An Nuannuan noticed the photo on the table and asked softly.
An Shanhai opened his eyes to look at the photo and forced a bitter smile, "Your mother... her greatest wish was to see you and Nannan find a good ho. And now, in the blink of an eye... this day has co."
An Nuannuan gazed at the photo, the face with the warm smile becoming blurry, yet forever engraved in her life.
"Mom would be happy."
An Nuannuan smiled too, resuming wiping her father's hands with the towel.
An Shanhai looked at his daughter's smiling face, tender, bright, and seemingly always like the gentle sunshine, perfect in the calm of spring.
Just like her mother.
An Shanhai watching his daughter carefully wiping his hands, hesitated several tis before speaking.
"Nuannuan, Dad still wants to ask you one more ti... Have you really decided?"
That brat, he had the nerve to tell him in his face that he couldn't let go of his childhood sweetheart.
Nuannuan should understand what that ant the best.
An Nuannuan's hand paused while wiping, her bright and clear eyes flickering slightly: "I made this decision a long ti ago, and I have been ready for this day for a long ti."
An Shanhai opened his mouth, looking at the faintly happy smile on his daughter's lips, feeling sowhat powerless.
Though the An Family does not flaunt its power, in both political and business circles, a stomp of their foot in Huhai requires careful consideration by others.
For young n like Xu Musen, who have achieved so success, there are countless ways he could be dealt with, whether in business or political circles.
But when it cos to his daughter's decision, he's utterly helpless.
Sure, he could tie up Xu Musen and beat him up, forcing him to completely cut ties with his childhood sweetheart.
But the two people An Shanhai feels he has wronged the most in his life are his daughters, and he understands his daughter's character.
He knows that if he really did that, the first one to turn against him would be his precious daughter.
Now, he really feels like those online sayings describe, watching his daughter bring ho a naive youth with nothing to his na, who nonchalantly presents an ultrasound image.
As her father, he is truly powerless.
"Nuannuan, Dad is not saying he opposes you two, Musen is a very outstanding young man, and we are very satisfied with him, but we are just afraid that you might suffer in the future…"
"Dad."
An Nuannuan softly interrupted him, took out her handkerchief, picked up the photo fra on the table, and wiped it, looking at them in the photo.
"Dad, if you had known early on that mom would leave us so soon, would you regret choosing to be with her?"
"Of course not!"
An Shanhai answered without any hesitation, looking at the photo of the woman with the tender smile, rely regretting why he couldn't have t her sooner, why they couldn't have walked together longer.
"If Dad, given the choice again, knowing you couldn't grow old with mom, would you still choose to be with her?"
An Shanhai stared silently at the silhouette in the photo, his eyes welling up with countless mories they had shared.
He was sowhat lost in thought, yet without a trace of hesitation.
In his mind, there were only regrets about why he didn't et her sooner…
"So," An Nuannuan softly replied, "how could one who truly loves give up the happiness that is within reach just because of a possibly bad outco in the future?"
"But you two..."
"Dad, I've already lost him once."
An Nuannuan shook her head, interrupting her father's words again.
This statent confused An Shanhai, what did she an by having lost him once already, but seeing the fleeting regret and loneliness in An Nuannuan's eyes, he swallowed his words back down.
"Dad, I've already made one cowardly decision, I've tried silently wishing him well. He's also been through experiences where his life was forcibly restricted. Without a doubt, neither of the outcos was what we wanted."
An Nuannuan whispered, in her past life she only dared to hide in the shadows watching him, hoping he would be happy with the one he loved.
But he wasn't happy. Xu Musen's last life was tightly controlled by his childhood sweetheart, and a love without freedom is undoubtedly deford.
If she were to let her father apprehend Xu Musen now, compelling him to make a choice, how would she be any different from Yao Mingyue in her previous life?
It would only be a repeat of the cycle from the previous lifeti.
It would only lead to another tragic ending.
"At this point, I only know one thing. If the future is uncertain, then at least cherish everything that can be held now. I like him, and I won't give up on what can be gained now because of any future outco."
An Nuannuan held the now-clean photo, looking at the gentle smiling mother in the picture, her lips curving in a smile just alike.
"I think mom would think the sa. If she could choose again, she would still choose to save my sister and in the earthquake, even if it ant a certain demise.
She would definitely decide to et you, Dad, even earlier, at her youngest and most beautiful. You and mom might have regrets, but would never repent."
An Shanhai's body trembled, looking at the person in the photo, tasting the bitterness in his heart.
"For , it's the sa. I've understood from the beginning that being with him ans facing these issues. There might be so future regrets, but I will never regret, the brave decision to love him; it's the most correct choice I've made in my life."
