She complained to Gu Yuan, "If only we could open the window, I'd love to yell at the whole of London."

Gu Yuan's reply instantly extinguished her enthusiasm: "We can't open the window precisely to stop someone as reckless as you."

Fu Hange leaned against the window, observing the entire layout. From this vantage point, she could clearly see the entire city of London. Looking up at the night sky, it was vast and boundless. She couldn't find a place more captivating than this.

Fu Hange was so happy that she forgot herself and ran over to sit next to Gu Yuan, saying softly, "Thank you."

She genuinely wanted to thank him. Although she knew it was to create a facade of business for the secretary, he had sat with her, and even if it wasn't his intention, she was content. If she could, she really wanted to come to this place every year.

Gazing at Gu Yuan's profile, lost in endless reverie, she thought, "Today is the 30th of the month, and New Year's Eve is just around the corner. I really want to spend New Year's Eve with Gu Yuan, but it's all impossible. He's so high and mighty, while I'm as insignificant as dust. How can I ever catch up with him?"

What a beautiful night sky!

How beautiful London is!

How beautiful the snow is!

How beautiful you are.

At this moment, she truly wished to stay by his side, hand in hand, and never again concern herself with business matters. He would no longer see her as his mortal enemy, and she would no longer care about everything he had done to her in the past. Time would stand still at this moment, and they would both become eternal.

But in the end, it was just a dream.

This must be the most beautiful gift Fu Hange has ever received: the man she loves most by her side, snow falling outside the window, and the night sky overhead. Although her lover's heart is not with her, at least she has been given a chance to be alone with Gu Yuan, and there are no more arguments between them; everything else has been put aside.

In her joy, Fu Hange touched her lower abdomen again, secretly making plans in her mind.

As the saying goes, fireworks are gone in the blink of an eye, and the same is true for riding a Ferris wheel. In just half an hour, the Ferris wheel stops on the ground, and that's how the ride ends.

Gu Yuan's face softened again. If it hadn't been agreed beforehand that they were just friends, Fu Hange would have really thought that Gu Yuan had become her boyfriend.

Fu Hange whispered in Gu Yuan's ear, "Where to next?"

"go back."

Is that all? A hint of disappointment was evident in her eyes, though Gu Yuan didn't notice. She and Gu Yuan hadn't even been out for an hour, and now they had to go back; she was still somewhat reluctant to leave this place.

As Gu Yuan led Fu Hange away quickly, she couldn't help but glance back at the Ferris wheel. Everything that had just happened on it seemed as fleeting as a dream. Although Gu Yuan hadn't actually done anything with her on it—it was just an act for his secretary—those short few tens of minutes might truly become the most beautiful memory of her life.

Thinking of the child, her eyes seemed to harden her resolve. She gripped Gu Yuan's hand tightly, causing Gu Yuan to turn his head and glance at her before turning back, his smile unchanged, and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

Fu Hange clearly noticed that her secretary was standing right next to the riverbank, watching their every move. Fu Hange took the opportunity to stop, and Gu Yuan was forced to stop as well. She tiptoed and turned her face to give Gu Yuan a sweet kiss on the cheek.

Gu Yuan was clearly stunned, completely unprepared for her move. Fu Hange remained calm, but inwardly she was overjoyed. She had used this opportunity to legitimately kiss Gu Yuan—a perfect opportunity! If Gu Yuan asked her what she was doing, she could easily say it was all an act, a deliberate performance for her secretary.
