Later, Qin Lei carried her when the road was empty, hurriedly putting her down when people appeared in the distance, picking her up again when the coast was clear. They walked like this, stopping and starting, until they reached the street. After that, she would not return to the street until the children were grown.
It was only after all those years of hard work that she gradually regained her strength and returned to the street. Now, it seemed her husband still thought of her just as she was back then.
But he really had kept his promise, treating Qin Xue and her brother as his own children, and lavishing love and affection on her as he did when they first met.
Thinking of their passionate encounter last night, he caressed her and said, "Shulan, I love you as much as I did in the beginning. To have you as my wife, I would die without regrets." Before she could stop him from saying such things, he showed her his feelings with actions instead of words.
