Five years later.
Chu Yunxing stood by the window, quietly watching the bustling traffic below.
Assistant Lu stood behind him, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
"explain."
Chu Yunxing's voice was a few degrees colder than it had been five years ago. He slowly turned around, his handsome face filled with the marks of time.
"Miss Song just came by, insisting on seeing you."
"How long has she been by my side?" Chu Yunxing asked thoughtfully, then sneered.
“One year.” Assistant Lu remembered very clearly that since this Miss Song came to the boss’s side, he had hardly had a single good day.
"After all this time, I still don't know what to do. Give her some money, and she doesn't need to come back." Chu Yunxing returned to his computer, focusing intently on his work, and stopped paying attention to her.
Assistant Lu sighed and walked out the door.
I could vaguely hear some noise outside, but it was gone in an instant, and soon the place returned to its original quiet state.
Assistant Lu stared at the closed office door, his face full of helplessness: "When do you think Master Yun will finally be truly happy?"
Shen Que shook his head: "Yun Ye's thoughts are beyond our comprehension. Over the years, one woman after another has appeared in Yun Ye's life. Don't you find that strange?"
"What's so strange about it? It's been so long since Madam passed away, it's normal for Master Yun to shift his attention." Assistant Lu shook his head dismissively, but then immediately chimed in with gossip, "Miss Song is the woman who has been by Master Yun's side the longest among all these women. Although she is usually arrogant and domineering, Master Yun can usually turn a blind eye to it, but this time she has made things so serious."
“She crossed Master Yun’s bottom line, so naturally he cannot tolerate it.” Shen Que, on the contrary, did not think so.
Miss Song became increasingly arrogant, to the point that she smashed the photos of Chu Yunxing and Song Mai.
The two of them already had very few photos together, and the shattered photo dealt a heavy blow to Chu Yunxing's heart.
On his way home, Chu Yunxing watched the scenery recede into the distance, his mind filled with Song Mai's voice and smile.
He sighed wearily, unsure how to adjust his mindset.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. I thought time could erase everything.
But as time went by, he realized more and more that he couldn't live without Song Mai.
With a sharp screech of brakes, Chu Yunxing was momentarily stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Lu's assistant's hurried voice could be heard: "Master Yun, I think I bumped into a child."
child?
Chu Yunxing pushed open the car door and strode to the front of the car, where he saw a girl staring at the car in a panic.
Her large, watery eyes stared at Chu Yunxing, and apart from a hint of panic, there was no fear in them.
This appearance made Chu Yunxing frown subconsciously. It was quite rare for a beautiful girl to bear a resemblance to Song Mai.
"Are you alright?" Assistant Lu anxiously looked the girl up and down, fearing something might have happened.
The girl shook her head and continued to stare blankly at Chu Yunxing: "Uncle, you look so familiar."
Her childish words amused Chu Yunxing, who patted her head and gently helped her up: "Why are you crossing the street alone?"
“My mom said she had something to do and asked me to wait for her. But I was worried that she might get hurt, so I wanted to come and check on her.”
The girl tilted her head back, making no attempt to hide the curiosity in her eyes.
Chu Yunxing sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, "How can Mom let you go out alone?"
"Mom is too busy," the girl said cautiously. "If Mom finds out I'm crossing the street by myself, she'll definitely be angry. I hope the two uncles won't tell Mom about this, or An'an will get a beating."
"Your name is An'an?" Chu Yunxing looked at the child's face with a gentle smile.
An'an nodded: "What's your name?"
"My name is Chu Yunxing." Chu Yunxing made no attempt to conceal his identity; he couldn't bring himself to lie in front of such a lively and spirited child.
"I'm going to find my mom now, goodbye." An'an waved her little hand and ran across the road.
Assistant Lu said with a smile, "This child is really lovable."
"Follow her, and when you meet her parents, be sure to tell them everything that happened today." Although I promised An'an I wouldn't tell anyone, the child's safety is always the top priority.
Being hit by a car is no small matter. If there are other potential problems in the future, you will naturally have to take responsibility.
Assistant Lu followed the girl to the convenience store and watched as she threw herself into Ji Fenghe's arms.
"uncle."
For a moment, Assistant Lu didn't know what expression to wear, and subconsciously stared at Ji Fenghe.
Ji Fenghe was surprised to run into him here and greeted him with a smile: "Long time no see, Assistant Lu."
After leaving Yunxing Group, Ji Feng continued to defy his parents. It's said he went abroad to develop his career, and there's been no news of him for many years.
"Is An'an Young Master Ji's daughter?" Assistant Lu's eyes widened. Although he tried his best to hide his shock, he still couldn't control his tone.
"I wish she were, but unfortunately I don't have that blessing." Ji Feng looked at An An in his arms with a face full of doting affection, then glanced at the clock. "It's getting late, let's talk again next time."
Assistant Lu told Chu Yunxing about the matter in detail, expecting Chu Yunxing to react, but to his surprise, Chu Yunxing remained completely unmoved.
"I've heard rumors of a new force coming here, but I never expected it to be him." Ji Feng's well-defined hands tapped on the keyboard, meticulously handling his work.
Assistant Lu was full of gossip but had nowhere to share it, so he could only sigh helplessly: "Unfortunately, this is not five years ago."
Assistant Lu's hand paused slightly, a fleeting look of disappointment crossing his face.
That night, for the first time ever, he turned off his phone and went to a bustling bar.
I used to hate places like this, but now I've become a regular.
"I knew you'd come." Xie Xing offered a cigarette, his face full of worry. "If you really don't like Song Xingchen, why did you ask me to contact her for you in the first place?"
Song Xingchen is the girl Chu Yunxing turned away from this morning; she is also his current girlfriend.
"People should be punished once they break the rules."
Xie Xing laughed sarcastically: "You're punishing yourself, aren't you? Ever since Song Mai passed away, there hasn't been a smile on your face. Although you're surrounded by women, every single one of them carries the shadow of Song Mai. Don't you find it terrifying to look at their faces and smiles?"
His friends kept advising Chu Yunxing to let go of the past and not be so persistent.
His longing for Song Mai had become pathological, even bordering on madness.
"I know what I'm doing." Chu Yunxing didn't want to continue discussing Song Mai, so he changed the subject.
He drank glass after glass of wine, but it did nothing to relieve his discomfort.
