\u00a0<\/p>\n

When the couple came out of the bathroom, Zachary looked satisfied, while Serenity was incredibly shy.<\/p>\n

Seeing his beloved wife\u2019s flushed face, Zachary couldn\u2019t help but lean over and give her another kiss. \u201cWife, we\u2019ve been married for so long, why are you still blushing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems she is very satisfied with her husband\u2019s performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShut up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serenity gently patted his mouth, stopping him from saying anything more.<\/p>\n

She sat back down on the bed, gently lifted the blanket and lay down next to her daughter. Looking at her daughter\u2019s peaceful sleeping face, her eyes were so tender they could melt.<\/p>\n

Zachary stood behind her, one hand supporting himself on the bed, the other hand reaching across her body to gently pinch his daughter\u2019s little face.<\/p>\n

Serenity immediately slapped his hand away and whispered to him, \u201cIf you wake her up, she\u2019ll cry and fuss, and you\u2019ll be in charge of comforting her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary laughed, \u201cI didn\u2019t use much force, how could I wake her up?\u201d<\/p>\n

He couldn\u2019t bear to pinch his precious daughter too hard. If he pinched her until her face turned red, her grandmother would skin him alive if she found out.<\/p>\n

Then, when his parents returned from Yangcheng, they gave him a mixed doubles beating.<\/p>\n

His parents never beat or scolded him and his brother from childhood to adulthood, but now that they are grandfathers, they sometimes scold him and his two sons without mercy in order to protect their grandchildren.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, when his mother got really angry, she would slap him on the arm.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeibei wants you when she wants to sleep. No matter how much we love her, she still prefers her mother.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary\u2019s words were tinged with jealousy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right, I carried her for ten months and gave birth to her. She\u2019s connected to me by blood, and I\u2019ve spent the most time taking care of her. Of course, she\u2019s closest to me, her mother.\u201d<\/p>\n

She gently bent down and softly kissed her daughter.
\nThen he lay down, still holding his daughter\u2019s small body in one arm.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost children like to cling to their mothers when they are young, and their mothers\u2019 embrace is their safe haven.\u201d<\/p>\n

She thought of her mother.<\/p>\n

Her parents have been gone from her and her sister for over twenty years.<\/p>\n

Even though she and her sister are living well now, Serenity still has many regrets when she thinks of her parents.<\/p>\n

It is a pity that the parents will not live to see the sisters\u2019 success and happiness, and it is a pity that the sisters will not be able to fulfill their filial duties for even a day, as their parents have already passed away.<\/p>\n

Every time she goes back to her hometown with her sister, she always thinks, how happy it would be if their parents were still alive, and the two sisters could go back to their parents\u2019 home, be greeted by their parents, and have someone respond when they call out \u201cMom and Dad\u201d.<\/p>\n

After getting married and having children, Serenity felt envious and saddened when she saw others returning to their parents\u2019 homes during holidays, and she missed her parents even more.<\/p>\n

She used to be able to go back to her sister\u2019s house, which was her maternal home.<\/p>\n

Now that her older sister lives in Jiangcheng and is very busy with work, she comes back less often, and sometimes she doesn\u2019t even go back to Dongguan for holidays. Serenity feels like she has no family home to return to.<\/p>\n

That emotional void is something that the husband\u2019s family, the Guan family, cannot make up for.<\/p>\n

Even if her aunt loves her like her own daughter, her aunt is still her aunt and can\u2019t replace her parents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary gently kissed her cheek, \u201cWhat are you thinking about so intently?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI miss my parents. I have a son and a daughter now and I am living a very happy life. If my parents were alive, they would be so happy to see my sister and me living such happy lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

She turned around, hugged Zachary, and said softly, \u201cHusband, we must live well, live to be eighty or ninety years old, and see our children grow up, get married, and start their own families.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, we want to live to be eighty or ninety, ideally a hundred. Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re all very careful and take good care of our health. We wouldn\u2019t dare say a hundred, but ninety is definitely achievable. Grandma lived a long life, and we have her genes for longevity; we can live long lives too.\u201d<\/p>\n
