"Boss? Boss?" The assistant stood up straight, anxiety tightening his fra as Qin Nanyu remained silent. He had already rehearsed his apology in his mind, ready to admit his mistakes.
Before he could speak, Qin Nanyu had instructed him to leave the contract behind and to return to wait for news.
Once the assistant had left, only Qin Nanyu remained in the study.
He stared at the contract lying before him, and all the recent events flashed before his eyes.
Other mories began to blur, only Ji Weitian’s image becoming clearer and clearer in his mind...
He rembered every frown and every smile, every pout and every anger of hers.

She had no qualms about her image when eating, and even a cup of hot soy milk could make her eyes crinkle in happiness.
When she couldn’t out-argue him, she liked to glare at him, puffing up her cheeks like a groundhog when she felt wronged.
She liked his son, Qin Morui, but not him, always teaming up with him to annoy Qin Nanyu.
She often called out "bro" carelessly; now, he feels an urge to cover her mouth whenever he hears the word.
And then...
She would blush in front of him.
Qin Nanyu slowly closed his eyes, and everything before him ca into sharp focus.
Including the person who had unwittingly walked into his heart.
She was like an unplanned surprise in his life’s schedule.
So sudden, so real.
Logic told him to fix all the bugs like a perfect program.
Experience told him all won are born liars!
Qin Nanyu shoved the contract into a drawer, stood up from his desk, but found himself unconsciously walking downstairs.
He stood staring at the guest room’s door for nearly a minute, as if he could see the person inside through the door...
Realizing what he was doing, Qin Nanyu frowned, then turned to leave.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded from the living room.
They seed to co from the direction of the dining room.
He paused his steps and looked up to see the dining room light was still on.
Just as he was about to go and check, the owner of the footsteps had already approached him, retreating two steps in shock upon seeing him standing at the corner of the stairs.
"Qin, Qin Nanyu?" Ji Weitian held up her phone as if it were a weapon, staring up at him dumbfounded.
"Why are you standing here scaring people!"
"..." Qin Nanyu didn’t answer but simply looked at her, his gaze inquiring why she was there again.
It was then Ji Weitian rembered she had initially intended to call him upstairs.
"You’ve just finished with work, and the butler said you didn’t eat dinner. I thought about it and felt it wasn’t right, so I reheated the leftovers from earlier."
Ji Weitian said as she pulled Qin Nanyu downstairs.
Like dragging a sulky child, she dragged him straight to the dining room.
Pointing at the dish she had struggled to reheat in the microwave for him.
The reheated dish had lost so of its color, fragrance, and taste.
"My abilities are limited, this is the best I can do. Eat it or leave it; if you want to stay angry, then go hungry."
Ji Weitian said, her words lacking confidence as she playfully pressed her tongue against her cheek, finishing her speech all in one breath.
She didn’t know what nerve she had struck within herself; she thought he deserved to starve for being so petty.
Yet, when she heard the butler carrying soup downstairs, saying he hadn’t taken a single sip, she found she couldn’t sleep.
Restlessly lying there, she eventually couldn’t resist getting up, running to the kitchen to find sothing for him to eat.
"You specifically reheated the food for ?"
The coldness in Qin Nanyu’s eyes began to lt away gradually, as if eting the sumr sun.
His dark eyes fixed firmly on Ji Weitian standing before him, the look in his eyes deep.
"Mmm, it might not be as tasty as before, but it’s surely better than cold food..." Before Ji Weitian could finish, Qin Nanyu suddenly lowered his head and sealed her lips with his!
