Chapter 52: To My Dearest January 19th. The long cold snap finally ended, and Fengjing City warmed up. Rest time was limited. As soon as the workday began, Zhao Shuyi was busy again. He had formally filed a lawsuit against Zhao Huaicheng, submitting evidence to the procuratorate and the court. With ironclad evidence, Zhao Huaicheng's conviction was only a matter of time. Although the litigation process was taxing, Zhao Shuyi did not have to handle every detail personally since the suit was filed in the…-

“I’ll listen to you.” It was rare for Zhao Shuyi to say this. They left the hospital and finished breakfast. The snow had stopped, leaving the streets dirty and wet from the melting agent. The sun was hidden by thick clouds, and the wind remained cold. It was a rest day, so the roads were somewhat congested. As Xie Qi drove, he repeatedly savored the words Zhao Shuyi had inadvertently spoken. After arriving home and showering, they prepared to catch up on sleep. The moment they lay down, he was…

Chapter 50 Destiny Xie Qi refilled the water and gave Zhao Shuyi the cold medicine. "Why are you still crying? Let me tell you a joke." Xie Qi opened the food container, unwrapped the utensils, and handed them to him. "After I bought your meal, I rushed out to find a pharmacy to buy medicine. Only after I came back did I realize we are in a hospital, where they have medicine right here. I’m so stupid." "..." Zhao Shuyi didn't give him face; he didn't laugh. They were currently in the lounge. This…

Before Zhao Shuyi and Xie Qi could come to blows, Secretary Ye appeared just in time to interrupt them. The two men on the sofa had disheveled clothes, creating a rather ambiguous scene, but the expressions on their faces were far from pleasant. Ye Zhao didn't know what had happened and didn't dare to ask. He only saw Zhao Shuyi, like an irritated large cat, bypass Xie Qi and head upstairs, coldly dropping the command: "See him out!" "No need to see me out." Xie Qi adjusted his cuffs, turned, and…

Chapter 49 I Love You It was as if water-soaked cotton wool was plugging his mind, pressing lightly but persistently on his nerves, blurring his senses and dulling his thoughts. Zhao Shuyi heard every word Xie Qi said, but he didn't grasp it; his emotions hadn't caught up. "What did you say?" "Don't worry, she's already been sent to the hospital." Xie Qi was afraid of adding insult to his fragile mental state, so he offered comfort first. "It was the nanny's call. After we left, your mother and your…

Chapter 48 The Bitter Fruit Ten days later, January 13th, Saturday. The weather in Fengjing City had been terrible recently. Gale-force winds howled, and heavy snow mixed with mud and sand, dirtying the entire city. The atmosphere at Chaoyang Group headquarters was even worse than the weather. Whether they were management or ordinary employees, entering the company each day felt like stepping into a forbidden zone—solemn, heavy, with a storm brewing in the silence. The intense low pressure was like…

Chapter 47 Confession From boarding the plane in the morning until now, half a day had passed, and the group of four had eaten nothing but coffee. Zhao Shuyi treated them to a meal at a highly-rated local private kitchen. In a secluded private room, they discussed work while eating. Although he had long suspected that Bai Fangchun might have dirt on Zhao Huaicheng, Zhao Shuyi hadn't expected there to be so much, and so damningly conclusive. "Embezzlement, money laundering, bribery." Everyone present…

Chapter 46: Seeing It Through Aside from Zhao Shuyi, probably no one had ever seen Xie Qi in a humble, pleading state. Zhao Shuyi wondered more than once, what did Xie Qi like about him? Even without prior dating experience, Zhao Shuyi knew that a healthy relationship should make both people comfortable, not cautious, mutually tormenting. He felt that Xie Qi would be a good partner for anyone he dated. A person willing to give, willing to sacrifice dignity for love, deserved to be cherished. But Xie…

Chapter 45 Side Effect Zhao Shuyi did not answer. The hallucination faded but remained. He smelled the scent of incense, and the four white walls that imprisoned him flickered in and out of existence. Xie Qi’s face was blurry, requiring great effort to see clearly. “Xie Qi,” Zhao Shuyi repeated the same phrase as if his speech system had malfunctioned, “Has the takeout arrived?” “...Almost,” Xie Qi glanced at the delivery rider’s distance, only a few dozen meters away. He temporarily…

As expected, he received no answer. But Zhao Shuyi didn't deny it either. He leaned against the sink, his shoulders hunched in an arc, his head bowed. He seemed to have exhausted all his strength from dry heaving and didn't want to move. Xie Qi suspected he hadn't heard what he asked, but he didn't have the courage to ask a second time. About five minutes passed, and neither of them moved. The bathroom was deathly silent. Xie Qi couldn't even hear Zhao Shuyi's breathing, yet he was still…
