Nicholas Tse stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and the hustle and bustle of the city seemed to have lost its color in his eyes.

He hadn't hung up the phone yet, and the voice of the person reporting on the other end, although soft, pierced his ears and his heart like a needle.

"Keep watching and report to me immediately if you have any news." He ordered in a deep voice. After hanging up the phone, he clenched his fists, his eyes deep and complicated.

He Yaoyao's determination was beyond his expectations. He thought that with his charm and the offensive he had been doing for a while, he could at least leave some impression in her heart.

However, reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

Those carefully selected bouquets, each carrying his full heart, were eventually ruthlessly thrown into the trash can, just like his mood at the moment, trampled upon and worthless.

Just then, the secretary knocked on the door and came in with a document in her hand. "General Manager, this is the plan for our upcoming new project. Please take a look."

Xie Tingxuan took the document but had no intention of reading it. His thoughts were still on He Yaoyao, the woman he both loved and hated.

He knew that he couldn't just give up.

Now that he has come to this point, he must continue to work hard. Even if the final result is still failure, he will use up his last bit of strength to love He Yaoyao.

"You go out first." He waved his hand and asked the secretary to leave.

"Yes." After the secretary left, Xie Tingxuan let his tall body sink deeply into the leather chair, a dejected atmosphere enveloping him.

On the other hand, He Yaoyao was busy in the company all day and only returned home tired when night fell.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw the hot dinner Chi Yu had prepared for her.

At that moment, a warm feeling surged in her heart, and all her fatigue seemed to disappear.

Perhaps, there will always be someone at home who cares about you and a light that is always on for you, which is much better than a passionate and torturous love.

This is the meaning of life.

"Chi Yu, you came back much earlier than me." She greeted Chi Yu who came out with the dishes with a smile, and walked to the dining table and sat down.

Chi Yu smiled indulgently, "Yeah, there's not much to do today, so I came back early."

After serving the last dish, he took out a pair of candles and lit them, and a simple and warm candlelight dinner was ready.

When I look up, I can see the street scene outside again. This is how peaceful the years could be.

"Come, eat." Chi Yu handed a pair of chopsticks to He Yaoyao.

He Yaoyao nodded and began to enjoy the dinner that Chi Yu prepared for her.

Every dish was delicious and she was full of praise.

She knew that these were all prepared by Chi Yu for her with great care, and every bite was filled with his love and care.

After dinner, the two sat on the sofa together, watching TV and chatting.

He Yaoyao felt unprecedented happiness and satisfaction.

After figuring it out, she has been slowly accepting Chi Yu, but she still needs some time to completely let go of her worries and hesitations.

However, the movie chosen tonight was rather boring, and He Yaoyao fell asleep while watching it.

Seeing this, Chi Yu gently turned down the TV volume, then carefully picked up He Yaoyao and gently placed her on the bed in the bedroom.

He gently covered her with a blanket, and after making sure she slept soundly, he quietly left the room and carefully closed the door.

Back in the living room, Chi Yu sat on the sofa, looking softly in the direction of He Yaoyao's room. After looking for a while, he returned to the dining table and sat down. He glanced at the neon lights outside the window, took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the neon street scene outside, and posted the picture of He Yaoyao eating that he had just taken secretly on his social media: Beautiful scenery, a loved one, three meals a day and four seasons, life is enough.

As expected, this circle of friends post was screenshoted and sent to Nicholas Tse.

The more Xie Nicholas Tse watched, the angrier he became, until his eyes turned red with anger.

He picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"During this period, find a way to increase Chiyu's workload, let him travel as much as possible and leave City A." He ordered in a deep voice, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

The person on the other end of the phone quickly agreed: "I understand, Mr. Xie, I will make the arrangements."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Nicholas Tse's anger still had not subsided.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the office, his anxiety revealed in every step.

A few days later, Chi Yu had to reshoot many times while filming, or various advertisers and brands that were leaving City A came to him and asked him to leave City A frequently for business trips.

This caught him off guard. He vaguely felt something, but found it unbelievable.

Nicholas Tse’s hands can’t be stretched that far!

He Yaoyao was also very busy during this period. One night while working overtime, she received a text message:

Come down.

Who are you?

"Famous."

He Yaoyao was confused. Why did Chi Yu call her from an unfamiliar number?

Maybe it's an emergency!

When she went downstairs, she found that the person downstairs in her company was not Chi Yu, but Xie Nicholas Tse.

The moment she saw him, she was a little dazed.

Haven't seen him for a few days.

"Why are you here?" She habitually had a gloomy face and spoke harshly.

"I brought you hot coffee and a midnight snack. It's so late and cold. How can you continue to work like a slave without a midnight snack?"

There was a hint of joking in Xie Nicholas Tse's words, but also a hint of subtle tenderness.

He handed her the bag in his hand, which contained a hot midnight snack and a cup of steaming coffee.

He Yaoyao was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to do this.

Sometimes women are really easy to talk to. They don’t need brand-name bags or big brands. They just want someone to give them some warmth when they feel tired and hungry.

But she couldn't accept it. After all, she had already made the choice and had to keep her distance from Nicholas Tse.

"Thank you, but I don't need these." Her tone was still cold.

Xie Tingxuan chuckled, seemingly unconcerned with her indifference. "Whether you need it or not is your business, and whether I send it to you or not is my business. Just like my feelings for you, whether you accept them or not, they are still there."

"Xie Nicholas, it's over between us. I hope you can respect my choice." She raised her head and looked at him helplessly and tiredly.

Xie Tingxuan's face darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "End? Just like that? He Yaoyao, you're thinking too simply."

"Then what else do you want?" He Yaoyao's tone was filled with a hint of impatience.

"I want you to come back to me." Xie Tingxuan's tone suddenly became serious. He approached He Yaoyao step by step, his eyes full of desire.

He Yaoyao took a few steps back until she was at the corner with nowhere to retreat. "Xie Tingxuan, don't go crazy. I have my own life now, and someone who loves me. I won't go back to you."
