The fact that Qin Zhaoyu and Bai Jixi were together was ultimately discovered first by Bai Pengpeng. She noticed that her brother had been in an unusually good mood lately, and since she knew he had feelings for Zhaoyu, she suspected it might be related. After observing for a while, she confirmed that there was indeed something going on.
Once Bai Pengpeng found out, it was as if all their friends knew too. It wasn’t that Bai Pengpeng was particularly gossipy—she just couldn’t wait for Zhaoyu to become her sister-in-law. How could she tolerate anyone with ulterior motives trying to get close to Zhaoyu?
Soon enough, everyone who needed to know was aware that Qin Zhaoyu was under Bai Jixi’s protection. Those with any sense wisely kept their distance to avoid angering him.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye. During that time, Qin Zhaoyu had successfully treated more and more patients, with failures so rare they could be counted on one hand. Her reputation grew, and patients from all over the world sought her out daily. The title of “Divine Healer” was firmly hers.
Meanwhile, her relationship with Bai Jixi flourished steadily, as did Ben Yuan Zhai and Yu Meiren. Ben Yuan Zhai had become a nationally renowned brand, with stores across the country. Yu Meiren, after several rounds of financing, was preparing to go public.
At some point, Lu Yaoqing and Bai Pengpeng had gotten together, their relationship just as stable. Han Shuying, however, remained happily single. As she put it, with money, there was no shortage of attractive partners.

“Brother, your hands are shaking!” Bai Pengpeng, dressed in a red cocktail dress, noticed her brother trembling as he held the bouquet.
Bai Jixi ignored her, his thoughts consumed by the fact that he would soon see Zhaoyu. The girl he had loved for five years was about to become his wife. They would spend their lives together, perhaps even have one or two children. A life he couldn’t have imagined six or seven years ago.
Ignored, Bai Pengpeng didn’t press further. Knowing her brother was nervous on his wedding day, she gave him space.
The wedding took place on a private island Bai Jixi had bought in their second year together. From the moment of purchase, he had meticulously transformed it, envisioning it as the perfect setting for their marriage—a place that would hold only their shared memories.
Today, the island was even more breathtaking, adorned in a dreamy fairytale style, with flowers symbolizing love everywhere. The guest list was intimate—given Bai Jixi’s status and Zhaoyu’s prominence, they wanted no disruptions, inviting only close friends.
Bai Jixi had never been religious. In the past, he believed in relying on himself rather than any deity. But as he watched Zhaoyu walk toward him in her wedding dress, he couldn’t help but feel grateful to the heavens, even silently praying for their eternal union. When she was almost before him, he stepped forward, unable to resist taking her hand.
The guests chuckled at the groom’s eagerness.
There was no officiant or priest. Bai Jixi and Qin Zhaoyu stood facing each other, exchanging a smile.
Bai Jixi raised the ring and said, “I never thought I’d fall in love—I even believed I might grow old alone. But after meeting you, I realized I could never bear solitude again. I want to share every meal, every walk, every moment of life with you, until the very end. Qin Zhaoyu, will you have me?”
Zhaoyu nodded with a smile, extending her hand for the ring. Then she took the other one and said, “I don’t know how to express my love, but every second spent with you from now on will be happiness.”
As she slid the ring onto his finger, Bai Jixi lifted her veil, cradled her face, and kissed her.
Just then, a breeze swept through, scattering petals into the air—a perfect scene, a perfect couple, a perfect love story.
