Followed by.

As soon as she entered the reception room, she saw a figure that shocked her. The man had his back to the huge French window, and the sunlight outlined his outline clearly and deeply. He was a man with an upright figure and extraordinary temperament. He slowly turned around, and his deep eyes met Chu Xixi's.

"You..." Chu Xixi's heart suddenly tightened. She never expected to meet him here - Song Yian.

Song Yian has always been a mystery in her life. This romantic and suave man seems to be omnipotent, but he is always unpredictable. What is his relationship with Xu Yuanmo? What does his appearance mean?

Xu Yuanmo looked at the two people staring at each other, with a smile on his face, but he did not reveal the answer. He looked at Chu Xixi's face, then quietly took a step back, as if tacitly agreeing to something happening.

The atmosphere between Chu Xixi and Song Yian was unusually heavy, and their eyes seemed to be in a silent contest. Xu Yuanmo knew the significance of this moment, and he lightly retreated to one side of the reception room, but his eyes did not leave Chu Xixi's figure.

At this moment, Song Yian seemed to raise a playful smile.

In Xu Yuanmo's car, Chu Xixi suddenly felt a blur of calmness. She clenched her hands, and the scene just now flashed back in her mind. The bitterness in her heart had nowhere to be released. She was full of doubts about her future.

Vehicles were traveling through the bustling city, neon lights were flashing, but Chu Xixi's mood could not calm down.

Xu Yuanmo occasionally glanced at her, his eyes deep, as if he wanted to find out the secrets deep in her heart. He opened his red lips slightly, and his low voice broke the silence.

"Ms. Chu, you may not believe it, but I firmly believe that everyone has more than one path to take in life."

Chu Xixi couldn't help but want to laugh when she heard this, but she found that she couldn't laugh at all. "Mr. Xu, do you want to teach philosophy, or do you have any jokes to tell?"

"Philosophy is too heavy for me. I prefer to believe in opportunities." Xu Yuanmo said, pointing forward through the car window, "Look, we are almost there."

The car stopped in front of an elegant small building with an exquisite sign hanging in front of it, "Yuanmo Design Studio". Chu Xixi's pupils shrank. It seemed that she had heard of this name somewhere.

"Where is this...?" she asked, frowning slightly.

Xu Yuanmo made a gentlemanly invitation gesture. "Get off the car. This may be your new starting point."

Chu Xixi got out of the car hesitantly. Her high heels made a crisp sound on the cobblestone road, echoing in the quiet night.

She followed Xu Yuanmo into the studio. The interior decoration was simple yet stylish, and every layout revealed an ingenious sense of design.

"You asked me to come here because you want to..." Chu Xixi hesitated to speak. She was not sure if she was ready for the new challenge.

"I hope you can become the design director here." Xu Yuanmo's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Chu Xixi's heart.

Chu Xixi was stunned, her complex emotions were evident in her words, but she was mostly surprised and confused.

"Are you kidding me? How dare you trust a woman who just broke off her engagement?" She tried to hide her inner trembling with a frivolous tone.

"I never care about a person's past," Xu Yuanmo said calmly, "I only care about what kind of contribution she can make to the future."

No one knew the excitement in Chu Xixi's heart. She bit her lip, and a moment of determination flashed in her eyes. This determination came late, but seemed unusually strong. At this moment, she realized that this was not just an opportunity to start over, but a challenge to reconstruct herself.

Xu Yuanmo turned around and began to walk out, leaving behind a mysterious and provocative back.

"After you think it over, you can give me an answer." His voice faded away, leaving Chu Xixi alone, facing the unknown future. At that moment, she felt the tense atmosphere of unprecedented challenges and opportunities. The breeze blew gently, and the faint light of the morning sun sprinkled on the floor tiles of the trainers. Chu Xixi walked briskly through the bustling crowd and walked into the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Today was supposed to be an important day for her - the day she and her childhood sweetheart Huo Hangfan got their marriage certificate. She was so excited and expectant that she even wore his favorite white casual outfit.

However, fate often likes to play a joke at an important moment. Just as Chu Xixi was standing in the lobby of the Civil Affairs Bureau, preparing to call Huo Hangfan, a familiar scene appeared before her eyes.

A girl turned around from the intersection not far away with a panicked look on her face. Her longing for her deceased parents made Chu Xixi instantly understand: this girl had the same name as her, and her name was also Chu Xixi.

"Xixi!" Huo Hangfan's voice came from the receiver, but it was less gentle than usual and more impatient. "Where are you? Didn't you say we'd meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau today?"

Chu Xixi was stunned, looked around, and couldn't help but raise her voice. "I'm right here, behind you!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then the voices of her boyfriend, whom she knew well, and the girl whom she didn't know well came in. It seemed that they didn't meet by chance.

Feelings of nervousness, anger, and disappointment surged up, and Chu Xixi's mind was suddenly filled with the image of him chatting with another girl. She held the phone tightly, and her fingertips turned white from excessive force.

"Huo Hangfan, it seems that our good thing is not as smooth as we imagined." Her voice was steady, but revealed a hint of loss that could not be concealed.

She ended the call and looked up at the sky, trying not to let the tears fall. "How could it happen so coincidentally?" she whispered to herself.

"It seems that I have just given myself an excuse." She smiled bitterly, put her phone into her handbag, and walked forward, ready to fight for her love again.

The luxury car was cruising in the alleys of the city. Chu Xixi looked at the scenery outside the car window. Although her tears had stopped, the pain in her heart seemed endless. Xu Yuanmo looked at her trembling hand covering the Lingxi ring and said nothing.

He signaled to the driver to change direction, then took out a document from his backpack and gently pushed it across the table. "Take a look at this." His voice was low and hoarse.

Chu Xixi took the document, looked at him strangely, and then opened it. It was a design plan, the design details of tomorrow's building, including the decoration style of each apartment, the layout of the garden, the planning of public facilities, and even the direction of each window. It was exhaustive.

She looked at the plan, and the anger in her heart seemed to subside temporarily. "What is this?"

"This is a big project that Tomorrow Group is working on." Xu Yuanmo smiled self-deprecatingly. "This is actually the wedding gift I originally planned to give you. As a designer, this project should bring you a lot of fame and wealth."

Chu Xixi felt warm at heart when she heard his words. She looked at Xu Yuanmo with a look of deep emotion. "Why? Why would you help me?"

Xu Yuanmo did not answer her question, but looked out the window and thought deeply. "Maybe, I don't know. I only know that you are the bravest woman I have ever met, and I... I hope you can have a better future, instead of being bound by those boring gossips."

The car stopped in front of a tall building. Xu Yuanmo opened the door and said to Chu Xixi, "Xixi, let's start from here tomorrow. I hope you can accept this gift."

Chu Xixi looked at him, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. She took the document and a faint smile appeared on her face. "Okay, I accept your gift, thank you, Xu Yuanmo."

Then, she got out of the car and walked towards the tall building. Xu Yuanmo looked at her back again, and a faint worry in his heart could not help but emerge again. He knew that from now on, she would face more challenges and difficulties.

But he believed that Chu Xixi, this brave woman, would be able to move forward courageously.

The car slowly drove away. Chu Xixi watched it disappear from her sight and once again put her worries behind her. Tomorrow, let it start from here. She clenched the documents in her hand, her heart full of confidence.

The next second, she called Qin Shiyu and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to start a new project. Are you interested?" Qin Shiyu's surprised voice seemed to carry a hint of expectation. "Of course! Tell me, what is your new project?"

Sitting in Xu Yuanmo's car, Chu Xixi's mood gradually calmed down. She looked at the street scenes flashing outside the car window and suddenly realized where she was taken - it was a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

"This is the way to Qingshan Orphanage. How do you know...?" Chu Xixi turned her head and looked at Xu Yuanmo in confusion.

Xu Yuanmo didn't look at her, but just raised the corners of his lips slightly. "Don't forget what I do, Miss Chu."

The car finally stopped in front of the orphanage. Chu Xixi's eyes stayed on the familiar white building, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart. She was about to get out of the car, but was stopped by Xu Yuanmo.

"Wait a minute." He took out an exquisite box and handed it to her, "Maybe you still need this."

Chu Xixi opened the box, revealing a uniquely designed necklace that was simple yet exquisite. She looked up and wanted to ask, but met Xu Yuanmo's deep eyes.

"I think it suits you very well." His voice softened a lot.

Chu Xixi thought for a moment and finally put the necklace on her neck. The soft light dancing around her graceful neck really brought out her unique temperament.

"Thank you..." she whispered, surprised even by her own voice.

They walked into the orphanage together, and it happened that the director Liang Shufen had just received a guest. When Chu Xixi saw the figure with his back to her, her heart skipped a beat.

"Jiang Jinyu? Why are you here...?" Chu Xixi's tone was full of confusion.

Jiang Jinyu turned around, with a warm smile on her face. "The dean told me that there is a special child he wants to introduce to me. I think that must be you."

The dean smiled and said nothing. At this moment, all the questions and confusions seemed to be connected in Chu Xixi's mind.

"This is a little gift from Dean Liang and me." Jiang Jinyu placed a thick envelope on the table. "I hope you can accept it. After all, this is your home too."

Chu Xixi's eyes were slightly moist. She understood that no matter how far she went, this place would always be her safe haven.

"Maybe, I really need a new beginning," Chu Xixi said softly, looking at Xu Yuanmo and Jiang Jinyu beside her, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

The air in the car seemed to have evaporated the comfort and tranquility, replaced by heavy suspicion and uncertainty. Chu Xixi squinted, her eyes slightly raised, instantly showing cunning and wit. Xu Yuanmo, this man seemed to be very good at acting, at least from his mysterious words and compelling eyes, Chu Xixi read the plot of the script.

The cars shuttled through the streets of the city, just like traveling on the trajectory of the two people's intertwined fate. Chu Xixi was not good at waiting, she couldn't help but ask: "Where do you want to take me?"

Xu Yuanmo turned his head, staring at Chu Xixi with a pair of deep eyes, and said lightly: "Miss Chu, sometimes the destination is not the most important thing. The key is whether you are willing to go with me."

His seemingly half-smiley but full of subtext made Chu Xixi guess. She raised her eyebrows and added strength: "In this case, I think I took this bus in vain. I have to know the destination, otherwise I won't play this game."
