After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

"..."

Her head seemed to be hurting again.

Mu Chenxi turned over and lay with her back to him, facing Zhou Yu's question, unsure of what to say.

It's all her fault for being too impulsive today.

Instead of winning him back, it backfired, making him even more distant.

She remained silent for a long time before hesitatingly asking, "Are you... are you still angry with me?"

"..."

Zhou Yu remained silent, unsure of what to say.

He wasn't really angry, but he just felt inexplicably awkward.

Moreover, their relationship is a mess right now, so it's really strange for them to live together.

Not hearing the man's reply, Mu Chenxi remained silent.

Her expression was indifferent, and she looked somewhat tired.

After lying there for a long time, Mu Chenxi got tired of lying in one position and turned over.

Who knew that as she turned over, the woman's legs, under the same blanket, would accidentally press against the man's legs.

In an instant, both of them froze.

Zhou Yu was the first to react, but he was still furious whenever he thought about how Mu Chenxi had pretended to be lame to deceive him.

Although there were extenuating circumstances, he just couldn't control himself and felt very uncomfortable!

The man quickly moved his legs back, turned over, and closed his eyes to go to sleep.

Just as his mind went blank and he was about to drift off to sleep, he felt the woman behind him sit up abruptly from the bed.

Zhou Yu was suddenly jolted awake by the last vestiges of sleepiness. He turned his head and saw Mu Chenxi standing by the bed, slightly out of breath.

Zhou Yu glanced at her. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I... have a bit of a cold."

Mu Chenxi turned her face to the side, and Zhou Yu couldn't see her expression in the darkness. He could only hear her hoarse voice, "You go to sleep first, I'm going to the bathroom."

"okay."

Zhou Yu responded and then turned over to go back to sleep.

In the dimly lit bedroom, Mu Chenxi felt unusually hot. She controlled her slightly disordered breathing and walked into the bathroom in the dark.

The cold water from the showerhead soaked Mu Chenxi completely. She finally breathed a sigh of relief once the heat inside her body had completely subsided.

"Ah."

Suddenly, the woman smiled self-deprecatingly.

She had always thought of herself as a heartless and loveless person, but after meeting Zhou Yu, she unexpectedly turned into such a timid and unyielding girl. It's really...

The next day, Zhou Yu got up very early.

He quickly washed up and went to his art class without even having breakfast, just so he wouldn't run into Mu Chenxi.

Mu Chenxi actually woke up early, but seeing that Zhou Yu didn't seem to care about her, she didn't wake up.

Mu Chenxi only slowly opened her eyes and sat up in bed after hearing the man close the door, letting out a sigh.

Zhou Yu had no classes all day. The reason he came out was twofold: firstly, to conduct a surprise inspection of the work situation, and secondly, because he felt uncomfortable seeing Mu Chenxi and wanted to get away from her.

Zhou Yu was comfortably sitting in his office, enjoying the air conditioning and eating ice cream, when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Zhou Yu got up and opened the door, and saw a large bouquet of roses behind the deliveryman. The bouquet was extremely fresh, and the delicate leaves even had water droplets on them.

Its vibrant red color would make it stand out even if placed casually on the street, becoming the most dazzling artwork from a hundred meters away.

Who sent this?

Could it be a student's parent coming to thank him?

But thanking a teacher doesn't seem like it's appropriate to give roses...

"Is this Mr. Zhou Yu? Please sign for it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu borrowed the form. The sender's section was anonymous, marked with a row of asterisks.

Zhou Yu was even more bewildered and could only look up at the courier, "Hello, could you please tell me who sent this? Or, do you have the sender's address?"

"The documents are anonymous, and we cannot access the customer's specific information."

"Oh..." Zhou Yu could only accept the flowers first, then put them on the ground and stared at the roses.

Who gave it to him?

Zhou Yu was looking through the flowers when he suddenly spotted a small note hidden among the roses. He quickly took it out and read, "There's no secret to growing old together. It's simply about cherishing the moments of love and taking a step back when things are tough."

Upon seeing this sentence, Zhou Yu was stunned for a long time, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

This must have been prepared for him by Mu Chenxi.

I never expected that after just one awkward day, they would receive an apology from the big boss.

To my surprise, Mu Chenxi was so good at coaxing people!

He actually received roses from Mu Chenxi.

Zhou Yu's eyes crinkled with laughter without him even realizing it, and he was deeply moved.

He squatted on the ground, his long, slender fingers fiddling with the rose petals.

Zhou Yu was so moved that tears streamed down his face. After a moment of reflection, he looked down at the roses on the ground, and then he felt... something was not quite right.

Why did Mu Chenxi send him roses?

Even if they had a falling out, even if the big shot wanted to give him something to cheer him up, he should have given him flowers like lilies, carnations, or violets, not roses.

And they're red roses!

Could it be... that Mu Chenxi has fallen for him?

Zhou Yu touched his face and thought it was really impossible!

There are so many good men in the world, and she is like an empress, surrounded by good men. How could she possibly fall for someone as ordinary as him?

Impossible Impossible!

Mu Chenxi probably thought it was unusual to give something to a boy, so she didn't think about the meaning or symbolism of the flowers and just gave it to him to appease him.

Yes, that must be the case.

However, thinking that Mu Chenxi could still comfort him and give him gifts when he was unhappy, Zhou Yu felt his depressed mood instantly disappear.

Sure enough, in the eyes of the big shot, his nominal husband is still somewhat different from other men.

Since she's already swallowed her pride to coax him, he can't appear petty. After all, it's understandable that she lied, and how can a grown man like him hold a grudge?
