On an early summer night, the breeze blows and the moonlight shines on the windowsill. Chen Meijuan lay on the soft big bed, looking at the ceiling. Today is the wedding night of her and Li Zimin, but at this moment, her heart is full of anxiety and loss.
52-year-old Chen Meijuan is an independent and self-reliant woman who has achieved good results in her career. However, she has always longed for a warm family in her heart. A few years ago, she met 30-year-old Li Zimin by chance, and the two fell in love at first sight and soon came together. Although relatives and friends around her were worried about this marriage with a huge age disparity, Chen Meijuan still married Li Zimin without hesitation.
Chen Meijuan sighed softly, carefully sat up from the bed, and walked to the balcony to blow the cool evening breeze. She recalls the hardships of her pursuit of the marriage. Before meeting Li Zimin, she had experienced many emotional failures, and she always took the initiative to pursue it, but was abandoned by the other party in the end. It wasn't until she met Li Zimin that she really felt the happiness of being loved.
Li Zimin was a little overwhelmed, reached out and patted her back gently, how could it be Of course I love you, otherwise I wouldn't have married you.
Li Zimin sighed and hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to explain Meijuan, I know that you have always longed to have a warm family. I also really love you and want to give you a happy life. However, our age gap is so great that I'm not sure if I can really meet your needs. I'm afraid I'm going to hurt you.
Chen Meijuan blinked, and looked at her husband in some surprise Are you worried about hurting me Aren t we already married I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you, no matter what others think. I know, Meijuan. However, you are still young and have too many opportunities to pursue your own happiness. You deserve a younger, more energetic husband, not a half-sized me. Li Zimin gently held Chen Meijuan's hand, her eyes full of apology.
Chen Meijuan shook her head and stubbornly said no, Zimin. All I want is you. It doesn't matter how old you are, it's your love for me that matters. The gap between us can all be overcome, as long as there is love.
Li Zimin was silent for a moment, and reached out to gently wipe away the tears on Chen Meijuan's face Sorry, Meijuan. I know I've broken you by my actions. But I really can't ignore the gap between us. I'm not worried that you're going to hurt me, I'm worried that I'm going to hurt you. You deserve a better life.
Chen Meijuan held her husband's hand and said firmly, Zimin, you are the person I want. Together, we embrace the future and face life's challenges together. As long as you are here, I feel extremely happy.
Li Zimin looked at his wife's firm eyes, and his heart also fell. He gently hugged Chen Meijuan and said softly, okay, Meijuan. If you are really willing to go down with me, then I will do my best to love you and make you feel happy.
The two stood in each other's arms, quietly gazing at the stars in the sky. Chen Meijuan felt a long-lost peace and satisfaction in her heart, she knew that as long as Li Zimin was there, she would be able to tide over any difficulties.
With a subtle look on her face, Chen Mei looked at Li Zimin, then at Chen Meijuan, and slowly said Sister, I am just worried about you. I've always been a little worried about your age difference. I just want to make sure you can be happy.
Chen Meijuan held her husband's hand and said with a smile Thank you for your concern, sister. I know you're for my good. However, now I am very happy. With Zimin by my side, I feel safer and more content than ever.
Chen Mei looked at her sister and sister-in-law snuggling up to each other, and her heart couldn't help but soften, yes, then I am relieved. As long as you can be happy.
Chen Meijuan nodded, stepped forward and gave her sister a hug Thank you, sister. I will cherish this happiness.
At this moment, a burst of snickering suddenly came from behind the window. Chen Meijuan and Li Zimin followed the prestige, only to see a few neighbors whispering, obviously talking about their marriage.
When the neighbors saw this, they retreated in mockery. Chen Meijuan sighed and looked back at her husband Zimin, should we move I really can't stand the discussion here.
The two looked at each other and smiled, hugged and kissed each other in the moonlight. Although the doubts and prejudices of the outside world have not disappeared, as long as they have each other's support and understanding, they can face any challenges together and continue to write their own happy stories.
After moving, Chen Meijuan and Li Zimin lived a relatively peaceful life in their new community. There was less talk among the neighbors, and everyone gradually accepted and respected the couple, who had a huge age difference.
Sometimes, Chen Meijuan still can't help but recall the scene when she met her husband. At that time, she was 48 years old and had given up on the idea of having a happy family again. However, a chance encounter led her to meet this young man. The two fell in love at first sight and soon came together.
Chen Meijuan remembers that almost all of her relatives and friends around her were against the marriage. They think that Li Zimin only married Chen Meijuan for her wealth, and it is difficult to maintain a stable relationship with such a large age difference. But Chen Meijuan has never wavered in her determination. She firmly believes that with genuine love, any obstacle can be overcome.
With the increase in time together, Li Zimin gradually adapted to this marriage with a huge age difference. He learned to listen patiently to Chen Meijuan and understand her needs. Although there are occasional small conflicts due to differences in cultural backgrounds and living habits, as long as we respect each other and work together, we can always find a solution.
Chen Meijuan is grateful to Li Zimin for being able to tolerate her age. Sometimes, she even feels that it is precisely because of this age difference that their marriage is more precious and precious. Li Zimin's maturity and stability have brought a sense of security to her life, and her experience and life wisdom have also benefited Li Zimin a lot.
Gradually, the couple became the best in their new community. The barriers between neighbors gradually disappeared, and everyone envied their sweetness and tacit understanding. Sometimes, there are even people who ask them about what they can learn.
Chen Meijuan smiled gently, patting the back of the girl's hand I understand your feelings. At the beginning, Zimin and I were facing a similar dilemma. But as long as you really love each other, everything will slowly get better. Trust your feelings and be brave in your pursuit of happiness.
When the girl heard this, her eyes rekindled hope. She held Chen Meijuan's hand and sincerely said thank you, Auntie. I'm going to be brave enough to face it.
Looking at the back of the girl's departure, Chen Meijuan was full of emotion. She remembered that she had experienced such difficulties and doubts at the beginning, and that she could never forget the pain of being misunderstood and not understood. But, looking back now, it was all worth it.
Because it was this marriage that crossed the age gap that allowed Chen Meijuan to find the greatest happiness in her life. Although it was full of doubts and prejudices at the beginning, as long as there was mutual understanding and support, all difficulties could be overcome.
Chen Meijuan believes that as long as there is sincere love, any age gap is not a problem. It is important to be brave in pursuit and not be bound by the eyes of the world. Only in this way can you embrace your own happiness.
