She regretted her long period of self-imposed confinement, which had prevented her from seeing her own heart clearly for many years.

They also can't see other people's hearts clearly.

Despite his ambiguous attitude, He Lin silently persevered during the days she was away.

Yu Lian even considered backing out, saying, "Lanlan, haven't I let your brother down too much?"

He Xinglan frowned slightly. "Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? Before you officially decide to be with my brother, all his efforts are one-sided. You don't need to feel pressured."

"His devotion to you is voluntary. You don't need to put yourself in a shackle just because of the energy and emotions he invests. Sister-in-law, think more about yourself and be more careful. Even if you are a mother and a wife, you are still yourself at heart. The fact that my brother is willing to make sacrifices means that you deserve it."

He Xinglan realized she had said too much and pulled Yu Lian upstairs.

"I want to see more..."

"Sister-in-law, there will be plenty of time to think about it carefully later. Come upstairs with me first."

I quickly walked up to the second floor, and to my surprise, the second floor was not laid out in the usual way; there was a lot of empty space.

Judging from He Xinglan's excited tone, there must be an even bigger surprise waiting for her.

She quickly pulled back the heavy curtains and pushed her sister-in-law to the window.

Behind the main building is a huge garden, and below that is the other half of what was once a manor, now transformed into a commercial town.

Beyond that lies the calm sea.

"Sister-in-law, do you remember? That book, 'Walking in the Rain'?"

The familiar name brought Yu Lian's thoughts back to the time when her family was still working at the Red Star Farm.

Those days were fulfilling and full of hope.

Most of her memories of the farm are of being busy.

After the relationship between the farm and the He family improved, there was some free time.

One spring, a strong wind blew outside and dust filled the air. Because people couldn't work, everyone stayed indoors.

It was at this moment that He Xinglan started talking about some books she had read before.

She misses the books that were burned.

A book translated as "Walking in the Rain" caught Yu Lian's attention.

As soon as He Xinglan began to speak, Yu Lian was irrevocably drawn into the story.

The story is about a confused young girl who inherits a garden left by her grandmother.

From beginning to end, the female protagonist did only one thing: create a garden and a place to live that belonged to her.

Although the content may seem ordinary, this book can truly bring healing and peace to its readers.

Yu Lian remembered most clearly the part where He Xinglan talked about the completion of the garden.

At that moment, she had a general idea of ​​what a garden would look like, and on a whim, she even picked up a pen and sketched a simple outline.

Looking at the garden before her, which was exactly the same as the sketch, Yu Lian didn't know how to react.

"Lanlan, how did your brother find out?"

"Sister-in-law, ever since you've gotten rid of the rift with your family, especially after you went through that brush with death, haven't you noticed that your relationship with my brother has become more and more harmonious? He doesn't like to show it, but he cares about you a lot in private. That sketch should be in his study. You can look for it when you go home sometime."

Just then, the person who bought the ice cream returned.

He Xinglan just mentioned it casually, but unexpectedly, the group actually managed to buy it.

"Want some?"

Yu Lian took the ice cream He Lin handed her and took a small bite.

A cool sensation spreads across the tip of the tongue, followed closely by a sweet taste that fills the entire mouth.

Yu Lian handed it to He Lin, "You eat it, it's too cold."

He Lin took it and then slowly took a bite.

This almost made Xue Ci drop the ice cream she was holding.

He quietly pulled He Xinglan outside the door.

"Why are you being so secretive?"

"Can you help me remember if I've ever done or said anything inappropriate to my sister-in-law before?"

He Xinglan found it amusing. "Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Do you think my brother cares about my sister-in-law?"

Xue Ci shook his head, "That's secondary. We'll be family after we get married, but obviously the head of the family will be my sister-in-law. I used to think Brother Lin was so impressive, but now it seems he's just my sister-in-law's lackey..."

These words made He Xinglan laugh so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

It's not his fault; she rarely mentions the time her family spent at the Red Star Farm.

"This matter is quite complicated, but remember one thing: without your sister-in-law, there would be no He family today."

This statement is not an exaggeration at all, and the He family genuinely believes it as well.

From initial dislike to mutual suspicion, and finally to treating each other as family, they went through a long period of time together.

Even as time washes away every minute, it cannot change the He family's love and gratitude for Yu Lian.

Because the couple had gone through so much and were finally close to getting married, Li Ying hadn't stopped for many days.

She insisted on doing some of the tedious and trivial tasks that could have been delegated to her subordinates herself.

Even she had forgotten how many days it had been since she had stepped into her once favorite Buddhist temple.

The changes brought about by Yu Lian are profoundly reflected in every member of the He family.

The second-floor balcony door opened, and amidst the children's exclamations, Yu Lian turned to the man standing beside her and said, "He Lin, thank you."

"Thank me for what?" The man suddenly wanted to tease her when she was being serious.

Thank you for liking me.

When He Lin heard her say she liked him, she vehemently denied it, saying, "I don't like you at all."

Yu Lian spoke earnestly to him, but He Lin treated her this way.

Before embarrassment and surprise could even creep onto her face, his next words completely dispelled them.

"Ms. Yu Lian, please face my feelings for you. My feelings for you are not just simple liking, but a love that transcends life and death, a love that will never change until death. Even if my body disappears, my heart that loves you will beat forever."

As he spoke, He Lin cupped her face in his hands and asked, "So, Ms. Yu Lian, will you marry me?"

Yu Lian thought he had forgotten that she had accepted his marriage proposal at the beach that day.

She raised her hand, revealing the ring on her finger.

"I agree, are you too busy to handle anything?"

He Lin freed one hand and held her right hand, which was adorned with a ring, tightly. "So you won't regret it, right? There's less than a week left. Before the wedding, you can change your mind anytime. I love you, but I will always respect your choice."

When He Lin said this, he blinked, and those who knew him knew that he was lying.

Yu Lian happened to know about this little habit of his.

He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Alright, alright, adults don't take back what they've done. I've already thought about the consequences since I agreed, and I absolutely won't turn back."

The children turned around and saw their parents hugging each other not far away.

Actually, the others had noticed it long ago, but the older brother stopped them from going up to disturb them.

When the time was right, he nodded and let them pass.

"Mommy and Daddy, I want a hug too."

He Lin had barely made his refusal gesture when Yu Lian's coughing followed.

"Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

He Lin stiffly reached out and picked up the two children.

Previously, Yu Lian had followed Jasmine's advice and discussed the issue of having children with He Lin.

Regardless of the negotiation process, He Lin eventually agreed to her request.

Learn how to get along with your child and give him plenty of fatherly love.

Yu Lian is patient and believes she has the ability to help him get along well with the child.
