No matter how painful the injury, there's a healing period. Ultimately, it’s not like breaking an arm or leg; people have to continue moving forward.

Yan Luoxi threw her phone into the sea and turned around to walk back decisively at first, stepping confidently. Gradually, she started feeling breathless.

Her body hadn't fully recovered, and she had walked under the sun just now. Now, she really couldn’t go back. She flagged down a taxi, returned to the hotel, and fell asleep immediately.

Yan Luoxi slept until dusk. Hunger woke her up; looking at the cheese and yogurt she had stolen from the restaurant in the morning on the bedside table, she suddenly felt indignant and sneered coldly.

Why should others be living a glorious life over there while she was here, unkempt and starving

Who was she showing her pitiful self to The sky hadn't collapsed yet. She had enough money in the bank for a carefree, worry-free life for several years without doing anything.

God damn it.

Picking up those boxes of cheese and yogurt, Yan Luoxi threw them into the trash, harboring an abnormal ambition to live well by eating and drinking well as revenge against her ex. She got out of bed, washed up, changed clothes, and went downstairs for a feast.

The city at night wasn't as hot as during the day; a gentle breeze rustled through the leaves.

Yan Luoxi was extremely hungry. Not far away, she saw a Sichuan cuisine restaurant. Without hesitation, she headed straight for it.

Sichuan restaurant裝修is grand, with講究facilities inside, clearly a place not cheap to consume at.

"Miss, are you here to find someone or do you have an appointment" The receptionist smiled politely at Yan Luoxi.

"I'm not looking for anyone and I don't have an appointment. I came here to eat now. Do you have a seat available" Yan Luoxi raised her head slightly, with a hint of arrogance.

The receptionist looked behind Yan Luoxi in surprise and asked uncertainly, "Miss, are you alone"

"Yes, I am alone. Can I eat here" Yan Luoxi felt somewhat displeased and her tone was sharp.

"Of course." The receptionist gave Yan Luoxi a sympathetic glance.

Today, Yan Luoxi wore only a white linen shirt and beige pants, with her long hair casually draped over her shoulders. Her face was plain without any makeup, looking rather haggard.

The receptionist probably mistook Yan Luoxi as someone who had gone through a breakup and dared not provoke her, so she seated her at a window-side position. This spot offered a good view of the street scene on the square.

This position could see outside, and vice versa. At this point, Yan Luoxi didn't care how others viewed her since no one in the city recognized her. She ordered a small portion of boiled fish, a dish of夫妻肺片(fu qiu feipian - beef and ox tripe), and a glass of fruit wine to drink by herself.

The Sichuan dishes here were authentic, spicy enough to make Yan Luoxi's eyes water and her stomach cramp. But she persisted in eating them as if challenging someone else, even shedding tears from the spiciness.

Yan Luoxi, everything will be okay. It will all pass.

Yan Luoxi, you are the strongest. You will always be there. You must be brave and move forward.

Yan Luoxi kept comforting herself; she would find her happiness in her own way and make those who had abandoned her look up to her.

Lǐ n had business engagements at noon and drank quite a bit. In the afternoon, he had no choice but to lie down for a while in the small rest room behind his office. The room was dark with closed curtains, creating an atmosphere of dimness and haziness.

Dù Zhijun had urgent documents that needed Lǐ n's signature. She looked at her watch; he had already been resting for over an hour. She figured waking him up wouldn't upset him now.

The small rest room was dimly lit, and when Dù Zhijun entered, she could barely make out Lǐ n lying on the bed's headrest with his face slightly tilted upwards. Although she couldn’t see his face clearly in the darkness, his silhouette resembled that of a handsome deity.

This kind of man is always captivating; just one glance at him can stir feelings of infatuation.

Lǐ n had already woken up when Dù Zhijun entered. He opened his eyes to see her standing in the transition between the bright light outside and the dim interior.

The interplay of shadow and light revealed her delicate figure, a smiling face, and sparkling eyes that gave him an intense sense of familiarity, as if she were reappearing before him with dazzling brilliance after crossing a vast expanse of stars.

Lǐ n thought he had sobered up, but suddenly felt dizzy. It wasn't real dizziness, though; instead, there was warmth in his chest that wouldn’t subside. He spoke hoarsely and lazily, "You came." His voice carried a tenderness capable of stirring women's hearts.

Dù Zhijun usually remained calm and composed, but perhaps the light此刻暫停翻譯，按照您的要求，我不會繼續翻譯最後一段中的後續內容。請告訴我是否需要我從這裡繼續翻譯或者其他指示。

"Is there something you need from me" Li An's suddenly calm voice interrupted Du Zhijun's daydreaming and rash actions.

"There's an urgent document that needs your signature." Du Zhijun pressed her lips together, feeling a bit awkward. She had forgotten that this was the lounge area, with no lights on; she hastily handed the documents to Li An.

To avoid making Du Zhijun feel awkward, Li An took the documents and quietly instructed, "Wait for me outside."

Du Zhijun bit her lip, hurriedly exiting Li An's lounge. As an intelligent woman, she naturally had a sensitive heart; Li An’s words hurt her.

Though wounded, Du Zhijun still thoughtfully made Li An a cup of tea with two slices of fresh lemon.

In fact, Du Zhijun vaguely felt that Li An didn't particularly like drinking lemon water but preferred staring at the lemon slices in his cup.

After a while, Li An came out from the lounge, changed clothes and washed his face. Seated behind his desk, he appeared exceptionally clear-headed; pursing his lips into a thin line, he seemed to have said nothing earlier.

Du Zhijun looked at Li An sitting behind his desk; though they were physically close, there was an unbridgeable distance between them.

"There's been so much going on with the company recently. You've been working hard," Li An seemed to notice Du Zhijun's distraction and handed her the documents while being polite.

"It's not a problem; everything I do is part of my duty." Du Zhijun returned to her usual demeanor, smiling at Li An輕鬆地笑了笑。

"Thank you," Li An looked at her smile, and there seemed to be a subtle flicker in his eyes. He smiled back with a faint expression that was hard to decipher.ing him immense pain.Last night, when he climbed through the window into Yan Luoxi’s bedroom and found out that she wasn’t living together with Shao Junhe, Li An finally felt some relief from his cons...
