness, his gaze finally settling on the blue medicine bottle on the bedside table.

This was his only secret, and the root of his suffering.

His recent intimacy almost made him forget his place.

Now that he's come to his senses, he knows he should just watch quietly.

His already rotten life shouldn't ruin other people's happiness.

I was born a monster, and I'm tainted with bad luck; whoever gets close to me will suffer.

"Heh...heh..." Li Yanshen chuckled self-deprecatingly, then returned to the dimly lit room and lay down.

Insomnia tormented him; even when he lay with his eyes closed, he could still hear all sorts of sounds, especially the frantic pounding of his heart.

As he struggled with insomnia, the phone rang.

The ringing phone made his heart rate even more erratic. It took him a while to calm down before he sat up to answer the phone.

After the call was connected, a barrage of insults immediately followed.

The receiver was filled with all sorts of offensive and insulting words, as well as undisguised belittling and humiliation.

An ordinary person might have already started arguing with the other party, but for Li Yanshen, who was already numb, these words were just going in one ear and out the other.

After the other person had vented their anger, he calmly spoke.

"There was never any guarantee of complete success to begin with. If people's emotions can be so easily controlled by others, why did you even put me in this position?"

The other side naturally wouldn't let him gain the upper hand; after the insults came an even more serious threat.

Li Yanshen's face was expressionless, but the bulging veins on his clenched fists betrayed his emotions.

"I know, didn't you say there were still 6 years left?"

A sneer came from the other end. "I do have six years, but remember this: I'm giving you two more years. If you can't make it, you and your son will go to hell together!"

Hell isn't scary, Li Yanshen thought to himself.

What's terrifying are the living people, the living people who have lost their minds and become insane.

After hanging up the phone, he could no longer fall asleep. He went straight to the balcony and looked down from the second floor.

My first thought was: He's too short, he won't die.

After a long while, he finally looked away, sat down on the recliner, and stared at the light opposite him.

Even after a long time had passed and the lights had been turned off, he was still staring at that spot.

It's as if they're trying to stare a hole through that wall.

the next day.

Yu Lian got up with great energy.

The company's anniversary celebration is not yet over, and even if her relationship with He Lin progresses further, she will not succumb to it.

Company matters remain the top priority.

So no matter how much He Lin pleaded or tempted her last night, she refused, and her attitude was firm and left no room for negotiation.

That's why I have the energy to handle business so early in the morning.

Good morning, Mom!

Under her guidance, the children are now able to make their own breakfasts using ingredients they have prepared in advance.

This gave Yu Lian a great sense of accomplishment and saved her a lot of energy.

"Good morning, kids. When you start the fire, please be careful and let your big brother help you."

"Don't worry, Mom, your older brother is really amazing."

Many hands make light work, and soon even she got a simple breakfast.

Milk, bacon, fried eggs, and bread slices.

Yu Lian thanked the children with satisfaction.

She had just taken a bite when the second bite was snatched away by the man who attacked from behind.

Yu Lian put down the bread, seemingly not yet in the zone.

"Here you go, eat more so you don't go hungry."

He Lin immediately saw through it; his wife was disgusted with him.

Feeling wronged but also driven by a strong desire for revenge, He Lin resolutely devised a plan in his mind.
