在熙熙攘攘的街道上，思緒如水般涌過我的腦海。腳步聲在鵝卵石上敲打著，伴隨著心跳和呼吸，終于，我抵達了那個曾無數次夢回的地方。門扉輕啟，一暖意撲面而來，室燈火通明，擺放著各式各樣的食，其中甚至有一款我迫切的佳肴。

餐桌中央，一個致的小蛋糕在燈下熠熠生輝，仿佛是為誰慶祝，又仿佛是對未來的一種喻。我聽到了悉的呼喚，轉過，瑞軒一筆的西裝，手裏捧著一束簡單的玫瑰花，步履蹣跚地向我走來。

他的另一只手中握著一個方形的盒子，我的呼吸在那一剎那凝滯了。終于，這一刻要來了嗎？藏在心底的最深，那份珍貴的被挖掘出來，激的緒幾乎讓我無法自持。

我目不轉睛地盯著他手中的盒子，那些曾經抑的在這一刻涌上心頭，激的難以言表。他緩緩跪下，手中的玫瑰花遞到我面前，打開的盒子裏面是一個銀的戒指，簡簡單單，卻承載著無盡的深。

瑞軒的表略顯尷尬，他輕聲在我耳邊說：“胭胭，我知道我現在還不足以給你買鉆戒，也沒能力給你一個家，但我相信只要我們努力，很快我們就會擁有這一切。”

他的話裏帶著真誠和決心，讓我瞬間淚眼朦朧。他話還沒說完，我已率先捂住了他的，不想聽那些不吉利的話。我輕他的臉頰，語氣堅定：“昨天的事，我原諒你了。那麼，你在等什麼呢？”

我手招呼他，瑞軒眼含笑意，激地像個孩子，小心翼翼地將戒指戴在我的手指上。雖然它是銀的，但對于我而言，它的意義超越了任何鉆戒。

這一刻，我心中的石頭落地，那天的誤會已經煙消云散。隔天，我如往常一樣走進辦公室，剛坐下不久，就看到艾薇被周總進辦公室。周時閻今天來公司？他的麻煩事是不是解決了？

想到這，我不松了一口氣。 sudden, my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone’s voice. It was Ai Wei, who had been summoned to the manager’s office. This could only mean that Zhou Shiyi had arrived at the company. Perhaps his troubles were resolved…

My thoughts raced as I tried to remain composed. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief that his matters had been settled. I quickly reminded myself to stay alert. Shen Xunyan, stay focused! That man was just a seemingly kind devil on the outside…

Suddenly, Ai Wei’s voice broke through my thoughts. “You’re really something, to complain about me after just a few words from me. Just wait until I’m back to give you a good scolding!”

I couldn’t help but smile at her absurdity, yet I said nothing. Instead, I focused on my work, grateful for the silence around me. They had sensed that Ai Wei was in a bad mood, and I was happy to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

Half an hour later, Ai Wei came out of the manager’s office, her expression relaxed. But she didn’t return to her desk; instead, she walked straight towards me. “You think you’re something special? You’re just average!” her tone was condescending.

“I didn’t eat your rice, nor did I steal your clothes or spend your money,” I replied, exasperated. Since I had joined the company, Ai Wei had constantly tried to interfere with me, but I had always focused on my work and kept to myself.

This time, I couldn’t help but rise to her provocation. “What’s that?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her.

She waved a paper in front of my face. “What do you think it is? This is the entry form for the jewelry design competition, handed to you by the manager.”

The sudden proximity took me by surprise. What did Zhou Shiyi want with this entry form? Did he… had he…

I took the form and felt a mix of emotions. Zhou Shiyi had given this to me? Because I had casually mentioned my love for design in a previous incident…

I would need to study it carefully and decide whether to register. But then, Ai Wei spoke harshly again. “Can you even be happy about that? You’re shameless!”

I rolled my eyes and couldn’t help but laugh. “Did I eat your rice? Did I steal your clothes or spend your money?”

Ever since I joined the company, Ai Wei had been trying to cause trouble for me. I just wanted to do my job well, so why should I care?

Suddenly, I felt a sense of frustration, and I couldn’t help but snap back. “What’s wrong with you? You don’t even know what you’re talking about!”

Ai Wei was momentarily startled, her cheeks reddening with anger. “Why don’t you just admit how envious you are? This entry form is from Zhou Shiyi, and it’s clear what his relationship with Jing Yuemo is…”

What? This entry form was from Zhou Shiyi for Jing Yuemo? According to what I knew, Jing Yuemo came from a wealthy background and seemed to have her own business ventures. I was genuinely shocked when I heard this.

My heart was suddenly pierced, a sharp pain spreading through my body. “Is this… is this the entry form Zhou Shiyi gave you?”

Ai Wei hesitated for a moment before finally answering, “Of course! He wouldn’t give it to someone else, would he?”

Her words cut through me, like a knife. Ah! Zhou Shiyi had given this to Jing Yuemo…

That night, as I returned home, I found the place bathed in light, but there was someone new there. “Yanyan, you’re back!” Bai Na greeted me warmly, her expression shifting slightly as she noticed my mood.

“What’s wrong? You seem unhappy. Was someone bullying you?” she asked, her tone憤憤不平。

“I’m fine,” I replied, trying to smile. “Just tired after work.”

As I settled into the comfort of my home, I couldn’t help but reflect on the day’s events. Zhou Shiyi’s gesture with the entry form, Ai Wei’s envy, and Jing Yuemo’s apparent importance in his life. It was clear that I was just a part of his life, a role I was not entirely comfortable with.

But as I lay in bed, I reminded myself of the promise I had made to Mingkai. We had overcome so much, and I believed in us, in our future. I had to stay strong, for him, for us. And for me.
