The atmosphere was like a powder keg about to explode. Two completely different wills collided in the air, creating an atmosphere of tension that was almost palpable.

Jiang Mingyuan spoke calmly, decisively cutting off the dispute, "That's enough, Minghui, take your wife back. Today's matter ends here."

Li Huimin's face was stained with tears. She was sobbing and pulling Jiang Minghui's arm, "Let's go, we are not welcome here."

Jiang Minghui glared at Shen Qingyue and Jiang Mingyuan, turned around, took Li Huimin, and left in a hurry. Their backs looked a little forlorn.

Jiang Mingyuan watched them leave, turned around and entered the house. Shen Qingyue asked softly, "Are you really okay?"

Jiang Mingyuan looked at Shen Qingyue with deep eyes, "I just did what I should do."

Shen Qingyue nodded slightly, with a rare tenderness in her eyes.

"Let's go back to my mother for dinner tonight. My mother said she wants to see you."

Jiang Mingyuan looked out the window, the sky was getting darker, just like his voice, indifferent and distant, "Okay."

His eyes were fixed on Shen Qingyue again, those deep eyes seemed to be able to understand everything, "Wait for Dongdong to come."

Shen Qingyue smiled slightly, with a calm and unhurried power in her smile, and she opened her red lips lightly.

"Dongdong should be back soon."

The wind outside the window gradually brought the winter chill, but it seemed that it could not blow through the warmth in this room.

Shen Qingyue turned around and began to prepare for Xue Meiniang the next day, with a neat approach, just like the way she handled things.

Jiang Mingyuan frowned slightly, a little surprised, "Isn't Dongdong going to come back by himself today?"

Shen Qingyue made an understatement, as if she had expected this question, "I'm afraid he will be late, why don't you pick him up on the way."

Jiang Mingyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "That's fine."

In the afternoon, when the sun began to turn westward, Jiang Mingyuan set off on time.

Dongdong ran over excitedly, "Dad, you are really here!"

Jiang Mingyuan said lightly "Yeah" with gentle eyes, "Let's go, your mother is waiting at home."

The three of them were walking side by side on the way back to Shen Qingyue's parents' home. Jiang Mingyuan's tall and straight posture was in sharp contrast with Dongdong's immature steps.

Shen Qingyue walked calmly, and her eyes were always so calm, even in the dim dusk.

Dongdong was eager to try and seemed a little impatient, "Mom, let's hurry up, okay?"

Shen Qingyue looked at her son, her eyes full of love, "Don't be in a hurry, you always need to eat."

Jiang Mingyuan listened quietly to the conversation between mother and son. The wind on the road blew the tips of Shen Qingyue's hair. She gently tucked the loose hair behind her ears. That movement was very calm.

"Yueer, I'm back." Zhou Guifang's voice, like the warm wind in spring, always makes people feel at ease.

Shen Qingyue nodded slightly, a soft look flashed in his eyes, "Mom, I'm back."

Lin Shuang, with a rosier face after recovery, said softly, "Mingyuan, thank you for your hard work."

Next to her was the little daughter, who was more vivid than spring flowers, blinking at Jiang Mingyuan with her big clear eyes.

Jiang Mingyuan's eyes fell on the little girl, and there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes that were originally as cold as ice.

However, his words were still concise and cold, "It's not hard." Shen Heyue walked out of the study, his steps were steady, as solid as his own, "Mingyuan, you did a good job this time."

Jiang Mingyuan nodded and said nothing.

At the dinner table, everyone had their own aura, but under Zhou Guifang's warm words, those auras seemed to soften a lot.

"You're welcome to eat food, eat food." Zhou Guifang's words were full of meticulous care.

Lin Shuang put a piece of vegetables into Jiang Mingyuan's bowl, smiled and said, "Thank you for your help during this time."

Jiang Mingyuan only nodded lightly, but his heart was filled with ups and downs.

He cast his eyes on Shen Qingyue, that woman who always faced everything calmly. It seemed that the iceberg in front of her family would one day melt.

Shen Qingyue and Jiang Mingyuan looked at each other, with a faint smile in their eyes, but also a hint of unnoticeable fatigue, "Let's eat."

After the meal, the moonlight was like water. Shen Qingyue stood in the yard and breathed out gently, as if she wanted to spit out all the burden of the day.

Jiang Mingyuan walked to her side and stood side by side with her.

"You're tired." His voice was still calm, but with a hint of concern.

Shen Qingyue chuckled, "Compared to those endless disputes, the tranquility here is more cherished."

Jiang Mingyuan looked deeply at Shen Qingyue, "You are right, this tranquility is the most important."

Jiang Mingyuan looked at the lively little daughter in Lin Shuang's arms. That innocent laughter was like the sound of the melting river in spring, arousing ripples that had never appeared in his heart.

His eyes flickered slightly, and there was a wave of emotion in his heart, but he quickly sank into the eyes that were as calm as an ancient well.

"Mingyuan, you see your Dongdong is getting older. Shouldn't you give him a companion?"

Lin Shuang asked with a soft smile, her eyes full of happiness.

Jiang Mingyuan's eyes dimmed slightly. The warm picture in front of him made him yearn for it, but he had to take back his unrealistic thoughts immediately.

In this era of strict family planning policies, wanting to have a second child means that he may lose his stable job, which is a heavy price to pay.

He replied calmly, "Dongdong has us by his side, that's enough."

Shen Qingyue walked out of the kitchen with freshly brewed tea in her hand. When she heard this, she frowned slightly. She knew Jiang Mingyuan's thoughts, but she was helpless.

After dinner, when they were the only two people left in the yard, Jiang Mingyuan stood quietly in the night and revealed his plan to Shen Qingyue.

"Qingyue, I plan to start a small business." Jiang Mingyuan said solemnly, "The long-distance transportation in the factory can secretly contain some private goods."

Shen Qingyue could hear the hidden determination and risk in his words, "This is very risky, have you thought about it?"

Jiang Mingyuan's face looked more resolute in the moonlight, "For the sake of my family, I have to give it a try. I have calculated that as long as I am cautious and not greedy, I should..."

"It should be no problem." Shen Qingyue interrupted him, with inherent calmness and determination in his eyes, "I support you."

Jiang Mingyuan looked at the blurry stars in the distance, his voice low and steady, "The wave of reform is already surging in the south. I have seen it during transportation. Those new era clothes and shoes are very popular in the market."

Shen Qingyue raised her head slightly, the moonlight shone on her calm face, and a glint flashed in her eyes, "Then have you ever considered that we can buy some goods from the south and sell them here?"
