Qin Feng smiled slightly, his gaze softening: "How could I forget? Back then, you were like a flower blooming in spring, so beautiful and charming, that I fell for you at first sight."

A blush appeared on Lin Ruoxi's face. "At that time, I only thought you looked honest, but I never expected that we would later walk through so many storms together."

Qin Feng held Lin Ruoxi's hand and said with emotion: "Back then, I never imagined that fate would favor me so much, allowing me to spend my life with you."

Her thoughts drifted back to the time shortly after they met. Lin Ruoxi said: "Do you still remember that time we went to the temple fair together? The streets were crowded and bustling. We ate so many snacks and watched the juggling performances."

Qin Feng nodded. "Yes, back then you saw a little sugar figurine and loved it so much. I bought it for you, and you laughed like a Child."

Lin Ruoxi chuckled. "And that other time, when we went boating together, I accidentally fell into the water, and it gave you quite a scare."

Qin Feng smiled helplessly. "You little rascal, you really scared me, but fortunately, it ended safely."

Tears shimmered in Lin Ruoxi's eyes. "And that time I was sick, you stayed by my bedside day and night, taking care of me. I thought then that having you in this life is my greatest blessing."

Qin Feng pulled Lin Ruoxi into his arms. "My lady, I am more than willing to do all this for you."

They recalled the days they met Su Yao. Lin Ruoxi said: "Su Yao's current happiness is also thanks to our efforts back then."

Qin Feng sighed with emotion: "Yes, seeing her happy life now, we can consider that we did a good deed."

Lin Ruoxi sighed. "Life's connections are truly wonderful. Who could have imagined that a meeting at a bookstore back then would lead to so many stories?"

Qin Feng said: "Perhaps this is fate's arrangement, allowing us to meet the right person at the right time."

Recalling the scene of the Child's birth, Lin Ruoxi's face glowed with maternal radiance. "I still remember the moment the Child was born. When I heard its cry, the joy and emotion in my heart were truly indescribable."

Qin Feng kissed Lin Ruoxi's forehead. "At that moment, I felt like the happiest person in the world."

Lin Ruoxi smiled slightly. "Watching the Child grow up little by little, learning to walk, learning to talk—every moment makes me feel incredibly gratified."

Qin Feng nodded. "Yes, our Child is so smart and cute; it will surely achieve something in the future."

Just then, a shooting star streaked across the night sky. Lin Ruoxi quickly pressed her palms together and made a silent wish.

Qin Feng asked curiously: "My lady, what wish did you make?"

Lin Ruoxi blinked mischievously. "I won't tell you. If I say it out loud, it won't come true."

Qin Feng shook his head with a smile. "You, you are always so mischievous."

Lin Ruoxi leaned into Qin Feng's arms and said softly: "I just hope our family can continue to be this happy, living a simple and stable life."

Qin Feng hugged Lin Ruoxi tighter. "It will be, my lady."

Some days later, Lin Ruoxi suggested returning to her parents' home for a visit.

Qin Feng readily agreed. The family boarded a carriage, and the journey was filled with laughter.

Upon arriving at her parents' home, Lin Ruoxi's parents were overjoyed to see the family of three.

Lin Ruoxi's mother held her hand and said: "Child, seeing that you are living happily, Mother can rest easy."

Lin Ruoxi's eyes brimmed with tears. "Mother, your daughter is unfilial; I cannot be by your side often to show my filial piety."

Lin Ruoxi's father said: "As long as you are well, we are content."

The family sat together, reminiscing about funny stories from when Lin Ruoxi was a Child.

Lin Ruoxi's father said: "Do you remember when you were little, you were always mischievous, climbing trees to raid bird nests, and getting yourself all dirty?"

Lin Ruoxi laughed embarrassedly. "Father, why do you still bring those up?"

Qin Feng laughed from the side. "I didn't expect you to be so naughty when you were little."

After staying at her parents' home for a few days, they returned to their own home filled with warmth.

Life continued peacefully, and the Child reached the age to attend school.

On the day they took the Child to school, Lin Ruoxi was a bit reluctant. "The Child is still so young; I don't know if it will be able to adapt."

Qin Feng comforted her. "Don't worry, my lady. Our Child is smart and clever; it will surely adapt quickly."

The Child, however, looked excited. "Father, Mother, I will study hard."

Watching the Child's small figure walk into the school, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but get teary-eyed.

Qin Feng put his arm around her shoulder. "The Child has grown up; it must learn to be independent."

Time flew by. The Child performed excellently in school and often received praise from the teacher.

One day, when the Child came home from school, it said excitedly: "Father, Mother, the teacher said my essay was well-written and wants to display it at the school."

Lin Ruoxi hugged the Child happily. "My Child is truly amazing."

Qin Feng also looked very gratified. "Keep working hard, and don't be arrogant."

A few more years passed, and the Child grew into a handsome young man.

Lin Ruoxi looked at the Child, who was already taller than her, and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast. It feels like just yesterday it was still a small Child."

Qin Feng said: "Yes, we are gradually getting old too."

The Child said: "Father, Mother, when I achieve success in my studies in the future, I will definitely take good care of you."

Qin Feng and Lin Ruoxi looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of anticipation and pride.

On a beautiful, sunny day, the Child took the provincial examination and passed on the first attempt.

When the news arrived, the whole family was immersed in joy.

Friends and relatives came to offer their congratulations. Lin Ruoxi was so excited that her eyes welled up with tears. "Qin Feng, our Child has made something of itself."

Qin Feng said: "This is all the result of its own hard work."

Days passed peacefully like flowing water. However, a sudden storm broke this tranquility.

One day, Qin Feng was feeling frustrated due to business matters and returned home looking exhausted. Lin Ruoxi kept nagging about trivial household matters, and Qin Feng couldn't help but talk back.

"Can't you show some understanding for how hard I work outside?" Qin Feng said with a frown.

Lin Ruoxi was not to be outdone. "It's not easy for me to manage the household either, and yet you complain that I nag!"

The two went back and forth, their argument becoming increasingly intense.

"I can't live like this anymore!" In a fit of anger, Qin Feng slammed the door and left.

Lin Ruoxi wept in the room. "If you leave, don't come back!"

Qin Feng wandered outside for a long time. His mood gradually calmed down, and he began to regret his impulsiveness. When he returned home, he found that Lin Ruoxi was gone.

He searched everywhere, his heart filled with anxiety and worry.

Meanwhile, the Child returned from school, found no one at home, and went out to look for its parents. However, after leaving, the Child also went missing.

Qin Feng searched every place he could think of, but he couldn't find his wife and Child. He was anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

"Ruoxi, Child, where are you?" Qin Feng shouted at the empty streets, his voice filled with despair and fear.

He asked neighbors and went to the places the Child often frequented, but found nothing.

The night wind was biting cold, and Qin Feng's heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. He blamed himself endlessly, regretting his argument with Lin Ruoxi and worrying even more about the Child's safety.

"It's all my fault. Ruoxi, Child, as long as you come back, I am willing to do anything." Qin Feng muttered to himself.

The next day, Qin Feng still did not give up the search. He walked through the entire town, posted missing person notices, and offered a reward for anyone providing clues.

"I beg everyone, help me find my wife and Child." Qin Feng's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Some kind-hearted people also helped search, but there was still no news.

Qin Feng couldn't eat or sleep, and he was completely haggard. He recalled every detail with Lin Ruoxi; those past moments of sweetness and warmth had now become sharp blades piercing his heart.

"Ruoxi, it's my fault. I shouldn't have argued with you. Please come back." Qin Feng called out in his heart countless times.

Meanwhile, Lin Ruoxi was actually in a ruined temple outside the city. After leaving home, her heart was also filled with regret and pain.

"I shouldn't have been so impulsive and left him alone." Lin Ruoxi was bathed in tears.

The Child, meanwhile, had lost its way while looking for them, hungry and tired, and was curled up in a corner crying.

"Father, Mother, where are you?" The Child's voice was filled with fear and helplessness.

A few days passed, and Qin Feng was almost on the edge of despair. Just then, a beggar provided a clue, saying that he had seen a woman who looked like Lin Ruoxi outside the city.

Qin Feng, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, immediately rushed outside the city. After searching, he finally found Lin Ruoxi in the ruined temple.

"Ruoxi!" Qin Feng rushed over and hugged her tightly.

Lin Ruoxi sobbed uncontrollably. "Qin Feng, I was wrong."

"No, it was my fault," Qin Feng said. "Where is the Child?"

The two then realized the Child was missing and immediately panicked again.

Qin Feng and Lin Ruoxi looked at each other anxiously. Qin Feng said in a trembling voice: "Ruoxi, let's hurry and find the Child!"

Lin Ruoxi nodded frantically, tears welling up in her eyes. "Okay, we must find the Child!"
