"He’s a good person, and he’s honest. He says what’s on his mind and doesn’t hide anything, which is great. But, Na, there are two things. First, if you marry him, you’ll be a stepmother right away. His child is five or six, old enough to remember things. We don’t know if his biological mother will show up again, and whether you’ll be able to get along with the child is a big question. The other thing is that Sun Jianhua is completely focused on his business. But with business, you win some and you lose some. He lost everything last time, and it could happen again." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Qin Zhonghui’s words carried a lot of weight.

Su Yun nodded beside him. "But he’s very driven, which is a good thing. And business is just like that. We’re opening our own restaurant next year, and that also comes with both risks and rewards. We just want to take a chance and create a good environment for our two kids’ education."

That was why even steady people like Qin Zhonghui and Su Yun were willing to take the risk of going into business.

But Qin Na needed to know the pros and cons involved.

After all, Qin Zhonghui and Su Yun would be shouldering the risk as husband and wife. Qin Na, on the other hand, wasn’t married to Sun Jianhua yet. Everyone’s different, and some people prefer a more stable life, which was why it was so thoughtful of Sun Jianhua to lay everything out on the table beforehand.

If it were the old Qin Na, she would never have agreed to be with a man like Sun Jianhua.

She used to enjoy a simple, stable, unchanging life—looking after her husband and children, tending to the home, and honoring her elders.

But after spending half a year with her second brother’s family in Ping’an Town and attending night school, some of Qin Na’s views were slowly starting to change.

She felt as if she had been a frog in a well before, her perspective too narrow, seeing only a tiny patch of sky.

Now, she was eager to see the wider world, and Sun Jianhua was actually her best choice.

Qin Na smiled shyly, then said in a low voice, "Actually, what first attracted me to Sun Jianhua was his refusal to give up. He said that even though he comes from a farming family, as long as he works hard, he can definitely build a successful business, make a lot of money, and live a good life. I also asked him what he’d do if his business failed again, and he said he’d just try harder next time."

Qin Zhonghui and Su Yun exchanged a look.

The two of them were completely reassured.

Meanwhile, Qin Jiao, who was leading her sister Xiao Shi upstairs, was halfway up when she heard this, and a smile touched her lips.

’In the last life, Sun Jianhua must have had nothing but his drive. With no one to help, he took so many wrong turns and ended up failing time and again. But in this life, even if he fails, it definitely won’t be as arduous as it was then. And he won’t end up like he did before—eventually becoming a tycoon, but with a child who went astray from being neglected.’

Xiao Shi listened very seriously. The little girl still hadn’t forgotten her goal of becoming rich.

She said in a small voice, "Sis, once I graduate from college, can I start a business then?"

"But during your winter and summer breaks, as long as it doesn’t affect your studies, you can also help Mom and Dad, and your aunt and uncle."

"Okay!" The little girl nodded seriously, then suddenly said with curiosity, "Hey, are we going to have another uncle?"

"Mhm, soon," Qin Jiao said with a smile, stroking her sister’s head.

Back downstairs, Qin Zhonghui and his wife had basically agreed to their sister dating Sun Jianhua. Qin Na hesitated for a moment and said, "I’ll tell Mom and Dad about this during the New Year."

Su Yun said, "You should definitely tell them, but whatever they have to say, just listen. Ultimately, the decision has to be yours."

Qin Na nodded seriously.
