She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

Xiao Chengze finally fell asleep, his small body curled up on the large bed, so tiny, his breathing even and calm.

Su Maiqi tiptoed out of the bedroom, leaving the door slightly ajar.

The little guy was so excited today that he was still full of energy after returning from the restaurant. He ran around the apartment for a long time before finally calming down.

Finally, she hummed a lullaby and gently patted his back, managing to lull the excited little guy to sleep.

Su Maiqi took a shower and took out the dark green silk nightgown from her suitcase—it was her favorite piece, with a soft and smooth texture that felt like water flowing over her skin.

Dark green is her favorite color, deep yet vibrant, like a deep forest, mysterious and full of life.

I had just put on my pajamas when the doorbell rang.

She opened the door, and the sight before her stunned her—

Gu Tingyu stood at the door holding a large bouquet of colorful daisies, the main color being green, dotted with other different colors.

The bouquet was so large that it almost covered his entire face, leaving only his eyes and forehead visible.

Even so, Su Maqi still caught the glint in those eyes behind the bouquet.

It was an expression she was familiar with yet always found breathtaking—focused, gentle, affectionate, and with a hint of barely concealed surprise and joy.

The moment he saw her, the light that shot from Gu Tingyu's eyes seemed to pierce through the bouquet and strike her heart.

"This is for you," Gu Tingyu's voice came through the bouquet, tinged with amusement, "There are quite a few flower shops in Paris."

Su Maiqi reached out and took the heavy bouquet of daisies.

Her arms were almost bent by the weight, but she felt lightheaded, as if she were about to fly away.

“They’re so beautiful,” she whispered, her voice trembling slightly. “Thank you.”

She had just placed the bouquet on the cabinet next to her when Gu Tingyu pulled her into his arms.

His embrace was tight, his arms wrapped around her tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his own body.

This hug conveys silent longing and emotion.

Su Maiqi could feel Gu Tingyu's heartbeat—strong and powerful, yet slightly accelerated, each beat pounding against his chest, and also against her heart.

She pressed herself against Gu Tingyu's chest, feeling the surging emotions hidden there.

All the longing, worry, and love that couldn't be expressed in words were conveyed to her through this hug.

Overwhelmed by such emotions, Su Maiqi felt her heart and her entire body soften.

She nestled against his chest, like a ship docked in a harbor; even amidst raging storms outside, she felt safe and comfortable.

Gu Tingyu rested his chin on the top of her head, his breath gently caressing her hair.

They embraced quietly, neither of them speaking, as if words were superfluous at that moment.

Time seemed to stand still.

The only sounds in the apartment were the two people breathing and the ticking of a clock in the distance.

The Parisian night outside the window was as dark as ink, with twinkling lights like stars in the sky, adding a touch of romance to the city.

Su Maiqi didn't know how long they had been embracing, so long that her legs felt numb, so long that she felt her heartbeat had become one with Gu Tingyu's.

In the end, it was Gu Tingyu who let go first.

He took a small step back, his hands still resting on her shoulders, his gaze fixed intently on her.

"Is Xiao Chengze asleep?" he asked softly, his voice slightly hoarse.

Su Maiqi nodded and replied in the same gentle voice, "Yes, he just fell asleep. He was so excited today; from the moment he got off the plane until he got back to the apartment, he was like he was on steroids."

Gu Tingyu smiled slightly: "He misses you so much. These past few days, he won't hang up during every video call, and he even sleeps with your photo in his arms."

These words melted Su Maiqi's heart once again.

Her eyes felt hot, but she tried hard to hold back the tears.

"Did Xiao Mohan and Lin Manlin board the plane smoothly?" She changed the subject, afraid that she might burst into tears.

"Yes, everything went smoothly," Gu Tingyu nodded. "Lin Manlin asked me to tell you that she will message you as soon as she arrives at her destination."

He glanced around the apartment, his eyes showing appreciation: "This place is very nice, with good natural light and a convenient location."

“Yes,” Sumaiqi said with a smile, “Manlin chose it; she knows my preferences too well.”

Gu Tingyu's gaze fell on her, his eyes deepening: "This dark green suits you very well."

Su Maiqi blushed slightly involuntarily and looked down at her pajamas.

The silk material shimmered softly under the light, and the dark green color contrasted sharply with her fair skin, making her elegant yet sexy.

"I'm going to take a shower," Gu Tingyu said softly, picking up his luggage bag from the doorway. "After a whole day of flying and traveling, I really need a good wash."

Su Maiqi nodded: "Go ahead, I'll arrange the flowers first."

Gu Tingyu walked into the bathroom, and soon the sound of water could be heard.

Sumaiqi then found two large vases and began arranging the enormous bunch of daisies.

There were so many flowers, almost every color imaginable—pure white, light pink, pale yellow, deep purple—but the dominant color was the green that captivated her.

Although daisies are not as romantic as roses or as noble as lilies, they possess a simple and sincere beauty, making them Su Maqi's favorite flower.

She carefully trimmed the flower stems and placed them one by one into the vase.

There were so many flowers that one vase couldn't hold them all, so she had to find another spare vase.

The neatly arranged bouquets, vibrant and colorful, added boundless life and warmth to this temporary home.

Sumaiqi placed one of the vases on the coffee table in the living room and the other in the center of the dining table.

The green daisies shone brightly under the light, illuminating the entire space.

Su Maiqi stood in front of the dining table, gazing at the flowers, a feeling of indescribable emotion welling up in her heart.

These flowers, this person, this emotion—in an instant, this unfamiliar apartment came to life, transforming it into a home.

She couldn't help but recall a saying her mother often used to say: "A home isn't about size or luxury, but about love. A place with love, even if it's just a small house, is a warm harbor."

Now she finally truly understands the meaning of those words.

I've been living alone in this beautifully decorated apartment for the past few days, and although everything is perfect, I always feel like something is missing.

Now, with the arrival of Gu Tingyu and Xiao Chengze, this space seems to have been infused with a soul, becoming the place where her heart truly belongs.

Those thoughts that had once troubled her—the longing for freedom, the fear of being bound, and the doubts about marriage—now seemed less important.

Because she realized that true freedom is not about flying alone, but about finding security in the embrace of love and then bravely pursuing your dreams.

Gu Tingyu gave her this sense of security, never restricting her wings, but instead becoming her strong support, allowing her to fly to higher and farther places without any worries.

She gazed at the green daisies and seemed to see the light in Gu Tingyu's eyes.

The light was deep and warm, like the brightest star in the night sky, guiding her in the right direction.

As she stared blankly at the flowers, she heard Gu Tingyu come out of the bathroom.

Then, he walked behind her and hugged her.
