Ling Yiran said, "Yes, I'm happy. Our marriage is far happier than I thought it would be. Sometimes, I'm a little worried because I'm so happy right now. Especially after comparing myself with Sis Zhuo and Lianyi, I—"
"No!" he interrupted her abruptly and said with great certainty, "No matter what happens, we'll be together forever!"
His gaze was intense and domineering, catching her firmly like a net.
She was willing to be caught in his net. "Yes, we'll be together forever!"

It was after three in the morning. Zhuo Qianyun dragged her tired body back to the rental house. She took out several boxes of medicine, filled a glass of water, and took her pills.
There were seven or eight of these pills altogether. These used to be the last thing she wanted to take, but now, they gave her hope to live another day.
When Mrs. Zhuo came out of the bedroom, her eyes could not help turning red when she saw her daughter taking the medicine. "I think you should stop running the food stall. We still have some savings. Or I can work as a domestic helper so you can spend more time with Lil Yan."
Zhuo Qianyun swallowed the last two pills and turned to look at her mother. "Mom, you're too old to be a domestic helper. I'll run the food stall for another month and make some more money. After all, we need to spend a lot on medicine every month. I'll close my stall in a month and spend time with Lil Yan then."
