In the afternoon, the sun pours unreservedly into the spacious office space, making it warm and a little lazy.

Pei Luonan sat at his desk, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, and took a sip. The mellow flavor spread among his taste buds, relaxing his tense nerves a little.

His eyes were focused on the documents in front of him, and his slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, making crisp sounds.

Suddenly, the phone screen lit up, and a push message broke the tranquility like a stone thrown into a calm lake: "Shocking! Jiang Chengjun, the president of Jiang Group, has his cheating scandal exposed!" Pei Luonan's hand shook violently, and the coffee cup almost slipped. The scalding coffee splashed on the back of his hand, but he was completely unaware.

His eyes widened instantly and he stared at the phone screen, as if he wanted to see through the words. The anger in his eyes was instantly ignited and burned fiercely.

"This bastard, how dare he hurt Fanxing like this!" Pei Luonan roared in his heart, his breathing became rapid, his chest heaving violently, and every exhalation was filled with uncontrollable anger.

His hands were shaking uncontrollably as he clenched the phone tightly. His knuckles turned white from the force and veins bulged on the back of his hands as if they would break through the skin in the next second.

"Jiang Chengjun, you will pay for what you have done!" He cursed with gritted teeth, the sound squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a biting chill, echoing in the quiet office.

The image of Gu Fanxing kept appearing in Pei Luonan's mind.

When she smiled, the arc of her lips was like the warmest sunshine in spring, which could dispel all the haze in his heart; when she concentrated on doing things, her slightly furrowed brows made him want to reach out and smooth them.

"Fanxing is such a good person and treats her relationship wholeheartedly, why does she have to suffer all this?" Thinking of how heartbroken Gu Fanxing would be when she discovered the betrayal, Pei Luonan's heart felt like it was being grabbed by an invisible big hand and it hurt so much.

In his heart, Gu Fanxing was so pure and beautiful, the person he had chosen since he was young, and the softest existence in his heart. How could he not be furious when the person he cherished was hurt so ruthlessly?

After the anger, a feeling of relief came over me.

"Finally, finally there is a chance to help Fanxing get rid of this painful relationship." He closed his eyes and his thoughts drifted back to that dark afternoon more than ten years ago.

That day, the young boy was beaten and kicked by gangsters, helpless and desperate, when Gu Fanxing came down from the sky with her dog, forced the gangsters to retreat, and saved him. At that time, she was like a ray of light, shining directly into Pei Luonan's heart, and took root from then on.

Since then, Pei Luonan always paid attention to Gu Fanxing unconsciously. However, due to his shyness and ignorance, he never had the courage to express his love for her.

Later, Gu Fanxing and Jiang Chengjun got together, and Pei Luonan could only bury this feeling deep in his heart.

He watched Gu Fanxing and Jiang Chengjun together, his heart was full of bitterness and helplessness, but as long as she was happy, he chose to silently bless her. Over the years, he has never forgotten her.

Gu Fanxing was completely unaware of all this.

Until the day when she was killed by Jiang Chengjun and Fang Wenwen and reborn, Gu Fanxing wanted to cooperate with Pei Luonan with hatred: to pledge herself to him.

"Pei Luonan, I want revenge and need your help. Your family wants you to find a girlfriend and get married. I can be your girlfriend and we can cooperate. How about that?"

Pei Luonan looked at her, surprised and delighted, and finally agreed to her.

"It's great that Pei Luonan is willing to help me. At least in this dark moment, there is still a glimmer of warmth." Gu Fanxing thought to himself.

So they began their secret operation.

Pei Luonan used his connections in various circles to collect evidence everywhere.

He sent out his most capable assistants to deal with different people and not miss any possible clues.

Every time he found a piece of evidence, he felt like he was one step closer to Gu Fanxing.

Gu Fanxing did not expose Jiang Chengjun, but secretly kept an eye on his whereabouts.

She suppressed the pain in her heart and maintained a calm appearance in front of Jiang Chengjun. Every time she faced him, it was like tearing open the wound that had just healed in her heart. "Just bear with it a little longer, it will be over soon." Gu Fanxing kept encouraging herself in her heart.

Finally, with their joint efforts, the scandal was successfully exposed.

Gu Fanxing looked at the overwhelming news reports with mixed feelings, a sense of relief mixed with deep fatigue and pain.

"This terrible relationship is over, but my heart is dead too." She told herself and decided to seal her heart and lock away her love.

She no longer had any hope for love. All her beautiful fantasies about love were shattered the moment Jiang Chengjun betrayed her.

She told herself that for the rest of her life, she would never trust anyone easily and would never give her true heart to anyone again.

Pei Luonan looked at the news on his phone, feeling mixed emotions.

He knew that their efforts were not in vain and Gu Fanxing could finally get rid of this painful relationship.

But when he saw Gu Fanxing's increasingly cold and distant appearance, he understood that his path to pursue her was destined to be full of difficulties and obstacles.

"No matter how difficult it is, I will not give up. I want to make Fanxing happy again."

He took a deep breath, his tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and his mind began to imagine the future with Gu Fanxing. He looked forward to exploring this vast world with Gu Fanxing in the days to come.

They can hold hands in the morning light, stroll in the afterglow of the sunset, climb Mount Fuji together, overlook the sea of clouds from the top of the mountain, feel the magnificence of nature, and take their grandchildren to play in the park.

Back to daily life, he hopes to prepare a nutritious breakfast for Gu Fanxing every morning, with fresh bread, perfectly fried eggs and a cup of steaming milk.

Watch her finish her meal with satisfaction, and then go out together to start an energetic day.

After a busy day at work, they would snuggle together on the soft sofa, open a bottle of red wine, review the fun events of the day, and share their achievements and troubles at work.

On their free weekends, they would show off their skills in the kitchen together and try out various new recipes. The figure of Gu Fanxing wearing an apron and busy in front of the stove must be the most heartwarming picture; or they would set up a drawing board on the balcony and paint together, using colors to depict the world in their eyes.

He even began to think that one day in the future, he would hold an extremely romantic wedding for Gu Fanxing in a sunny garden.

They were surrounded by white roses and baby's breath, and blessings from relatives and friends rang out one after another.

He would hold Gu Fanxing's hand tightly, look at the tears flashing in her eyes, and solemnly make a lifelong promise to make her the happiest bride in the world.

Although Pei Luonan knew that it was not easy to truly enter Gu Fanxing's heart.

She had just experienced a severe emotional blow, and her heart might be filled with defenses and scars.

But he would not give up. He had let go once because of his cowardice, which caused Gu Fanxing to suffer the pain she is experiencing now. This would become an eternal regret and self-blame in his heart.

This time, even if the road ahead is full of thorns and every step may leave him bruised and battered, he will move forward bravely and never give up.

He wants to be Gu Fanxing's safe haven and the light in her life. He wants to use time and sincerity to slowly heal her pain and make her believe in love, happiness and herself again.

He stood up, walked to the window, overlooking the bustling city streets outside the window, and secretly swore in his heart: From now on, he will use all his strength to protect Fanxing and make her life in the future filled with only laughter and no more tears.

He knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as he could walk it with Gu Fanxing, it would all be worth it.
