A reborn mother longs for her daughter's happiness.

Chapter 89 5th Wedding Anniversary

Liu Xuan and Li Yuan, this bickering couple, have turned their five years of marriage into a bittersweet comedy. On the evening of their fifth wedding anniversary, the two sat in their cozy yet slightly messy living room, where a unique conversation unfolded.

Liu Xuan looked at Li Yuan and said, pretending to be serious, "Wife, these past five years have made me realize that marrying you is like buying a super complicated lottery ticket of life. Every day you don't know what kind of surprise or shock you'll get. Do you remember when we first met? You were wearing a light yellow dress and stood out like a shining little sun in the crowd. I spotted you at a glance and thought, 'How come this girl is so energetic?'"

Li Yuan smiled and recalled the past: "Hmph, back then, you were so silly, and you even came over to talk to me, asking if I had seen a white puppy. I was wondering at the time, where were there any puppies around? Later I found out that you were just making excuses to talk to me."

Liu Xuan laughed: "That's because you're so attractive. But later on, you really wore me out on our dates. Every time we went out, you would spend a long time getting ready, and I would wait downstairs for almost half an hour. I was so eager to see you."

Li Yuan rolled her eyes and retorted, "You have the nerve to say that? I value our dates. Unlike you, you once came out in slippers. I even wondered if you had just come back from the market."

Liu Xuan scratched his head awkwardly: "That time was an accident. I was in a hurry to leave and didn't pay attention. But you can't keep harping on it. You know, every time you go shopping, it's like a battle. I'm like your little follower, responsible for carrying your bags and bags. My arms are almost broken from carrying them. Like last time we went to that big shopping mall, you went from store to store, I felt like I almost wore the mall floor down."

Li Yuan snorted, "You have the nerve to talk about shopping? Your taste is a complete disaster in the fashion world. Last time I tried on that dress, I looked absolutely stunning, but you said it looked like a big floral sack! I was so angry I almost threw you out of the mall. You have absolutely no romantic sense. Remember our first trip to the beach? I was really looking forward to a heartfelt confession from you, but instead, you were busy collecting seashells, like a child comparing who collected the most."

Liu Xuan smiled sheepishly: "I just thought those seashells were so pretty. But the trip to the beach was still wonderful. We walked together on the beach at night, looking at the starry sky. At that moment, I thought, it would be nice to walk with you like this forever."

Li Yuan's eyes softened: "Yes, although you can be annoying at times, you are also very caring. Like when I was sick, you didn't sleep all night and stayed by my side to take care of me, cooking porridge for me and feeding me medicine. At that time, I felt that marrying you was the right decision."

Liu Xuan sat up straight and said, "Of course, I'm a responsible and good husband. But your cooking skills have improved a little bit in the last five years. When we first got married, the meal you made was absolutely terrible. I forced myself to eat it, and it almost killed me."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes widened: "A tiny bit? You really know how to talk. Do you remember the first time you ate my cooking, the look on your face was like you'd swallowed poison? And I didn't even complain about you ordering takeout all the time. But later, I went to learn how to cook you a decent meal, and you didn't appreciate it at all. And when are you going to get rid of that habit of leaving your socks lying around? I always have to follow you around picking them up. I'm not your maid."

Liu Xuan raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, my dear wife, I was wrong. But don't always criticize me. Don't you often leave your clothes lying around too? Our sofa is almost buried under your clothes. Like last time we went to a friend's party, you were rummaging through your closet looking for clothes before you left, making a mess of the room, and then you blamed me for not tidying up for you."

Li Yuan retorted confidently, "That's because I'm looking for outfit inspiration; you don't understand fashion. Besides, when you're playing games, why don't you say you're like a 'sloppy king'? You sit there for hours on end, and you don't even hear me when I call you. Do you really enjoy fighting and killing in games that much?"

Liu Xuan chuckled: "That's my way of relaxing. You, on the other hand, are always glued to your phone watching those variety shows, laughing like a silly girl. I don't know what's so interesting about them. Last time you watched that variety show, you laughed so loudly that I was startled in the next room."

Li Yuan retorted, "What do you know? That's my source of joy. All you do is watch those boring sports games, a bunch of people running around on the field, what's the point? You often leave me hanging so you can watch the game."

Liu Xuan exaggeratedly clutched his chest: "Wife, you're hurting the heart of a sports enthusiast. Sports competitions are full of passion and energy, unlike those variety shows you watch, which are all just routines. But then again, although we often bicker, we've also experienced many wonderful times together. Like that time we went hiking together, you were panting heavily but still insisted on climbing to the top, and in the end we saw a beautiful sunrise at the top, a view I'll never forget."

Li Yuan rolled her eyes at him: "Stop pretending to be an artsy young man in front of me. The poem you wrote last time, something like 'Ah, my lover is like a flower, a blooming twisted dough stick,' almost made me laugh my head off."

Liu Xuan coughed awkwardly a few times: "That was just a momentary burst of inspiration, I didn't perform well. What about you? Don't you always sing off-key? And you're always howling like a banshee at home."

Li Yuan stood up angrily: "I was practicing my singing. One day I will become a 'Queen of Songs'. Just you wait and see."

Liu Xuan stood up, walked to Li Yuan's side, and hugged her tightly: "Okay, wife, although we often tease each other, we've still made it through these five years, haven't we? Actually, I still love you very much, even though you have so many 'little flaws'. In these five years, we've had laughter and arguments, but every moment is a testament to our love."

Li Yuan leaned against Liu Xuan's chest and whispered, "Hmph, at least you have a conscience. Actually, I know that life wouldn't be as interesting without you by my side. Thank you for being with me for the past five years."

Liu Xuan looked at Li Yuan tenderly: "Happy fifth wedding anniversary, my wife. In the days to come, let's continue to bicker and laugh together."

Li Yuan looked up, tears welling in her eyes, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's work together to scratch out even more big prizes from this 'life lottery' in the future."
