When the last ray of sunlight was pulled back behind the mountain. As night fell, darkness rapidly enveloped the land. The world instantly became the kingdom of the night.

People often forget the time when they are happy. Su Ruyan and Yang Zilong chatted in the office for a long time, but they didn't realize that time was running out so quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already late.

He didn't know if it was intentional or it was unintentional for them to chat for so long. In short, seeing that it was already late, Yang Zilong insisted on treating Su Ruyan to a meal. Seeing that the situation was in a deadlock, he added one last sentence, "Wait, I also want to go 'think back to the past'. I also have a companion!" Thus, Su Ruyan did not insist!

He politely moved to the side and made a phone call. He said that his boss was treating him to a meal and told him to go by himself first. He would come over later! However, she didn't tell him that her boss was that "old" five hundred thousand!

While Su Ruyan was busy making calls, Yang Zilong called Deng Shijie and told him that he and a staff member were going to have dinner and would come over at night to ask him not to come over. He didn't have to pounce on empty air. Similarly, he didn't tell him that the employee was the one who was in charge of the dance – Su Ruyan.

After hanging up, he saw that Su Ruyan was still talking on the phone. He couldn't help but feel a faint jealousy in his heart. On the other end of the phone, the man whom Su Ruyan called 'crazy' was most likely that sunglasses guy, right?!

'Strength '?

Why are you calling me so affectionately? Yang Zilong frowned, but quickly regained his composure, as if that moment of displeasure was just an illusion.

After hanging up, Su Ruyan smiled as she walked in front of him, waved her phone at him, and said proudly, "Done!"

Seeing Su Ruyan's expression, there was a trace of mischief in her expression. Looking at the mobile phone swaying in her hands, Yang Zilong was wondering how he was going to get the identity of that man. Know yourself and know your enemy. Who asked him to take a fancy to Su Ruyan! (*)... Hee hee!

As the two of them left the company, Yang Zilong suddenly thought of the painful meal he had with Sun Ying. Therefore, he was looking forward to it. Look, if he was a different person, how could he be different!

"How about we go to Fleeting Time's Western Restaurant?" he asked her tentatively as he got into the car. Actually, he had always been looking forward to different feelings.

"En, it's your decision." Hearing the name of the restaurant, Su Ruyan was stunned for a few seconds. Then, a trace of melancholy flashed in the corner of her eyes.

"Oh, okay." Yang Zilong didn't notice anything was wrong with her as she was driving. While he was thinking about what to do next, he was so happy that he put his face on the surface.

For the rest of the ride, no one spoke as the car drove on quietly. Both of them had their own thoughts. As the car moved, they gradually approached Fleeting Time.

"Yan, are you willing to be my bride?!" Romantic piano music wandered around the 'Fleeting Time' coffee shop. The room was decorated with pink balloons. The romantic atmosphere here could make anyone's eyes fill with tears. A white-robed man was holding a bouquet of fresh flowers, kneeling on one knee.

Fleeting Time's business was temporarily suspended tonight. All the seats were reserved by a rich man, specifically to propose to a woman. He had been preparing for this proposal all day. He wanted to give her the most romantic and cozy night.

The woman in white stood leisurely in front of the man, feeling extremely touched. She took the rose from the man's hand. The bloodthirsty red made her beautiful face even more attractive.

"Right." The girl softly replied, feeling extremely excited in her heart. He was going to marry her! This was something he had promised long ago. So, was today his promise to be fulfilled? As he thought about it, tears unexpectedly appeared in his eyes.

When the man saw that she had agreed, he stood up excitedly and took out a small box from his chest pocket. Opening it, a dazzling diamond ring appeared even more dazzling than before.

Gently putting his hand on her finger, the man carefully embraced the girl and kissed her on the lips. He had finally caught her! He was finally responsible for her.

"Idiot, why are you crying?" Hugging her beloved girl in her arms, he realized that she had long been crying tears of happiness. She gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then he said, "In the future, I will only let you shed tears of happiness."

The romantic piano music bore witness to their love, and this' Fleeting Time 'café bore witness to their sweetness. Not long after that, something happened to the man. The promise he gave her was still unfulfilled.

While thinking, Su Ruyan touched her ring finger. The finger with the diamond ring was empty. She had already stored the ring, including all the shells Hao had collected for her, even the ones he had nearly lost his life. Hao was in trouble. She wouldn't allow any more damage to be done to anything related to Hao.

"We're here!" The car steadily stopped in front of 'Fleeting Time' 'West Restaurant's entrance. Yang Zilong turned his head to look at Su Ruyan, who was sitting beside him.

There were traces of tears in her eyes, and she was unusually sad. Yang Zilong had never seen her like this before. He furrowed his brows and looked at her with a pampering gaze. Asked herself: What is it that makes her so sad?

Every time he recalled the past about Hao, the sweeter the smile appeared in his mind, the more sorrowful he felt at this moment. Su Ruyan came back to her senses and saw that the car had stopped in front of 'Fleeting Time'. She took a deep breath to calm her emotions.

"Has it been a long time?" Seeing Yang Zilong silently sitting beside her without a word, Su Ruyan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Right." Yang Zilong raised his eyes and looked at her. "What are you thinking about?" Because of her sadness and her expression, she didn't disturb her, so even when it was' Fleeting Time ', he found that she was in a daze and didn't disturb her again.

"Hur hur, I wasn't thinking of anything." He squeezed out a smile. It was fortunate that she was a beauty, so his smile was filled with bitterness. It wouldn't be any uglier than crying.

"Alright, then let's go in." Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, he didn't force her to do so as he didn't want to ruin everyone's mood. She believed that one day she would tell him herself.

The two got off the car and walked into Fleeting Time. Yang Zilong didn't think much of it. He had only come here at noon, and everything was the same.

Su Ruyan, on the other hand, was looking around. Because the change was too great. Three years ago, this place wasn't as magnificent as it was now. Seeing her looking around, Yang Zilong thought that she had never been here before and the corner of his mouth raised into a smile.

The two of them ordered some food and chatted as they ate. Talk about the 'yesteryear' and talk about his company. He was like a real friend. They were all in a good mood.

She learned that she had learned how to dance, which was why she danced so well that day. It turned out that she was a pure girl before she had entered the 'past'. She was a decent girl and also a graduate, so she had the ability to work in the company. However, when he asked her why she had entered the 'yesteryear', she avoided answering, so it was not good for her to ask any further.

He believed that he would one day find out about what he should know! So, it was great to eat and chat with her! Compared to Sun Ying, it could be said that there was a difference between the sky and the ground! Thus, what was certain was that he wanted her …

The night of early autumn was cool!

After Yang Zilong and Su Ruyan finished their dinner, 'Fleeting Time' came out. A cool breeze blew towards them. Su Ruyan revealed a faint smile.

Seeing her smile so natural, Yang Zilong couldn't help but stare blankly.

It wasn't like he hadn't seen her smile before. Whenever he spoke to her, she would smile. After all, they were friends, so they wouldn't be so indifferent! However, the smiles at that time were mostly polite.

It was rare to see the smile that came from the bottom of her heart, and it was the only thing that merged with the cool night. The night was dark, and her dress was white. Two stark contrasts, accentuating her heavenly beauty. A cool breeze blew against her hair, causing her pure white skirt to flutter. An angel from heaven was only mediocre!

"What's wrong?" Seeing Yang Zilong blankly staring at her, Su Ruyan somewhat embarrassedly lowered her head.

"You're so beautiful." Yang Zilong looked at her dumbly and couldn't help blurting out those words. The moment those words left his mouth, he couldn't help but want to slap himself. How could he say such frivolous words? If she misunderstood that he treated her like Feng Er, then all his efforts would have been in vain!

Seeing Su Ruyan lower her head in embarrassment, he immediately added, "Isn't it against the law to be aesthetics?" He meant to tell her that he really thought she was pretty, and that was true. Who who had seen her would say that she wasn't beautiful? Her purity was also the reason why those perverts loved her back then.

"If you're talking nonsense again, why don't you give me a subsidy if I'm late?" Su Ruyan raised her head, pretended to be angry, and pouted, not wanting to continue this topic. Then, he took the lead to walk towards the door and said, "Sister Lan will deduct my salary!"

Actually, as long as she would go back in time and report, Sister Lan wouldn't deduct her salary. Even if he didn't go, it wouldn't be deducted. Because she was … Su Ruyan!

Every girl liked others to praise their sweetness and prettiness. When they heard others' praise, they would be happy even when they clearly knew it was a compliment. But she was different! She didn't like people praising her beauty. Besides Hao, anyone who praised her because she was beautiful would find it unnatural! She didn't like to pay attention to how beautiful her appearance was. It seemed superficial and purposeful.

Therefore, when facing the big boss in front of him, although he wasn't very handsome, but he was still a man that girls liked a lot in the public. His looks could be considered handsome, but with the addition of his gold, he could be considered an object that many people wished for. The name 'Z City Myth' alone was enough to make people fall for it.

But unfortunately, she didn't feel it at all. In her heart, Hao was the best. No one could compare to Hao. Not to mention Hao was the best in every aspect. Even if Hao's economy was inferior to others, his looks were inferior to others, nothing was inferior to them. Just like now, lying in bed was a cripple in the eyes of others! However, she still believed that Hao was the best!

As the car moved forward, it was bearing the different feelings of the two as it slowly approached the 'yesteryear'. The beginning of the night life, the temporary end of the white-collar life. After driving for a while, they finally stopped at the 'Remembrance of the Year'.

"Let's go in together?" Or do you want to go in first? " The two of them had a tacit understanding. Neither of them immediately got out of the car when the car stopped. Yang Zilong casually put his hands on the steering wheel, turned his head around and deliberately raised his eyebrows at her.

"I don't care." Su Ruyan shrugged, showing a calm and indifferent expression. Then, he opened the car door, got up gracefully, and walked towards the 'yesteryear'.

She didn't care. She had no friends in this world, so she didn't care about the opinions of others. As for their strength, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her heart, nor did she care about it.

Seeing that she had regained her composure, Yang Zilong finally understood. He looked at her in understanding. It was no wonder that she looked so indifferent in this place that should not have belonged to her.

He stood up and followed her out of the car. He slammed the door shut and pressed the car alarm with a smile. The car beeped. He followed closely behind and entered the bar with Su Ruyan.

The bar was brightly lit and people were having fun. Just as everyone was playing with each other, they saw that fascinating figure and couldn't help but take a glance at it. At least, what made everyone sigh was that behind that white figure, there was a man that everyone was familiar with.

"Jing …" "Brother Jin!" Following his younger brother, Lu Li touched the sunglasses guy next to him in panic. Then, he asked in confusion, "Sister Yan … "Why did Sister Yan appear together with that 500,000 yuan?"

When Lu Jing received Su Ruyan's call, he told her that he wasn't going to pick her up from work, so he brought his subordinates over to 'think back to the old days' and waited. Just now when Su Ruyan appeared, their gazes immediately converged on her. He was also curious about the 500,000 yuan behind her.
