He handed her one of the glasses and sat down next to her.
"It's nothing." Li Susu took the coffee, took a small sip, and the bitter taste spread on her tongue, but unexpectedly made her feel a sense of peace.
Chen Ke looked at her and assured her:
"Don't worry, once we get to Country Z, I will do my best to heal your face."
"Thank you," Li Susu said softly, her voice a little hoarse.
"You're welcome," Chen Ke smiled. "It was nothing."
He paused, as if remembering something, and asked, "By the way, do you remember your name?"
Li Susu shook her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
"You don't remember anything?" Chen Ke's tone carried a hint of regret.
Li Susu shook her head again, tears welling up in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Chen Ke felt a surge of pity.
"Don't be sad, everything will be alright," he comforted softly. "Since you can't remember, how about I help you choose a name?"
Li Susu looked up at him, her eyes blurry with tears.
"Chen Nuo, how are you?" Chen Ke looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness. "The 'nuo' in 'promise' means that I hope your future life will be full of hope."
“Chen Nuo…” Li Susu repeated the name softly, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
She nodded, accepting the new name and the new beginning.
The boarding announcement came over the loudspeaker, and Chen Ke stood up and reached out his hand to her.
"Let's go, Chen Nuo."
Li Susu placed her hand in his palm, feeling the warmth of his hand, and a strange sense of security rose in her heart.
Three years later.
The phone rang abruptly, shattering the tranquility of the CN Financial Company president's office.
CN, after arriving in Z country, established her own financial company.
In just three years, it has become a dark horse with a worldwide reputation.
This face is no longer as bright and beautiful as I remember.
The surgical scars were cleverly concealed, replaced by a different kind of cold beauty, like a thorny rose that keeps people at a distance.
Li Susu reached for her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and saw it was Chen Ke.
Her slender fingers paused for a moment on the answer button before finally pressing it.
"Hello?"
"Arno, want to have dinner together tonight?" Chen Ke's voice was as gentle as ever.
"good!"
The hands of the elegant wristwatch pointed to seven o'clock.
Li Susu stood up and closed the documents on the table.
As I stepped out of the CN Financial Building, a Maybach was already waiting at the door.
Chen Ke got out of the driver's seat and opened the car door for her.
"Arno, you look beautiful today." His eyes were filled with undisguised admiration.
Li Susu nodded slightly in response.
She got into the car, her gaze falling on the rapidly receding street scene outside the window.
Three years is enough time for many things to change.
She couldn't remember anything that happened three years ago, only that this man named Chen Ke had pulled her back from the brink of hell.
The Maybach drove smoothly through the city night.
Finally, it stopped in front of a high-end Western restaurant.
Chen Ke gentlemanly opened the car door for her and led her into the restaurant.
The restaurant has an elegant ambiance with soft lighting.
Chen Ke booked a window seat with a panoramic view of the city at night.
"Arno, congratulations, CN Financial's stock has risen again this quarter." Chen Ke raised his glass of red wine, gazing tenderly at Li Susu.
Li Susu also raised her glass and gently clinked it with his.
"Thank you." Her voice was cold and indifferent.
