Ai Sheng marveled endlessly. How much effort must the once-helpless woman have put in to establish a power all on her own, without letting her cultivation fall behind? Now she had even surpassed him.
How much hardship must she have endured to achieve what she had today? Ai Sheng looked at his beloved with heartache. No matter how many years had passed, the woman who had once loved him still loved him as dearly as if it were yesterday. How much good fortune must he have cultivated in his previous life to have a beloved like her!
"Sheng, I have some news for you. Our daughter has grown up now, and you also have a clever, bright nephew."
Ke Meili spoke to Ai Sheng, her face alight with joy.
"A daughter? A nephew? Meili, what is going on?" Ai Sheng asked in astonishment, suddenly bewildered by her words.
"Sheng, I was already pregnant with our daughter when you left. You were gone before I had the chance to tell you. Our daughter was only born after you left."
"But after our daughter was born, she took my surname. I named her Ke Xialing." As Ke Meili said this, she looked at Ai Sheng a little guiltily, afraid he would be angry because their daughter had not taken his surname.
Ai Sheng froze at the news, then broke into a joyful smile. He clasped Ke Meili's hand tightly. "Meili, thank you for giving me such a lovely daughter. I will make it up to both of you."
The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with happiness and anticipation. They knew that many challenges and difficulties still awaited them, but they believed that as long as they joined hands, they would overcome every obstacle.
Afterward, Ai Sheng followed Ke Meili
