The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO’s Wife - Chapter 276
Shen Yin didn’t have much of a reaction, but then Su Jin continued, saying that after being selected, there would not only be certificates of honor and various awards, but also prize money.
Shen Yin wasn’t particularly interested in the small amount of prize money. The main thing was that being selected would further elevate her reputation.
Sure enough, Su Jin’s next words brought even better news. The gist was that because of her excellent work, Shen Yin could represent their country on the international fashion stage, stepping onto the world scene.
Shen Yin now regarded Su Jin as a respected senior, speaking to her with the familiarity of a friend or family member. Su Jin reciprocated, genuinely delighted for Shen Yin’s success.
Just as they finished speaking, the baby Yun Mo’er began to cry in her crib. Hearing this, Su Jin suddenly realized how quickly time had passed – in the blink of an eye, Shen Yin’s baby had already been born.
At the one-month celebration for the Heyuan Group’s little princess, everyone who could attend did so, including Xue Kai and Ye Rong, as well as representatives from major corporations and even media reporters.
Xu Xiuhe was already well-known in Rong City. At a young age, he had amassed billions in assets and founded a conglomerate, catapulting him to the status of Rong City’s wealthiest individual. To him, Shen Yin was a capable partner, a friend, and the person he loved most in the world.
“Mama, Grandma Su is here. She says she’s come to see little sister,” Zhengzheng ran up to Shen Yin, who had just completed her month of postpartum confinement. Thanks to the excellent care she had received, she was radiant and glowing.
Standing there, she was the center of attention in the crowd.
Xu Xiuhe stood beside Shen Yin, his face wreathed in smiles, completely unlike the rumors about him. Now he was just an ordinary husband, carrying his wife’s bag and tidying the stray hairs at her temples.
The Sun Family from South City had also sent representatives. The entire hall was filled with the sounds of conversation and admiration.
“Yun Mo’er, this is your great-uncle,” Shen Yin said, carrying her baby to Xu Xiuhe’s uncle and aunt.
Unable to speak, Yun Mo’er’s eyes darted around. Seeing so many people for the first time, she wasn’t quite comfortable and tilted her head to nestle against Shen Yin’s chest.
“Haha, Mo’er is feeling shy!” everyone laughed. After seeing little Xu Yun Mo, the guests didn’t linger, moving off to chat with friends.
Xu Xiuhe, worried that Shen Yin might tire, took Yun Mo from her and escorted Shen Yin to the presidential suite upstairs.
Shu Yi and Qi Ji followed, each carrying a child. When they reached the top floor, they encountered Xiao Li’er, who was also holding a baby.
With four children and three mothers, there was no end to their conversation topics. The group chatted in the room for a long time, with only Shu Yi unable to contribute much, instead entertaining the babies.
“Sister Shu Yi, you should listen carefully. Who knows, it might be your turn next year,” Qi Ji joked.
Shu Yi blushed for just a second before retorting, “Who says? I’m not even married yet.”
Qi Ji and Shen Yin shared a secret smile. Soon, perhaps by the end of the year, she would be.
That evening, when they returned home, Aunt Song had been waiting for them. Dinner was ready in the kitchen, and Xu Yun Mo lay in her crib nearby as the family of three sat down to eat.
Xu Yunzheng regaled them with amusing stories from kindergarten, and the family enjoyed a warm, harmonious meal together.
Aunt Song stood to the side, watching the scene with a contented smile. How wonderful, she thought. The wish from two years ago seemed to have come true.
That night, as Shen Yin slept, she unconsciously kicked off the blanket. Xu Xiuhe, half-asleep, noticed and habitually pulled the cover back over her.
Perhaps sensing this, Shen Yin opened her eyes to see Xu Xiuhe and gently stroked his eyebrow. In a soft, almost murmuring voice, she said:
“Through distant years, a lifetime of tenderness.”
Although the original phrase described brotherly affection, it conveyed exactly what Shen Yin wanted to express. It could apply to familial love, friendship, or romantic love.
In the long journey of life, feelings remain as they were. No matter how long the years, there will always be someone waiting for you in the depths of time, loving you. They will transcend time and space, cross mountains and seas, to save each other. There’s a gentle tenderness, ordinary yet eternal, like a quiet stream flowing endlessly.
Nestled beneath the moonlight, they companionably gazed at each other in silence. Tomorrow would be another new day.
