The room includes a study, dining room, living room, master bedroom, guest bedroom, walk-in closet, kitchen, two bathrooms, and two large balconies. It features orange-red wooden floors, three-tiered high-end curtains, brown leather sofas, white oak solid wood furniture, a top-of-the-line German washing machine, and a high-end television and refrigerator. The study has tall bookshelves crammed with various books, and a piano in one corner.

Ye Wenyu looked at it with a smile, and as she looked and smiled, she felt like she was in a dream. She had never lived in such a comfortable and high-end house before.

After looking around, Ye Wenyu found that the apartment had a very good layout, facing south, and was on the 29th floor, with the 30th floor being the highest floor. Even though she had never bought a house before, Ye Wenyu had heard her mother say before, "When you buy a house in the future, you must not buy one on the top floor, because if the building's waterproofing layer is not done well, it will rain in the house every day." So the 29th floor was simply the ideal floor.

Ye Wenyu brewed herself a cup of tea, West Lake Longjing tea with white chrysanthemums, the aroma was enticing and refreshing, and then she sat on the large balcony adjacent to the living room.

At this moment, the night was deep. In addition to two balcony chairs, there were many flowers and plants on the balcony. Because the balcony was large enough and there were so many flowers and plants, it looked like a garden from a distance. The balcony chairs were in the middle of the flowers. Ye Wenyu chose a balcony chair and sat down. She put the black tea on the coffee table next to her. Facing her was the night view of S City outside the high sky.

A gentle evening breeze blew, and looking down from above, the houses looked as small as matchboxes, the cars like fireflies carrying tiny lanterns, and the neon lights, when grouped together, resembled an inverted Milky Way. The night was incredibly beautiful.

With lush flowers and plants, sitting among them feels both warm and lively yet tranquil. The sheer number and variety of flowers and plants create a sense of liveliness, while their inanimate nature provides a sense of peace.

In summer, when sitting in a place with lots of flowers and plants, the biggest worry is mosquitoes. I'm afraid I'll get bitten several times in just a few minutes. But now, this is the 29th floor, where mosquitoes can't fly that high.

So it's very pleasant.

Ye Wenyu slowly sipped her tea, thinking to herself that although this was only her second night staying here, she had already fallen in love with this home very quickly!

On this beautiful terrace alone, she could happily while away several hours with a cup of tea and a book in hand.

I'm so happy, so happy.

It was late at night, and Ye Wenyu had changed the water for her tea several times, but Lin Tingfeng still hadn't returned. So she went to the study to read and do her homework. It wasn't until 11 p.m. that she heard the door open. She immediately put down her book and ran out of the study, where she saw Lin Tingfeng standing in the entryway, looking very tired.

The restaurant's egg-yolk yellow lights poured down like water, and she kept the lights on while waiting for him.

He was first struck by the sight of the three dishes and soup laid out on the table. He paused for a moment, then was deeply moved. He looked at her silently, his eyes filled with increasing smiles.

Ye Wenyu didn't say anything, but since he broke his promise on their very first day living together, she felt very wronged. She thought painfully that if things continued like this, she would forever be a woman waiting, waiting for him to come back, waiting for his favor, waiting in the living room of this house, becoming a lamp in the process.

Lin Tingfeng broke the silence and asked her, "Did you do this?"

Ye Wenyu nodded.

Honestly, I don't believe her. Do you think she just ordered takeout?

Lin Tingfeng walked to her side, lowered his head, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, a group of very important clients came today, and I was just too busy to get away."

Ye Wenyu remained silent, but because of his apology, she was no longer so angry.

Lin Tingfeng looked at the dishes on the table and found that they hadn't been touched. He couldn't help but ask with concern, "Silly girl, I'm not coming back. You can eat first if you're hungry. Come on, let's eat together." He took her hand and led her to the table. Since the dishes had long since gone cold, he went to heat them up himself before bringing them out.

Ye Wenyu was indeed hungry, so hungry that her stomach was growling loudly. She started to eat, but Lin Tingfeng just watched her without touching his chopsticks.

After she finished a bowl of rice, she noticed he hadn't eaten and asked, "Why aren't you eating? Do you think my cooking isn't good? But it's clearly delicious!"

Lin Tingfeng slowly said, "I've already eaten out with clients."

Ye Wenyu was taken aback, thinking that he had clearly eaten, yet he said he wanted to eat with her, and that he had gone to the kitchen to reheat the dishes himself.

All he did was to get her to eat.

Once she understood this, she immediately forgave him.

She smiled at him, a faint blush rising on her small face, and said sweetly, "But this is the first time I've cooked for you. It would be disrespectful if you didn't eat it."

Lin Tingfeng laughed, picked up his chopsticks, tasted each dish, nodded and said, "Hmm, they all taste good. I didn't expect you to be such a good cook. I'm so lucky."

Ye Wenyu scoffed skeptically and said sarcastically, "A big boss like you must have countless important clients and be out socializing every day." Then she regretted it; she seemed to have placed too much expectation on him. She sounded like a complaining woman, but she didn't seem to have the right to complain.

Lin Tingfeng sighed softly, leaned back in his dining chair, and said slowly and wearily, "Actually, I don't like socializing at all, which is why I have a small appetite."

Ye Wenyu was taken aback, recalling the second time they met, when she was mistaken for a hostess and he rescued her from the main table. On that occasion, when the two of them were eating at the same table, he did seem very unhappy and ate very little.

He always seemed unhappy, taciturn, depressed and melancholy. It was really strange that he was still unhappy despite having supreme power and wealth beyond measure.

If she had even one ten-thousandth of his wealth, she would be laughing in her sleep every day. For example, right now, she loves this house so much that she'll definitely be too happy to sleep tonight.

Therefore, Ye Wenyu glanced at Lin Tingfeng thoughtfully and said softly to him, "Then you don't need to socialize anymore. I'll cook for you every day."

A warm feeling washed over Lin Tingfeng. He smiled and said gently, "Alright, I'll try my best not to socialize, but sometimes, you can't refuse. When you're in the world, you're not in control of your own destiny."

Ye Wenyu was speechless. For some reason, from their first meeting to their present relationship, she always felt that he seemed a little unhappy.

She seemed to only see a smile on his icy face when he was facing her, and his gaze towards her was warm.
