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…

Chapter 34 The Spell of Love It is said that proximity to vermillion makes one red, and proximity to ink makes one black—there is truth to this. Xie Qi, driven by a love-addled brain, chased Zhao Shuyi a thousand miles from Fengjing City to Shencheng just to accompany him on his business trip. Their clinginess was outrageous, and under Xie Qi’s influence, Zhao Shuyi’s work efficiency dropped significantly. That evening, when Ye Zhao knocked on the door for the second time to discuss business, Zhao…

Chapter 33: Desire Zhao Shuyi’s genuine attempt at coaxing someone was akin to an iron tree blooming. He wrapped his arm around Xie Qi’s shoulder and gently rubbed Xie Qi’s reddened wrist with a comforting pressure. “Does it hurt?” Xie Qi’s expression was clearly one of suppressed anger, wanting to curse, but under Zhao Shuyi’s tender gaze, the words caught in his throat. After a long moment, he said, “It doesn’t hurt.” “Then why don’t you… go to the bathroom first?” Zhao…

It takes at least three hours to fly directly from Fengjing City to Shencheng. It was already past nine o'clock. If Xie Qi wanted to rush over immediately, he would have to take a red-eye flight, which would be quite grueling. Zhao Shuyi sent the hotel address and room number to Xie Qi, receiving the reply, "I'll think about it." Then the video call ended, and for a long time afterward, he received no new messages. Around ten o'clock, the phone remained quiet, so Zhao Shuyi took a shower. He had…

Chapter 31 Pajamas They chatted on WeChat the entire way, and Zhao Shuyi didn't stop even after passing security, continuing until the plane took off. Xie Qi’s last message asked him, "How many days are you going for?" Zhao Shuyi replied, "Two or three days, probably." That was the original plan, but the trip ended up taking longer than two or three days. The plane landed at Shencheng Airport. In late November, Fengjing City in the northern interior was already bitterly cold, but the temperature in…

Chapter 30 The Capable Partner Once certain things begin, they quickly spiral out of control. Xie Qi discovered that Zhao Shuyi liked hearing him call him Gege, and he kept calling him that all the way home. In less than an hour's drive, Zhao Shuyi's ears were practically calloused from the repetition. Not only did he call him, but Xie Qi also dug for details: "Why does that title make you so excited?" Zhao Shuyi didn't want to admit it: "It's alright." Xie Qi laughed: "Still pretending? When I was…

Chapter 29 "Gege" "Giving you a chance"—how could someone be so arrogant even when confessing? Zhao Shuyi had no doubt that if Xie Qi had been born into an ordinary family, without the backing of an illustrious background, he would never find a partner in his life. "Hurry up and tell me, do you want to or not?" Xie Qi urged. "If we start over, you don't have to do much, just be like before." "Let me think about it." "Think about what? Didn't you say you were willing to like me? Just that you hadn't…
