Chapter 731: Rewriting Fate

Xiang Shan looked at Leng Ruoli. "I couldn't possibly kick up a fuss and insist on shamelessly begging him. If that would work, I'd do it. We live in reality—how do you know we won't end up together in the future?"

"As long as I'm good enough, he and I have a future. Fate is a very mysterious thing. I never imagined that after ten years I'd still fall so hopelessly in love with this man, throwing caution to the wind."

Xiang Shan smiled. "I've sunk myself on him for this whole life of mine, but he absolutely cannot sink himself on me. There's something better waiting for him."

Because she liked him, she could no longer stand in the way of his search for happiness.

If they were fated, they would surely meet again.

When that time came, whether they mended the broken mirror or parted ways, at least they wouldn't have to glare red-eyed at each other and tear into each other with insults. They could keep a bit of dignity between them.

Why insist on a certain ending? Only ask that you've loved, and that your conscience is clear.

Leng Ruoli didn't understand at all. Her bewildered gaze met Xiang Shan's.

Xiang Shan smiled gently. "You're still young. You don't get it. It's fine—you don't need to. You're luckier than me. Much happier."

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the handsome Jiang Muye beside Leng Ruoli.

Jiang Muye gave Xiang Shan a polite nod.

After a calm smile, Xiang Shan had already turned and left.

Though Leng Ruoli felt some regret, she couldn't force her own mother to reconcile with her father.

"What a shame. I thought I could rewrite fate," Leng Ruoli sighed.

"How do you know fate hasn't been rewritten?" Jiang Muye's sudden sentence left Leng Ruoli stunned.

"In the grand scheme of things, everything is for the best. Who knows." Jiang Muye wasn't about to jinx his Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law's relationship. Perhaps the way things unfolded would turn out just as he hoped.

Feelings were unpredictable to begin with.

Just as he had once liked Xia Xiran so deeply he couldn't pull himself out, yet could he ever have imagined that afterward he'd fall for Leng Ruoli and love her with all his heart?

Feelings were unfathomable things to begin with. Everything would be left to fate's arrangements.

"I hope so," Leng Ruoli said, clasping Jiang Muye's hand. "I don't know about anything else, but I do know you're the best arrangement of my life."

Jiang Muye's lips curved up. He said to Leng Ruoli, "Come on, let's go home."

"Okay, Darling, I want to eat sweet and sour pork." Leng Ruoli smiled at him. "I'm craving something sweet."

"Then I'll take you to a restaurant."

"The restaurants here aren't good. I want the sweet and sour pork you make. You're not willing to make it for me?" Leng Ruoli huffed.

"How could I not? Of course I'm willing. My Darling is pregnant and wants sweet and sour pork—if I weren't willing to make it, wouldn't that make me a scumbag?" Jiang Muye smiled at her.

Leng Ruoli threw herself into Jiang Muye's arms, rubbing her delicate little face against his chest. "You're so good."

Jiang Muye kissed Leng Ruoli's ear. "As long as you don't go into the kitchen!"

"Oho, now you've started looking down on me~!"

"No, I'm just afraid you'll get tired. I didn't say your cooking is bad~" Jiang Muye said with a smile.

"I didn't say you were looking down on my cooking. Look at you—you're completely giving yourself away!" Leng Ruoli's little face puffed up with anger.

Jiang Muye lowered his head and gently pinched Leng Ruoli's cheek with his fingers. "Silly girl, I didn't confess to anything. You really can imagine things on your own. I just want to show off my true skills. If you're helping on the side, it'll affect how I perform."

Leng Ruoli giggled foolishly. "Fine then, I'll do the Ge You slouch!"

"Good. I even bought you a massage chair. When your back and waist ache, just give it a massage!"

"Darling, you're way too good to me. Knowing I'm pregnant now and always have back and waist aches~ I'm touched."

"That's all it takes to move you? Then when I make the sweet and sour pork later, are you going to cry?"

"I'm sentimental, but my tear glands aren't that developed. If they kept dripping, my eyes would easily hurt."

"If your eyes hurt, then I'll get you some eye drops."

"Dummy hubby, I meant that crying too much makes your eyes tired. They don't hurt right now~"

"Doesn't matter, I still have to prepare them. Otherwise, if your eyes really do hurt and you're crying with snot and tears, how my heart would ache."

"Alright, being thorough is best!"

The two figures slowly left the airport, leaving behind only traces of tranquil, peaceful years.

Someone couldn't rest easy about someone else and secretly went to the sofa to check on her, only to find she had slept so soundly on the massage chair that she'd fallen asleep.

Heh heh.

He was utterly captivated watching her.

He couldn't tell whether she'd fallen asleep from exhaustion or because the massage felt too good.

In the end, Jiang Muye still waited for Leng Ruoli to wake up before telling her to eat.

After all, he couldn't bear to wake her.

He reheated the food for her and watched her sit at the table, drowsily rubbing her face. She was clearly awake, but her eyes still held a trace of haziness, unable to hide their original clarity and brightness.

"Darling, why didn't you wake me? Wuwu, it's so late, you must be hungry."

She even began to reflect on herself. "I've really been living a life of eating then sleeping, sleeping then eating. I start dozing off at the drop of a hat. Whew, so drowsy."

Seeing this, Jiang Muye smiled and said to Leng Ruoli, "As a pregnant woman, always wanting to sleep is normal. After all, you're affected by your endocrine system. If I were pregnant, I reckon I'd sleep even more than you."

"Great, then you go be pregnant. I remember there's a Level-Ten Labor Pain Experience." Leng Ruoli smiled at him.

Jiang Muye let out a dry laugh. "I was just making an analogy, Darling. You wouldn't be so cruel as to really make me try it, would you?"

"I think it's worth a try." Leng Ruoli smiled and nodded—mentioning this made her spirits lift, and she was especially clear-headed.

"Let's do this in the later stages of the pregnancy. By then I'll be able to more deeply appreciate how hard it is for you soon-to-be mothers." Jiang Muye knew just how painful the so-called level-ten labor pain was. If he really tried it, he'd probably be crawling off the chair.

Hearing Jiang Muye's words, Leng Ruoli didn't keep pestering. "Fine, but no going back on it."

When she saw the mask of agony already appear on Jiang Muye's face, she was gloatingly delighted.

Seeing her happy, Jiang Muye's mood naturally grew joyous along with hers.

After Father Leng left, Jiang Muye returned Ruyu Studio to Xiang Shan.

After Xiang Shan took it back over, her career flourished. Moreover, she started up milk tea shops—one after another opened all over the country, even outside the university town.

Jiang Muye even noticed traces of Xiang Shan's milk tea shops right at his own university gate.

Xiang Shan was also very generous. "You're my son-in-law. Drink the milk tea however you like."

Jiang Muye was caught between laughter and tears. It wasn't as if he lacked the money.

Still, having such an awesome Mother-in-Law wasn't a bad thing.

Leng Ruoli's belly grew bigger day by day.

After a prenatal checkup, the first time he saw the little dot on the B-scan slowly growing larger, taking shape, he was especially happy.

He deliberately showed off the ultrasound on Moments, which drew no small number of complaints from his brothers—this dog food was too filling.

I've given an open ending. You can't say for sure they won't end up together, nor that they definitely will. There may be some little hints later on—you can guess for yourselves.
