Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The sky was already completely dark, and the street lamps in the neighborhood were all lit. Meng Nianyao stopped in her tracks. Gu Wencheng also stopped and looked back at her.

The snowflakes fell on Meng Nianyao’s eyelashes and looked very beautiful. Gu Wencheng smiled and helped her remove them. “Mr. Gu, can I believe you?” Meng Nianyao smiled. She wanted to be brave again and believe him. Just like he said, although their beginning was not very glorious and not beautiful enough, who knew what the future would be like?

“You can trust me, Mrs. Gu.” Gu Wencheng nodded at Meng Nianyao.

“Alright.” Meng Nianyao smiled, her eyes curved like the moon and filled with starlight. This was the first time Gu Wencheng had seen Meng Nianyao smile like this and the smile on his face unconsciously widened. “Let’s go home.” He leaned over and kissed Meng Nianyao’s forehead.

Meng Nianyao nodded, and the two of them slowly walked home through the snow.

The relationship between Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng had changed since that night. Although it didn’t change much, Meng Nianyao could feel that she had changed. When she spoke to Gu Wencheng, her previous politeness and politeness had changed into an intimacy that only she had with him. Mrs. Gu used to sound sarcastic, but now her words had taken on a sweetness to them.

Meng Nianyao became more and more immersed in this intimacy, as if she had just started a new life. Gu Wencheng told her to rest for a while because she hadn’t fully recovered from her work at the Gu Corporation. After the entertainment city project and the designer team were done, she would go directly to work.

Meng Nianyao didn’t like being Gu Wencheng’s assistant. She didn’t like those jobs, so she accepted Gu Wencheng’s arrangement. About a week later, Grandma Gu wanted to discuss the wedding with her, and Meng Nianyao agreed to meet her at the old mansion.

When they arrived at the old mansion, Grandma Gu asked the kitchen to prepare some food and placed it on the coffee table in the living room. She hadn’t seen Meng Nianyao since the last time she saw her at the apartment.

She saw that Meng Nianyao had gained some weight compared to the time she was discharged from the hospital and nodded in satisfaction. “That’s better. You look the best this way. You were too thin recently. It hurt to look at you.” Meng Nianyao smiled. She looked very different from before. She looked like she was soaking in a sweet life, and her entire body was emitting warmth. Grandma Gu had sharp eyes and knew that their relationship was better than before, which made her happy. The two of them chatted for a while and ate something before slowly getting to the point.

“Nianyao, what kind of wedding do you want? Chinese or Western? It’s December now, and your wedding dress and ring will have to be custom-made. There’s a lot of things that you can’t prepare in time. How about moving the wedding to the new year?” Grandma Gu asked patiently.

Meng Nianyao actually hoped that the wedding wouldn’t come about too early. When she heard Grandma Gu’s words, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Okay, Grandma.”

“Won’t you be unhappy?” Grandma Gu looked at her.

“I won’t.” Meng Nianyao shook her head and looked at Grandma Gu. Her past was a very disgraceful one. No matter how she was with Gu Wencheng now, if she wanted to last long, she should tell them about her past, or she would feel sorry for Grandma Gu for being so good to her.

Meng Nianyao clenched her hands and took a deep breath before slowly saying, “Grandma, I don’t know if Gu Wencheng told you and Grandpa, but I actually grew up in an orphanage. I don’t know who my parents are or even who I am. The name Meng Nianyao was given to me by the orphanage’s director. Other than that… I still have a marriage…” She clenched her fists as if she was trying to gather strength so that she could bravely tell him about her past.

In fact, when they first met, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu had asked Gu Wencheng about Meng Nianyao. They knew about her background and her failed marriage. She really didn’t care about Meng Nianyao’s past. Looking at her, Grandma Gu only felt heartache.

Meng Nianyao continued, “My personality and even my experiences don’t match Gu Wencheng. I… Grandma, if you feel that you can’t accept me like this and that Gu Wencheng needs a better partner, I’ll leave.”

“Silly child.” Grandma Gu waited for Meng Nianyao to finish speaking before holding her hands..
