It's all fate, beyond our control. At least Xie Yu'an is safe and sound, which is the best ending, isn't it? She knows this, so she is willing to accept this ending.

"I want to leave... Can you take me with you?" She can't hear me anymore. Let's leave quickly before she goes blind. And now, she can answer the question Kano once asked.

It was too painful. An Cinian felt so desperate. She wanted to leave Beicheng. Since she was going to be resolute, she would cut off all contact with Xie Yu'an this time. For a moment, she even felt like she didn't want to live anymore.

More devastating than the white moonlight is the white moonlight that has passed away. Xie Yu'an, you are the eternal white moonlight in my heart, and the cinnabar mole engraved in my heart.

You clearly love me too, so why can't we be together in the end?

Xie Yu'an, I love you, but someone like me is utterly rotten, and I could die at any moment. Someone like me can't give you any promises; I can only deceive you and let you down again and again.

All I needed to do from beginning to end was stay away from you.

An Cinian lay curled up on the sofa.

Their distance was like that between clouds and the sea. They clearly loved each other and couldn't bear to see each other sad or hurt, yet she couldn't even give Xie Yu'an the words "I love you."

The clouds, carrying the blue sky on their backs, overlook the earth, yet those lofty clouds only seek their own piece of sea. My reflection shimmers in your waves, I struggle to squeeze into your oceanic world. I've taken 99 steps towards you, why do you still hesitate to come forward and embrace me?

The sea gazes up at the white clouds, and at first glance, it is breathtaking. I have long kept you deep in my heart, but the saltiness of the sea tells me that I am in the lowest place in the world, where the endless darkness and dampness are terrifyingly cold. How can I dare to drag you down from your pedestal in such a world? I dare not love you.

While crying, An Cinian woke up again at 10 a.m. the next day.

Looking at the familiar ceiling and the surroundings, was this the bedroom that Xie Yu'an had carried her back to?

Knock, knock, knock. Someone knocked on the bedroom door. An Cinian got dressed and opened the door.

"Madam, I've prepared ginseng soup. Would you like some?"

After politely declining, An Cinian closed the door and started washing up. She didn't arrive at the company building until noon, carrying a pink bag.

She's an employee of the company, after all. But she doesn't arrive at get off work on time every day, and I'm afraid many people in the company are talking about it.

"Good afternoon, Sister Ci Nian." Tang Man greeted An Ci Nian warmly as soon as she saw her.

Just as An Cinian opened the emergency exit with her access card, Tang Man thought of something, immediately leaned close to her ear, glanced around, and whispered, "Sister Cinian, I wonder who angered President Xie. He scolded everyone in the company in just one morning. Be careful today."

Upon hearing this, An Cinian, who was still waiting for the elevator, finally spoke her first words: "Is she very fierce?"

It's not even the word "fierce" to describe it; I've never seen my boss lose his temper like this before.

"Of course, when General Manager Xie entered the company gate this morning, Manager Li from the design department was only untied in his tie. General Manager Xie immediately fired him with a stern face and then threw a huge tantrum, saying that the company was becoming increasingly lax and that without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Now, all departments are starting to lay off employees... No, that's not important. What's important is that General Manager Xie's face was so sour. He didn't even have to say anything, but he already terrified us. When he got angry, he wished he could burn the company down."

The thought of Xie Yu'an's face amplified the shadow in Tang Man's heart, causing her to tremble all over.

It sounds exaggerated, but you can tell Tang Man is terrified.

The elevator doorbell rang at that moment.

An Cinian turned her head and was frozen in place. Their eyes met, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

You really can't keep talking about people. The boss just appeared in front of her like that, and she was so scared that she quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Xie. Um, Sister Ci Nian, I have to go now." She slunk away and didn't dare to stay there for even a second.

There were only Xie Yu'an and Shen Yuxiao in the elevator, and it was unclear where they were going.

Seeing that An Cinian neither spoke nor moved, he took three steps, reached out and pulled An Cinian into the elevator, and then gave Shen Yuxiao a look to get out.

"Not going to say anything?"

An Cinian, who was being held tightly in someone's arms, finally came to her senses and pulled away from the embrace: "I heard from Xiao Shen that you haven't had lunch yet. I asked Butler Sun to prepare lunch for you. Would you like some?"

Xie Yu'an didn't say anything, but simply took the lunchbox, took An Cinian's hand, and led her into the office openly and honestly.

The rest of the company stared wide-eyed, bewildered. They recalled An Cinian's arrival at the company, their boss's strange demeanor and behavior, and the fact that the company even had a dedicated kitchen. They began to whisper among themselves.

Lin Yan looked at the two of them and thought, "Oh my god, you two were supposed to keep a low profile, but this is the office. You didn't announce it to the whole world, did you?"

As the door slowly closed, Xie Yu'an placed the lunchbox on the table, and then pushed An Cinian onto the soft sofa.

He leaned closer, his sharp gaze fixed on An Cinian's face, a hint of mockery in his voice: "What, afraid I'll hurt Lu Ye, so you've come here to curry favor with me?"

"No, I just wanted to bring you food!" An Cinian immediately explained, her voice revealing a hint of urgency.

She didn't mean it that way at all.

Xie Yu gazed quietly into An Cinian's eyes. After a moment, she loosened her grip on his wrist, sat down on the side of the sofa, and reached out to open the lunchbox that An Cinian had brought.

The vegetarian meat dish was very generous, and there was also ginseng soup.

"eat together."

“Oh.” An Cinian did not refute, and took out another pair of chopsticks from the box. She had originally planned to eat with Xie Yu’an, but she didn’t know if Xie Yu’an was still angry, otherwise why didn’t he wake her up in the morning.

An Cinian silently took the lunchbox and began to eat quietly, the air in the entire office becoming still because of the two of them.

Xie Yu'an glanced at the lunchbox on the table: "You don't need to bring food next time. The company has someone who cooks for you."

An Cinian felt that the words were cold and devoid of warmth, and even felt that her enthusiasm had been doused with cold water. It seemed that this man was still angry about what happened last night.

For some reason, Xie Yu'an's eyes felt like crying. She had never looked so cold before, not even when she was angry.

On second thought, what right did she have to be upset? Wasn't all of this her own doing? Xie Yu'an had begged her so much, yet she still hurt Xie Yu'an. This was the result she deserved.

A tick for a tick.

Xie Yu'an received no response from An Cinian, and turned to see that the lunchbox was blocking An Cinian's eyes.

He reached out and grabbed An Cinian's hands, then lowered them, immediately noticing An Cinian's slightly red eyes.

"Why are you crying again?"

"No, I just choked and feel a little uncomfortable."

An Cinian turned slightly to the side, made up an excuse, and continued to eat her white rice. She felt a little embarrassed, even overly pretentious.

Xie Yu'an sighed, straightened up as he read An Ci's name, and looked into those aggrieved eyes.

"I mean, it's too much work for you to deliver meals like this. From now on, we can just eat at the company. It's healthier and more convenient, do you understand what I mean?"

He simply couldn't bring himself to be ruthless towards An Cinian; he was willing to submit to her.

"Besides, I set up a kitchen in the company specifically for you, not so that you would have to work so hard."

Hearing Xie Yu'an's words, An Cinian raised her eyes. She had overheard the employees discussing behind her back, wondering why President Xie had suddenly decided to set up a kitchen in the company... Yes, I've never heard of any CEO having such leisure and refined tastes... Who do you think it's for...?

Later on, some people even began to suspect that it was because of Secretary An.

An Cinian was stunned, staring blankly at the man in front of her. Xie Yu'an's eyes were beautiful, with double eyelids, clear and bright. In fact, if you look closely, there is a black mole in the middle of the left eyelid.

That was Xie Yu'an's unique feature; she had touched it while Xie Yu'an was asleep.

She felt an urge to hug Xie Yu'an right now and say, "I was wrong. Actually, Xie Yu'an, I love you. I really love you. I've loved you since my past life. My heart has fluttered countless times. My only true love is this man named Xie Yu'an in front of me!"

However, she was a dying woman, and she dared not tell Xie Yu'an. She was afraid that in her past life, because she had told him, Luo He had bullied him, and he had beaten her. He had even slapped An Wenxin. The person in the right had become a rude person.

Xie Yu'an did this just because of one sentence. What if she told him she liked him and she was going to die? What would Xie Yu'an do then? She was really afraid that Xie Yu'an would do something impulsive.

She had finally managed to keep Xie Yu'an safe, and she dared not gamble anymore.

"Ayu, how about we make another deal?"

An Cinian controlled her trembling body and carefully took Xie Yu'an's hand, hoping that Xie Yu'an would agree to her request.

"it is good."

"Aren't you going to ask me what kind of deal it is?" An Cinian's eyes began to well up with tears again.

Xie Yu'an's large hand stroked An Cinian's cheek; this face, these eyes, were all etched into his heart.

"You know I can't refuse you."
