Luo Lin's career stabilizes as he acquires shares in his company, granting him greater autonomy. Eager to share the news, he visits Xinyue's apartment but hesitates upon seeing her parents, Lu Heting and Su Bei, realizing her elite background. Years later, at Qiao Weiyang and Su Zhuoqian's wedding, Xinyue introduces Luo Lin to her family, who approve of him, though she wonders if he sees her only as a friend.

'That man right there is Lu Heting, head of the Lu Group. The lady nearby is Su Bei, a superstar in showbiz. Then you've got today's groom, Su Zhuoqian, and his bride, Qiao Weiyang. They're Xinyue's dad, mom, brother, and sister-in-law. Doesn't this stir up any feelings in you?'

'Yes! Send back that email saying I'll collaborate with them this evening,' Luo Lin replied steadily.

Brother Liang felt utterly powerless. And that was all?

Earlier, Luo Lin had instructed him to watch over Xinyue closely. Should anyone pick on her, he needed to step in.

Luckily, the entertainment circle had stayed fairly calm over recent years. Xinyue counted as a prized talent at her agency too. Truth be told, Brother Liang hadn't faced many chances to assist.

Luo Lin brought up Xinyue a few times each month.

Yet now, aware of her background, he stayed this composed and determined?

But how could Luo Lin truly remain unruffled?

Observing the Lu and Su families more closely only sharpened his sense of purpose.

During that lavish wedding, Xinyue had gazed longingly at the spectacle onstage.

Was he able to offer her such splendor yet?

If not, he'd keep pushing forward.

By the fourth year of knowing Luo Lin, Xinyue remained dutiful, her stardom climbing without pause.

Luo Lin, meanwhile, had rocketed even higher.

Building on his prior success, he dominated the movie scene this year. One film cast him as supporting actor, the other as lead. Early on, few backed him. Later, through sheer prowess, he staged a stunning comeback, landing in the top three.

The broader audience now acknowledged his talent.

Starring as the lead, Luo Lin claimed the Fei Tian Award, Eagle Award, and Golden Crown Award for Best Actor.

The very night of his triumph coincided with the wrap of Xinyue's latest film.

Xinyue rushed to gather her belongings.

A fellow actress from the production queried, 'Why pack up so soon? The wrap party is still ahead.'

'I informed the director I'd head out post-shoot. Got family stuff waiting.'

'Tell me if you're in a bind,' the actress offered warmly.

'Thanks. I can manage on my own right now.' Xinyue flushed slightly.

Family duties weren't the real reason for her early exit.

Her true aim was the awards venue that evening.

While filming mattered greatly to her, Luo Lin's accolade meant even more to him.

She hopped into her vehicle and sped directly to the ceremony site.

Upon reaching the venue, the event had wrapped up.

Her arrival drew no shock; folks grinned and said, 'Just got here, Xinyue?'

'Yeah.' Xinyue scanned the crowd eagerly for Luo Lin.

Yet he was nowhere in sight.

At last, she spotted Brother Liang. 'Brother Liang, where's Luo Lin?'

'Odd. He was around moments ago. Perhaps chatting with the judges. Want me to hunt him down?'

'No need. Forget it.'

Xinyue shook her head. A simple congrats via WeChat would do.

Right now, he'd likely be swamped with guests, no spare moment for her.

After lingering another hour, Xinyue sensed the night winding down. Feeling restless, she departed the venue and slipped into her car.

The director rang, inquiring about aid for her home issues.

'All good now. Can I make it back for the wrap party?'

'Hurry over,' the director replied gleefully.

Xinyue drove back and glimpsed Luo Lin's vehicle at the crossroads.

This was his private ride. Post-fame, he seldom drove it. Still, its modest value in tens of thousands of yuan dodged paparazzi eyes.

He noticed her as well.

In that instant, their gazes locked.

Suddenly, a horn blared from behind.

Xinyue hastened through the intersection.

Glancing in the rearview, she watched Luo Lin's car clear the crossing and veer away oppositely.

Back at the set, she messaged her WeChat congrats to Luo Lin.

His sole response: a snapshot of lily flowers. Graceful and pristine, precisely her favorites.

As she pondered its significance, the earlier actress approached, lilies in hand, exclaiming dramatically, 'Xinyue, you're back at last! Guess who dropped by?'

'Who?' Xinyue inquired offhandedly.

'Luo Lin! Luo Lin himself! Word is he met the director! But he left these lilies for you. Probably 'cause you're the star! Here, take them.'
