Chapter 307

Song Jingyu did not disregard Qin Xiao's words just because he was young; on the contrary, his words left Song Jingyu deep in thought.

Song Jingyu could tell that the two children Su Ruo had adopted were not ordinary; if properly guided, their accomplishments would surely surpass his own.

They could even safeguard peace in a region; such people should not be tainted by hatred, lest it ruin their futures.

Song Jingyu also never hopes that one day he will become the seed of hatred for these two children.

Of course, even without Qin Xiao's words, he would never let Su Ruo down in the future.

A lifetime is long; even Song Jingyu cannot guarantee he will always love Su Ruo as he does now.

But he can guarantee that even if one day he and Su Ruo no longer have love, he will absolutely not hurt her.

Since Su Ruo married him, she is his wife, his family; he will use his life to protect her from harm.

As for what Qin Xiao worries about, it will never happen in a lifetime.

Su Ruo and the others did not know the conversation between Song Jingyu and Qin Xiao, nor did they know Song Jingyu's inner thoughts.

From noon until sunset they spent an afternoon at the sea; when tired they lay on the golden sofa, the sunset's afterglow bathing them, they smiled at each other, feeling especially happy.

Perhaps life is like this; happiness is not about how much money you have, how great your achievements, or how many people envy you.

Rather, it's about being with the one you love most, with everyone healthy and safe.

At this moment, Su Ruo silently prayed in her heart, wishing only that those she loves, her family, be safe, healthy, free from disaster and hardship.

Su Ruo believes kind people will not be let down; she again prays that her family and loved ones be healthy in body and have a smooth life.

May heavenly deities protect us.

In the evening, Su Ruo and Song Jingyu sent Li Zhaodi and the others back to the guesthouse; on the way back, they chose to walk instead of taking a vehicle.

After careful calculation, although both are in the Military Camp, the time they can spend alone together like now is not long.

Because Su Ruo is busy and Song Jingyu is busy, the two rarely get to enjoy such quiet time together.

The Military Camp at night is unusually quiet; Su Ruo and Song Jingyu walk on the small path back, the dim yellow light stretching their shadows long.

Su Ruo and Song Jingyu's hands are tightly clasped together; everything appears serene and beautiful.

Su Ruo softly said, "We can start preparing for our marriage."

Upon hearing Su Ruo's words, Song Jingyu instantly stopped walking; although he knew this day would come sooner or later, when it actually arrived he was still excited beyond control, looking at Su Ruo's eyes shining amazingly, he was dumbfounded and could not utter a word.

Su Ruo looked at him amusedly and said, "What, are you happy to the point of being silly? Or are you having second thoughts? Anyway, we haven't gotten the certificate yet, so if you regret it now, it's not too late."

Song Jingyu firmly embraced Su Ruo, his expression excited, saying, "I swear on my life that I will treat you well for a lifetime."

Su Ruo reached out to encircle Song Jingyu's waist, and a happy smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

Su Ruo does not know whether she will regret this decision in the future; at least now marrying this man, she is willing and happy, and she does not want to go against her own heart.

Of course, if one day this man lets her down, she will without hesitation turn and leave.

Moreover, even after marriage, she will not give up her career or her ability to be independent.

Su Ruo deeply knows that career and money are the foundation for a person to exist in this world; she will never sacrifice her life for a man.

Su Ruo wants to be a towering tree that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Song Jingyu, not merely a parasitic vine relying on him for survival.

Song Jingyu understands Su Ruo's personality and thoughts, so he assures her that even after marriage, her life will not change in any way; she can still do whatever she wants.

He marries Su Ruo to give her a better life, to make her happier, not to make her compromise herself for him; otherwise, what meaning does his role as husband have?

Su Ruo smiled and nodded; they embraced more tightly; regardless of whether Song Jingyu can fulfill today's promise, she will not wrong herself by going against her own will.

After Song Jingyu sent Su Ruo back, they lingered in reluctance for a long time; only after Su Ruo's repeated urging did he reluctantly leave; if it weren't for considering An'an in the dormitory, he might have clung to her all night.

Upon returning to the dormitory, Su Ruo saw An'an wearing a pure white bunny pajama, lying on the bed reading; upon seeing Su Ruo, her face instantly broke into a sweet smile.

"Mommy" the girl's smile was charming and bright; the rabbit ears on her head swayed with her movements, looking extremely cute.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Su Ruo laughed as she walked over and said.

"I'm waiting for Mommy to come back." An'an said, making space half of the blanket; Su Ruo changed into pajamas and lay down beside An'an.

An'an gently leaned against Su Ruo's embrace; the mother and daughter were just as they used to be, snuggled together.

"Mommy, are you really going to marry Uncle Song?" An'an whispered, looking at Su Ruo and asking.

"Do you like him, An'an?"

Although An'an today did not show any aversion to Song Jingyu, Su Ruo still wanted to hear her say her thoughts in her own words.

"As long as Mommy likes him, I like him; as long as Mommy feels happy and blessed, I feel happy." An'an said, leaning even closer into Su Ruo's embrace.

Although Su Ruo already knew An'an's answer, at this moment her heart still felt unbearably sad; An'an's maturity made her ache.

She is not a good mother; having such a good daughter as An'an is a blessing cultivated over several lifetimes.

The mother and daughter talked a lot more; Su Ruo also recounted some of what happened on the island, how she met Song Jingyu, and how they confirmed their relationship.

They chatted until very late before falling asleep.

The next morning early, Song Jingyu came to deliver breakfast to Su Ruo and An'an, and told Su Ruo that today he would take her to look at houses.

Su Ruo felt surprised; she had only decided yesterday to marry Song Jingyu, yet today he already brought her to look at houses.

Song Jingyu's ears were slightly red; although Su Ruo only yesterday told him about marrying, he had actually started preparing these matters long before.

Since he decided to marry Su Ruo, he would certainly make thorough preparations in advance, absolutely not going into battle unprepared.

Song Jingyu asked Su Ruo whether she wanted a bungalow or an apartment; if they chose an apartment, they could get a seventy-square-meter two-bedroom, one-living-room unit.

If they chose a bungalow, they could get a Courtyard with four openings.

Upon hearing this, Su Ruo without hesitation chose the bungalow; nowadays apartments are not only small in area but also have poor soundproofing; Su Ruo still wants to choose the bungalow, not only because the space is large and private, but also because the Courtyard can accommodate some flowers and grasses.
