Chapter 435: The End (4)

Zhou Dayuan closed his eyes. He buried his head into her tender neck as he sniffed her fragrance. “Nothing much. You are my wife. I will hug you when I want to.”

Jian Han broke into a large smile. How could she not hear the childishness in his tone just now.

“Yes, I am your wife. No one is snatching me away from you. ” She coaxed him just as if he were a child.

Zhou Dayuan snorted, and he came close to kiss her small, clean face as he said, “Wifey, would you despise me then?”

“Huh?” Jian Han stopped watering the plants, and she turned back to look at him.

“Wifey, I am my grandfather’s son. I am an illegitimate son. My mum was in the industry, and she had me for money. It turned out that nobody hoped for me to be born in this world. I was merely a chess piece from the moment I was born.”

There was shock in Jian Han’s eyes. Actually since the day that she found out that Ning Qing’s mother had the same allergy of balloon flowers as him, she had also guessed it roughly, but her guess proved to be right, and she still felt shocked.

Zhou Dayuan turned her soft and fragrant petite figure around. Her back was against the balcony, and he stretched out an arm to block her, to prevent her from touching the cold railing. He curled his other arm around her soft waist. He closed his eyes and used his nose to nudge her, then used his thin lips to go onto her red lips.

He did not want to do anything at all in that moment, and only wanted to hug her silently.

Jian Han stretched her two small hands to cup his handsome face. She smiled and said, “It is even better this way. In the future, no one will look down on my background again and say that I do not match you.”

Zhou Dayuan opened his eyes slowly. He looked at the woman’s gentle, almond-shaped eyes. Her eyes were full of pity for him.

He nodded his head, and there was a warm smile on his face. “Yeah, this time, I’m the one who doesn’t suit you. I’m the one out of your league.”

Jian Han broke out into a smile. She stretched her hand out to hug his muscular chest. “Hubby, no one is able to determine their family background , but we can choose how we want to lead our lives. Grandpa and Grandma pampered you so much in the past. Ning Qing and Aunty have done this for you. All of them have treated you as family, furthermore, who said nobody anticipated your birth? If you were not born, would I have such a good husband, and would our baby have such a good father?”

Zhou Dayuan resolutely kissed her hair. He understood. He understood everything. He was already at this age. Identity and family background were all a formality. He was only a little upset and merely wanted to get some warmth and comfort from her.

“Yeah, I am unable to be fussy with what has happened in the past. I would also not do so. I only want you. With the family that you give me, with the son that you give birth to for me, and also the love that you give me, I am satisfied.”

Jian Han lifted her head. She kissed his jaw. Silly boy; he was really a big silly fella.

Actually he was very similar to her. In this large earth, they were all lonely as they were only left with one another, but they were satisfied as long as they had one another. They would not trade it in for the entire world if they were offered it.

Jian Han felt sweet inside her heart. She knew that he would get over it quickly with his character, and she suddenly noticed that he always called their child a son. Was he so sure that she had a boy inside her belly?

Whether it was a son or a daughter, she’d love the child.

Their warm little family of three.

They embraced one another for a moment, and Jian Han’s almond shaped eyes froze. She stretched her hand out to push the man away. “Dayuan, I forgot to water the cactus plant. When I woke up this morning, I saw that the cactus was a little wilted. I am going to take the watering can to bring some water over.”

Jian Han headed in the direction of the washroom.

Zhou Dayuan froze entirely in his original spot. He looked at the pot of the cactus on the balcony, and also the small watering can that she’d already half emptied.

At this moment, Jian Han snuck her small head out. She asked, “Hubby, did you see my watering can? I remembered that I left it on the sink just now…”

After that, Jian Han was unable to continue with her words. She looked in the direction of the gaze of the man was looking at. Her watering can was on the balcony, and she just used it just now.

As she froze up, Zhou Dayuan turned over slowly. Their gazes crashed with one another. One was taken aback, another was pale…

On the grass patch outside the villa, Little Qinwen was playing joyfully. Yue Wanqing took a blanket and knelt down beside the wheelchair. She pulled it over Grandma’s thighs as she said, “Mum, the wind is cold outside. Don’t freeze out here.”

“Okay.” Grandma nodded her head. Her eyes were full of joy.

Ning Qing was laughing behind them. “Grandma, Mum is taking care of you just as if you were Little Qinwen.”

“That’s right.” Yue Wanqing continued, “An elderly person at home is just like having a treasure at home. Our family has three treasures: Dad, Mum, and Little Qinwen. They are all treasures.”

Zhou Heng’s pale white face had a benevolent and pampering smile on it. He kneaded Grandma’s shoulders as he said, “Xiao Hui, our children’s lives are going so well, and they are still so filial. You should be grateful for that.”

“That’s right.” Grandma lifted her gaze up to look at the blue azure skies dotted with white clouds above her head, and she softly muttered, “I am grateful for it.”

At this moment, Yue Wanqing plucked a flower and handed it over to Grandma, “Mum, this is for you.”

Grandma lifted her gaze to look; it was a Carnation.

Carnation. It’s meaning was benevolent and noble motherly love!

Grandma stretched her hand out to receive it. At this moment, Zhou Heng helped her take it. He took the carnation and placed it on the side of grandma’s ear as he tucked it into her white hair. “Xiao Hui, you look really pretty.”

Grandma had a blissful and loving smile on her face. In her entire life, the thing that she did not regret one bit was that she married the man who stood behind her. The thing that she was most proud of, it was that she had Dou Dou as her daughter. Although the years had passed, what was the point of being particular with it right now? She had to be thankful. She had to thank heavens for giving her the most perfect ending.

At this moment, Little Qinwen’s clear, childish voice rang out in her ears. “Great Grandma, look! I am playing with the kite. My kite is flying so high up in the wind.”

Grandma lifted her head. She looked in the direction of the kite. A colourful butterfly was floating below the blue sky and white clouds. It was so high up and so far away, it was as if it was floating among the angels.

Grandma felt the tears in her eyes well up. She slowly but closed her eyes in satisfaction.

Three months later

Winter left and spring came, and it was a good time of the year again.

Today was the day Yi Fan red wine would have an official press conference. The venue had a long red carpet, and the lights were sparkling and bright.

The journalist from the different media outlets had all brought their cameras. They could not stop taking photographs. Everyone was excited as they said, “Come over and look quickly. That is the goddess who has been in retirement from show business for almost 10 years already… That is the senior president in the business world… Oh my god! These people who would not normally appear before the public’s eyes are all present to support Ning Qing’s Yi Fan Red Wine. I feel that, in the entertainment industry, it is only Ning Qing who has such power to do so.”

“That’s right, Ning Qing’s <Lurker>, has come to a beautiful end. The rights have been purchased by an overseas company to remake it into a movie. Her Yi Fan red wine debuted three months ago. It has quickly swept through the stores and liquor outlets, and it has turned into a top selling brand of red wine. Who can be prouder than her right now?”

“Everyone should stop talking. Look, quickly! Ning Qing is here.”

Ning Qing really came.

She was dressed in a long light purple dress. Her long train was dragging on the floor. Her 53 cm waist had a diamond belt on it, accentuating her waist even more. It was bright and sparkling. Her curls were up in a lazy updo. Her small face looked exquisite and beautiful, just like she had come out of a painting.

The moment she appeared, she made everyone present on scene take a breath in.

That’s right, Ning Qing now has officially stepped into the 24th year of her life. She had lost all of her inexperience, and she stood in the middle of the large hall. As she lowered her gaze, she had a smile on her face. Every movement that she made was confident and poised.

“Director Ning, Director Ning….” The journalists all crowded around her. “Director Ning, during these four years, you turned from a Best Actress into a newly crowned director, and now you have emerged again as the founder of Yi Fan red wine. In the future, we really do not know how to address you anymore.”

Ning Qing curled her maroon lips up. Her small, exquisite face was absolutely beautiful, and she had a perfect smile on her face. “No matter how much I change, I am still Ning Qing. Everyone can just address me by my name.”

The journalists all laughed as they said, “We do not dare to do so. Director Ning, Yi Fan red wine has been on the market for three months now. Not only did it become the champion in the country, it has even become a strong competitor of the Zhou Corporation abroad! As for the old established red wine brand from the Zhou Corporation, can we ask Director Ning, do you think that you’ll outsell them?”

“This…” Ning Qing had an awkward expression on her face. She lifted her small white hand ,and as he tucked some hair behind her ear, she had an easy smile on her face. “Based on the data that I just received, Yi Fan red wine’s sales volume from overseas market has already outperformed Zhou Corporation’s sales. It is no longer a question of whether we have the confidence to outsell them, as I have already done just that.”

The journalists all gasped. Zhou Corporation’s red wine has always been at the top of sales in the red wine market and has never been overthrown, and they really did not think that, in the span of three short months, it would be overtaken by Ning Qing’s Yi Fan.

Ning Qing has overthrown a legend, and created a legend herself.

“Director Ning, we heard that Yi Fan’s winery and flower fields are already in preparation in T City. The plot of land that you bought in the city centre of T City has been turned into your flower fields. Once this has been completed, it will be a flower field in the heart of the city. We heard that that plot of land was extremely pricey, and you bought a few hectares of that piece of land. We understand that you would need to spend a large amount of money to do so.”

“The funds to purchase it…” Ning Qing had a blissful smile on her face. She turned her gaze sideways to look at the man who had just entered the venue. “It was actually the land that belonged to my family. Can’t I make use of it?”

The journalists all channelled their gazes over to Lu Shaoming. He was still looked the way they remembered. He was dressed in the classic pairing of a white dress shirt and black trousers. He looked cold and handsome, with his aura looking elegant and confident. It made others unable to avert their eyes away.

Little Qinwen, who was around one year old, was trailing behind him. Little Qinwen’s features were developing more and more. No matter who looked at him, they would compliment him saying that he was something carved by the Gods. He was way too handsome.

The journalists could not help but be amazed. As they have followed Ning Qing through these four years as she developed, they’ve seen how Young Master Lu loved this woman in front of them deeply all this while. The only thing that disappeared was time, and the thing that was left behind was Lu Shaoming’s endearing and firm love for Ning Qing.

At this moment, the main doors of the large hall were pulled open again, and a figure emerged before the crowds.

The journalists all caught a glimpse of the figure and were alarmed. “Old Master Zhou.”

Zhou Corporation and Yi Fan were having an intense competition in the market of red wine, and they did not think that Old Master Zhou would turn up at his competitor’s press conference.

Ning Qing slowly came forward as everyone watched, then she stretched her hand out. “Grandpa.”

The way she addressed him made everyone present alarmed. Ning Qing actually addressed Zhou Heng as “Grandpa”

It was only then that they realized that there were someone trailing behind Zhou Heng. Yue Wanqing was supporting Zhou Heng’s elbow as she warmly said, “Dad.”

The scene at hand turned into chaos. The truth always came out like a tornado. Nobody had thought that Ning Qing’s mother was actually Zhou Heng’s biological daughter, and Ning Qing was the Zhou family’s direct descendant.

Ning Qing and Lu Shaoming helped Zhou Heng onto the stage. The three of them popped the champagne and poured it to the brim of the red wine glass. They officially debuted Yi Fan red wine onto the market under the gaze of everyone present.

Someone lifted the red cloth and exposed the gold signboard. The words — Zhou Corporation Yi Fan, were written in elaborate and grand strokes on top.

It was at this moment that everyone understood. This was the launching ceremony of Yi Fan red wine, and it was also a ceremony to identify family members. The thing that was about to come would come, it was something in your life that could not be snatched away. What about all of the wealth in the Zhou family and the entire world? The things that were gifted to others temporarily. There would be a day that it would be taken back again.

Just like Ning Qing, her entire journey was not because she was the Young Miss of the Zhou family. She had yet to enjoy any of the prestige of being a member of the Zhou family. Today, it was her who recognized her grandfather. Without any melodramatic nonsense, without any explanation, she was so small and tiny as she wowed the entire city.

Zhou Corporation Yi Fan.

The dream that Grandpa had to give up, it started once again with her.
