Chapter 43: One Hundred Percent If you want to. Divorce is also an option. Xie Qi’s tone was flat and devoid of emotion. He didn't ask for Zhao Shuyi’s wishes at all, simply informing him unilaterally: "You decide. Either way is fine." He was like a fish waiting to die on a cutting board, indifferent to whether Zhao Shuyi’s knife fell or not. Zhao Shuyi remained silent, and the air pressure in the car suddenly dropped another notch. He didn't want to get angry, nor did he think he should be…-

There were two hours left until December 18th, a day that only came once a year, ended. The hotel garden was brightly lit, and dozens of guests anxiously awaited the arrival of the evening's protagonist, ready to accompany him past midnight and welcome the first day of the new year. Xie Qi arrived late. He had cried for over ten minutes before finally standing up from the wardrobe and going to the bathroom to wash his face. He washed away the traces of tears, changed into new clothes suitable for the…

Chapter 41 Delusional Hope Zhao Shuyi remembered every anecdote Xie Qi shared, but if memories were a movie, their scripts seemed different. "I did pursue you," Xie Qi surprisingly said. "I brought you coats, snacks, cold medicine, helped you write notes, accompanied you to competitions out of town... Do none of those count?" Zhao Shuyi felt speechless. "If you didn't say it directly, was I supposed to read your mind?" If he had to be honest, he wasn't completely oblivious to Xie Qi's overtures. But…

Chapter 40 A Thousand Times Over Zhao Shuyi suspected his ears were malfunctioning, but clearly, the problem lay with Xie Qi, not him. Like a machine with a program error, Xie Qi froze the moment he finished speaking. Just then, the music reached a crescendo, the piano striking a dramatic, heart-stopping chord. Xie Qi’s eyes flashed with panic as he belatedly realized he had lost control and revealed something. He spun around abruptly and fled the scene. Zhao Shuyi was still in shock, unable to…

Chapter 4 The Second Kiss Zhao Shuyi certainly didn't ask Xie Qi to meet just to argue. He had prepared a set of peace talks, intending to repair his terrible relationship with Xie Qi—whether Xie Qi accepted it or not was irrelevant; his main goal was to guide himself: prioritize the big picture, stop resisting the Zhao Family, and accept this Marriage Arrangement. The plan was solid. Before Xie Qi arrived, Zhao Shuyi felt that as long as he showed sincerity and controlled his personal emotions, he…

Chapter 39 Agony Xie Qi’s birthday banquet began at six in the afternoon. Zhao Shuyi arrived punctually, just as he had promised the host. Several hours had passed, and his mood had calmed down significantly. However, he was naturally averse to crowds, and he frowned instinctively the moment he stepped into the ballroom. It wasn't dark yet, but all the lights in the venue were already blazing. The gigantic crystal chandelier hanging in the hall resembled a brilliant galaxy, its light reflecting off…

Anyone with a modicum of emotional intelligence wouldn't bring up an ex in front of someone's current partner. Li Yin managed to stand out from Xie Jianhe's large roster of lovers and become the legitimate Mrs. Xie, so naturally, she wasn't lacking in emotional intelligence. She was saying this deliberately for Zhao Shuyi to hear. Zhao Shuyi knew this, but since she had already started talking, leaving immediately would make him seem too concerned. He smiled gracefully. "I don't know. When did this…

Chapter 37 Secret Crush Xie Qi is one year younger than Zhao Shuyi and is turning twenty-six this year. Logically, he is not young; he is approaching thirty. But while Zhao Shuyi strives for a mature and steady image, Xie Qi dresses as flamboyantly as possible and never takes anything seriously when he is not working. Even his excited anticipation for birthday gifts makes him seem like a child. Although he was looking forward to it, Xie Qi didn't explicitly say what he wanted, only replying, "I want a…

Chapter 36: Desire for Control The last day of November marked a temporary lull in Zhao Shuyi’s busy schedule. Since returning from Shencheng, he had not mentioned anything that happened there to anyone, except for meeting Zhao Huaicheng on the afternoon of the twenty-fifth. He was waiting for Bai Fangchun’s reply. No reply yet was not bad news; it meant Bai Fangchun was genuinely considering it and hadn't informed Zhao Huaicheng. However, Zhao Shuyi’s true purpose in going to Shencheng was not…

Chapter 35: Belonging to Him Interacting with people is a process of adjustment. This adjustment, in essence, means finding the "concave" and "convex" parts of the other person and fitting yourself into them. Zhao Shuyi discovered he could control Xie Qi, and he couldn't help but exert more control, enjoying the thrill of receiving feedback with every action. Similarly, Xie Qi realized that bowing his head and yielding was the most effective method, and he couldn't help but use this most effective…
