Chen Li asks Xia Ting to get married, but she hesitates due to his age and Ling Xiaoxiao. Xia Ting suggests they wait until after his movie filming to inform her mother, wanting to be sure of their future. Chen Li agrees, concerned about his mother-in-law arranging dates and the unresolved issues with Ling Xiaoxiao. Both vow to keep their relationship secret for now to protect each other from public criticism.

As soon as he posted on Weibo, there were tens of thousands of comments and reposts within minutes.

His manager and the company’s official Weibo were also bombarded by fans and netizens!

Seeing the situation, Chen Li smiled; this was exactly the result he wanted!

He couldn’t believe that the company could win against these tens of millions of fans!

For the next while, he just quietly waited for the company to reach out to him.

Sure enough, fifteen minutes after the Weibo post, Sister Fei called him immediately.

Sister Fei explained that firing Xia Ting was her own decision and had nothing to do with the company.

She saw he had been scolding Xia Ting these days and wanted Xia Ting to rest well without following him.

She misunderstood that he wanted Xia Ting fired, so she made the decision for him.

She didn’t expect it was a misunderstanding, causing so much trouble, and she is very sorry.

She would personally go to ask Xia Ting to come back and wouldn’t make decisions on her own again.

Upon hearing Sister Fei’s explanation, Chen Li no longer pursued the matter.

His goal was to have Xia Ting come back; other things could be settled slowly later!

While Xia Ting was asleep, he went out to buy some food and returned.

When he came back, Xia Ting was already awake, had taken a shower, and was sitting on the couch in her bathrobe, calling Tian Xingyun.

She wanted to clear up what happened that day; otherwise, Xingyun would worry about her.

Chen Li put everything away, sat behind her, and wrapped his arms around her waist. He really, really loved this woman; he couldn’t live without her in his life.

If he really couldn’t find her this time, he would be devastated, not knowing what meaning life would have.

"Stop messing around!" Xia Ting covered the phone, turned her head, and softly warned him.

Her warning earned her a light kiss from him, a brief touch on her lips before he moved away.

Knowing she’s on the phone, he wouldn’t act recklessly now~

Xia Ting glared at him angrily and continued her conversation with Tian Xingyun.

She was happily chatting when suddenly her body stiffened, and she looked down at her chest, gritting her teeth in anger!

After speaking a few words with Tian Xingyun, she hurriedly ended the call and tossed the phone aside, ready to scold him.

Just as she opened her mouth to speak, he overpowered her, silencing her with no chance to talk.

When Xia Ting woke up again, she was in bed, and it was already dark outside.

"Awake?" Chen Li lovingly caressed her face, pulling her into his arms.

"Are you trying to starve me!!" Xia Ting was so angry her face was flushed red.

"I can’t bear it," Chen Li gently pecked her lips, smiling as he answered.

"How did I never notice how lustful you are before!"

"I hid it well!" Chen Li raised an eyebrow triumphantly, lowering his head to bring his lips close to her ear, gently kissing her ear, saying: "Actually... I wanted to do this since I was seventeen!"

"You!!" Xia Ting laughed out loud; this man is really...

She never knew he had such intentions towards her!

He started having these thoughts at seventeen; he really matured early!

"I was afraid of scaring you, so I hid it very well all along!"

"You did hide it well; I didn’t notice at all." Xia Ting leaned her head against his, her lips just touching his ear.

"I want to eat! It’s been a day since I last ate; are you trying to starve me!"

"..."

Afterward, Xia Ting had the hotel staff bring up some food.

Hungry, she ate three bowls of rice and the food Chen Li bought to feel full.

The past two days nearly starved her to death!

After eating, she yawned, feeling sleepy again, having not rested well in the past two days.

Chen Li didn’t torment her further, holding her as she peacefully fell asleep.

The past few days without her by his side, he couldn’t sleep peacefully at all.

Now that she’s beside him, he can finally rest easy.

Early the next morning.

Chen Li woke up and reached out to hold Xia Ting but found nothing; he missed her.
