Wealthy Beauty in the 60s

Chapter 736: Finale + Extra

Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Finale + Extra In the end, it was all about getting older. As the years passed, Xia Xiao, despite her best efforts to stay fit, no longer had the vigor and interest of younger people.

Now, Xia Xiao’s only hobbies were walking and mountain climbing.

Watching Gao Jiaxing finish his Shadowboxing in the yard, Xia Xiao washed up and then joined Gao Jiaxing for breakfast, getting ready to take a stroll in the park.

But then she saw Gao Jiaxing rolling out a bicycle from the garage.

"What are you up to?" Xia Xiao looked at the bicycle speechlessly; it had been a long time since she last rode.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you out," Gao Jiaxing said, suddenly inspired to ride the bike.

Xia Xiao shook her head, "You better not; can you even manage it?"

Gao Jiaxing took offense, "How can I not manage with just your weight? Are you implying I’m too old? Come on, let’s take a spin."

The housekeeper, watching the elderly couple, voiced her concerns, "That bicycle hasn’t been used for a long time. It hasn’t been oiled; it might not ride well."

Gao Jiaxing tried it out, cycling around the yard, and felt it was quite alright.

Helpless, Xia Xiao joked, "Old man, you really won’t admit to aging, will you? Fine, I’ll just risk it with you."

Although she said this, Xia Xiao still got onto the rear seat of the bicycle.

It had been a long time since she last rode a bicycle, and although there was a cushion, it felt subtly different.

"Sit tight, hold on to me, we’re off," Gao Jiaxing was really in the mood today to ride out.

Xia Xiao hugged Gao Jiaxing’s waist, advising, "Go slowly, and watch the road." At their age, a fall would be no joke.

"Xiaoxiao, you’re getting more and more naggy. Would I let you fall? If I wasn’t confident, I wouldn’t ride," Gao Jiaxing felt underestimated by Xia Xiao, a refusal to acknowledge his age, albeit not as fit as his youth, he was still quite hearty.

"Alright, just ride slowly and watch the road," Xia Xiao couldn’t help but worry, but seeing Gao Jiaxing riding steadily, she gradually relaxed and began to enjoy the scenery by the roadside. Though she saw it every day, being carried by Gao Jiaxing on the bicycle gave her a different feeling altogether.

It was a rather pleasant feeling.

Life passed leisurely day by day. As Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao grew older each year, their love deepened and matured like fine wine.

After Shitou got married, Beibei too got engaged. The following year saw the wedding of Beibei and Si Hexuan.

In the ten years that followed, Huanhuan and Lele, Jianjian and Kangkang, Yangyang and Liangliang, and Xinxin also got married one after another, only Xiao Shu remained unsettled in marital matters.

Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Shu and Jing Chengyuan who surprised everyone.

Just when Xia Xiao thought this grandson would remain single, Xiao Shu brought Jing Chengyuan home.

Jing Chengyuan was five years younger than Xiao Shu. Since graduating from her master’s degree, she had often been taken by Wen Shufei to social gatherings, eagerly hoping her daughter would find a worthy partner.

Wen Shufei’s standards were particularly high, not only matching in social status, but the son-in-law also had to be appealing to the eye, and she hoped her daughter wouldn’t marry too far away.

As a result, suitable matches for Jing Chengyuan were few and far between.

And with arranged meetings, it naturally required mutual appeal, leading to Jing Chengyuan being pressured into countless matchmaking sessions until she couldn’t stand it anymore and packed up to flee the country.

When Wen Shufei learned her daughter wanted to travel the world, she was infuriated.

Jing Yao thought Wen Shufei was just making trouble out of boredom; his daughter had both the family background and intelligence, and was also very attractive—no need to worry about finding a partner.

Yet, it was Wen Shufei’s daily pressure for matchmaking that drove her daughter to flee from home.

And Jing Chengyuan’s leaving home to travel the world was not just talk; she decided to make the most of her youth and see the world, savoring its cuisines.

Thus, Xia Xiao’s unfulfilled wishes were lived out by Jing Chengyuan.

Jing Chengyuan became a travel and food blogger, gradually gaining fame.

And the world, big yet small, led Jing Chengyuan to meet Xiao Shu abroad.

They knew of each other initially, but only after meeting did they develop feelings.

Considering the Gao family’s background was impeccable, and Xiao Shu being a diplomat, marrying Xiao Shu meant she wouldn’t stay in the country.

Wen Shufei was outraged; she had never wanted her daughter to marry far, but had to admit, the grandson from the Gao family was indeed outstanding.

Over the years, the Gao family’s status wasn’t what it once was; it had grown stronger and climbed higher.
