On the 101st floor of Tianjing Building, the Starry Restaurant, Huo Yunchen rented the entire floor and asked her to marry him again. The ring that was not given last time was still tightly held in his palm. The thought of putting it on her ring finger in person soon warmed his heart as if he had just drunk a glass of boiled water. Bai Qingqing didn’t know his plan. When Liu Kai went to pick her up, he only said that Huo Yunchen would invite her to dinner. They took the special elevator to the 101st floor, and the moment the elevator door opened, everything in front of her gave her a dreamlike feeling. A red carpet was paved with red roses, white balloons floated like clouds, and a pleasant piano sounded.

The layout of the restaurant was so beautiful, but Huo Yunchen was nowhere to be seen. She walked on the red carpet and saw him dressed in white siting in front of the piano by the floor-to-ceiling window. His long fingers jumped fast on the piano, and every beautiful note seemed jumping happily in the air. He was like an immortal coming from the sky. If she didn’t see that with her own eyes, she might not believe that there was such a perfect man in this world. And this man was her husband. Thinking of these she couldn’t help but step forward and gently embraced his waist from behind. She mischievously gave a soft kiss on his thin lips.

He looked at her softly, like a feather gently stroking the bottom of the heart… After a song, he pulled her to sit on his lap, hugged her, and whispered in her ear. “My wife, I love you.” “I know, I love you, too.” She replied with a sweet smile, snuggling in his arms, looking at the sky of the 101-story building, and feeling like she owned the world. Suddenly rumbling sounded successively, the sky burst out colorful fireworks, beautiful and magnificent. “Fireworks, Huo Yunchen, there are fireworks.” Bai Qingqing pulled him to the window to watch the fireworks, excited like a child. “There are fireworks to see, and I should have brought Tiantian here. He likes to watch fireworks the most.” She had some regrets, because she wanted to share all the beautiful things, the delicious things, and the fun things with her favorite people.

“Rest assured, Liu Kai and Tiantian can also see it.” “Really? Where are they?” Bai Qingqing searched around, but he pointed to the sky. The fireworks instantly displayed a line of words: “Bai Qingqing marry me.” She looked at the colorful words, which seemed to have a searing temperature. Looking back at him, he knelt on one knee, holding the ring she threw away last time. His eyes were darker than the night sky and more brilliant than fireworks. “Marry me, let me take care of you, stay with you for a lifetime.” She nodded desperately, and her eyes blurred with tears.

He put the ring on her finger, embraced her in his arms, and kissed her lips under the brilliant fireworks. For the first time, he felt that his life became particularly important and meaningful. Because he was no longer alone, he had a woman he loved and a warm home. “Mommy, Daddy, you are too bad. You guys are going out without me.” Liu Kai came in with Tiantian, so the kiss had to stop. Tiantian slipped into Bai Qingqing’s arms, but was stopped by Huo Yunchen and hugged into his arms. “Tiantian, mommy can’t hold you right now. Mommy has a younger brother or sister in her belly. They can’t hold you.” Huo Yunchen said seriously. Tiantian looked at mommy and asked, “Mommy, is it true?” Bai Qingqing smiled and nodded, “Yes, the younger brother and younger sister are still very small and they need your protection.” “Oh, I know.”

Tiantian nodded like an adult, reaching out to touch mommy’s belly and speaking very seriously: “Don’t be afraid. You two have brother and daddy to protect you.” Huo Yunchen hugged Bai Qingqing, and Liu Kai pulled Tiantian, watching fireworks while eating. Tiantian also asked Liu Kai to take him to let off fireworks.

The beautiful days flowed like water, and he always liked to lie on her belly, listening, although he couldn’t hear anything. He liked to cut off all social engagements and stay with her. It was the most satisfying and happiest moment in his life. Bai Qingqing was very considerate and often asked him to take her and Tiantian back to see the grandmother and grandfather. She tried her best to make the old people happy, although sometimes they didn’t want to see her.

But she wasn’t resentful and angry, and in turn she persuaded him not to bother about it. There were many beautiful women in this world, but few had beautiful spotless hearts. He was fortunate to find a pure lady. He wondered a thousand times what it would be like to lose her. He dared not to think of it, and he felt very painful when thinking about it.

More than a month later, the golden wedding of grandmother and grandfather arrived. In order to make them happy, Bai Qingqing was not only responsible for the wedding dress, but also planned a grand wedding for them. The grandmother’s health was originally bad, but when she saw the B-ultrasound report that Huo Yunchen had brought her, she immediately felt refreshed. “Twins? Yunchen, is this true? You are not lying to Grandma, are you?” Huo Yunchen took Bai Qingqing’s hand and nodded hard toward Grandma. “Grandma, it’s true. You will have two grandsons again .”

“Okay, okay, it’s so good. Qingqing, you are a major contributor of our family. I used to be too harsh on you. Don’t be angry. If you two are good, I’m happy even if I die.” The old lady held Bai Qingqing’s hand tightly, and said sincerely and earnestly, her eyes always staring at her belly. Bai Qingqing was a little embarrassed. She held the old man’s hand and said, “Grandma, I’m not angry with you, and I bring you a surprise.”

“Surprise?” The old lady looked surprised. The twins were already a big surprise. Anything else? At this time Liu Kai walked in with both hands holding the big gift box and opened it in front of the old lady. The fire-like red wedding dress was spread out in front of her. The beads and embroidery were beautiful, and the elegant veil, like the veil covering the girl’s delicate face, made the old lady feel like she was young for a moment.

“Wedding dress, for me?” “Well, grandma, it took Qingqing half a month to make it for you.”

Huo Yunchen stepped forward, holding his wife’s hand tightly, his eyes looking soft as water. The old lady’s eyes were filled with tears and she couldn’t help crying. “Old man, we didn’t have such a beautiful wedding dress when we got married. I really don’t expect that I could wear the wedding dress made by my grandson’s wife at the end of my life.”

The old man stepped forward and hugged his wife tightly, and he was both happy and unspeakably sad. During this period of time her condition deteriorated seriously. But her state of mind was completely different from before. She had never felt that she was wrong in interfering with her daughter’s marriage, but recently she had repeatedly said sorry. “Grandma, do you want to try?” “Try?” “Well, okay.” Everyone went out, only Bai Qingqing and the old lady were left in the room. Bai Qingqing helped the old lady to put on her clothes, helped her comb her hair, and helped her makeup. She was cautious, gentle and considerate…

The old lady looked at herself in the mirror, her red dress was as elegant as a fairy. It was as if she had gone back decades. So she burst into tears, and also felt a little guilty. “Qingqing, you are a good girl. It‘s grandma who is blind.”
