The Beautiful and Wild Tanabata Night (Part 1)

  Since then, Ling Yuqian has become more melancholic, and her thoughts often wander to the upcoming Qixi Festival when He Wei and Li Xiaotong will be going on a romantic getaway to Bali. Sometimes she even fantasizes about He Wei and Li Xiaotong lying together in a huge double bed, entwined in love, until she bursts into another fit of heart-wrenching sobs.

  Regarding He Yunqing's birthday banquet, He Wei did not discuss it with her again, but instead let Chi Zhenfeng convey or arrange it. She thought that he should be making time to prepare for the Bali trip, and should be thinking about how to win Li Xiaotong's heart, thinking day and night in bed, what sweet words and vows to use to deceive Li Xiaotong, so that she would willingly go to Wushan with him.

  Just like in the past, she was exhausted by him every time, but since he wasn't satisfied and hadn't had enough, he would think of ways to persuade her, using both gentle and forceful means, until she could only prop up her frail body and continue to endure his repeated possession, bearing his enormous and astonishing desires.

  Chui Fung noticed her sorrow and couldn't help but ask, "Yonda, did something happen to you? Are you okay?"

  Facing Chi Zhenfeng's concerned and worried eyes, Ling Yuxuan's heart was filled with emotion, but she chose to shake her head and didn't express the pain in her heart.

  "I think you're hiding many unknown secrets in your heart, those secrets bring you immense pain, that kind of pain has been continuing until now." Chi Zhenfeng continued to say, his tone slow.

  He is so clever and awesome, and his judgment is spot on!

  Ling Yuqian looked back at him, his beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with gentle affection, his heart surged continuously, his pale lips trembled slightly, wanting to speak but hesitating.

  "Tell me, okay? Let me help you, or let me share the burden with you." Chi Chun-feng persisted, his expression still exceptionally sincere and earnest.

  Tell you? Will you really help me after knowing the truth? Will you really "break up" that pair of lovers who are most suitable for you? Can you bear to take He Wei away from your goddess and return him to me? Ling Yu's autumn eyes were shrouded in a thin layer of sorrow, and the sharp pain spread out again from her chest.

  She felt a deep sense of gratitude towards this man, whom she had known for only a short time but already felt an inexplicable closeness and friendship with. However, she thought it was still too early to confide in him about her true feelings, so instead, she forced a faint smile onto her lips, a melancholic smile that seemed to convey the sorrow of a lily blooming amidst tears, evoking a deep sense of pity from those who saw it.

  “yonda……”

  "I'm fine, don't worry about me. Yeah, I've been through a lot, but when the time is right, I'll tell you, okay? Don't worry, I really am fine." Ling Yuwen interrupted him, trying her best to suppress her voice and not let the pain seep out.

  Chi Zhenfeng suddenly got up from his office chair, walked around the desk and came to her side. His tall and strong body formed a sharp contrast with her petite and slender figure. He didn't hesitate at all, and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his embrace.

  Ling Yuqian's body stiffened for a moment before she gently pushed him away. He also followed her intention and let go.

  "I'll go back and get busy first." Ling Yuqian bid farewell in a low voice, leaving him with a grateful look, turned around and left his office.

  Around noon, she received a call from Xiao Yifan, saying he was at a restaurant near the Zhonghua Hotel and wanted to invite her to lunch.

  It's been more than half a month since I last saw Xiao Yifan, and during this time, we only occasionally chatted on the phone. So, Ling Yuwen immediately agreed, and as soon as she got off work, she changed her clothes and came to the address he mentioned.

  It's an elegantly decorated high-end restaurant with soft music playing, making the whole space feel very relaxing and comfortable.

  She found that Xiao Yifan's appearance and image had undergone a huge change, his angular face was now smooth and fair; his dark and bright eyes were filled with an enchanting color; his eyebrows were filled with confidence, completely gone was the hint of worry that used to be there, from head to toe, he exuded a dazzling aura of a rising star.

  It seems his career is going smoothly.

  "Yu Juan, how have you been lately?" Xiao Yifan asked eagerly as soon as she sat down, his handsome face still sporting the same charming smile that made her recall the quiet rainy night when they first met.

  "Is your new company tiring? How about work?" he continued to ask.

  Ling Yuqian nodded, "Not bad, how about you?"

  "I have officially signed with Flying Eagle Media Group, and started recording singles last week. Next, I will be working on a whole album. " Xiao Yifan excitedly informed, his entire face shining brightly like a sunlamp. He paused for a moment, then lowered his voice slightly, but couldn't hide the excitement and joy, revealing an even more shocking piece of good news: "The company's boss really appreciates me, praising me as a promising talent, planning to cultivate me into a triple threat in film, television, and music. They also said... not long from now, I will become a dazzling star."

  He was so excited that he couldn't help but put his hand on her small and soft hands.

  Ling Yuqian was also delighted and did not reject or refuse his sudden move. She understood his feelings, she and he were both dream chasers, and the joy and excitement of realizing their dreams could only be deeply felt by those who had experienced it themselves.

  "Yu Juan, you must work hard too, and one day your dreams will come true just like mine." Xiao Yifan continued to say excitedly. He didn't have many friends, but in his eyes, Yu Juan seemed even more noble. As soon as he heard the good news today, he couldn't wait to rush over and share it with her, because he knew that she, like him, was a person with beautiful dreams, and they were both people who worked hard and persisted for their dreams.

  Ling Yuqian's eyes sparkled with tears, and amidst her tears, there was a smile. She nodded in delight.

  Just then, the restaurant waiter came to serve the dishes. They finally let go of each other's hands, sat up straight and started eating.

  In a quiet and elegant environment, with delicious food, and joyful mood, they savored their meal. Xiao Yifan chatted non-stop about his recent situation to Ling Yuqian, sharing some humorous stories that brought many smiles to her face. However, regarding her own situation, Ling Yuqian didn't say much, only lightly mentioning a few things about work.

  Xiao Yifan carefully noticed the melancholy and sadness under her eyes, so he said some encouraging words to her, so this meal was still pleasant and satisfying.

  After finishing the meal and settling the bill, Xiao Yifan went to the restroom. Ling Yuqin took advantage of the empty space to look around and size up the place. Her beautiful eyes passed over a certain table not far away, and the rotating black beads suddenly stopped moving.

  It's He Yue and Li Xiaotong again!

  Li Xiaotong had his back to her, while He Yu sat opposite Li Xiaotong, directly facing her. He looked over Li Xiaotong's head and gazed in her direction.

  His appearance was still handsome and unmatched, but there was no smile on his face. His sharp eyes were deep and gloomy, a bit frightening and startling, making her think of the words he "taught" her in the office that day. She couldn't help but wonder when he had arrived, when he had discovered her, and whether he had seen her having dinner with Xiao Yifan.

  But soon, she shook off the confused thoughts and thought with a huff, when he comes, what does it have to do with her seeing him, why should she think about these things, isn't he having dinner with another woman, what's wrong with her gathering with friends?!

  She gave him a resentful glance, and Ling Yuqian withdrew her gaze. Xiao Yifan happened to return at this time and took her away from the restaurant.

  The following days passed quickly, and before I knew it, the Double Seventh Festival had arrived.

  Ling Yuqian returned to the office early in the morning, dispirited and listless, staring blankly at the date on the calendar, overcome with grief and heartache.

  In the evening, colleagues all went home after work. Some celebrated with their husbands, some with boyfriends, and those who were single invited each other to spend time together.

  She alone used overtime as an excuse to tell her mother and continued to stay in the office.

  Digression
