Huang Xiaoxiao had been swamped with work ever since her team lost its leader. Seeing Yan Ankuo return was like seeing a savior; she hurried over, "Mr. Yan, you're back!" Yan Ankuo set down his briefcase and asked, "Are there still reporters hanging around outside?" Huang Xiaoxiao promptly replied, "Today is much better. Mr. Yan, you can resume your regular schedule." Yan Ankuo joked, "Director Zhou isn't as skilled at exploiting people as you are." "Eh?" Huang Xiaoxiao retorted, "I'm going to…- 135.4 K • Completed
- Despite Bian Ji's decisive invitation today, Yan Ankuo ultimately did not stay in the bedroom. He had cradled Bian Ji in his arms for a long time, finally managing to lull him to sleep, before tiptoeing out to the living room and lying back down on the couch. Yan Ankuo had previously thought that Bian Ji had merely developed an overly independent streak from a young age, never expecting that there was such a thick psychological barrier behind it. Thinking about it now, asking Bian Ji to meet his…

- As night fell, all was silent except for the occasional passenger planes passing overhead. Bian Ji's apartment wasn't far from the airport, so the roar of engines could be heard clearly. "Do you need earplugs?" Yan Ankuo didn't know Bian Ji's usual sleeping habits; after all, they hadn't shared a bed while awake before. "Do you have any soothing incense at home? I could light it for you?" Bian Ji shook his head. "Don't worry about it, just go to sleep." Yan Ankuo obediently lay down beside…

- Yan Ankuo gently stroked Bian Ji's furry head, lifting his face up. He asked with a pleading tone, "If you're not resistant, then why can't you accept cohabitation? Can you tell me about it?" It seemed he was eager to learn about Bian Ji's past, but the party involved was unwilling to reveal such intimate details at the moment. To Bian Ji, his teenage years were ugly, and he didn't plan on exposing his scars within an intimate relationship. He wasn't sure of the purpose behind this reluctance,…

- Yan Ankuo was stunned for two seconds before hesitantly asking, "Your place?" Bian Ji's mood instantly shifted, his voice lowering slightly. "Yeah, my place." Yan Ankuo fell silent, waiting for a long moment before saying, "I won't go there. It's too dangerous, and it wouldn't be good for you either." "Bian Ji!" This time, Bian Ji was unusually firm, raising his tone decisively. "Do you have a better option? Anywhere else you can go?" Bian Ji's current apartment was company-owned, so it had…

- It was already past midnight when Bian Ji returned home. Knowing that Yan Ankuo had to drive for some time more and fearing that night driving could be dangerous, he didn't dare to sleep. Instead, he lay in bed, scrolling through videos of Yan Ankuo's court proceedings. Bian Ji usually had fragmented time, either on a plane or in a car, but now that he finally had some free time, he decided to learn more about his lover's work. Some courts would livestream and replay their public trials online, so…

- Yan Ankuo suddenly stood up, panicked, asking, "It's your birthday today? Isn't it… next month?" Bian Ji had never volunteered his birthday date, but Yan Ankuo had seen his ID card and had already booked a restaurant and bought gifts for next month. He had intended to surprise Bian Ji with these plans, but it turned out he had misjudged the situation. Bian Ji said with his head lowered, "We celebrate according to the lunar calendar." A habit from his youth, which no one remembered after he…

- Perhaps realizing his tone had been too harsh, Bian Ji touched his nose and sat back down, amending, "What I mean is, right now… it's not the right time for us to live together." Yan Ankuo was clearly startled by the abruptness of the refusal, leaning back before slowly leaning forward again once Bian Ji had settled back into his seat. Gripping the table with both hands, he asked, "To what extent do you think we need to prepare for it to be the right time?" Bian Ji still couldn't meet Yan Ankuo's…

- At the moment the trial concluded, Yan Ankuo felt like a drowning man finally gasping for fresh air. He tightened his coat around him and lifted his head to inhale deeply. Liang Jingliang passed by his side, unable to hide his smug satisfaction. "You're quite impressive; no wonder Director Zhou strongly recommended you." Yan Ankuo remained aloof. "If there's nothing else, President Liang, all you need to do now is wait for the outcome." "Alright. How about I treat you to dinner tonight? You've…

- ---[Mr. Bian, good news! The house you had your eye on last year, the landlord is eager to swap it out and has slashed the price by 500,000 yuan! ---The messages came in almost simultaneously. Bian Ji sat hugging his knees on the sofa, staring blankly at his phone on the coffee table without moving. He didn't feel like replying to any of the good or bad news. After experiencing so many ups and downs, Bian Ji had come to deeply understand the phrase “do one's best and leave the rest to fate.” His…
