lie wanted to kiss her, to take her back to his home, to visit his mother’s grave with her.

But he knew he couldn’t.

He couldn’t rush things, couldn’t startle her, couldn’t ruin the precious chance they had to be together.

Lin Gantang took out a pair of cufflinks. “1 liked the hamster you gave me last time, so I got you a gift too.”

She placed the gift in his hands and seemed a bit smug. “You always wear suits, so this will come in handy. 1 don’t know much about these things, but I’m sure I didn’t pick the wrong one.”

Wen Yanqing looked at her delicate hands and her eyes filled with a bright smile. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he felt his throat tighten.

“I like it,” he said.

Lin Gantang chuckled and playfully tapped him. “You haven’t even seen it yet!”

Wen Yanqing joined in the laughter.

During Wen Yanqing’s overtime, Lin Gantang didn’t head home. Instead, she sat on the sofa, flipping through a magazine.

In the meantime, Yi Qian entered and brought her coffee. Then, the young Secretary Wang from the office visited. The CEO barely glanced at her, instead, he put down a cake and gazed at Lin Gantang. Secretary Wang’s face turned excitedly red, and her eyes sparkled.

Lin Gantang was perplexed.

In the secretary’s group chat:

“Confirmed, it’s Miss Lin!”

“The Miss Lin from the Lin Corporation?”

“The Miss Lin the CEO is openly in love with?!”

“Wow! The one who’s earnest and persistent, like carving in stone?”

“The one who’s unforgettable and surely will have echoes?”

“Persevere!”

“Believe in love!”

Special Assistant Yi said, “You guys seem quite excited.”

Special Assistant Yi added, “Let me tell you something even more exciting, the project in S City has been approved. You need to overtime.”

The group was filled with wails and howls.

Around 7 p.m., the darkness of the night had fallen.

Wen Yanqing looked up from his work documents to find Lin Gantang playing with her phone while a magazine lay open on her lap.

“It’s still early. Want to go out for a walk?” Wen Yanqing asked.

“Where are we going?” Lin Gantang inquired.

“Jiangbin Park is hosting a light festival. Interested in checking it out?”

In the park, a steady stream of people flocked to see the illuminated lanterns.

Lin Gantang stood on her tiptoes to catch a glimpse and saw an array of colorful and creatively designed lanterns.

Navigating through the crowd, Lin Gantang gracefully avoided an excited child leaping around and suddenly, her hand was held.

Wen Yanqing was holding her hand.

His palm was very warm.

Lin Gantang saw him pretending to be fine as he looked at the colorful spotlights in the distance and felt his trembling hands.

Lin Gandang chuckled, causing Wen Yanqing to lower his head and look at her.

The lights cast a glow on his face, and it was hard to tell whether the color was from the lights or if his cheeks had reddened.

Without hesitation, Lin Gantang looped her arm through his and nestled affectionately against him. “There are so many beautiful lights inside. Let’s go take a look.”

Wen Yanqing caught a faint fragrance from her, like a toxin that left him craving for more, enticing him deeper.

Tonight, these were the most beautiful lights he had ever seen.

As the night grew late, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Wen Yanqing accompanied her back home.

Lin Gantang, having taken a shower, lay in bed. She recalled Wen Yanqing’s gentle smile amidst the lights and couldn’t help but roll around playfully.

Then, she took out her phone and posted a photo of the two of them holding hands.

With her phone muted, Lin Gantang drifted into sleep, unaware of the stream of comments that flooded in.

Zhang Rongqing asked, “Are you dating? I can’t believe I, your best friend, wasn’t the first to know!

Bei Bei asked “Who’s he? Who is he?”

Xu Bingxi replied to Bei Bei, “Am 1 the only one who finds his hand and his watch a bit familiar? Like I’ve seen them somewhere before.”

Bei Bei replied to Xu Bingxi, “Think harder!”

Che Qin added, “Congratulations, Sister Gantang.”

Gan Minglu said, “Zhichuan must be feeling terrible now, huh?”

Bei Bei replied to Gan Minglu, “Are you out of your mind? Gu Zhichuan’s mother has already given him a good look. Maybe they’ve even decided already. Yin Yang Master, please stop talking..”
