After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

Watching Xia Yu leave in a taxi.

Jiang Ye stood on the steps at the entrance of the inn, his hands in his pockets, his eyes following the black sedan.

Jiang Ye remained standing there, motionless, until the car's taillights disappeared completely into the night and even the dust he had kicked up settled back to the ground.

He felt a little uneasy.

The feeling was like drinking a cup of unsweetened black coffee; the bitter taste spread across the tip of the tongue and lingered in the heart.

He turned around and walked back to the courtyard of the inn.

The yard was empty except for the heavy ADV motorcycle, which sat there quietly, like a lone wolf that had lost its mate.

Jiang Ye walked to the motorcycle, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.

The crimson cigarette butt glowed intermittently in the night. He took a deep drag, the acrid smoke irritating his lungs.

Jiang Ye frowned, watching the wisps of smoke he exhaled dissipate into the air.

Why does my mindset seem to have changed after Xia Yu's arrival, even though I was having a great motorcycle trip?

He came out this time in search of freedom.

In Hanzhou, in the Shen family, he suppressed his feelings for seven whole years.

He was like an eagle trapped in a cage, facing Shen Qinghan's sarcasm and the scorn and scheming of the Shen family every day.

With great difficulty, he broke free from the cage and reclaimed everything that belonged to him.

He hopped on his motorcycle and headed south.

He wanted to see all the most beautiful scenery in the world and experience the thrill of speed and freedom.

He did it a few days ago.

He rode alone on the highway, eating meat heartily and drinking wine from large bowls. He would help those in need whenever he encountered injustice, living like a chivalrous knight-errant who lived a life of chivalry and vengeance.

But... ever since Xia Yu suddenly appeared at this inn yesterday.

Everything has changed.

His emotions began to be swayed by this woman.

I was overjoyed by her arrival, went crazy because of her body, felt heartbroken because of her tears, and now I feel lost because of her departure.

That pure sense of freedom that originally belonged to one person seems to have been shattered.

Jiang Ye leaned against the motorcycle's fuel tank, tilted his head back, and looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky.

If Xia Yu didn't have so much work pressure, wouldn't it be great if she could travel around with me?

If Xia Yu weren't the president of Blue Ocean Group.

If she were just an ordinary woman.

They can ride this motorcycle together, through mountains and across rivers.

During the day, they can, like this afternoon, seek out ancient temples hidden deep in the mountains and listen to the soul-stirring chants.

At night, they can find a quiet inn and sleep in each other's arms.

There are no endless reports, no endless meetings, and no backstabbing or scheming.

There is only the wind, only freedom, only each other.

How good should that be?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye felt somewhat dazed again.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to drive these unrealistic fantasies out of his mind.

Jiang Ye stubbed out his cigarette, his gaze becoming somewhat lost.

During his motorcycle trip, he had been longing for the desolate wilderness.

That was a place that only existed in his imagination.

There is no worldly disturbance, no entanglement of interests, only the purest tranquility and freedom.

but.

Where exactly is my own Cloud Wilderness Realm?

Is it a specific snow-capped mountain? A vast lake? Or some unknown border town?

Moreover, even if he finds the Cloud Wasteland, will there be a woman by his side?

……

at the same time.

Hanzhou, a thousand miles away.

This bustling metropolis is currently surrounded by dazzling neon lights and a cacophony of traffic.

In the city center, at Hang Lung Shopping Center, the most upscale shopping mall in Hanju.

Under the huge dome of the atrium on the first floor, people thronged.

Gu Ziming has been very attentive lately.

Since Jiang Ye left the Shen family, Gu Ziming has almost regarded the Shen family as his second home.

Every day, he would prepare various nourishing soups for Shen Qinghan, showing her great care and concern.

Not only that, he was also very good to Shen Xinyu.

He picks her up from kindergarten every day, buys her all sorts of expensive imported toys and limited-edition princess dresses, and even if Shen Xinyu casually mentions wanting to eat pastries from the south of the city, he will personally drive across half the city to buy them.

Gu Ziming is now practically the perfect prospective son-in-law for the Shen family.

Today, Gu Ziming has meticulously prepared a grand spectacle.

The atrium of Hang Lung Plaza has been transformed into a sea of ​​flowers.

Ninety-nine roses were arranged to form a giant heart shape.

Shen Qinghan was originally invited out by Gu Ziming under the pretext of "going out to relax and buy some maternity clothes".

When she was led by Gu Ziming to the railing on the second floor of the courtyard.

Gu Ziming stood up, holding a bouquet of the most beautiful roses in his hands, and walked to Shen Qinghan under the gaze of everyone present.

He knelt on one knee and took out an exquisite velvet box from his pocket.

It opened with a "click".

Inside is a pink diamond ring.

"We missed seven years."

"In these seven years, I have regretted it every moment and thought about you every moment."

"Now, God has finally given me a chance to take care of you again."

"Marry me, Qinghan. Let me take care of you, take care of Xinyu, and... our unborn child."

The surrounding crowd instantly erupted in cheers.

"Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!"

The deafening cheers and applause enveloped Shen Qinghan like waves.

Shen Qinghan was moved.

She looked at Gu Ziming kneeling in front of her, and at the sparkling diamond ring, her eyes slightly reddening.

What woman could resist such a grand and incredibly romantic proposal?

Moreover, with her pregnancy and the baby growing day by day, she couldn't be without a legitimate father.

Shen Qinghan took a deep breath and extended her slender right hand.

"I do."

She said softly.

A wildly joyful smile instantly bloomed on Gu Ziming's face.

He eagerly slipped the pink diamond ring onto Shen Qinghan's ring finger, then stood up and pulled her into a tight embrace.

……

After the proposal.

Gu Ziming drove Shen Qinghan's Porsche Panamera and took her back to the villa.

Soft music played in the carriage.

"Zi Mo." Shen Qinghan turned her head and looked at Gu Zi Mo, who was driving, and said softly, "Now that we're engaged, why don't you... move in with us?"

Shen Qinghan's idea was very simple.

She's pregnant now, and her morning sickness is getting worse; she needs someone to take care of her. Besides, having Gu Ziming move in sooner will help Xinyu adjust to her new father more quickly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ziming's grip on the steering wheel tightened suddenly. A fleeting, almost imperceptible look of panic flashed across his eyes.

"Qinghan, this...this isn't quite right, is it?"

Gu Ziming chuckled dryly, his gaze fixed on the road ahead, avoiding direct eye contact with Shen Qinghan.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qinghan frowned slightly.

"Look, although we're engaged, we haven't had a formal wedding yet."

"The Shen family is a prominent and influential family in Hanzhou. If I move in without any official status, it will damage your reputation."

"Besides, our wedding is only a few months away. Why don't we move in together after the wedding?"

Shen Qinghan found it somewhat strange.

In her memory, Gu Ziming was very open-minded when he was abroad. How come he has suddenly become so conservative and traditional?

Moreover, he usually stays at the Shen family's house until midnight without leaving, but now that they've asked him to move in directly, he's refused.

However, she didn't think much of it. Shen Qinghan felt that Gu Ziming's words made some sense.

"Alright then, I'll do as you say." Shen Qinghan nodded and didn't insist any further.
