Fan Shengmei watched Meng Yanchen's hurried departure, her heart filled with helplessness and worry. She knew that company affairs were crucial to Meng Yanchen, but their relationship issues also urgently needed resolution. She turned back to the project team and threw herself into her work, trying to temporarily dispel her troubles with busyness. However, unbeknownst to her, a larger emotional turmoil was about to erupt downstairs at the company, and she was about to face yet another difficult choice.

In the days that followed, Fan Shengmei threw herself wholeheartedly into the project. With Su Ran's help and her own hard work, the project gradually got on track. All the data began to improve, and the previously thorny problems were resolved one by one. Watching the project slowly get back on track, Fan Shengmei felt both gratified and somewhat worried. She was gratified that her efforts had paid off, but worried that her relationship with Meng Yanchen remained tense.

Meanwhile, Su Ran had been closely monitoring the project's progress, waiting for the right opportunity. He felt that now that the project was stable, Fan Shengmei should be able to face her feelings more openly, and the time was ripe. Therefore, he decided to confess his feelings to Fan Shengmei downstairs at the Fu Group building.

That morning, sunlight filtered through thin clouds, illuminating the towering building of the Fu Group. Su Ran arrived early at the company building and began meticulous preparations. He had vibrant red roses placed at the entrance, their sweet fragrance filling the air, almost intoxicating. A path paved with petals led from the entrance to a central area where heart-shaped candles were placed. Surrounded by the candles was an exquisite gift box, inside which lay a dazzling ring.

As time went by, more and more employees arrived at work. Seeing the incredibly romantic scene downstairs, everyone gathered around, curiously speculating about who the person was confessing their love to. Whispers filled the crowd: "Who's so generous?" "I wonder which lucky person will receive this surprise."

As usual, Fan Shengmei hurried towards the company in her high heels. When she saw the crowd and the flowers scattered on the ground in the distance, a sense of foreboding washed over her. She quickened her pace and approached, instantly stunned by the scene before her. Su Ran, dressed in a well-tailored white suit, was holding a large bouquet of flowers and smiling at her.

Su Ran's eyes flashed with excitement when he saw Fan Shengmei. He slowly walked towards her, knelt on one knee, and amidst the gasps of the crowd, presented her with flowers and a ring, saying affectionately, "Fan Shengmei, from the first time we met, I was deeply attracted to you. Your beauty, intelligence, and resilience have captivated me. Watching you work tirelessly for the project these past few days has only strengthened my belief that you are the one I've been searching for. I know you've been through a lot, and I'm willing to spend my whole life cherishing you and giving you happiness. Will you marry me?"

Fan Shengmei was completely stunned. Her eyes widened as she stared at Su Ran, her mind blank. The gazes of her colleagues around her were like beams of intense light, focused on her, making her extremely uncomfortable. She could hear her heart pounding violently, as if it were about to burst out of her chest. She never expected Su Ran to confess his feelings to her in such a public setting. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word, her heart filled with shock and bewilderment.

Just then, a black sedan sped up and screeched to a halt a short distance away. The door was quickly pushed open, and Meng Yanchen hurriedly got out. He had been handling important matters in his office when he suddenly received news that someone had confessed their feelings to Fan Shengmei downstairs at the company. His heart tightened, and without thinking twice, he rushed over.

Meng Yanchen pushed through the crowd and saw Su Ran kneeling on one knee and Fan Shengmei looking shocked. A complex mix of emotions welled up inside him. Anger, jealousy, and worry intertwined, like a tangled mess swirling in his heart. His fists clenched unconsciously, his nails digging deep into his palms, leaving crescent-shaped marks.

The air seemed to freeze; everyone sensed the tense atmosphere. The previously noisy crowd gradually quieted down, watching the scene with curiosity, wondering what would happen next. Fan Shengmei looked at Meng Yanchen, a flicker of panic in her eyes. She wanted to explain, but didn't know where to begin. Meng Yanchen's gaze was fixed on Fan Shengmei, as if trying to find answers in her eyes. Su Ran stood up, meeting Meng Yanchen's gaze without fear, her eyes carrying a hint of defiance.

Fan Shengmei stood rooted to the spot, her feet seemingly nailed to the ground. She could feel Meng Yanchen's complex gaze and Su Ran's burning love. At this moment, she felt as if she were in the eye of a storm, torn between two conflicting emotions. She knew she had to respond quickly, but that response was so difficult to utter.

Meng Yanchen's chest heaved violently as he struggled to suppress his inner rage. He stared intently at Su Ran, then shifted his gaze to Fan Shengmei, his eyes filled with pain and accusation. Fan Shengmei felt a sharp pain in her heart. She opened her mouth, wanting to break the suffocating silence, but still couldn't find the right words. The surrounding colleagues held their breath, silently watching this emotional clash, no one daring to utter a sound to break the tense atmosphere.

Those few long seconds felt like an eternity to Fan Shengmei. Her mind was a mess. On one hand, Meng Yanchen's complex and affectionate gaze filled her with heartache; on the other hand, Su Ran's passionate and direct confession left her at a loss. She knew that every word she uttered could change the situation, but she simply couldn't make a decision in that instant.

Meng Yanchen finally couldn't hold back any longer. He took a step forward and asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Fan Shengmei, you..." However, he stopped mid-sentence, as if he couldn't bear to hear Fan Shengmei's answer.

Fan Shengmei looked at Meng Yanchen, tears welling up in her eyes. She was about to speak when Su Ran interrupted her. Su Ran held Fan Shengmei's hand tightly and said, "Shengmei, give me a chance to prove my love for you."

Fan Shengmei looked at Su Ran, then at Meng Yanchen, her lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a word. At this moment, her heart was filled with contradictions and struggles; she didn't know how to face these two men, let alone how to respond to Su Ran's confession.

Seeing Fan Shengmei's hesitant expression, Meng Yanchen felt a pang of pain in his heart. His eyes became even more complex, filled with disappointment, anger, and a hint of pleading. How he wished that Fan Shengmei would immediately reject Su Ran and tell him that she loved him.

Just as the stalemate reached its climax, a gentle breeze blew by, scattering fallen petals that danced in the air, seemingly sighing at the chaotic situation. Fan Shengmei took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She knew she had to make a decision, no matter how difficult it might be.

How will Fan Shengmei respond to Su Ran's confession? And what kind of intense reaction will Meng Yanchen have?
