Mint was stunned for a moment and looked at the courtyard in front of her in disbelief. It turned out to be her former home!

Every inch of soil, every plant and every tree here is the most familiar to her. She was born here and grew up here. There is also her favorite musical fountain in the courtyard. The fountain makes a tinkling sound and is colorful.

The lights shine, more beautiful than the rainbow.

Guan Shouheng gently held her waist, which was slightly thicker, and led her further inside, "Go in and take a look."

Further inside is the main building, a two-story duplex villa with a high ceiling design and fine beige floor tiles. The hundreds of square meters of space are divided into several simple areas, and a spiral staircase leads directly to the second floor.

The view there was excellent, with a beautiful floor-to-ceiling window in front and a lush forest park behind. She gently opened the window and the fresh breath of the trees floated in. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

When I opened my eyes again, I found that the corners of my eyes were sore.

An indescribable melancholy mingled with the scenery, making her feel like crying.

She knew that with his current financial capacity, he could buy a newer and better house, but she really liked this place the most.

Here are the memories of her childhood, the happiness of her childhood, and the sweet memories of her girlhood.

When they were secretly in love, she stood in front of the window every night, watching him riding a bicycle under the big tree from a distance.

"Do you like it here?" he asked with a low smile.

She raised the corners of her lips and wanted to smile at him, but she couldn't control her tears. She was so excited that she couldn't speak, so she had to nod her head vigorously. She loved it so much!

"As long as you like it, we will live here from now on." He gently wiped her tears and took her to continue the tour.

The layout of the second floor has been slightly changed, with two more small rooms.

"This is An An's room. It has been decorated and the bed has been put in." He opened the door of the room and an exclusive children's room was revealed in front of her.

She recognized the bed as the one she had seen in his apartment, the largest of the ten beds.

Although it is a children's bed, its size has reached the specifications of a standard single bed, so An An can still sleep in it now.

"It finally came in handy!" Guan Shouheng said with emotion, the satisfaction and joy in his tone could not be concealed.

Mint was even happier than him. His wish was also hers, and it was finally fulfilled.

"Look here again." He looked at her hand and walked to the next door. This was a nursery, obviously prepared for the little baby in her belly.

Although the ultrasound cannot yet identify men and women, he has taken it upon himself to decorate the room in pink, with pink curtains, pink gauze, a pink cradle, and a pink crib.

She also recognized the small crib as one of his collections.

"Although this style is a bit simple, I think our baby won't mind." Guan Shouheng said with emotion. This was the first crib he bought after going abroad, and it was the best he could afford at the time.

It's a good one, but now it looks a little ordinary.

"I won't mind, it's so beautiful!" Mint caressed the newly added pink lace decoration on the bedpost. With such a caring father, the little baby will definitely like it.

There are two large baskets placed in the corner. The baskets are filled with toys. There are many dolls, big and small, some that can talk, some that can sing, and a few cute velvet dolls.

Mint looked at those baby products, and her heart suddenly felt soft.

She thanked God for his kindness and gave them another child and gave him another chance to be a father, satisfying his most ardent hope over the years.

Before her tears overflowed, Guan Shouheng hurriedly pulled her downstairs. At the corner of the stairs was the kitchen. He deliberately said jokingly, "Considering that our family will have a larger population in the future, I separated the kitchen and

The restaurant has been opened, is it spacious enough? If you don’t know how to cook, leave everything to me..."

"Hey! Who said I can't do it? I've obviously made a lot of progress in the past few years!" She protested coquettishly.

Guan Shouheng did not comment, and An An, who had been following behind, did not comment.

Father and son have obviously reached a tacit understanding in some respects.

Bo Mint was also very self-aware and did not argue with them, but continued to visit. When she walked around the stairs and walked to the opposite side, she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the sunny room with good lighting.

Everything in that room is so familiar!

"Mom, this room belongs to grandma. Dad said it would be more convenient for her to move around if she lived on the first floor." An An explained.

Mint was slightly startled, and an unspeakable sadness swept through her heart. She really didn't expect that he would do this.

Although the mother's case has not been finalized yet, and I don't know if I can wait until the day I am lucky enough to be released from prison, but his heart is rare!

After all, his mother did that to him back then.

"Can you really forgive her?" she asked with difficulty.

Guan Shouheng nodded solemnly.

In fact, forgiving Shen Mei is equivalent to forgiving himself.

That day he went to the prison hospital, and when Shen Mei asked Bo Mint to study abroad in Paris, he truly realized the good intentions of a mother.

All mothers in the world are the same, they want to put the best things in the world in front of their children, and Shen Mei is no exception.

It's just that Mint is not only a daughter to her, but also carries her lifelong support and hope, so she has always used strict discipline to be kind and powerful. But in the final analysis, it all stems from one word - love.

Back then, he really couldn't gain Shen Mei's trust, so he had no reason to hate her.

Now that he has a child, he can better understand the thoughts of a parent. If his daughter has to elope with a man who has nothing in the future, he will also be worried.

Only after experiencing setbacks can one realize how difficult life is; only after experiencing pain can one know how to cherish it; only after experiencing stubbornness can one understand the meaning of maturity. In ten years, it is not just his age that has changed, he will do better in the future than before.

.

Mint was so moved that she wanted to cry, but she also wanted to smile at him, so she ended up laughing and crying, crying and laughing, over and over again, like a child.

She didn't know what to say, so in the end she had to hold his big hand tightly. Because of her pregnancy, she couldn't wear a ring, so her ten-carat diamond ring was temporarily worn on his little finger. But back then

The 10-euro ring was put back on her neck. Two rings, one love!

There is nothing happier than this in the world!

***

After the opening ceremony of the expo, Mint quit her job and concentrated on raising her baby at home.

The small attic was demolished. Guan Shouheng did not ask for money, but asked for a house to move back to. It was their former love nest and he was reluctant to sell it.

During the demolition, the demolition was based on a one-to-one ratio, so the area of ​​the relocated house was not large. He did not add money to it. He just wanted to preserve the original flavor as much as possible.

In the blink of an eye, Mint was six months pregnant.

Guan Shouheng's nerves became extremely tense.

This number made him feel flustered and even scared unconsciously.

Fortunately, the doctor told them that everything was normal and the baby was very healthy.

But there is also an unfortunate thing. If you want to use the baby's umbilical cord blood to save An'an, you will have to undergo surgery by the end of the month at the latest.

But the baby was far from the due date, and it was completely impossible to give birth by caesarean section in advance.

Therefore, for the sake of her child, Mint had no choice but to work hard on herself. She decided to undergo an operation to extract the umbilical cord blood of her pregnant baby.

Before the doctor could finish speaking, cold sweat broke out on Guan Shouheng's back, but he still held her fingers tightly with his trembling hands to give her strength and encouragement.

This was the first time An An learned about his physical condition, and he burst into tears instantly.

It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I know that the mother and the baby in her belly will have to endure so much pain in order to save him.

"Mom, I don't want... please stop doing it, can we go home?" An An begged.

"Silly boy, don't cry...it's okay..."

"I'm not afraid, but..." An An suddenly couldn't say any more and started crying with a "wow" sound. This was the first time she had grown up and cried so hard. She really looked like a child.

"An'an..."

Guan Shouheng's eye circles were already red, but he couldn't persuade anyone. The only thing he could do was to hug them tightly. No matter what the outcome, he would never let go of their hands, even if it meant death.

Under Mint's tearful eyes and Guan Shouheng's encouragement, An An finally agreed, and he underwent a series of physical examinations.

Fortunately, all his indicators are stable and there are no signs of illness in the near future. This situation is very conducive to accepting cord blood donation.

A few days later, Bo Mint was admitted to the hospital together with An An, pregnant with the baby.

Guan Shouheng also stayed with her in the hospital day and night.

From then on, the family's days of happiness and pain began.

Of course Mint is the one who has the hardest time. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the physical and psychological burdens of pregnant women will increase, let alone her.

The discomfort of pregnancy and the upcoming preparations for collecting umbilical cord blood made her suffer. But no matter how uncomfortable and hard she was, she persisted and smiled.

According to the consultation of multiple doctors, it was decided that the baby's umbilical cord blood should be extracted three times during pregnancy, step by step, with more and more blood drawn each time, and the pain she endured became more severe each time.

"Mrs. Guan, for the sake of the fetus, you cannot use anesthesia. You must be mentally prepared." The doctor warned before starting.

Mint had already thought of it, and she nodded without hesitation, "I will persist!"

Guan Shouheng's heart went back and forth several times in an instant. He held her hand tightly and said comfortingly, "I'll go in with you!"

"No need..." Mint shook his head repeatedly.

"I insist!"

The doctor saw Guan Shouheng's behavior in recent days and knew that there was no way to stop it. Moreover, with him around, the pregnant woman could divert her attention and the pain would not be so severe.

"Okay, Mr. Guan, you go change into sterile clothes first."
