at this time.

Su Luo rolled over and lay flat on her back.

Ellie was so frightened that she crouched down, afraid that he would wake up.

After waiting for a while, they found that Su Luo was sleeping soundly and showed no sign of waking up.

Ellie finally let out a breath and stood up again.

However, they discovered that Su Luo's right cheek was red and swollen, with several clear finger marks on it.

It's safe to say without guessing that Ye Xiaoman was the one who did the ruthless thing.

That's outrageous! How can this woman be just as violent as Song Lingshan?

What exactly does Su Luo like about her?

It's really a good thing we're separated now!

Ellie tiptoed into the living room, took out some ointment for reducing swelling and relieving pain from the medicine box, sat down on the edge of the bed, scooped out a piece of ointment with her fingertip, and gently applied the ointment to Su Luo.

After applying the medicine, Ellie took a deep look at Su Luo before reluctantly leaving the room.

Let's go first. It'll be troublesome if he wakes up and finds himself in the future.

...

early morning.

Su Luo woke up groggily, staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling, and sat up abruptly.

He raised his hand and rubbed his throbbing temples.

How did he get home?

Oh right, Ye Xiaoman kicked him out, and said that if Ellie didn't fire him, he should never come back.

Su Luo sighed, rolled out of bed, and realized that she hadn't even taken off her clothes; she had actually slept in her suit last night.

I picked up my phone and ordered takeout.

Then, feeling listless, I went to the bathroom to wash up. After drying my face, I looked in the mirror and found that the swelling on my face had gone down a lot, and the fingerprints were gone.

He couldn't help but marvel at how good his recovery ability had become. If he remembered correctly, he hadn't applied any medication last night, only taken tranquilizers and painkillers.

A short while later, the takeout arrived, and Su Luo ate a few bites.

Then, I left home.

He hailed a taxi on the street and instead of going back to the company, he went to Guangyu Media, where Ye Xiaoman worked.

Upon arriving at her destination, Su Luo bought a bouquet of champagne roses at a nearby flower shop, carried the flowers to the top floor, and told the receptionist she was looking for Ye Xiaoman.

The receptionist sized up Su Luo and asked warily.

"Excuse me, what is your relationship to Sister Xiaoman?"

"I'm his boyfriend, and this is my business card."

As Su Luo spoke, he took out his business card. The receptionist took the card and saw that it was indeed Ye Xiaoman's rumored boyfriend.

But the rules couldn't be changed, so I politely said, "Okay, please wait a moment."

The receptionist called Ye Xiaoman's agent to explain the situation. The agent happened to be next to Ye Xiaoman and relayed the message to her.

Ye Xiaoman coldly replied, "No time, I won't see you!"

The receptionist awkwardly conveyed Ye Xiaoman's message to Su Luo.

Su Luo didn't make things difficult for the receptionist. She went to the lounge and started calling Ye Xiaoman, but Ye Xiaoman immediately turned off her phone.

Su Luo was in a real bind. Just then, Mia called to ask why Su Luo hadn't come to work. Su Luo made up an excuse, saying that she couldn't make it to work today.

So he made up his mind not to go back until he saw Ye Xiaoman.

They waited until Ye Xiaoman got off work.

Ye Xiaoman, A Xing, and two other teammates came out together and pretended not to see Su Luo.

Su Luo reluctantly went to greet him, handed him the flowers, and said with a smile.

"Xiaoman, I want to have another serious talk with you."

Ye Xiaoman stopped in her tracks, showing no intention of accepting the flowers, and said coldly.

"I have nothing to talk to you about."

He pushed Su Luo aside and headed straight for the elevator.

The three teammates around him followed, looking at each other in bewilderment.

What's going on?

If I remember correctly, this was the first time Su Luo had come to the company to see Ye Xiaoman.

Ye Xiaoman actually refused outright. Is this the prelude to a breakup?

"..."

Rejected, Su Luo didn't follow, but remained frozen in place.

Only after the elevator doors closed did Su Luo come to her senses, looking down at the roses in her hand and giving a self-deprecating smile.

The next second, he casually tossed the roses into the trash can in the stairwell.

I took a deep breath and waited for the next elevator.

With a heavy heart, I left the company, stood by the roadside, and looked up blankly at the sunset.

Does Ye Xiaoman only forgive herself if he fires Ellie?

He can't do it, and he doesn't want to compromise. He can't break his principles for the sake of his lover.

If we compromise this time, there will probably be countless more times in the future.

Life is long, and when two people live together, friction is inevitable. If you compromise for your loved one time and time again without any bottom line, does that mean you will slowly lose yourself?

To become a soulless puppet.

Su Luo shook his head. No, he couldn't become like that.

The phone in my pocket started vibrating.

Su Luo lowered her head, took out her phone, and saw that it was Ye Xiaotian calling. She answered the call and said in a deep voice.

"Xiao Tian?"

"Hmm, what happened last night? Were you in a bad mood? What happened? I have some time now, want to go for a drink?"

Su Luo was feeling incredibly annoyed, so going out for drinks seemed like a good idea, she said with a smile.

"Okay, where should we go for drinks?"

Ye Xiaotian suggested.

"Victoria, how are you?"

This is his newly acquired bar, and business is pretty good.

"Okay, see you in a bit!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Luo hailed a taxi and rushed to the bar.

We arrived at the bar around 7 p.m.

There weren't many guests yet, just a few scattered around, with only a few people on the dance floor.

Ye Xiaotian arrived a little earlier than Su Luo and had already chosen a spot. He saw Su Luo stand up to come and greet him.
