The two of them shared a tender moment, and then Cai Zhihua let go of Chen Bing. He stared at her affectionately, touching her face with a pained expression and guilt written all over his face. "Bing, I apologize, I..."
Thinking back on recent times, how he had carelessly indulged in gambling as if bewitched, how he had neglected himself, how he had even lifted a hand against her, he was filled with profound guilt and regret. However, he found himself loving her more than ever.
"Zhihua, don't say anything else, as long as you're alright," Chen Bing said, clasping his hand tightly and shaking her head vigorously.
Cai Zhihua responded with a chuckle, "As long as we are okay in the future, that's all that matters!"
"Mmm!" Chen Bing replied, her tears of joy breaking into a radiant smile.
Everything felt so sweet, so beautiful.
With all the challenges and hardships behind them, as long as she could be with the man she loved, what did it matter what they had been through?
