I lay on the hospital bed, my body aching yet my heart filled with joy. Gu Yan held my hand tightly, tears shimmering in his eyes. A nurse placed a small bundle in my arms, and I beheld the most beautiful miracle in the world.
"It's a girl, congratulations!" the nurse said with a smile.
I looked down at the little angel in my arms; she had a tiny frown, her eyes tightly shut, and her little hands clenched into fists. In that moment, I felt an unprecedented happiness and fulfillment.
"Gu Yan, look how adorable she is," I whispered, afraid to wake the sleeping baby.
Gu Yan leaned down and gently kissed the baby's forehead, then pressed his lips to my cheek. "You’ve worked hard, my love," he said, his voice choked with emotion.
We exchanged smiles, our eyes brimming with tears of happiness. After all the trials we had faced, we had finally welcomed our little angel into the world.
"What should we name her?" I asked.
Gu Yan pondered for a moment before his eyes lit up. "How about we name her Gu Nianqing? Gu is our surname; Nian represents my longing for you; and Qing is your name, symbolizing a bright and beautiful future."
A warmth spread through my heart as I felt that this name was perfect. "Gu Nianqing... what a lovely name," I murmured, gazing at our sleeping daughter, filled with anticipation for the future.
After being discharged from the hospital, we brought Gu Nianqing back to our small apartment. Though space was limited, it was filled with warmth and love. Gu Yan's parents came to visit us as well, and they were utterly enchanted by Gu Nianqing.
Watching my father-in-law and mother-in-law play with Xiao Nianqing stirred mixed emotions within me. Reflecting on their initial attitude towards me and seeing how things had changed now felt like a transformation from sea to mulberry fields.
"Su Qing, I'm sorry," my mother-in-law suddenly took my hand, tears glistening in her eyes. "We were too stubborn before; we shouldn't have treated you that way."
I was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and shook my head. "It's fine, Mom. Let's just leave the past behind."
My father-in-law walked over and patted my shoulder. "As long as you two are happy, we can rest easy. If you ever need help, just let us know."
I nodded, feeling a warmth in my heart. The barriers that once existed had finally dissolved, and we had truly become a family.
Time flew by, and before I knew it, Xiao Nianqing was already walking. Watching her take her first wobbly steps was utterly adorable, melting both my and Gu Yan's hearts. Every day after work, we would take her to a nearby park to play. Seeing her chase butterflies across the grass and hearing her sweet laughter made life feel perfect.
My career was also progressing well. I began taking on important projects and earned recognition from both my superiors and colleagues. Whenever I faced challenges, Gu Yan would patiently listen to me vent, offering advice and encouragement. With his support, I felt capable of achieving anything.
Gu Yan also made significant strides in his career. With his exceptional technical skills and management abilities, he became the company's Technical Director. Watching him thrive filled me with genuine pride.
Our lives weren't extravagant, but they were filled with happiness and contentment. On weekends, we would take Xiao Nianqing on outings to enjoy the beauty of nature. Seeing her curiosity about everything new reminded us of our own childhood innocence.
Sometimes we planned little trips as well—taking Xiao Nianqing to see the ocean, hike mountains, and experience different cultures. Traveling with a child could be challenging at times, but witnessing her excitement over new experiences made it all worthwhile.
Back home, we still lived in that small apartment. Although the space was limited, it held countless memories for us. The walls of the living room were adorned with our photos, capturing moments big and small. The aroma of home-cooked meals always wafted from the kitchen—that was the essence of home.
At night, when putting Xiao Nianqing to bed, I often told her stories about Gu Yan and me—how we met, fell in love, and overcame numerous obstacles to be together. She listened intently and sometimes innocently asked, "Mommy, do you and Daddy really love each other that much?"
At those moments, I would smile and nod. "Yes, your Daddy and I love each other very much. And we love you too, our little angel."
Looking at my peacefully sleeping daughter often left me feeling reflective. Remembering all the ups and downs we had faced along the way and ultimately achieving such a happy ending made everything worthwhile.
Sometimes, I think back to that version of myself crying in the rain, the one who almost gave up. If only I had known then what the future held, I would have walked forward with even more strength.
I believe our future will be even brighter. We will continue to work hard to create a better living environment for Xiao Nianqing. We will keep loving each other, allowing this bond to grow ever stronger. We will grow old together, watching Xiao Nianqing grow up and start their own family.
Life inevitably brings its share of ups and downs, but I know that as long as we stand together, there is no challenge we cannot overcome. Because we possess the most precious things—each other's love and trust.
Looking at Gu Yan and Xiao Nianqing as they sleep, my heart fills with happiness and gratitude. I am thankful that fate brought me to Gu Yan, and grateful for all the wonderful gifts life has given us. I gently placed a kiss on each of their foreheads and quietly turned off the light.
In the darkness, I could hear Gu Yan's steady breathing and Xiao Nianqing's soft murmurs in their dreams. I knew this was the sound of happiness. With a heart full of joy and anticipation for the future, I slowly closed my eyes.
Tomorrow, we will continue to write our story. And this story will surely be the most beautiful fairy tale.
