A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

Jiang Yi slowly woke up, but the arm that had been holding her was gone, and the spot next to her was no longer warm.

When she woke up from her drunken stupor, the dryness in her throat made Jiang Yi desperately need a glass of water. Her attempt to get out of bed was stopped by the stinging sensation in the soles of her feet.

"Slow down." Chi Ruiche, dressed in pajamas, walked in carrying a plate and opened the curtains.

Jiang Yi rubbed her temples as sunlight streamed in. She blinked, and the sight of Chi Ruiche made her smile without any attempt to hide it. Her smile was like the rising sun, signifying a new beginning.

Jiang Yi drank a glass of warm water, and the discomfort in her throat immediately disappeared. "What time is it?"

"Nine o'clock." Chi Ruiche wiped the water stains from his lips. "I'll carry you to wash up."

"it is good."

Chi Ruiche thoughtfully helped her wash up and tied her hair up with a black and white ribbon, making a pretty bow.

"Isn't there a hair tie?" Jiang Yi wiped her face, applied some face cream, and then confidently looked at her new hairstyle, touching the ribbon.

Chi Ruiche gently pinched her cheek. "Didn't you say last time that the hair tie hurt a little when you took it off?"

Jiang Yi tilted her head, her eyes darting around as if she had discovered something extraordinary. She smiled mysteriously, "My CEO Chi, you actually remember such a small thing."

Chi Ruiche knelt down to meet her gaze. "I love you." He held her hands, his eyes deep and focused, each word striking her heart like a drumbeat.

Jiang Yi felt his love, her body ignited, and their hearts drew closer. Her blushing face was a response to this love. A kiss deepened their affection.

The phone rang in the room, interrupting their passionate moment. Chi Ruiche, with a dark expression, carried Jiang Yi to the bedroom.

"Boss, are you here yet? I called Xiao Si, but her phone is off." Abu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Abu, looking for me?" Jiang Yi called out jokingly. She'd been having a bit of a wicked quirk lately and just wanted to tell everyone that she was with Chi Ruiche.

"You two are living together?" Abu was unable to express his feelings for a moment. Did the two of them not show up last night because they changed their proposal plan?

Jiang said smugly, "Guess! You want to see me about something?"

"Today is the celebration party for the movie 'Melody of Love.' Boss is the biggest investor. You should also do Third Brother a favor. The reward is negotiable." Abu's voice became less sharp and instead had a sly tone.

"Speak the key."

“A director really likes your voice, including yesterday’s song, and hopes you can sing it again live. He wants to choose it as the theme song for his new drama.”

"That song is copyrighted." Jiang Yi only sang a portion of it a cappella yesterday and did not use it for commercial purposes.

“I’ve already secured the copyright. Are you interested?” Abu’s eyes lit up as he lowered his voice. “This drama is also one of the TV series that my company will be heavily promoting next year.”

“Then I want…” Jiang Yi was fed a spoonful of porridge by Chi Ruiche.

Chi Ruiche completely ignored the contents of the phone call, stubbornly picked up the rice porridge, and slowly fed it to Jiang.

"That's enough." Jiang Yi was being fed spoonful by spoonful, but Chi Ruiche showed no sign of stopping, and couldn't help but lose his temper, raising his voice.

"What? Ancestor, don't be so hasty! We can talk this over. I can offer a higher price." Abu was getting anxious. They were negotiating so well, why was he getting angry?

"Promise me three things, the kind of unconditional obedience." Jiang Yi took the opportunity to play a little trick, teasing Abu seemed like a good idea.

“Okay.” Abu agreed without hesitation, figuring it wouldn’t be too difficult anyway. “See you later.”

Jiang Yi pretended to be angry, glaring at Chi Ruiche with a huff. Chi Ruiche, on the other hand, held the bowl with only a little porridge left, gently chewing on the side dishes, eating with relish.

"You deliberately?"

"Is it obvious?" Chi Ruiche broke open a meat bun and fed it to Jiang Yi, while looking at him with doting eyes.

"Is the wheelchair still at home?" Jiang Yi took another bite.

"Hmm, not today." Chi Ruiche wiped his hands and handed her a napkin. "I'll hug you."

"So many people, it's not a good look." Jiang Yi frowned. Just thinking about having so many people watching him made him uncomfortable.

Chi Ruiche took the plate away and looked at the gauze on her foot. "Miss Jiang, are you unwilling to confirm my identity?"

Jiang Yi was stunned. Chi Ruiche had always claimed to be her boyfriend, and she hadn't said anything. "Then this is troublesome, my fiancé."

"I'd be happy to." Chi Ruiche gave a playful, gentlemanly bow. "I'll have Aunt Wang help you change your clothes."

With Aunt Wang's help, Jiang Yi changed into a black velvet matte Chinese cheongsam. The traditional stand-up collar showed off her neckline, green frog buttons matched the cuffs, and pearl cufflinks of the same color were inlaid. The long sleeves were embroidered with butterflies, and the low slit made the cheongsam stylish. Pearl earrings and her long hair pulled back made her look even more formal.

Chi Ruiche chose a black double-breasted suit that matched her color, looking as elegant as ever.

"We can go now." Chi Ruiche packed another handbag and asked Youming to wait downstairs.

"Che, these socks are too ugly. I'll wear shoes and not walk." Jiang Yi shook her feet, wearing the thick, conspicuous black wool socks that Chi Ruiche had given her.

"Wearing shoes will hurt your feet." Chi Ruiche chose to unilaterally refuse and carried her out of the villa.

Abu's celebration banquet this time focused on a warm and intimate atmosphere. He chose a private hotel and booked a private room that could accommodate everyone. This was also the first gathering of the main creative team, so everyone was quite relaxed and chatted about topics they hadn't seen in a long time.

The company's top executives were also present at the celebration banquet. The original team members will also get to know the upcoming TV series to some extent, and the male and female leads have officially announced their second collaboration.

"Xiao Si, I had them bring a chair, you can sit down." Ignoring Chi Ruiche's cold gaze, Abu was more anxious than anything else when facing the late Jiang Yi.

As soon as Jiang Yi stepped onto the stage, all eyes were on her. Her initial nervousness vanished when she picked up the microphone. Her face was as beautiful as a lotus, shimmering under the lights. As the music played, her melodious voice filled the hall.

Who can so easily dismiss longing?

Through countless reincarnations, I only wish to continue our predestined relationship.

She was slender, and even when she was sitting, her melodious voice, combined with the operatic style, seemed to be telling her own story, captivating the listener.

As the song ended, Jiang Yi was carried away by Chi Ruiche, while the director who had specifically asked Jiang Yi to sing quickly walked away, his face full of admiration. "I knew I hadn't misjudged her. Miss Jiang's voice is perfect."

"You flatter me," Jiang Yi said modestly, as she had indeed not practiced for a long time.

"I wonder where Miss Jiang studied under, and whether she knows Teacher Cui Xiuling?" The director was looking for some kind of shadow in her.

“When I was young, I studied under Mr. Hu Yueshi and learned a thing or two. Cui Xiuling is my mother.”

"No wonder, Miss Jiang and Teacher Cui look somewhat alike. Mr. Hu Yueshi is a titan in the theater world. No wonder Miss Jiang is so outstanding." The director exchanged compliments.

"I just hope I don't embarrass myself." Jiang smiled, making him appear more harmless.

"I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration." The director also shook hands with Jiang Yi, and he was quite surprised to see his idol's daughter.

Under Abu's arrangement, the celebration banquet ended in a pleasant atmosphere, with Jiang Yi being held by Chi Ruiche like a pendant throughout.

"Boss, you're going on a business trip for a few days tomorrow." Abu took a bite of fruit.

"I'll be back before the 6th." Chi Ruiche glanced at his watch, looking forward to that day. "Xiao Yi's foot is injured, please take good care of her for me."

“No problem.” Abu and Jiang complained to each other, but their relationship was really close.
