Chapter 308 The Pretty Widow of the Age 26 (End)
In fact, in the past few years, several people have introduced her to several gay men, including Sister Cuijuan, who is very worried about Chu Yuan's marriage.
However, after Chu Yuan went to meet a few of them, he was completely disgusted. They were all ordinary men whose families had thrones to inherit.
From then on, Chu Yuan said he would not go no matter what. Originally, he just wanted to go to deal with it out of courtesy, but he didn't expect these people to really take him seriously.
Now that the two children have grown up and their academic performance is good, after they are admitted to university, Chu Yuan will have lived up to the original owner's expectations and will be able to retire with honor.
By that time, when national policies are liberalized, she can take Xia Yu to travel around the world and enjoy her own life.
Speaking of Xia Yu, Chu Yuan still remembered that he had promised his uncle to find a good family for her in the city.
She did ask people around her to keep an eye out for them, but Xia Yu didn't like any of them.
Chu Yuan also expressed his understanding of this. After all, men of this era have deep-rooted chauvinism, and it would be better to live alone for the rest of your life than to marry such a person.
So the matter was delayed like this, and my uncle must have scolded her hundreds of times in his heart.

1981/ 4/ 30
The launching ceremony of my country's first ballistic missile nuclear submarine was held.
Chu Yuan sat in front of the TV and watched the entire broadcast from beginning to end. She had paid close attention to news in this area over the years, and whenever there was a related report on TV, she would watch it over and over again.
Although he knew that with his physical condition, even if he participated in the research, it would definitely not be reported, Chu Yuan was still unwilling to miss any information that might be related to him.
It has been 11 years since she last saw Wen Ke. During these 11 years, Wen Ke seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Chu Yuan had been to the house where he lived in East Market countless times. He watched the leaves in the yard turn green and then yellow, watched the residents inside change one after another, and watched the walls outside turn yellow and fall off with the years.
But he never saw Wen Ke again.
She often comforts herself that sometimes, no news is the best news.
At least it proves that he is still alive.
......
It was a clear and crisp autumn morning. Chu Yuan had just finished breakfast and was translating materials in his room as usual.
Not long after, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Xia Yu should have gone out to buy groceries at this time. Chu Yuan put down the pen in his hand and ran to the yard to open the door.
"Ms. Chu, long time no see."
"Assistant Wang?"
It has been a long time, so long that Wang Yang's face has wrinkles and he has gained some weight, but none of this matters.
The important thing is that he came.
Chu Yuan's gaze passed over Wang Yang and looked into the jeep behind him. The meaning of his eyes was self-evident.
Wang Yang turned his body slightly and said, "Ms. Chu, Mr. Wen is waiting for you in the car."
Chu Yuan walked quickly forward and opened the car door with trembling hands.
"Wen Ke, you're back."
Wen Ke still looked calm and composed, but Chu Yuan clearly saw an emotion of relief in his eyes.
"Yes, I'm back and I won't leave anymore, so Chu Yuan, do you want to be my translator?"
Time seemed to go back to 11 years ago, but this time Chu Yuan did not hesitate: "Of course, but Mr. Wen, shouldn't you give me a raise?"
Wen Ke readily agreed: "With Miss Chu's current fame, it's already a great advantage for me to be able to invite you, so I naturally can't be too stingy with the salary."
This was a joke, and Chu Yuan and Wen Ke both knew it.
The first time Chu Yuan saw Wen Ke, he knew that he didn’t have much time left.
The two had just exchanged a few words when Wang Yang began to remind them, "Mr. Wen, we should go back."
Chu Yuan followed them to the hospital. Perhaps because Wen Ke now had more say than before, no one stopped Chu Yuan along the way, so she just followed them into the ward.
After Wen Ke came back, several doctors and nurses immediately came up and started connecting various instruments to him.
He seemed to have gotten used to it. Well, he must have been living like this all these years.
Not long after lying in bed, Wen Ke's consciousness gradually began to blur and his eyes slowly closed.
Chu Yuan turned to look at Assistant Wang beside him: "How long will he... remain unconscious?"
Assistant Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know. In fact, Mr. Wen had already returned to East City the day before yesterday. It's just that the time he went to see you just now was the only time he was awake in the past two days."
Has it come to this?
Chu Yuan had been standing by Wen Ke's window, quietly looking at his pale face: "Wen Ke, you're back too late."
At this point, the spiritual spring water is of no use to him. Unless it is some magical medicine that can bring the dead back to life, no other means can save him.
All Chu Yuan can do is to accompany him through this last period of time.
......
These days, Wen Ke's time of wakefulness became shorter and shorter, and later he would only be awake for a few minutes before falling into a coma again.
After seeing this situation, everyone realized that day was coming soon.
Chu Yuan stayed in the ward without leaving, afraid of missing every minute and every second of his waking up.
That day, she was sitting on the sofa next to her with her eyes closed, when she suddenly heard Wen Ke's voice.
"Chu Yuan."
She walked quickly to the window and said, "Wen Ke, are you awake?"
"Chu Yuan, I want to go out and bask in the sun. Can you come with me?"
Chu Yuan bit the tip of her tongue tightly to prevent her tears from flowing out: "Okay, I'll ask the nurse to push the wheelchair over, you wait for me to come back."
Chu Yuan seemed to run at the fastest speed of her life to walk the distance from the bed to the door, because she was afraid that if she came back a second later, she would see Wen Ke with his eyes closed.
Fortunately, Wen Ke was in good condition today. When Chu Yuan brought people back, he was still lying in bed.
Chu Yuan pushed him to the small garden downstairs. They talked a lot, and it was basically Wen Ke asking questions and Chu Yuan answering.
"How have you been these past few years?"
"I'm doing well. I make a lot of money as a translator. I've made plans. When my two children go to college, I'll use the money to travel around the world."
"That's good. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to live well here alone. I'm sorry that I made that decision."
"You don't have to apologize. National interests are above all else. I know that."
......
1981/ 10/ 21
Wen Ke basked in the sun for the last time in his life.
He knew he was dying, but he was very happy because he spent the last moments of his life with the people he wanted to see: "If there is an afterlife, I hope we can all be born in a peaceful era."
In the garden of East City Hospital, Wen Ke closed his eyes forever.
Before his death, he left a will, stating that the villa in East City and 50% of his other property would all belong to Chu Yuan, and the remaining 50% would be donated to the country free of charge.
Chu Yuan held a passbook that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and burst into tears.
......
1986/ 8/ 10
The postman's voice came from an alley in East City: "Liu Xiangbai, your admission letter has arrived."
Yes, Xiang Bai was also admitted to university, the Beijing University of Foreign Languages. His choice of this school was influenced by Chu Yuan. Xiang Bai was determined to become an outstanding diplomat and contribute to the development of the motherland.
Xiang Song went to Beijing three years ago. He is studying at a science and technology university. His dream is to inherit the legacy of his father and uncle and become a capable worker like them.
Chu Yuan used the royalties he had saved over the years to buy a house for each of his two children near the school as a foundation for them to settle down in Beijing.
She has never touched the money left by Wen Ke. For Chu Yuan, the money represents far more significance than its own value.
She took out all the money from the bank, put it in the space, and kept it forever.
Chu Yuan spent his whole life in this world like this, watching his two children go to school, graduate, find jobs, get married, and have children.
Until the moment when the system prompted that the original owner's wish had been fulfilled, Chu Yuan chose to leave the small world.
