"No! Xixi, don't do this! I love you, I only love you!" Huo Hangfan tried desperately to grab Chu Xixi's hand, but failed in vain.

Chu Xixi gently shook off his hand, as if she was getting rid of a heavy yoke. She turned to Xu Yuanmo, with a little hesitation in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by determination. "I... I do." Although her voice was weak, it was like a magic needle that stabilized the chaotic situation and instantly stopped.

There was an uproar at the scene. Everyone looked at Chu Xixi with disbelief, then at Huo Hangfan. Whispers rose like a tide. Huo Hangfan seemed to be frozen in place. His face turned pale and blue, and Chu Xixi's words kept echoing in his mind.

At this time, the police officers who came to watch also stopped. They witnessed this absurd farce, but could only shake their heads helplessly. "Forget about the young people's affairs." The leading police officer sighed, turned around and left, leaving behind a mess of emotions and fragmented facts.

Just like that, under everyone's gaze, Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo walked into the reception room of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The sunlight outside the window shone on them, lengthening their figures, making this moment particularly dramatic and mysterious. It was as if a plot was destined to happen, and just like that, a new page was clearly opened in the sunlight.

Not far away, an endless stream of police cars roared over, the sound of brakes and shrill sirens piercing the tranquility in the air. Chu Xixi's heart trembled violently. Huo Hangfan's face turned as pale as paper.

Chu Xixi finally realized that all this was not accidental, but a conspiracy. The victim was her.

Chu Xixi cursed in her heart and threw the ring in her hand at Huo Hangfan. The sharp edge of the ring scratched Huo Hangfan's cheek, leaving a bright red mark. But Huo Hangfan did not get angry as usual, but became a little dazed.

Surrounded by police cars, Xu Yuanmo showed no emotion. He just said to Chu Xixi, "Don't hesitate, leave the rest to me."

However, Huo Hangfan would not be dismissed so easily. He chased after Chu Xixi and lied, "Xixi, I love you, I have never betrayed you, I once told you, I swore to treat you well for the rest of my life, I..."

Huo Hangfan's voice was hoarse, and he kept repeating the same sentence helplessly. However, this did him no good, as he was a traitor, and no one was willing to listen to his explanation.

Xu Yuanmo turned his head and gave him a meaningful look, his eyes full of indifference and approval, and then said to Chu Xixi: "Miss Chu, you may have legal problems because of this wrong emotional dispute. Please accept my commission and help me fight a lawsuit, and let the law give you and me justice."

Xu Yuanmo took out a power of attorney and a long-prepared contract and official seal. Chu Xixi took the paper, looked at the densely packed legal clauses on it, then looked up at the pair of calm phoenix eyes and nodded.

"Okay, I promise."

Chu Xixi stood in a fine coffee shop, with the bustling streets outside the window, but her mood was like the fallen leaves in autumn, with nowhere to rest. Today, she should have been the focus of happiness, but she became the topic of conversation after dinner. She stroked the mint green bracelet on her wrist, which was the engagement gift from Huo Hangfan, and also the token she was about to take off and never wear again.

"What? Are you going to throw it into the trash can?" Qin Shiyu asked jokingly while sipping his latte.

Chu Xixi raised her head, looked at the sky outside the window, and sighed softly: "Shi Yu, how can the human heart be so fragile and hard at the same time?"

Qin Shiyu put down the coffee cup and said seriously: "Xixi, you are too naive. In this world, there are always people who do evil in sheep's clothing. But don't forget us. We are a family, right?"

At this moment, a bell rang at the door, and an extraordinary man stepped into the cafe. Their eyes met briefly, and Chu Xixi suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. He was the president of CR Group, Xu Yuanmo.

Xu Yuanmo glanced at everyone in the cafe, and finally his eyes were fixed on Chu Xixi. He walked over gracefully and smiled slightly: "Miss Chu, it's a pleasure to meet you by chance."

Chu Xixi frowned, not understanding why this big boss would approach her. "It's just a coincidence, Mr. Xu."

Xu Yuanmo pulled out a chair and sat down. His demeanor revealed a natural aristocratic temperament. He looked at Chu Xixi and said slowly, "I heard that you are a little unhappy these days?"

Chu Xixi's heart tightened, and the scene of Huo Hangfan and that woman flashed through her mind. Her voice trembled slightly: "You know enough."

Xu Yuanmo smiled slightly, as if to comfort her: "In this city, there is nothing that I cannot hear. However, I think, maybe I can help you solve your problems."

Chu Xixi's eyes flashed with surprise, but also with a bit of distrust. She replied coldly: "I don't need it."

Xu Yuanmo did not respond immediately, but just gently shook the pure black coffee cup in his hand. Outside, a car drove by silently, leaving behind a string of tiny drops of water, like a beautiful melody.

Qin Shiyu looked at the subtle atmosphere between the two and deliberately broke the silence: "What a coincidence, Mr. Xu is also your savior, right? Who knew that the changes in this city would lead you and me to meet in this small cafe."

Chu Xixi wanted to say something, but stopped talking. She suddenly felt an inexplicable expectation, and it seemed that all this was just the beginning...

"Okay, thank you." Chu Xixi gave a wry smile and accepted Xu Yuanmo's help.

Xu Yuanmo nodded slightly, then turned to Huo Hangfan with a serious look: "Nephew, I hope that what happened today will not happen again. I don't want to see anyone hurt Miss Chu." A trace of confusion flashed across Huo Hangfan's face, but he couldn't refute it.

The police car stopped by the roadside. Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo turned around and saw two policemen getting out of the car and walking towards them. Chu Xixi's heartbeat accelerated. She didn't want to be disturbed in such a situation.

"Miss Chu, someone called the police to report a fight here. Let's take a look." The police walked towards Chu Xixi and Huo Hangfan, and their eyes stayed there for a few seconds. "However, it seems that the situation is different from what the caller described."

Chu Xixi frowned and silently clenched her fists. She really wanted to know who was behind this, calling the police to report that she and Huo Hangfan had a fight. Was it Zhao Xueer, or was there some other purpose?

"That might be a misunderstanding. We were just having some discussions." Chu Xixi answered the police calmly, with a hint of professional calmness in her tone.

The police looked at each other, nodded, and then said they were leaving to deal with other matters. Before leaving, one of the police told Chu Xixi and the others that if they had any questions, they could contact the police at any time.

Watching the police leave, Chu Xixi felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. This feeling was not just about feeling sick about what happened today, but more about being confused and worried about the future. She knew that as the wedding day approached, she would have to face more challenges and uncertainties.

"Miss Chu, let's go home." Xu Yuanmo's voice was gentle and firm, like a warm current, trying to melt the ice in Chu Xixi's heart.

Looking into his sincere eyes, Chu Xixi nodded. At least in this difficult moment, the only person she could rely on was Xu Yuanmo. Her story with Huo Hangfan seemed to have come to an imperfect end at this moment, and a new chapter between her and Xu Yuanmo was also slowly beginning.

Xu Yuanmo realized Chu Xixi's hesitation and struck while the iron was hot:

"I know you like this ring very much. If you are willing, I will give it to you after the engagement ceremony. You don't have to answer in a hurry. Think about it first."

Chu Xixi felt relieved after hearing this, but she looked at Xu Yuanmo and became hesitant.

Facing this sudden proposal, Chu Xixi's emotions fluctuated like a roller coaster. Intellectually, she knew she shouldn't agree, but emotionally, she found that she didn't want to refuse. It's not too late to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost. Perhaps, this is another choice that fate has given her.

The engagement ceremony was still going on, but Chu Xixi's mood was completely different. She was thinking in a corner where no one was paying attention. Looking at the ring in her hand that represented love, she seemed to see the complete collapse of her emotional life over the years.

Just when Chu Xixi was struggling with her conscience, a warm hand held hers, and Xu Yuanmo's eyes were firm: "Have you thought about it? Do you want to consider me?"

The museum's luxurious chandelier cast a shadow on Xu Yuanmo's angular face. The fine hairs on his skin seemed to tell the ups and downs of his emotions. Chu Xixi was stunned. She looked at the man in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel an indescribable throbbing in her heart.

"Okay, I promise you." Chu Xixi closed her eyes and nodded in agreement.

Huo Hangfan watched all this in disbelief. He opened his mouth wide but couldn't say anything.

Such a dramatic turn stunned everyone. The engagement ceremony unexpectedly turned into a proposal ceremony. What was even more dramatic was that the bride turned around and threw herself into the arms of another man.

Huo Hangfan's mind was in a mess. He could never have imagined that things would turn out like this. Chu Xixi and the president of CR Group, how outrageous!

Chu Xixi pulled Huo Hangfan and walked out of the museum. This self-willed performance art seemed to shock everyone. She stopped looking at Huo Hangfan. She was not in the mood. She was even so empty that she no longer cared about the relationship between Huo Hangxiang and Shao Yuwei. Now all her thoughts were on the mysterious Xu Yuanmo. For the first time, she was glad that Huo Hangxiang and this man she had only seen for a short while were just cousins!

At the annual designer event held in Jincheng's most luxurious hotel, the entire hall was dazzling, decorated with crystal chandeliers and golden wallpaper, and guests in evening gowns chatted to the sound of elegant symphony.

Chu Xixi was wearing a simple yet gorgeous black evening dress, with a sparkling diamond necklace around her neck, which she had prepared specially for tonight. She scanned the crowd, looking for possible partners, while also being wary of possible competitors. This industry, to be frank, is a life-and-death battlefield.

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a familiar figure. Wasn't that Huo Hangfan? Her ex-boyfriend and current competitor. A complex emotion flashed in Chu Xixi's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference. Huo Hangfan didn't notice her because he was talking to a group of powerful-looking clients.

Just as Chu Xixi was about to turn around and leave, an unexpected voice broke her plan.

"Xixi, you are so radiant tonight!" Cheng Yaoyao, she always seems to appear at the most inappropriate time.

Chu Xixi turned around and faced Cheng Yaoyao's provocation, and a competitive flame rose in her heart. "Miss Cheng, you are too kind. We all come here to work. It's not a question of honor or dishonor."

Cheng Yaoyao raised her eyes, obviously not expecting Chu Xixi to be so calm. She chuckled, "Oh, you are really good at pretending, I heard..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a deep and powerful voice. "Miss Cheng, sorry to bother you." Xu Yuanmo suddenly appeared between the two of them, and his appearance immediately attracted the attention of the people around them.

Cheng Yaoyao was obviously a little flustered. After a few pleasantries, she quickly found an excuse to leave. Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo stood face to face. This was their first time to be in such close contact.

"President Xu, you always seem to appear when I need you." Chu Xixi smiled slightly, trying to hide the hesitation in her heart.
