Spoiled Sparrow

Chen Yan had been by his side for many years and had never seen such a broken look in his eyes.

The proud Fu Chen actually lowered himself and begged for love.

His throat tightened slightly as he reminded her, "President Fu, I remember He Xunnan isn't exactly a normal person. If your wife finds out about this..."

His dark eyes lit up instantly.

The image of Ruan Qing smiling at others reappeared in his mind, his heart clenched, and a suffocating feeling like the rolling waves rushed towards him.

When did he become so jealous?

He lowered his head and chuckled softly, his voice hoarse and weak: "How could I have forgotten about this?"

He Xunnan, you must look beautiful when you have nothing.

That night, Dong Chenye made a phone call.

"Are you alright? Assistant Chen told me you're not feeling well."

Fu Chen lay on the hospital bed, trying his best to make his voice sound normal: "Don't worry, I've seen it all."

Lying next to Dong Chenye, Lin Yun'en scoffed at Fu Chen's feigned composure.

"Fu Chen, based on my understanding of Qingqing over the years, it's impossible for her to fall in love with someone else so quickly. I think there must be some misunderstanding."

Dong Chenye whispered a reminder from the side: "He saw it on the spot."

Lin Yun'en maintained her own opinion; she knew very well what kind of person her best friend was.

She can't do something like a seamless transition.

"Sometimes what you see isn't necessarily the truth."

Fu Chen didn't respond for a long time, so Lin Yun'en asked, "Feed? Is he still there?"

"Okay, I understand."

The phone was handed back to Dong Chenye, and Fu Chen asked a few questions about company matters.

He then said, "Find me someone, Louis, a psychiatrist."

Dong Chenye: "No problem, don't worry."

The next day.

"Mr. Fu, did you not sleep all night?"

Chen Yan walked over to him and noticed that he didn't seem to be in a good mood.

She had already lost 15 pounds after the car accident, and now she is even thinner.

If he were standing in front of Ruan Qing, she might not recognize him.

Fu Chen was holding a phone, but silently put it down when he saw him arrive.

"Has everything been arranged regarding the house?"

Chen Yan nodded: "It was arranged early this morning, in the apartment downstairs from my sister-in-law's."

Fu Chen frowned, seemingly displeased: "The neighboring unit wasn't rented out?"

"Someone next door is renting it out, and we offered ten times the price, but the tenant still won't move out."

We had no choice but to settle for the less desirable option and rent the apartment downstairs.

......

After Chen Yan left, Fu Chen picked up his phone; it contained photos that Ruan Qing had secretly taken with his phone.

He's changed phones quite a few times over the years, but the photos of her have always been kept in a photo album safe, known only to him.

He didn't sleep all night; every time he closed his eyes, he saw the scene from last night, and he was driven mad with jealousy.

After that night, Fu Chen suddenly realized that the love he was now longing for had been with him years ago, but he had taken it for granted and hadn't cherished it.

Ruan Qing sat on the bed and sent an email to Lin Yun'en.

When are you coming? That way I can make time to pick you up.

She glanced at the time; back home, Yun En, the champion of staying up all night, had probably just fallen asleep.

I closed my laptop, changed my clothes, and went out.

The two elevator doors opened, and the eyes of the people inside and outside met.

"Good morning."

They were those two blonde beauties from yesterday.

"We're really meant to be, how about we add each other on Facebook?"

Ruan Qing took out her phone: "Okay."

"We'll notify you in the group if there's any gossip, so don't worry, we guarantee you won't miss a single juicy tidbit."

"Thank you, thank you."

After the elevator doors opened, Ruan Qing quickly walked out.

Once she got in the car, she finally felt a sense of relief.

It's strange, I used to be an E-type person, but lately I feel like I've become an I-type person.

A short while later, Ruan Qing arrived at the place Henry had arranged.

Henry: "Wait a moment, we'll be right there."

The staff member who received her led her into the conference room.

It's not a big place, but the whole office is very well-designed. The walls on both sides of the corridor are decorated with sketches of works, making it feel like you're walking through a design exhibition.

This brush and ink seem familiar.

But I can't remember.

"Miss, please wait a moment. You can sit there for a while."

"OK, thanks."

After the person who led the way left, Ruan Qing walked up to the picture, took a picture with her phone, and was about to use image search when a sound came from outside the door.

"What are you photographing? Take it if you like."

Ruan Qing turned around at the sound, and a pair of blue eyes instantly caught her attention.

She paused slightly, then slowly put down her phone.

Henry laughed when he saw this, "What's wrong? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

Ruan Qing realized that this was work, and immediately put away her surprised expression, stepped forward and greeted, "Hello, teacher, I am Ruan Qing."

"No need to be so polite, please have a seat."

Henry told her yesterday that the person he introduced was his brother, and she never expected it to be him.

Li Bai is the youngest genius designer to win international design awards.

Henry introduced, "Miss Ruan, this is an Italian national-level designer whose Chinese name is Li Bai."

Brother, this is Ms. Ruan Qing, the friend I mentioned to you yesterday.

Li Bai nodded and got straight to the point: "Miss Ruan, I've seen your work, and I think it's very suitable. If you're willing, we can sign a contract right now."

Henry sat to the side, looking proud, his eyes practically praising him.

Ruan Qing replied politely, "Of course, it would be my honor to work with you."

She never imagined she would be so lucky to get in touch with this renowned master in the design world.

The entire collaboration went very smoothly. That afternoon, Ruan Qing had her lawyer review the contract and immediately signed the authorization agreement.

Ruan Qing: "Teacher Li, let me treat you to a meal."

Li Bai smiled and declined, "Maybe next time, I have an appointment today."

His straightforward refusal relieved Ruan Qing of any psychological burden.

Seeing him like this, he must have forgotten about her long ago.

That's good, so she won't suspect that he signed her because of Fu Chen.

Teacher Li refused, but the person next to her kept offering his services.

"Qing, don't forget our date!"

Ruan Qing packed her things: "Let's go. Since you helped me, I'll treat you to a meal."

Henry gave a wicked smile and followed Ruan Qing outside.

The voice, still youthful, asked playfully, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"

Ruan Qing kept walking: "I'll treat you to... a big slap in the face!"

"Hahahaha, what does this mean?"

Although Henry didn't understand, he smiled when he saw Ruan Qing smile.

Seeing that he genuinely didn't understand, Ruan Qing stopped joking.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to Chinese food."

Henry scurried over, opened the passenger door, and sat down.

"It's an honor to sit in the passenger seat of your sister's car."

He spoke with such seriousness, but Ruan Qing wanted to laugh.

Henry snapped, "What are you laughing at?"

No, no.

Ruan Qing started the car and gave him a look: "It's just that it's my first time being friends with Tian Di, it's very novel."

"Sweet little brother?"
