Everything that has happened during this time feels like a play, with a mundane beginning and dramatic peaks, ultimately leading to a conclusion. For instance, the events surrounding Qi Shaokai and Xia Sheng Group...
In just one night, the next day when Xinran turned on the TV, the news flashing across various channels was about the sudden resignation of the new president of Xia Sheng Group, with the next president yet to be appointed. Qi Shaokai had simply vanished; Xinran had not seen him again and could not find any trace of him.
She knew it was Mu Shaosi manipulating everything behind the scenes. With his status, making someone disappear completely was as easy as pie. It was just like Gujialan; she had asked to be let go, and after that, she never appeared in the industry again. Some said she went abroad, others said she married and retired, but only Mu Shaosi seemed to know the truth behind it all. However, Xinran did not want to ask or dig deeper. Gujialan and Qi Shaokai were irrelevant to her; their existence did not make her uncomfortable, nor did their absence bring her comfort.
As for whether they were still alive in this world, Xinran would not speculate. She always believed that no matter how powerful Mu Shaosi was, he would not stoop to taking lives. A man with his pride would surely disdain such actions.
Xia Sheng Group returned to her father's hands. On that day, when Mu Shaosi held her hand and appeared in the hospital room, Xinran saw her father's relieved gaze. She thought her father must believe she had found a man who could provide her lifelong happiness, which moved him so much. Since he was satisfied and happy, Xinran felt reassured. She began to think that marrying Mu Shaosi might not be such a bad idea after all. Moreover, she still had the chance to leave three months later. She decided to treat Mu Shaosi well during these three months, at least to show him that her efforts were genuine and that his contributions were not in vain.
For several days now, she had been waiting for him to arrange a meeting to sign the three-month contract. However, it seemed Mu Shaosi was deliberately avoiding her; there was no news from him at all. Xinran could only wait helplessly; she would not take the initiative to call him—she didn't want him to think she was desperate to marry him.
She had not forgotten the lessons he taught her; those experiences would be etched in her heart forever. Even if she encountered true love in the future, she would reflect on them because Mu Shaosi's love for her—though fake—was beautiful. After all this time, it wouldn't be accurate to say she no longer resented him; rather, she was left with conflicting feelings towards him. This man used threats and assistance to chip away at her deep-seated hatred, making it difficult for her even to hate him.
All she could do was guard her heart and avoid falling easily again. Sometimes she thought that her entanglement with Mu Shaosi must be fate. After learning the truth back then, everything should have ended; yet by chance, they met again in Japan, and she happened to shield him from a bullet. So many coincidences could only be explained as fate; perhaps there were human factors involved too—like his sudden appearance in her hotel room disrupting her plans of exchanging herself for shares—but many things are difficult to counter against fate. Who can overturn heaven's will?
"Miss, your coffee."
"Thank you!" Xinran watched the server leave before turning back to gaze out the window. During these days of waiting for news from Mu Shaosi, she had become fond of a small coffee shop near her apartment. The environment there was elegant yet whimsical; it was clear that the owner must be quite a charming person.
However, what attracted Xinran was not just the ambiance but also their Irish Coffee. She was a woman of principles; once she liked something, she would stick with it forever—just like Irish Coffee—no matter where she went, it was always her only choice.
Recently, she had been busy filming advertisements and attending events every day, neglecting the newly opened Coffee Shop. Now that she had some free time, she rekindled her enjoyment of leisurely moments. As the sunlight spilled over the rim of her coffee cup, a serene beauty emerged, making Xinran unable to resist the feeling...
"If you've had enough of wasting time, I've made plans for the afternoon!"
A pleasant voice from a man broke the silence. Xinran was not surprised; she turned her head to face him and replied, "Okay!"
