Chapter 5

We were deeply in love, or at least I used to think so.

Duan Qinghong and I fell in love during our university years; we were each other’s first love.

By coincidence, our family backgrounds were quite similar.

Both of us were second-generation Hu City natives.

My family was entrenched in the medical field, while his was involved in real estate development.

Our parents were somewhat renowned within their respective circles.

Having been prepared for a future alliance through marriage since childhood, I always felt fortunate to have met Duan Qinghong.

Perhaps because I never lacked anything, my material desires were always minimal.

I believe that regardless of wealth or social class, the happiest marriages occur when love and compatibility collide head-on.

We dated for four years, studied abroad together, and got married upon returning home.

In the second year of our marriage, we were blessed with our lovely daughter, Duan Tao.

With support from both sets of parents, Duan Qinghong and I saw significant progress in our careers.

Even after many years of marriage, our love remained as fresh as ever, envied by friends and family within our circle.

Everyone marveled at our deep affection, as if we were living the perfect fairy tale ending.

The prince and princess, living happily ever after.
