Although Mo Yaoyao already knew he liked her and he knew that Mo Yaoyao liked him too, Zhou Ping still meticulously prepared a confession. It was on New Year’s Day, on the villa’s rooftop garden and under the fireworks-filled sky. It was just a confession, not a wedding, but Zhou Ping invited all his close friends like Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to witness the moment.

Since Mo Yaoyao had had a good cry, although she was still generally quiet and spoke softly, she became much more optimistic.

She also began to initiate heart-to-heart talks with Mrs. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, and Ms. Zhou.

Zhou Ping planned to marry Mo Yaoyao right after her university graduation. Mo Yaoyao had no objections, nor did Mr. or Mrs. Zhou — in fact, they were even happier than the couple themselves.

During her university years, Mo Yaoyao achieved considerable depth in the fields of mathematics and physics, also using her knowledge to improve many scientific instruments, making them more sensitive and accurate. Naturally, these instruments were first supplied to the research center under Jiang Yue, as well as the hospital where Xue Yan worked.

Before she even graduated, Mo Yaoyao had received many high honors, rivaling the splendor of her senior year graduation alongside Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, and Song Yun — all top science students themselves.

Right after graduation, just as planned, Zhou Ping and Mo Yaoyao held their wedding.

Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Yao Xi, Chen Sheng, Xu Yi, Song Yun, Yu Zi, Si Yan — all these close friends naturally attended.

At the wedding, Zhou Ping jokingly asked Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, “Now I’m married too, when are you two planning to have kids?

His two friends had been married for so many years yet still hadn’t planned on having children.

Xue Yan laughed and said, “We never planned to, no time. The research center has too much going on, and we can’t do without Yue Bao.”

This was something Xue Yan and Jiang Yue had decided long ago: they wouldn’t have children and would instead dedicate their lives to contributing to society.

In recent years, Jiang Yue had led her research center to completely cure three common types of cancer, saving countless lives, with plans to continue conquering more.

Mr. Xue had no objections to their decision not to have children.

Three years ago, Mr. Xue was remarried to a woman who brought an eighteen-year-old son into the marriage. After marrying Mr. Xue, although she was somewhat older, she still conceived and bore Mr. Xue another son two years ago. Mr. Xue was now too busy caring for the teenager and the two-year-old to bother about whether Xue Yan and Jiang Yue had children.

Moreover, since the teenager and the young son were very close to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, Mr. Xue felt that even after he was gone, the boys would take good care of Xue Yan and Jiang Yue. So, if Jiang Yue and Xue Yan decided not to have children, he was fine with it.

Hearing Xue Yan say this, Zhou Ping immediately raised a glass of wine in honor of Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.

After attending the wedding, neither Xue Yan nor Jiang Yue rushed home; one was called to the hospital and the other was called to the research center by urgent phone calls requiring their attention.

After handling their emergencies, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue got home at three in the morning.

This home was an apartment outside, conveniently close to both of their workplaces.

As soon as Xue Yan got home, he took a bag of frozen dumplings from the fridge, boiled the water, and started cooking, while Jiang Yue sat on a high stool outside the open kitchen, resting her chin in one hand, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly in a very satisfied manner as she watched her husband cook.

This had become their routine over the years.

Simple and fulfilling.

“Hungry? Let’s eat.” As soon as the dumplings were ready, Xue Yan served her a bowl first.

Jiang Yue, holding her chopsticks, suddenly said, “I love you.”

His Yue Bao was still as straightforward as ever. Xue Yan’s lips curved up as he looked at his Yue Bao, his tone light and warm, “I love you too.”
