Chi Xiwen barely paused before striding quickly toward the two of them. Halfway there, he suddenly remembered they were in the middle of crossing the street. So he had to bite back the question that is already on the tip of his tongue. It wasn’t until they’d reached the other side, Chi Yunxing and Duan Zhiyan were just about to get in the car that Chi Xiwen finally called out to them. “Yunxing, wait a second.” Hearing the voice behind him, Chi Yunxing instinctively stopped and turned…-

Duan Zhiyan had already made things clear so how could Chi Xiwen not understand what he meant? Tan Yao still looked confused. She glanced between the three of them. “What do you mean…?” “It’s nothing serious,” Chi Xiwen smoothly picked up the conversation. “Mom, you just might need to talk to a psychologist.” Tan Yao looked startled. “You mean…” “It’s just a possibility,” Chi Xiwen said. “I think you and Dad probably need to have a good talk.” Tan Yao was…

Sure enough, when Father and Mother Chi learned about it, they held the same opinion as Chi Ling and were firmly against keeping the baby. Afraid Tan Yao might overthink things, Mother Chi even pulled her aside for a private heart-to-heart. “Yao Yao, our Chi Ling is just like his father, he’s stubborn as a mule. Once he’s set his mind on someone, he’ll never let go,” Mother Chi said with a smile. “When he first told us he liked you, his father and I were both surprised. Even before he won…

Duan Zhiyan was stunned for a moment before he frowned and looked at Chi Xiwen. “What happened?” Chi Xiwen looked uncomfortable. To be honest, he wasn’t sure what exactly had gone down between them either. He drank too much last night and fell asleep as soon as he got home. He slept straight through until this morning, when he heard a commotion outside. At first, Chi Xiwen didn’t think much of it and was about to go back to sleep until he heard Tan Yao and Chi Ling arguing. Right then,…

Chi Yunxing froze for a second, but quickly snapped out of it. This wasn’t a dream. It was the moment he had waited for, longed for. Yet even when it finally arrived, it still felt unreal. The fireworks faded. The cramped gondola of the Ferris wheel dimmed again, leaving only Duan Zhiyan’s eyes glittering brightly in the dark. He watched Chi Yunxing quietly, patiently waiting for his answer. Chi Yunxing felt something swell in his chest, it was warm and a little sweet. There was no…

The next morning, Chi Yunxing got up very early. Not long after he finished washing up, Xie Yi arrived. As soon as he opened the door, Xie Yi handed him a beautifully wrapped gift. Chi Yunxing’s eyes lit up. He quickly thanked her. “Thank you so much, Yi Jie!” Xie Yi waved him off. “No need to thank me, it’s nothing.” “Want to come in for a bit?” Chi Yunxing asked with a smile. Xie Yi nodded. “Actually, I have a couple of contracts for you to sign.” Once inside, she…

Duan Zhiyan had clearly expected Chi Xiwen’s reaction and replied with no emotion at all, “Then tell me, if I don’t explain it this way, how else should I explain it to the fans and the public?” Chi Xiwen gave a cold laugh. “Couldn’t you just say he’s the younger brother of a friend? Since when did the ever-articulate Movie Emperor Duan lose the ability to spin a decent explanation?” Duan Zhiyan was as agreeable as ever. “Then should I go edit the post now and change ‘childhood…

Chi Yunxing’s heart skipped a violent beat. He stood there stunned for a few seconds before he belatedly realized what Duan Zhiyan had just said. Flustered, Chi Yunxing opened his mouth but he couldn’t say a word. His heart thudded so hard on the left side of his chest it felt like it might burst out of him. All he could do was stare blankly at Duan Zhiyan. Duan Zhiyan wasn’t surprised by the look on Chi Yunxing’s face. His eyes crinkled with even more amusement. After He You parked…

Duan Zhiyan’s breath was warm, his exhale circling Chi Yunxing’s ear twice, leaving behind a tingling heat. Chi Yunxing froze, not daring to move even a little. His heart was pounding wildly in the stillness of the dark space, and something quietly began to bloom. After speaking, Duan Zhiyan seemed to pull back a bit. His heated gaze lingering on Chi Yunxing’s ears, which were so red they seemed to bleed. After a moment, the man let out a soft chuckle. The sound was so faint that Chi…

In that split second, Chi Yunxing’s mind was racing. He thought of the kiss on set that day, how Duan Zhiyan responded, and the “I got a little too into character” that sounded like both an excuse and a confession. He remembered their wrap day, sitting side by side, and the husky question Duan Zhiyan had asked him. Chi Yunxing turned his head slightly and saw Duan Zhiyan watching him intently, patiently waiting for his answer. He couldn’t help but wonder: Why was Duan Zhiyan asking him…
