Xia Wanyuan apologizes to Xuan Sheng for his past suffering, but he insists she owes him nothing and has brought light and redemption into his dark world. They exchange brief words about Lu Li before parting, with Xuan Sheng watching her reunite with Jun Shiling. Delayed on his return, Xuan Sheng finds a masked woman waiting anxiously at the hotel, who subtly inquires about Xia Wanyuan's happiness.

Xuan Sheng extended his hand to grasp the woman's, yet she quickly evaded it.

"Don't be like this." The woman managed a strained smile toward Xuan Sheng. "I know my status very well. CEO Xuan, you don't have to pity me."

Upon hearing her words, Xuan Sheng abruptly spun around, gazing at her from an incredibly close range.

Taken aback, she encountered Xuan Sheng's profound stare. Her breath hitched, and evident panic flickered in her eyes.

"It's been so long, yet you're still reluctant to reveal your name." Xuan Sheng smiled. "Why? Is your name that precious?"

"Didn't I already say that my name is Sheng Yi?"

"I've checked. That's not your real name." Xuan Sheng's eyes grew darker. "When will you be willing to tell me your real name??"

Sheng Yi raised her eyes to Xuan Sheng's face, her heart twisting painfully. In that instant, she almost lost control of her feelings, yet years of rigid self-discipline held her back. "My name is Sheng Yi."

"Mm." Xuan Sheng stepped back. "I get it. Let's drop this. What do you want to eat?"

"Anything is fine."

"Okay, since you enjoy fish, I'll have the chef prepare steamed fish and deliver it today."

They talked while heading inside. Xuan Sheng showed no secrecy about his connection to the woman, boldly holding her arm.

Watching this sight, everyone had long grown accustomed to it.

Over the past ten years, they'd witnessed far too much. From early astonishment to today's composure, they now fully embraced such moments.

Nearly everyone was aware that over a decade ago, a completely disabled woman stayed by Xuan Sheng's side. She had endured hundreds of operations, large and small. The entire medical field recognized that her grave injuries held no chance of recovery. She was fated to carry scars across her whole body for life.

At the start, folks assumed Xuan Sheng took her everywhere for treatments purely from compassion.

But afterward, each year, he publicly proposed to this woman.

His very first proposal to her happened at Glory World Corporation's annual meeting. Xuan Sheng presented the diamond ring and dropped to one knee before the black-robed woman. She fled the scene.

That event back then topped the trending charts for a whole month, revealing just how stunned the nation's netizens were.

As Xuan Sheng's proposals multiplied over time, people became habituated. Their reactions evolved from shock into heartfelt blessings.

Truth be told, a man of Xuan Sheng's caliber deserved any woman globally. Still, for more than ten years, he'd kept the black-robed woman at his side without ever scorning her.

This devotion moved countless netizens.

At present, as Xuan Sheng addressed the woman with gentle patience, endless envious and jealous stares fell upon her.

Feeling those intricate looks from the crowd, the woman softly sighed. "It's been more than ten years. Why must you guard a broken person like me? CEO Xuan, you should have a better choice."

Xuan Sheng pivoted to gaze at her, speaking with deep meaning, "Do you know why I'm so persistent and insistent?"

"Why??"

"Because there was once a person who taught me what perseverance and persistence are."

"Is it Miss Xia?"

"No." Xuan Sheng smiled. "She's a very brave and silly girl."
