In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
My studio has made money, and I have set up branches in different cities.
It seems that everything is slowly getting back on track.
The painful memories have been sealed away in a corner.
Occasionally recalling them, I feel indifferent now.
Han Zheng has been urging me to give him a title.
I haven't agreed.
I am still afraid, afraid of making promises again.
Disappointment and anger are evident in Han Zheng's eyes, but I still refuse him.
Fu Tianming is not doing well.
He has turned to alcohol, drinking himself into a stomach perforation and is about to undergo surgery.
His situation is lamentable.
Over the years, he has indulged himself, living in despair, and his health has deteriorated further.
A friend asked me, "Can you really bear to watch him die?"
I fell silent.
What is there to feel sorry about?
His life or death has nothing to do with me, and I no longer want to bear any shackles.
I just want to live my own life well.
Han Zheng took me to the seaside.
He proposed to me.
Kneeling on one knee, he presented a ring.
His gaze was sincere: "Feng Nuannuan, will you marry me?"
I looked at him, my eyes moistening.
Over the years, I have seen his genuine heart.
He never hides his desires.
He wants me.
No matter what my past holds, he wants me.
I slowly reached out my hand, wanting to tell him that I am willing.
“Feng Nuannuan……”
A hoarse male voice came from behind me.
I turned around and saw Fu Tianming.
He was kneeling on the beach.
“Feng Nuannuan, I was wrong. Will you come back?”
“I have already suffered my punishment. Please forgive me, okay?”
“I truly realize my mistakes. Will you come back?”
He clutched the hem of my dress, tears streaming down his face.
He looked so miserable.
Over the years, he had been tormented not only by illness but also by Liu Qingqing.
Liu Qingqing took Fu Tianming's money to support her young lover outside.
When Fu Tianming found out, he beat Liu Qingqing and kicked her out.
However, Liu Qingqing clung to him, coming back every few days to ask for money.
Fu Tianming had given her some a few times, but as his condition worsened, he could no longer afford it.
Liu Qingqing then caused a scene at his company.
As a result, Fu Tianming's reputation was completely ruined.
Now he was abandoned by everyone and left with nothing.
I looked at him and remembered how he used to be so sunny and handsome in our youth.
I also recalled how he knelt by my father's bedside, promising my father that he would take good care of me.
He once said, “I value Feng Nuannuan more than my own life; I will never let her down.”
Unfortunately, time passed, and he ultimately let me down.
Fu Tianming was crying uncontrollably.
He said, “Feng Nuannuan, I have repented; I truly have repented. Will you come back?”
“I will give you everything you want.”
“I don’t want anything now; I only want you.”
“Let’s live a good life together, okay?”
“Did you forget how good we were back then?”
I looked at him, tears streaming down my face.
I haven't forgotten.
How could I forget?
Those beautiful memories are already etched in my soul.
But how can those good times compare to the pain that followed?
How can I possibly forgive him?
How can I face Han Zheng?
Han Zheng's eyes were also red.
His eyes were rimmed with red, glistening with tears.
He looked at me, his gaze full of pleading.
He was asking me not to agree to Fu Tianming.
I care about Han Zheng.
I cannot betray Han Zheng.
I gently pulled away Fu Tianming's hand.
I turned around and placed my hand in Han Zheng's palm.
Han Zheng stared at me in shock.
I smiled, "What are you dazed about?"
"Why don't you hurry up and put it on for me?"
Han Zheng was overjoyed.
He immediately slipped the ring onto my finger.
He held me tightly in his arms and kissed my lips.
The sea breeze blew towards us.
I thought to myself, my life is finally about to welcome a new chapter.
