Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The sudden explosion and fire of a large warehouse caused a great deal of attention in Shalnork. For a period of time, it even became a topic of conversation for many people.

Many people were curious about how such a large warehouse suddenly caught fire. In a short time, various conspiracy theories rose to fame, causing many people to be anxious.

Perhaps it was because the police discovered this, they quickly explained the matter.

The large warehouse suddenly exploded and caught fire because a warehouse staff member made a mistake in his work, causing the dust in the warehouse to catch fire. Unfortunately, there were a lot of fireworks and firecrackers piled up in the warehouse, which caused a series of explosions.

It worked very well at quelling most of the public. Some skeptics may continue asking questions, not to mention people like Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng who were in the thick of it all.

!!

Even so, it brought a close to that matter.

People always forgot things that had nothing to do with them. Therefore, after a period of time, this matter was completely thrown into the corner of people’s memories and was rarely mentioned again.

The warm sunlight passed through the swaying gauze curtain and slipped into the spacious and warm large bedroom. It was sprinkled on the two people who were tightly hugging each other on the bed. It was quiet and leisurely.

The originally harmonious and beautiful scene was broken by the two little brats who sneaked in from outside the door.

The older child held the younger child with some difficulty. He carefully opened the door and closed it. Only then did he move toward the large bed in the room with small steps.

Even though the hobbit in his arms was a little uncomfortable from being carried by his elder brother, he still obediently did not move. His hands were tightly wrapped around his elder brother’s neck, and his pair of big eyes were curiously scanning the room. Finally, he fixed his gaze on the big bed not far away.

Finally, the two children, one big and one small, made it to the end of the bed with great difficulty.

The older one placed the younger one at the end of the bed first. Only then did he free his hands. He lifted the quilt and followed the little brat to climb towards the head of the bed.

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng, who were sleeping, felt something moving under the quilt. They finally woke up from their sweet dreams. When they looked down, they saw the innocent and clear big eyes of their two precious sons.

Both of them were stunned.

“Mu Sichen!” After a long while, Zhao Youlin’s high-pitched voice rang out in the room, disturbing everyone in the Mu Residence.

Zhao Youlin lifted her eldest son onto her thigh and raised her hand to slap his chubby little butt.

“Pa…” There was a crisp sound. Normally, Zhao Youlin would not have hit him so hard, but today was an exception.

Ever since he had a little brother, this little brat had become more and more naughty. It was one thing for him to cause trouble, but he had actually brought his little brother along.

Fortunately, she and Mu Tingfeng were both relatively light sleepers. Otherwise, if she had turned over accidentally, wouldn’t she have crushed both of them?

Zhao Youlin had originally only intended to teach Joy a lesson. The thunder was loud, but the rain was light. She had not exerted much strength. Therefore, other than feeling a little wronged, Joy did not have much of a reaction. Instead, it was the younger one who immediately waved his arms and cried out when he saw his brother being beaten up. His big eyes, which were very similar to Joy’s, were instantly filled with clear tears, as if he did not want his brother to be beaten up.

Zhao Youlin and the others were shocked by this sudden turn of events. It took them quite a while before they burst into laughter.

Zhao Youlin reached out and carried her youngest son to her side. She pinched her youngest son’s chubby little face and asked in a low voice, “You don’t want me to hit your brother?”

The child shook his head in confusion and nodded.

Zhao Youlin smiled and turned to look at her eldest son. “Where’s Joy? Are you going to be so naughty again?”

Joy’s body trembled, and he said carefully, “No, I don’t dare.”

“Remember your words. A man must keep his word. Otherwise, I will send your brother to uncle and aunt.”

Zhao Youlin’s threat clearly worked. Joy trembled and almost reflexively pounced on the child. He said with a serious face, “No, no, do not send my brother away.”

Although the little brat in Joy’s arms couldn’t understand what his mom and brother were saying, he could feel his brother’s fear and grief. His little mouth twitched, and he grabbed his brother’s arm tightly, looking pitiful as if he was trying not to cry.

Zhao Youlin was amused by the brothers’ expressions. The corners of her lips curled slightly, and she said seriously, “If you don’t want your little brother to be sent away, then be obedient. Don’t always bring your little brother around and make your grandfather and grandma worry.”

“Yes, yes!” The two children’s heads were like bobberheads. Only then did Zhao Youlin finally show mercy and let the two brats go.

It was not easy to send away these two troubled children. As soon as Zhao Youlin turned her head, she saw Mu Tingfeng standing by the window against the light, and his eyes were as deep as ever.

Zhao Youlin’s lips curled slightly. She walked over and took the initiative to hug Mu Tingfeng’s waist. She asked in a low voice, “Does your leg still hurt?”

Mu Tingfeng reached out and touched Zhao Youlin’s head. “It’s fine now.”

That day in the warehouse, Mu Tingfeng had been shot in the shoulder and thigh because of her. He had also exerted a lot of energy during his escape, causing him to bleed heavily.

Fortunately, they were lucky enough to survive in the end. They had managed to get to the hospital in time with the help of Su Jifeng. Otherwise, Mu Tingfeng’s leg might not have been able to survive.

Even so, Mu Tingfeng was left burning with a fever for several days in a row. Zhao Youlin was so worried that she almost went crazy. She stayed by the ward every day because she was afraid that something bad would happen to Mu Tingfeng.

Since the matter had escalated to such an extent, it was impossible to hide it from Su Ruixin and the others. Fortunately, Su Jifeng had gone with them that day. In the end, the few of them said the same thing. They directly said that they had met the former enemies of the Su family. Mu Tingfeng was unexpectedly injured when he was being chased by those enemies.

Su Ruixin and the others all knew what the Su family did in the past. They did not doubt the words of Zhao Youlin and the others. However, they were afraid and angrily scolded Zhao Youlin and the others, then let it go. They did not think about what had happened to Zhao Youlin and the others and the warehouse at the dock.

Zhao Youlin buried her face in Mu Tingfeng’s arms and sighed, as if she still felt like she was in a dream, unreal and otherworldly.

After a long while, Zhao Youlin opened her eyes again and said in a hoarse voice, “Today, will you go somewhere with me?”

Mu Tingfeng didn’t know where Zhao Youlin wanted to go, so he nodded and replied, “Yes.”

On the edge of the empty and desolate cemetery, the two of them stood quietly in front of the tombstone, staring at the familiar black-and-white photo on the tombstone.

Zhao Youlin took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and brought the flowers in her hands to the tombstone.

“I came a little late. You won’t mind, right?” Zhao Youlin stared at the photo on the tombstone. Her eyes were sad and regretful, but more than that, they were relaxed and relieved.

The fire that day was so big that other than them, there was basically no chance of anyone surviving.

Especially after the fire was extinguished, the police found that there were indeed a few charred corpses in the warehouse. Although they didn’t reveal the true identities of these charred corpses later on… however, the Su family still confirmed the identities of the people who died that day through other channels.

When she found out that Lu Xiangtian, Lu Shu, and the others were all on the death list, Zhao Youlin could not describe how she felt,

Lu Xiangtian’s subordinates had held funerals for him and Lu Sizheng, as well as Lu Shu. After the death of the Lu family, Lu Xiangtian’s subordinates began to grow restless, and their authority shifted several times. In the end, they fell into the hands of a rather courageous young man. However, after this incident, this faction was no longer as glorious as it had been when Lu Xiangtian was still alive.

Zhao Youlin did not have much of a reaction when she knew about this. After all, these things were not her responsibility. She was not interested in knowing about it, so it was fine if she just listened to it.

When Lu Xiangtian’s funeral was held, Zhao Youlin was busy taking care of Mu Tingfeng, who had a high fever. She did not have the energy or the status to attend her funeral, but now, she felt that she should at least come over and take one last look at this person.

“I came here today to tell you. That day, we escaped. We’re fine now. You don’t have to worry. You and… You and mom should have met over there, right. If you meet her, please tell her for me, I…”

Zhao Youlin could not help but pause and did not continue.

Mu Tingfeng seemed to have felt the shock in her heart. He took a step forward and stood side by side with Zhao Youlin, holding her slightly cold hand.

Zhao Youlin felt the warmth coming from her palm. She was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Mu Tingfeng.

Looking into Mu Tingfeng’s eyes that were full of indulgence and tolerance, Zhao Youlin’s heart strangely calmed down. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she completed the words that she had yet to say. “I’m fine, we’re fine.”

Zhao Youlin’s tone was filled with a deep sense of certainty and satisfaction. After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Mu Tingfeng, and the two of them laughed at the same time.

When Zhao Youlin finally left, she placed the necklace that Lu Xiangtian had slipped into her pocket at the last moment in front of the tombstone.

Perhaps, Lu Xiangtian wanted her to take this necklace as a memento, but she felt that this necklace had accompanied her for more than twenty years, and now it was time to return to where it belonged.

The brilliant sunlight shone on the smooth tombstone, reflecting the sparkling light and the silver necklace that was side by side with the flowers.

In the center of the necklace, inside the heart-shaped pendant that had been opened, the family of three that had been carefully pieced together were smiling with incomparable happiness.

Not far from the tombstone, a couple held hands as they slowly walked out. From afar, they could occasionally let out a few happy chuckles.

The bright and warm sunlight cascaded on their bodies, coating them with a layer of light. It also lengthened their silhouettes reflected on the ground, making them extremely intimate.

That was… their simplest form of happiness!
