Lin Xiaoxiao stood in front of the French window, looking at the hustle and bustle of the city, but her heart was peaceful. The hustle and bustle of the city seemed to have nothing to do with her. Her world was only work and the loneliness of that room.

"Xiaoxiao, don't you really want to consider taking a break?" colleague Xiao Li asked with concern.

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around, smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I can still hold on."

Behind her smile is a tired heart. Over the years, she has put all her energy into work and forgot to leave some space for her feelings.

Until that man appeared.

Jiang Chen, a name that made her heart beat faster. He was the CEO of a technology company, a man who dominated the business world. Their meeting was like a well-choreographed play, full of drama.

"Ms. Lin, your plan is very creative, but I need more data support." Jiang Chen's voice was low and powerful, and his eyes were sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Lin Xiaoxiao met his gaze and did not flinch, "Mr. Jiang, I believe our data analysis is accurate."

This was their first confrontation and the beginning of their story.

In the next few days, Lin Xiaoxiao and Jiang Chen worked together more and more frequently. They were like two gears, slowly fitting together and turning more and more smoothly.

However, just as their relationship was heating up, an unexpected person showed up.

"Jiang Chen, long time no see." A fashionably dressed woman appeared at the door of Jiang Chen's office, with a hint of provocation in her eyes.

Lin Xiaoxiao's heart sank instantly. She knew that this person was Jiang Chen's ex-girlfriend, and also a scar in his heart.

The story has just begun, and the love journey of Lin Xiaoxiao and Jiang Chen is destined to be bumpy.

Lin Xiaoxiao stood at the door of the office, watching the interaction between Jiang Chen and the woman, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that she had no right to interfere with Jiang Chen's past, but her heart ached uncontrollably.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Li noticed Lin Xiaoxiao's abnormality.

"It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night." Lin Xiaoxiao forced a smile and turned back to her seat.

In the next few days, Lin Xiaoxiao tried to avoid contact with Jiang Chen as much as possible, fearing that she would involuntarily pay attention to his interactions with his ex-girlfriend. But work always inevitably brought them back together.

"Ms. Lin, we need to re-discuss the promotion strategy for this project." Jiang Chen's voice sounded on the phone, still so calm.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang." Lin Xiaoxiao tried her best to make her voice sound calm.

In the conference room, the two sat face to face, discussing every detail of the project. Lin Xiaoxiao tried hard to focus on her work, but Jiang Chen's eyes always distracted her.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you recently? You are always absent-minded." Jiang Chen suddenly asked after the meeting.

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "Nothing, maybe it's because of the work pressure."

Jiang Chen looked at her deeply, said nothing more, turned around and left the meeting room.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at his back, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart. She knew she couldn't go on like this, and she needed an answer.

In the evening, Lin Xiaoxiao plucked up the courage and sent Jiang Chen a message: "Can we talk?"

Jiang Chen quickly replied: "Of course, see you tomorrow night at the old place."

The next night, Lin Xiaoxiao came early to the cafe where they first met. She sat by the window, looking at the night view outside, her heart full of anticipation and anxiety.

Jiang Chen arrived on time. He sat opposite Lin Xiaoxiao with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Xiaoxiao, I know what you want to ask." Jiang Chen spoke first, "She and I are over it. You are the only one in my heart now."

Lin Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so direct.

"But I need time to deal with some things." Jiang Chen's voice became lowered, "I don't want you to get involved."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Chen. She knew what he said was true. She nodded, "I understand. I will wait for you."

However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. Just when Lin Xiaoxiao and Jiang Chen's relationship is becoming clearer, her childhood sweetheart, Zhou Yang, suddenly returns to China.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm back." Zhou Yang's voice was full of joy.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the familiar face in front of her, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. Zhou Yang was her childhood playmate, and they had countless good memories.

"Zhou Yang, why did you come back suddenly?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

"Because I miss you." Zhou Yang said bluntly.

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didn't expect Zhou Yang to say that. Her heart began to waver. She didn't know how to choose.

In the next few days, Zhou Yang continued to appear in Lin Xiaoxiao's life, and his care and consideration made her feel warm. But every time when it was late at night, she would always think of Jiang Chen.

"Xiaoxiao, I know you have someone else in your heart." Zhou Yang suddenly said after dinner, "but I hope you can give me a chance."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Yang. She knew she couldn't go on like this. She needed to make a choice.

"Zhou Yang, I cherish our friendship very much, but I cannot deceive my own heart." Lin Xiaoxiao said this with difficulty.

Zhou Yang's eyes dimmed, but he still smiled and said, "I understand, Xiaoxiao, I respect your choice."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Yang, her heart full of gratitude. She knew that she needed to find Jiang Chen and tell him her decision.

However, when she found Jiang Chen, she saw a scene that broke her heart.

"Jiang Chen, I know you still love me." Jiang Chen's ex-girlfriend hugged him tightly.

Lin Xiaoxiao's tears instantly flowed down and she turned and left.

Jiang Chen, do you really still love me?

Lin Xiaoxiao's tears drifted in the wind. She didn't know how she left, but she felt as if her heart had been hollowed out. She walked aimlessly until night fell and the lights came on.

"Xiaoxiao!" Jiang Chen's voice sounded behind him, filled with urgency and anxiety.

Lin Xiaoxiao stopped but did not look back. She was afraid that if she looked back, she would collapse.

Jiang Chen walked quickly to her and held her shoulders tightly, "Listen to my explanation."

Lin Xiaoxiao raised her head, tears in her eyes, "What do you want to explain? Explain your relationship with her, or explain your deception of me?"

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with pain, "Xiaoxiao, you misunderstood. She came to me only because of work. I... I just want to deal with everything and give you a clean self."

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She shook her head and said, "Jiang Chen, I'm tired. I don't want to go on like this."

Jiang Chen's heart was broken. He knew he couldn't let Lin Xiaoxiao get hurt again. "Xiaoxiao, give me some time. I will prove to you that my heart only belongs to you."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked into Jiang Chen's eyes, which were full of sincerity and determination. She took a deep breath and nodded.

In the next few days, Jiang Chen proved his promise with practical actions. He completely drew a line between himself and his ex-girlfriend and put all his energy on Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, this is the breakfast I prepared for you." Jiang Chen would appear at Lin Xiaoxiao's door on time every day.

"Xiaoxiao, this is the gift I picked for you." Jiang Chen could always accurately grasp Lin Xiaoxiao's preferences.

Lin Xiaoxiao's heart was gradually moved by Jiang Chen's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and she began to believe that Jiang Chen really loved her.

However, just as their relationship was heating up, a bigger challenge arose.

"Xiaoxiao, I've decided to return to China for development." Zhou Yang said on the phone, "I wonder if we can start over?"

Lin Xiaoxiao's heart was once again in turmoil. Zhou Yang's return meant that she had to face her emotional choices again.

"Zhou Yang, I am very grateful for your concern for me, but I...I already have someone I like." Lin Xiaoxiao said this with difficulty.

Zhou Yang was silent for a while, then said: "Xiaoxiao, I understand. I won't give up, I will wait for you."

Lin Xiaoxiao hung up the phone with mixed feelings. She knew she needed to have a good talk with Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, Zhou Yang is back." Lin Xiaoxiao said during a date.

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with nervousness, "Xiaoxiao, do you... do you still love him?"

Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Jiang Chen, I love you. But Zhou Yang treats me very well, and I don't want to hurt him."

Jiang Chen held Lin Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, "Xiaoxiao, I understand. Let's face it together, okay?"

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded. She knew that as long as Jiang Chen was by her side, she was not afraid of anything.

The two faced Zhou Yang's challenge together, and in the end, Zhou Yang chose to bless them.

"Xiaoxiao, Jiang Chen, I wish you happiness." Zhou Yang said at a party.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Jiang Chen smiled at each other. They knew that their love had gone through ups and downs and finally welcomed the rainbow.

After the wedding, Lin Xiaoxiao and Jiang Chen began their married life. Their days were full of sweetness and warmth, but life is always full of surprises.

One day, Lin Xiaoxiao worked overtime at the company until very late. When she walked out of the company building, it was already completely dark. She felt a little tired, but when she thought of Jiang Chen waiting for her at home, her heart was filled with warmth.

"Xiaoxiao." A familiar voice sounded behind me.

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and was surprised to find that it was Zhou Yang. He looked a little haggard, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

"Zhou Yang, why are you here?" Lin Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.

"I... I just wanted to come and see you." Zhou Yang's voice was a little hoarse, "I know I shouldn't disturb you, but I... I just wanted to make sure you were doing well."

Lin Xiaoxiao's heart was a little complicated. She knew Zhou Yang's feelings for her, but she only had Jiang Chen in her heart.

"Zhou Yang, I'm fine. Jiang Chen treats me very well." Lin Xiaoxiao said gently, "You should also go find your own happiness."

Zhou Yang smiled bitterly, "Xiaoxiao, I know. I just... I just can't let it go."

Lin Xiaoxiao was silent, she didn't know what to say. She knew Zhou Yang needed time to heal.

"Xiaoxiao, I wish you and Jiang Chen all the best." Zhou Yang took a deep breath, then turned and left.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Yang's back, feeling a little emotional. She knew that some people and some things would eventually become the past.

When she got home, Jiang Chen had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her.

"Why did you come back so late?" Jiang Chen was a little worried.

"Something happened at the company." Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "By the way, I met Zhou Yang today."

Jiang Chen's brows slightly frowned, but soon relaxed again, "How is he?"

"He...he's fine." Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "He said he wished us well."

Jiang Chen held Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, "Xiaoxiao, thank you for choosing me."

Lin Xiaoxiao leaned on Jiang Chen's shoulder and said, "Jiang Chen, thank you too. Thank you for always being by my side."

The two smiled at each other. They knew that their love had experienced ups and downs, but as long as they were together, there was nothing they couldn't overcome.
