It’s like... a tired person leaning on a warm harbor. Although it’s only a moment of comfort, it’s like the calm after the storm, which makes people feel a little comforted.

Su Yuqing's words were like notes that touched Chu Xixi's heart, and she was slightly stunned. She read a different emotion from Su Yuqing's eyes, a hidden desire for home.

Chu Xixi remembered that when she adopted Su Yuqing, she once said, "Since you call me sister, then I will give you a grand wedding, okay?"

The fluctuation that flashed across Su Yuqing's eyes at that time is still unforgettable to her.

However, when I wanted to ask again, Su Yuqing seemed to have never cared and became distant and calm again.

After waiting, Su Yuqing's answer was just one sentence: "Don't worry about me, I will take care of my own affairs."

Then she put the incident behind her.

Of course, she didn't know that the way Su Yuqing dealt with it was to lock herself up and practice boxing and jiu-jitsu over and over again late at night, as if she wanted to release the rage in her heart through violence and sweat.

Forcing someone to have sex sounds impossible, but after Su Yuqing tried it, she felt it was the most feasible method.

Now, hearing that Su Yuqing seemed to be reluctant to leave, Chu Xixi couldn't help but feel guilty once again.

"Su Yuqing, you are always like this..."

Before Chu Xixi finished speaking, Su Yuqing waved her hand and returned to her usual self.

"Who is Su Yuqing in front of you?"

"Which side is the real you?"

She smiled and didn't answer, but just said, "That person is back."

Chu Xixi was stunned and fell into endless speculation.

All the possibilities played out in her mind, names, faces, and unresolved questions that had been deliberately forgotten came to mind one by one.

"Chu Xixi, guess what?" Su Yuqing kept smiling.

Chu Xixi was silent for a moment, then looked up and met Su Yuqing's gaze.

"If she comes back for you, are you willing to let go of the past and start over?" Chu Xixi asked tentatively.

Su Yuqing chuckled, "Why don't you just say you want to meet her?"

Chu Xixi stood at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, looking at Huo Hangfan coldly. He looked panicked and tried to explain something, but she no longer had any patience. She raised her hand and swung it, and the wedding ring in her hand drew an arc and fell heavily to the ground.

"Chu Xixi, please listen to my explanation. I didn't mean it..." Huo Hangfan argued incoherently, and the expression on his face changed from horror to pleading.

"What do you want to explain? About you and Zhao Xue'er being together?" Chu Xixi sneered, a flash of pain in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by cold toughness. "From today on, we no longer have any relationship."

After saying that, she turned around and left without looking at Huo Hangfan again. The pedestrians at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau pointed at this scene, but Chu Xixi had no time to care about it. She only felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Just as she was about to walk out of the door, a tall and slender figure suddenly blocked her way. Xu Yuanmo stood there, his eyes deep, as if he could see through her and see the pain deep in her heart.

"Miss Chu, you seem to need a helper." He smiled slightly, his tone gentle but firm enough to not be refused.

Chu Xixi was stunned for a moment, not understanding why this strange man suddenly appeared here. But she saw a familiar feeling in his eyes, a sense of security that she could not resist.

"Who are you?" she asked warily.

"Xu Yuanmo, president of CR Group." He said it lightly, but at that moment, countless rumors flashed through Chu Xixi's mind. This man was well-known in the business world, but she didn't expect to meet him in such an occasion.

"Why are you here?" she was even more confused.

Xu Yuanmo looked around, seemingly unwilling to explain further in front of everyone. "Can we talk? I have something I want to discuss with you."

Chu Xixi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. She followed Xu Yuanmo to a nearby coffee shop, and the two found a secluded corner and sat down.

"You know Huo Hangfan betrayed you," Xu Yuanmo said straight to the point, "I can help you, but you need to agree to one condition of mine."

"What conditions?" Chu Xixi frowned.

"Marry me." Xu Yuanmo's voice was soft, but it carried unquestionable determination.

Chu Xixi's eyes widened. She had never expected him to make such a request. She looked directly at Xu Yuanmo, trying to find a trace of joking in his calm face, but he was obviously serious.

"Why me?" she couldn't help but ask.

Xu Yuanmo smiled slightly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, "Because I believe that you deserve to be cherished by a better person."

At this moment, Chu Xixi's heart seemed to be struck by something. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt that perhaps this was really the path she should take.

"Okay," she took a deep breath and nodded, "I promise you."

"Like..." Su Yuqing's voice suddenly stopped, with a playful smile on her face, "Like... the bitterness of life that you are experiencing now."

Chu Xixi was stunned, and an inexplicable depression surged in her heart. Indeed, Xu Yuanmo's departure left her like this piece of rose candy, sweet with a hint of sourness. This feeling is like the collision of happiness and pain, bizarre and unsettling.

"You have to work hard, Xixi. We all support you." Su Yuqing's words interrupted Chu Xixi's thoughts. She gently patted the heroine's hand. Although her tone was relaxed, it revealed deep concern.

"Don't worry, I will." Chu Xixi pursed her lips and tried her best to pretend that she didn't care. "Even if Yuan Mo is not here, I can still face everything."

Su Yuqing smiled and said nothing more, but her eyes revealed a complex emotion, as if she was helpless and worried. Maybe she had too many thoughts, so she saw these complex expressions. However, this is a necessary skill for socializing. After working in the industry for a long time, it is normal to have some secrets on your face, and digging out and guessing these secrets is also the pleasure of pursuing.

The silence spread, and the cold office seemed even colder.

"It seems you have noticed..." A deep male voice came from the door. Chu Xixi and Su Yuqing looked up at the same time, only to see a figure slowly approaching.

Shirt and trousers, he looks like an elite. Song Yian, Xu Yuanmo's good friend, is a second-generation rich man like Yuanmo, and his family's business is also one of the best in the country.

"I mean, the upcoming reorganization of the Xu Group." His voice was gentle but concealed endless power. "This will be an opportunity as well as a challenge. The future of Chu Studio is in your hands. You must seize it well."

Chu Xixi trembled slightly, as if a huge electric current was swirling in her body. This was not only a pressure, but also a worry, and even more of a challenge.

She didn't know what the future would be like, but what she knew was that she couldn't collapse or retreat, because there were many people here who needed her and needed her to find an outlet and a future for them.

She slowly stood up, facing Song Yian, and sneered. "Then when Xu Yuanmo comes back, we will give him a..." Chu Xixi's voice gradually became firm, "A surprise!"

It's like... biting into a red rose.

"Haha, stop it." Chu Xixi laughed and didn't take it seriously.

"Oh, you are so unromantic! Can't you see that people are praising you?" Su Yuqing rolled her eyes at her and spoke in a coquettish tone.

"Yeah." Chu Xixi nodded and sighed, "He's going back to his country. I may not see him in the short term."

"Is this the man you just mentioned?" Su Yuqing frowned slightly, "I feel like he's a very reliable person, you can rest assured."

"I hope so." Chu Xixi smiled, but she felt mixed emotions.

Not long after Su Yuqing left, she received another piece of news. Shao Yuwei suddenly entrusted the management of the studio, saying that her family was rich and had the ability to support Chu Xixi's design studio to go further.

Good guy, he works so hard even though he has money? Chu Xixi gave him a thumbs up.

She didn't bother to care about other people's wealth, she just wondered why Shao Yuwei suddenly became the boss.

This studio was originally one of the investors, and she was not under pressure, but Shao Yuwei's frequent expressions of support in recent days made her feel mixed emotions that she had never experienced before.

Could it be because she was selling it in a bundle abroad and it was directly transferred to her? Chu Xixi thought so.

But in the end, she agreed to Shao Yuwei's request. She wanted to see what Shao Yuwei was going to do and whether she could create some different sparks.

In this way, Chu Xixi began her journey to find out her origins. She always remembered the words of the dean, the secret that she was reluctant to mention but which made her fall into the quagmire.

Her eyes became more determined. No matter what the road ahead held, she would find her answer.

She only knew that only by knowing the past could she face the future bravely.

As soon as she finished speaking, she smiled bitterly and sighed.

"Like what?" Chu Xixi asked.

She blinked suddenly, with a smile on her face, as if she was about to say something unexpected, "Like..."

“It’s like—”

"What is it?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was suppressing an indescribable emotion.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." She sighed, "I hope your love can stand the test of time."

Her tone seemed to carry a hint of a wry smile, which made Chu Xixi stunned.

“You are…”

She smiled slightly, "Nothing, just a butterfly observing you."

"Butterfly?" Chu Xixi thought her metaphor was a bit strange.

She nodded, then turned and left the studio's foyer.

Looking at her back in the sunset, I always felt that there was something unusual.

"Oh..." She sighed softly and walked into the studio.

The wind blew gently outside the window, bringing a cool breeze.

When she returned home that night, Chu Xixi found an urgent telegram from the Chu family asking her to return home as soon as possible. This time the situation seemed urgent, so she could only put aside the studio's affairs temporarily and pack her luggage to prepare for departure.

However, at the moment she set out on her return journey, she found herself vaguely looking forward to welcoming the girl to the studio again. She wanted to know who she was and what her purpose was.

And what about Su Yuqing? What will the future hold for both of them?

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly in a wry smile. Perhaps life needs such adventures and challenges.

The afterglow of dusk fell on her, as if giving her a warm hug on her journey. Chu Xixi embarked on her journey home, feeling both nervous and expectant. What unknown challenges will she face this time?

"Like..." Su Yuqing suddenly stopped, with a playful smile on her lips. "Like the sweetness of love."

Chu Xixi was slightly startled. She didn’t expect the stubborn Su Yuqing to answer like this.

The dim light outside the door seemed unusually dazzling under the raindrops, like stars in the dark night, illuminating them.

At this moment, a feeling that seemed destined came to her heart, causing Chu Xixi's eyes to turn slightly red.
