At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, which was filled with a tense atmosphere, Chu Xixi clenched her hands. The cold metal touch made her heart feel desolate. The wedding ring, which was supposed to be a symbol of love, became a symbol of her sorrow. She took a deep breath, looked directly at Huo Hangfan who was in a daze in front of her, with a smile on her lips, and suddenly threw the ring at his face. The ring drew an arc and hit the target accurately.

"You don't deserve it!" Her voice was cold and utterly detached. She turned and left, leaving Huo Hangfan in shock and bewilderment.

Chu Xixi did not stop, her steps were full of determination. She didn't know where to go next, but she knew that the sky was unusually clear at the moment, as if telling her that she had broken free from the shackles, and the road ahead was unknown, but also exciting.

Just then, a gentle voice came from behind, disturbing her thoughts.

"It seems that you need a little help." The owner of the voice was a well-dressed man in a black suit and a pure white shirt. His expression was indifferent, giving people a feeling that he was not approachable.

Chu Xixi subconsciously took a step back, keeping alert to the man who suddenly appeared, "Thank you, but I don't need help."

"I'm Xu Yuanmo." The man introduced himself calmly, "I know you don't need unnecessary comfort at this moment, but if you are willing, I can give you a chance to start over."

Chu Xixi was stunned. Xu Yuanmo, this name is well-known in the business world. He is the president of CR Group and is known as the Frozen Prince of the business world. Why did he suddenly appear here?

"Start...over?" Chu Xixi's voice was trembling, but her heart was in turmoil.

"A job opportunity. You are talented and I don't want to see your talent buried." Xu Yuanmo looked at Chu Xixi with deep and unfathomable eyes.

Chu Xixi pursed her lips tightly, feeling conflicted. She needed to start over, and a chance to show her talent, but could she trust the man in front of her?

"Think about it," Xu Yuanmo's voice interrupted her thoughts, and he handed Chu Xixi a business card, "When you have made up your mind, call me."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Chu Xixi standing there alone, with the business card in her hand trembling slightly.

At this moment, Chu Xixi's heart was in a mess. She was not sure whether this was really a chance to start over, or if it was just the prelude to a bigger storm.

However, she didn't know that this decision would completely change her destiny.

Chu Xixi's high heels hit the ground crisply in the company corridor. The design draft in her hand was beating with the flame in her heart. She was determined to give a loud slap to those who looked down on her in the upcoming negotiation. She rushed into her office and said to Qin Shiyu with a firm look: "This time, no one can stop me!"

Qin Shiyu winked and said with a smile: "Sister, it's just a big competition, you have to stand up straight!"

There was another knock on the studio door, and Song Yian walked in coolly, saying playfully, "Beauty, there's a party tonight, and you and I are lucky enough to be invited."

Chu Xixi frowned and glared at him, "The party will only feature that gigolo showing off. I won't go."

"No, I heard that the president of CR Group will also show up. Oh, and so will his rumored fiancée." Song Yian raised his eyebrows with an expression that said "you know".

Chu Xixi's heart was moved, and she didn't want to miss any chance to succeed. She took a deep breath, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes, "Okay, let's go and take a look, and by the way, let those self-proclaimed noble people see what kind of iron-willed material I, Chu Xixi, am!"

At the party, jewels and jewels glittered, champagne gently shook the crystal bubbles. In this magnificent world, Chu Xixi wore a simple but destined not to be ignored little black dress. Her arrival was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. Amid the whispers of the crowd, Huo Hangfan held the wine glass and gestured to her, full of provocation.

Zhao Xueer held Huo Hangfan's arm, looking victorious, and her sweet words were like a rose with a hidden blade, "Xixi, I didn't expect you to dare to come. Isn't this where you should be?"

Chu Xixi replied lightly, "Ms. Zhao, are you talking about this place full of superficial ostentation? Oh, you're right, I'm really not used to it."

At this moment, a path was parted in the crowd, and Xu Yuanmo's figure gradually became clear. His appearance seemed to draw out everyone's soul, including Chu Xixi's. He did not notice her immediately, but talked calmly and indifferently with other business partners, not knowing that he was only a few steps away from her.

Song Yian kindly reminded him, "That's Xu Yuanmo. It looks like the show tonight is getting more and more exciting."

Chu Xixi stared at Xu Yuanmo, her eyes seemed to be burning with flames. She was not aware of her clenched fists, nor did she realize that her heart was pounding at that moment.

She walked slowly and confidently towards the mythical figure. Just as she was about to get close, a sudden sense of uneasiness grew in her heart, as if something big was about to happen. At this moment, one of her hands unconsciously touched his back. Xu Yuanmo's body paused slightly, and his deep eyes slowly turned and met Chu Xixi's firm and serious gaze.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze at this moment.

In the CR Group's top floor conference room late at night, the neon lights outside the window shone into the spacious space, making Xu Yuanmo's face look even more stern. The documents in his hands were piled up like a mountain, but his eyes revealed a rare expectation.

"Brother Mo, why are you still not resting so late? Are you looking forward to tomorrow's cooperation?" Song Yian smiled teasingly and picked up a document. "Don't be distracted by a beautiful design drawing."

Xu Yuanmo curled his lips and smiled, "Do you think I am you? I have always been able to distinguish between love and business."

Song Yian chuckled, "I understand, handsome President Xu, but I heard that Chu Xixi is not only an excellent designer, but also breathtakingly beautiful. Many young masters are attracted to her!"

At this moment, Xu Yuanmo's personal cell phone rang. It was a specially marked number. He took a deep breath and pressed the answer button. "Hello, Mo'er, it's me. There is something that may require your immediate attention." Wen Xiuqin's calm but commanding tone came from the other end of the line.

His expression suddenly became stern, "Mom, what happened?"

"It's about that orphanage and a girl named Chu Xixi. I think you should go and see it in person instead of just going through the motions of cooperation." Wen Xiuqin's words were subtle, but they made Xu Yuanmo's heart tremble.

After hanging up the phone, he stood up and looked out the window at the deep night sky, thinking to himself, what kind of entanglement will this girl named Chu Xixi have with CR Group and himself?

As the night deepened, Xu Yuanmo booked the fastest flight the next morning and decided to go to the orphanage in person. He needed to see the designer that his mother had personally named.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Chu Xixi was tossing and turning over the design. She couldn't figure out what kind of person the president of CR Group she would meet tomorrow was. Although she was excited about this cooperation, for some reason, she always had a strange premonition in her heart, as if this meeting would bring about earth-shaking changes in her life.

"Xixi, come on. He's just a rich man. Make it so that he can't get out of face. Let him know that those who come out of our Qingshan Orphanage are not pushovers." Although Qin Shiyu's words were heroic, Chu Xixi knew that all this had just begun.

Seeing her friend's sincere heart, Chu Xixi put down the phone with a faint smile, and lowered her head to study her design plan carefully again. The bright lights of the city not far away illuminated her tough and beautiful face, which seemed to foreshadow the coming storm and rainbow.

Chu Xixi stood at the door of the familiar Civil Affairs Bureau, tightly holding the engagement ring inlaid with sparkling diamonds. In front of her was Huo Hangfan, who had lost his confidence but was still pretending to be persistent, and Zhao Xueer's pure white lotus disguise. The pedestrians around cast curious and even sympathetic eyes at this theatrical scene, but no one could truly understand the despair and anger in her heart.

"What's the matter, Xixi, do you want to cancel this engagement?" Huo Hangfan forced a bitter smile and tried to hold her hand, but the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching.

Chu Xixi withdrew her hand coldly, "Huo Hangfan, do you think I have any reason not to cancel the engagement?"

At this moment, a black luxury car slowly stopped in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. When the door opened, a polite man got out of the car and said, "Mr. Xu asked me to pick you up."

The pedestrians around were in an uproar again, and this time more eyes were cast on the elite man who had just got off the bus, and the name he mentioned - Mr. Xu.

"Who is Mr. Xu?" Huo Hangfan frowned and looked at Zhao Xueer puzzledly. Zhao Xueer also looked confused.

Chu Xixi was also stunned. She turned to look at the man who was invited, and her heartbeat accelerated. "I, I don't know any Mr. Xu."

The man smiled slightly, "Mr. Xu said that you might be interested in a new beginning."

Huo Hangfan frowned and reached out to stop Chu Xixi, "Xixi, you..."

Chu Xixi waved his hand away resolutely and walked towards the luxury car. She knew in her heart that no matter who this so-called Mr. Xu was, it was better than staying there and being cursed. Moreover, the moment she left, she felt a sense of relief.

When she got into the car, the luxury car slowly drove out. She looked through the car window at the shocked faces of Huo Hangfan and Zhao Xueer, and a strange emotion surged in her heart. Just like that, the wedding that had never started, turned into an eternal end.

The route of the luxury car was completely different from what Chu Xixi had expected. It did not go to the bustling area of ​​the city, but drove into a quiet top-level private villa area. The car finally stopped in front of a villa that looked low-key yet impressive.

"We're here. Mr. Xu has been waiting for you for a long time." The man opened the door and said to her gently.

Chu Xixi got out of the car, feeling her heart beating like a drum. She took a deep breath and looked up, and the door of the villa slowly opened. Standing at the door was a tall and handsome man.

Her eyes met his, and at that moment, time seemed to stand still. However, behind this calmness, there were unknown waves hidden.

The man smiled and said, "Welcome, Miss Chu."

Chu Xixi walked into the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, holding tightly in her hand an exquisite wedding ring, which was the engagement gift Huo Hangfan gave her a month ago. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, presenting mottled shadows, as if foreshadowing the coming storm. Chu Xixi was a little nervous, but she still tried to keep herself calm.

"Xixi, do you really want to do this?" Qin Shiyu's voice on the other end of the phone was full of worry.

"Yes, Shi Yu. I have to put an end to this." Chu Xixi said firmly, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

As soon as she stepped into the building, she almost bumped into a figure. Looking up, she caught a glimpse of the pair of deep and cold eyes that belonged to Xu Yuanmo.
