He Yufan, with a sense of responsibility, waved her hand, saying, "It's my fault. I know matters of love are delicate and cannot be forced. We don't have the kind of connection that allows for it. I hope we can still be good colleagues."

"We already are," Zhou Guangtao smiled at her with a warm expression. "You did well today; let the driver take you home, rest properly and don't overthink things."

He Yufan forced herself to smile brightly and playfully saluted Zhou Guangtao, saying, "Yes, sir!"

The moment she sat in the car, He Yufan felt deflated and slumped into her seat. She curled up the corners of her mouth, smiling self-deprecatingly but immediately turned to look at where Zhou Guangtao stood.

Steadfast like a jade tree; refined and courteous!

Haha, giving up is no easy task!

In the afternoon, before Yan Luoxi had finished work, Ran Xu called her. "Luoxi, don't forget to bring me along when you finish work! I'm waiting for you at your company's entrance."

"Now" Holding the phone, Yan Luoxi walked up to the window and saw that Ran Xu’s inconspicuous black car was parked right in front of her company.

Isn't it too ostentatious to have a big star waiting for me!

"Hurry up and drive away!" Yan Luoxi said nervously; she didn't want Zhou Guangtao to see this scene. "I'll come over after work."

Ran Xu obediently drove the car forward, chuckling.

After work, Yan Luoxi acted like a thief, running quickly to Ran Xu's car and checking around before darting into it in one swift move.

Ran Xu turned his head, looking at her disheveled appearance with a handsome and gentle smile. "Miss, is going on a date with me such an embarrassing thing" The setting sun's rays dimmed slightly through the car window but still cast a glow around Ran Xu's hair and face.

Yan Luoxi frowned and hesitated for a few seconds before lightly coughing. "I need to remind you again that I have a boyfriend..."

"I haven't forgotten." Starting the car, Ran Xu focused on the road ahead. "You're not married yet, so you still have the right to associate with other people."

“But I don’t want to exercise this right; I want to be loyal to my boyfriend.”

Yan Luoxi tilted her head slightly, and her scent reached Ran Xu's nostrils, reminding him of the sweetness of peach candy. He smiled softly. "If you're so good to your boyfriend, is he equally kind to you"

Hearing a hint of mockery in Ran Xu’s voice, Yan Luoxi held up her purse for him to see, widening her eyes slightly as she spoke: “Of course my boyfriend treats me well; look, this bag was bought for me by him—it's very expensive!” She mentioned the price with an air of boasting.

Ran Xu suddenly released the steering wheel and applauded loudly. "So you believe that someone being good to you means buying you an expensive purse That’s easy to fix; I’ll buy you ten, no, one hundred or even two hundred purses! See how well I treat you, so please do the same for me!"

Yan Luoxi snorted and pouted, staring out the window.

"I didn’t mean anything else by what I said; I just think your boyfriend doesn’t treat you well," Ran Xu saw that Yan Luoxi was upset and explained softly.

Yan Luoxi smiled faintly. "Love is like drinking water; only the person who drinks it knows if it’s cold or warm. Do you really believe watching many movies and TV shows makes you an expert on love My boyfriend's concern for me isn’t something a mere observer can understand, especially one who has observed only once or twice!"

Ran Xu also grew agitated, his words sharp, "If your boyfriend cared about you, why would he let you wander around outside every day Why allow you to go to the hospital alone when you’re sick Why leave you stranded on a flooded street, unable to move and all alone in the sun

Is this how he shows his concern for you Many things can’t be hidden; whether someone is good or not isn’t something said with words! And your well-being is apparent to anyone who looks closely."

A sharp intake of breath escaped Yan Luoxi as she abruptly turned to look at Ran Xu, who also turned to meet her gaze. His eyes were intense and showed no intention of backing down.

"Stop the car! I want out!" Yan Luoxi yelled in a mixture of anger and humiliation.

"Luoxi, I didn’t mean to mock you or pry into your personal life; I was just concerned. Please don’t act like a child—facing reality is better. Otherwise one day it will hit you hard," Ran Xu’s voice softened immediately, not unworthy of an actor; his gentle tone could instantly soothe any anger.

The fury that Yan Luoxi had been trying to muster was easily calmed, and she collapsed like a deflated balloon, weakly leaning against the backrest.

During this period, Zhou Guangtao’s neglect of her wasn’t something she hadn’t noticed. She did have thoughts about it but tried desperately not to acknowledge them. Today, having been ruthlessly confronted by Ran Xu, her heart felt bitter and heavy.

Yan Luoxi was in low spirits throughout the journey until Ran Xu parked the car, at which point she snapped out of her thoughts and sat up straight, saying, "Oh right, do you want to eat somewhere I’ll treat you."

Ran Xu unexpectedly reached out to tickle her nose, "Get out of the car. I’ll take you home to a restaurant that will definitely satisfy your taste."

Yan Luoxi followed Ran Xu off the car in a daze and saw they were at a quiet residential villa area with excellent facilities. She was surprised and asked, "You wouldn’t have brought me to your house"

"Smart!" Ran Xu ruffled her head as if praising a child.

Yan Luoxi looked around the celebrity’s home in bewilderment; it wasn’t a grand villa but rather a smaller two-story one with its own garage and garden.

The villas here were not large, but they were far apart from each other and surrounded by tall trees and flowers—Ran Xu likely chose this area for the privacy that celebrities desired.

Ran Xu’s home was decorated very simply with a vast backdrop in off-white, contrasting greatly with the dark green tables and chairs. It left an impression on anyone who entered.

Yan Luoxi took a look around and saw some food in the dining room, realizing that Ran Xu had planned to bring her home for dinner all along.

Ran Xu didn’t hide his intentions either; he opened the fridge and served her fruit while also handing her a box of strawberry-flavored yogurt. "I asked my assistant to buy these items from the supermarket this afternoon, and before I went to pick you up, I had everything prepared. We can start eating soon."

Yan Luoxi held the yogurt in hand, looking at Ran Xu with suspicion, “Why are you so nice to me What’s your motive”This embrace seemed to use up all of his strength; Yan Luoxi was tightly held against his chest, the air in her lungs felt like it was being squeezed out. Because she had difficulty breathing, she ope...
