Xia Ting resigns as Chen Li's assistant, believing he no longer needs her and has pushed her away. However, Chen Li is furious, as he only wanted her to rest and did not intend for her to leave. He frantically tries to find her and enlists the help of his fans to locate her.

Chen Li’s search for an assistant immediately made headlines on Weibo.

Everyone was helping him look, and Xia Ting’s photo was spreading online.

Back at the company, Chen Li lost his temper with the executives!

He wanted to terminate the contract immediately, and he could pay the penalty!

He absolutely couldn’t tolerate his personal assistant being dismissed without his consent!

The news of his search for an assistant was causing a huge stir online, but Xia Ting had no idea the whole world was looking for her.

She was on her way to Huatan Village, as she had received a text from Xingyun a few days ago asking her to help with flower arrangements.

Originally, she planned to tell Chen Li that she’d take a day off to help Xingyun, but now it seemed unnecessary to mention it.

She was already free...

Upon reaching Huatan Village, the villagers told her to go to the hotel to find Xingyun.

At the same time, she learned that Xingyun was actually getting married!

Moreover, she had already given birth to a daughter, which shocked her greatly!

What shocked her even more was that Xingyun’s husband was Huo Group’s general manager, Huo Shaohua!

Goodness, this news was simply explosive!

She arrived at the hotel, and Tian Xingyun was busy with flower arranging.

She picked up scissors and started working, chatting with Xingyun happily while arranging flowers.

It felt like going back to the days when they worked together part-time; it was really nice.

When they finished and rested, Tian Xingyun also told her about what had happened recently.

Xingyun was truly fortunate to marry Huo Shaohua, ensuring a life of comfort for her and her daughter.

It’s just a bit regrettable that Huo Shaohua doesn’t love Xingyun, and they will eventually divorce.

This makes one both angry and regretful.

Xingyun is such a good woman, yet Huo Shaohua doesn’t appreciate her.

Although she feels it’s unfair to Xingyun, it’s ultimately Xingyun’s private matter, so she can’t say much.

Besides, the situation between Xingyun and Huo Shaohua is too complicated, with Song Yi’s existence, so it’s hard to comment.

After helping at the hotel for two days, they were busy at noon.

Suddenly, someone appeared behind her, and she turned her head to look.

It was... Chen Li!

How did he end up here, and how did he know she was here?

Chen Li was wearing a baseball cap, pulled down very low, only his chin visible.

Before Xia Ting could react, he walked over, grabbed her arm, and pulled her away.

He didn’t give her a chance to speak or resist, and she didn’t dare call his name.

If someone discovered his presence here, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Chen Li dragged her to a hotel room, closed the door, and locked it.

The room lights were on, and the curtains were drawn.

Xia Ting shook off his hand angrily and said, "What are you doing? Open the door and let me out!"

"Playing hard to get? When I pulled you up, you could have broken free!" Chen Li sneered, taking off his hat and throwing it to the ground.

Xia Ting was too angry to speak and stormed toward the door.

After just two steps, Chen Li caught up, grabbed her shoulders, and pinned her to the wall.

Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Chen Li kissed her, silencing her.

She was shocked, eyes wide in disbelief. What was he doing?!

Stunned by the surprise, she forgot to struggle, stupidly letting him kiss her.

Not until a sharp pain in her neck snapped her back to reality.

She struggled in shame and anger, only to find his grip tightening.

"What are you doing!"

"That’s a question I should be asking you; what exactly do you want to do?!" Chen Li said, one hand on her shoulder, the other gripping her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"Let go of me!" Xia Ting turned her head but couldn’t break free from his grasp.

"Isn’t it marriage you want? I’m willing to marry you!" Chen Li said, his eyes red and locked onto hers.

She wanted marriage, so he would marry her!

He had never thought of marrying anyone else; she had always been in his heart.
