Heartbroken and lovelorn

  On the other hand, Xiao Yifan and Ling Yuqian walked silently along the sidewalk on the main road.

  The wind in the dead of night felt even chillier, Xiao Yifan walked while occasionally glancing at Ling Yuqian's delicate face filled with deep thought, his heart full of confusion and concern.

  It was already dawn, and the buses had stopped operating. Just now, after that man and two women left, he wanted to ask her to share a taxi with him and send her back home. Unexpectedly, before he could speak up, she suddenly started walking forward without saying a word, leaving him bewildered and having no choice but to follow closely behind.

  He knew that her mutation should have something to do with the man, but wasn't she just formally notified of her new job? Logically speaking, she shouldn't have had any contact with him yet. Moreover, since he was going to be her superior, her attitude should have been cautious and respectful, not like... the state of being lost and disheartened earlier.

  "What's wrong with her? Nothing happened, right?" Xiao Yifan's curiosity and worry gradually swelled up, but he didn't dare to ask recklessly. After walking for a while, he finally spoke up, his voice slow and hesitant, "Yu Xuan... it's getting late, I'll send you home."

  Ling Yuqian stopped abruptly, finally looking him straight in the eye. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a daze, and soon after, she stretched out her hand to stop an empty car that was coming from the opposite direction.

  Xiao Yifan got on the car with her and told the driver their respective addresses.

  The car moved forward again, Ling Yuqian still didn't make a sound, Xiao Yifan's emotions were even more turbulent. After a while, he broke the silence again, "Yuqian, so you've just changed to a new job?"

  Ling Yuqian slightly regained her composure and softly replied, "Mm, starting work on Monday at the Zhonghua Hotel."

  "That's a big company, the environment should be good." Xiao Yifan continued to chat her up. He didn't know He Wei personally, but he had inquired about his opponent He Xin, including her family background, and naturally also knew about the famous He Group in G City.

  Ling Yuqian's eyes met his, and she couldn't help but smile slightly as she looked at his warm and friendly face. She changed the subject to him, "You mentioned earlier that the top three winners of this competition would be signed by Zhongheng Media Group. Is that going to happen soon?"

  As expected, as soon as this was mentioned, Xiao Yifan's entire face suddenly lit up, "Hmm, the Mr. Chen who shook hands with us in rotation at the celebration banquet earlier is actually the planning director of Zhongheng Media Group. He said that he would find a time to take us back to the company for a formal meeting to discuss future development matters."

  Ling Yuqian's mood also soared with joy, and she was genuinely happy for him and blessed him, "Yifan, your dream is about to come true, it's finally going to come true!"

  Xiao Yifan was not modest, his voice was even more sonorous, full of confidence and vitality, "Yes, I seem to have seen the light at the end of the tunnel, I think with my efforts, I will definitely be able to make a name for myself in the entertainment industry, by then..."

  He paused for a moment, gazing at her steadily. "Yu Xuan, do you still remember what I told you before? As long as you have dreams, there will be a future. No matter how difficult, bitter and painful the past was, as long as you persevere, you will definitely usher in a bright future. I think you will too. You are about to start working at the Zhonghua Hotel, which is a great opportunity. Your wishes and goals are within reach!"

  Wishes and goals, can they be achieved? Will it happen? Will I also get what I wish for? Looking at his radiant face, my heart is stirred, and a handsome and unparalleled face that makes me deeply miss and think of appears in my mind.

  After falling behind in the family way, I always hope that my family can live a peaceful and safe life, with enough food and clothing, and my sister will recover normally. In fact, I also have another dream, which is to find Tianyou... The lover who once deeply loved me, accompanied me through countless happy moments, for him, I am willing to give up everything.

  This dream had been suppressed deep within my heart, until He Wei appeared and it uncontrollably jumped to the forefront of my mind, making me extremely eager to work at the Zhonghua Hotel, and upon learning that I could work with him, I was so moved that I burst into tears.

  Time slipped away in everyone's contemplation, the 15-minute car ride had come to an end, and the taxi pulled over to the side of the road. Xiao Yifan told the driver to drop Ling Yuexuan off.

  Under the dim streetlights, he looked at her deeply and expressed his heartfelt gratitude again. "Yu Xuan, thank you for coming tonight, thank you for sharing this honor and joy with me. From now on, we are friends, okay?"

  Ling Yuqian didn't say a word, but her eyes were filled with affection as she looked back at him. In fact, she was grateful to him! Over the past few years, due to her busy work schedule, she had hardly had time to make friends, let alone romantic relationships - even friendships with people of the same sex were rare, except for Cai Lan, a former high school classmate. Everyone else was just a colleague, and their interactions were limited to work-related matters. Therefore, meeting him was a kind of fate, and she would cherish this wonderful connection.

  I will always remember that on a certain rainy night, a big boy with a faint sorrow but full of hope for the future rushed to my side in the rain and sincerely said to me, "Ling Yuqian, please remember, as long as there are dreams, there is a future!"

  "Hey, can we go now?"

  Suddenly a loud shout broke the two people's affectionate gaze. It turned out that the waiting time had passed, and the driver began to urge them on.

  Xiao Yifan's eyes welled up with reluctance, suppressing the urge to reach out and hold her hand, only uttering a clichéd farewell phrase, "Take care, we'll be in touch by phone!"

  Ling Yuqian also calmed down, lightly saying goodbye, watching him get back on the taxi, the car drove away in a cloud of dust, she also hastily went upstairs, returning home.

  The family members were all asleep, the whole house was quiet, and she also moved extremely gently. After finishing her bath, she returned to the bedroom, suddenly took out a brush and paper, and devoted herself to painting for about half an hour, drawing out the figure that had emerged in her mind.

  The facial outline is sharp and angular, with a sword-like brow and eagle eyes that shine like torches. The nose is straight and the thin lips are pursed in confidence, revealing a stunningly handsome face that exudes a strong sense of familiarity. However, the aura emanating from him is no longer one of untamed wildness, but rather a more captivating and intoxicating presence.

  Yes, she painted He Yu tonight, who is very likely to be Tianyou's He Yu!

  As long as there is a dream, there will be a future. Heaven bless you, I believe you are still in the world of men, still in G city, and what's more, you have appeared before me.

  I hope you still love him as much as I do, this is what we agreed on, no matter what happens, our love for each other will not change and will only grow deeper. I've done it, I believe you can too!

  That night, she could finally fall asleep with beautiful expectations and hopes.
