Late at night, with their child maggie asleep, Li milan lay in Yang's milan arms, gazing at him tenderly. When he teased her for staring, she confessed softly, "You're so beautiful that I can never get enough of looking at you." Yang milan was touched, realizing once again how deeply she loved him.
He kissed her forehead and promised, "If one lifetime isn't enough, I'll be your man in the next life and the one after that."
Li mercy felt sweet in her heart . It was the first time she heard such word from zhou yang and it seemed little unreal :- by the way , why did you suddenly thought for not returning to the city . Is it because of my brother .
yang milan shook his head and said :- no because I don't want to lose you.
Seeing the confusion in Li mercy eyes , yang milan would looked into her eye and said, when your second brother knocked me unconscious I had a dream .
Yang milan then revealed a haunting dream he divorced Li mercy returned to the city, and lost her and their child. The pain of that dream made him cherish her even more.
Li mercy tried to comfort him, saying dreams are the opposite of reality, but she saw the sorrow in his eyes and realized he had truly changed. Wanting to help, she suggested her father could buy Yang milan a proper job in town, since working in the countryside never suited him.
But Yang milan refused—he didn't want to rely on her family's wealth or be the subject of gossip. People already whispered that he was a "gigolo," living off the well-off Li family. He admitted that in the beginning, he married her just to survive, having come from the capital with nothing. But over time, through Li mercy persistent love and devotion, he had fallen for her completely.
Yang milan recalled the hunger and hardships he endured when he first arrived, even to the point of eating field mice. At that time, fresh out of high school, Li mercy fell in love with him at first sight and pursued him relentlessly. Unable to resist her warmth and determination, Yang milan surrendered his heart.
Now, despite gossip and the difficulties of life, their bond had only grown stronger.
Thanks for sharing the continuation! These last screenshots bring closure to the scene between Yang milan and Li mercy. Here's a smoothened version of what's happening:
---
Li mercy pitied Yang milan . She asked her father to arrange light work for him, so he wouldn't have to do heavy labor yet could still earn work points. Old Man Li loved his late-born daughter dearly and didn't mind supporting her husband—even if everyone in the village mocked Yang milan as a "gigolo."
But for Yang milan , things had changed. Before, he didn't care what others said, but now he wanted to live a good life with Li mercy and couldn't stand being looked down upon anymore. He resolved to change his image.
One evening, Yang milan suddenly asked, "By the way, how much money do we have left at home?"
Li mercy replied, "About a hundred dollars. Do you want to use it?"
He nodded. "I want to go to the city."
Li mercy frowned, her eyes full of worry. "Why go all the way to the city? It's so far…"
Seeing her unease, Yang milan gently scratched her nose and reassured her: "Don't overthink. I'm not running away from you. My teacher once taught me a way to make money, and I want to give it a try."
Li mercy blushed, embarrassed but supportive. "When are you going? I'll ask Dad to write you a certificate."
Yang milan chuckled. "Let me recover first. Your brothers-in-law beat me so badly that my whole body aches!"
Li mercy pouted. "Serves you right! Who told you to abandon us and try to return to the city?"
Yang milan immediately held her hand tightly and promised: "No. I will never abandon you again!"
Li mercy heart softened. "I believe you.
