The hustle and bustle of the city faded away after nightfall, leaving only the occasional rustling of vehicles passing by on the road in the distance, like the whisper of the night. The apartment where Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen lived was located high up in the city, with two large and comfortable lounge chairs on the balcony, facing the vast night sky.

Jiang Ciyou was wearing a soft silk nightgown, with her black hair casually draped over her shoulders. She leaned lightly on the recliner, slightly raised her head, and looked through the glass curtain wall at the deep and mysterious universe. The lights of the city made the night sky a little hazy, but the stars could still be seen twinkling, like gems inlaid on black satin. Her eyes revealed a trace of tranquility after exhaustion, and a longing for this tranquility. These days, the company's affairs have been one wave after another. She felt like a lonely boat drifting in the stormy waves. She finally grabbed Lu Jingchen's life-saving straw and got a moment of respite. At this moment, the body and mind relaxed, and those emotions and thoughts that were usually covered by busyness quietly surged into her heart.

Lu Jingchen sat on the recliner next to him. He had just finished a shower and his hair was still a little damp. A few strands of hair fell on his smooth forehead, adding a bit of casualness to his deep and handsome face. He was wearing a simple white cotton T-shirt and black sports shorts. He exuded a lazy and homely atmosphere, which was completely different from his usual vigorous and vigorous appearance in the business world. He also stared at the night sky, as if he was looking for something among the endless stars, or maybe he was just enjoying the quiet time alone with Jiang Ciyou.

After a long time, Jiang Ciyou sighed softly and broke the silence: "I really hope we can continue to be happy like this." Her voice was soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the night, but it was full of deep desire. Along the way, she has experienced too many ups and downs. The pain of being betrayed by her husband on the wedding night was like a brand engraved in her heart. She once thought that her world had collapsed and there was no happiness. Later, when she met Lu Jingchen, she was just in the mood for revenge and paralysis at first, but she didn't expect that this man would walk into her heart little by little, and use his gentleness, thoughtfulness and determination to build a warm harbor for her again. However, the shadow of the past and the twists and turns of reality always make her worry about its brevity when happiness comes.

When Lu Jingchen heard her words, he slowly turned his head and looked at her face. The moonlight shone through the window onto Jiang Ciyou's profile, outlining her beautiful features. Her eyes seemed to hide a clear spring under the moonlight, but also revealed a trace of sadness. His heart suddenly tightened, and he stretched out his hand and gently covered the back of Jiang Ciyou's hand on the armrest, and his warm palm conveyed his strength.

"Of course we will. We will go to many places together and do many interesting things." Lu Jingchen's voice was low and firm, as if he was making a promise to Jiang Ciyou, and as if he was cheering himself up. He sat up slightly, with a hint of longing in his eyes, and began to describe their future blueprint: "Haven't you always wanted to go to Paris? We can stroll along the Champs Elysees and feel the romantic French style. The street cafe exudes a rich aroma of coffee. We can find an open-air seat to sit down, watch people coming and going, and enjoy a lazy afternoon. The Louvre houses countless art treasures. I want to accompany you to appreciate them one by one, and listen to your insights on each painting and sculpture."

Jiang Ciyou listened to his description, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and those beautiful pictures emerged in her mind. She had been to Paris, but her mood at that time was completely different from the scene she imagined walking with Lu Jingchen at this moment. In the past, she was busy with work and took a quick photo under the Eiffel Tower, without having time to appreciate the true charm of Paris. But now, she seemed to see herself and Lu Jingchen holding hands, walking through the streets and alleys of Paris, feeling the soul of this city, and their sweet footprints will be left in every corner.

"And Greece, a country full of myths." Lu Jingchen's interest grew, his eyes sparkling like the brightest stars in the night sky. "We're going to Santorini and staying in a blue and white cliff hotel. Every morning, we'll be awakened by the first ray of sunshine, and when we open the window, we'll be able to see the azure Aegean Sea. We'll stroll along the beach, with the fine sand under our feet, and the sea breeze blowing gently, carrying the unique salty smell of the sea. Maybe we'll even be able to hear the old people telling the legendary stories of ancient Greek heroes in the local taverns, as if we've traveled through time and space and returned to that mysterious and glorious era."

Jiang Ciyou laughed softly, as if she was already in that dreamlike beauty, and the haze in her heart gradually dissipated. Lu Jingchen could always use his words to outline a beautiful future for her, making her believe that happiness was not out of reach.

"When we are tired of playing, we will go back to our home." Lu Jingchen's tone became gentle and intimate. He gently held Jiang Ciyou's hand, intertwining their fingers. "We want to build a cozy nest of our own. It doesn't need to be too big, but it must be full of our memories. There should be a large French window in the living room to let the sun shine in, and a soft sofa where we can watch movies and read books. The kitchen should be equipped with your favorite cabinets. I will learn how to cook and make delicious food for you every day to make you fat."

Jiang Ciyou's cheeks flushed slightly, and she glanced at him in a reproachful manner: "I don't want to gain weight." But her heart was sweet, imagining Lu Jingchen busy in the kitchen with an apron on, the picture was both warm and a little funny. She had never thought that one day there would be a man who was willing to cook for her and build such an ordinary and happy life scene for her.

"There should be a super big bed in the bedroom, with the softest sheets." Lu Jingchen smiled wickedly, blinked, and moved closer to Jiang Ciyou, saying in a low voice, "This way we can roll around when we sleep at night without worrying about falling down." Jiang Ciyou was amused by him and laughed non-stop, reaching out and hitting him lightly: "You are never serious."

"I'm talking about serious matters." Lu Jingchen pretended to be aggrieved, sat up straight, cleared his throat, and continued, "In the future we will have a family of our own and have some cute babies." When he mentioned children, his eyes were full of expectation and doting, "If it's a girl, she must look like you, with big eyes and two dimples when she smiles. She must be very lovable. I will spoil her like a little princess, buy her lots of beautiful dresses, take her to the amusement park, and make her childhood full of happiness."

Jiang Ciyou listened to his words, her heart was filled with ripples and tears flashed in her eyes. She thought of her childhood, when her parents were busy with work and had little time to accompany her. Her childhood was always a little lonely. But now, the picture Lu Jingchen described made her see a completely different future, a childhood full of love and companionship, not only for their children, but also to make up for the regrets she once had deep in her heart.

"If it's a boy, he'll look like you, handsome and smart." Jiang Ciyou spoke softly, his voice choking with sobs, "I want to teach him to be kind, brave, and responsible. We'll watch him grow up together, teach him to ride a bike, play football with him, and witness every moment of his growth."

Lu Jingchen gently took Jiang Ciyou into his arms, let her lean on his chest, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said softly: "Whether it is a boy or a girl, we will give him full love and let him grow up in a happy family. Our family will be together forever and spend every spring, summer, autumn and winter together."

Jiang Ciyou leaned in Lu Jingchen's arms, feeling his strong heartbeat. The steady rhythm seemed to have a kind of magic that gradually calmed her heart. She closed her eyes, immersed in this beautiful vision, and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that this happiness could really last. At this moment, she forgot the pain of the past and the difficulties she might face in the future. She only wished that time would stay in this warm moment, so that her and Lu Jingchen's love story could continue to be written as they expected, full of sweetness and laughter, until the end of time.

The night was getting darker, the stars were still shining, and the two people on the balcony, hugging each other in the night, fell into a sweet dream with infinite vision for the future. In the dream, they seemed to have embarked on those beautiful journeys, surrounded by their lovely children, and laughter echoed in every corner...
