A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

The engine was off, but the dim yellow light inside the car was still on, and the music was still playing softly.

The atmosphere was so ambiguous it was almost palpable.

Although Ding Hanhan had made up her mind, when Gu Feng actually sat down in front of her and she realized what was about to happen, she couldn't help but feel flustered and her breathing became rapid and shallow.

A thin blush crept onto her delicate, pink face, and she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.

Those eyes, usually so cold and aloof, were now misty and alluring, captivating the soul.

Now that she was prepared to be at his mercy, Gu Feng truly had no reason to pretend to be stupid or act like a gentleman anymore.

He's not like Liu Xiahui, who remained unmoved even with a woman in his lap.

He reached out and pulled that soft body tightly into his arms.

But at the crucial moment, he stopped again.

"What's wrong?" Ding Hanhan asked. Her tone was so gentle that even she couldn't believe it.

"Ding Hanhan, will you regret this?" Gu Feng looked at her earnestly.

"Silly boy. If I were going to regret it, I wouldn't have lured you here." She chuckled softly and whispered, "Besides, regret is always better than a lifetime of regret. Don't say anything... kiss me."

Ice is proud because it is cold!

Blue is enchanting because of its coldness.

Tonight, however, this feeling is so intense that it cannot be dissolved.

……

……

After it was all over, Ding Hanhan recalled their past acquaintance and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"What are you laughing at?" Gu Feng asked curiously.

"I don't know either. It's just that when I think about how we used to bicker and fight, like we were incompatible, it's like our horoscopes were clashing. But now... we're so close together." There was emotion in her words, but also a hint of sadness.

"Yes. Nothing in this world is absolute. There are many things that no one can predict. I never thought that in the end, I would actually end up sleeping with you." Gu Feng also sighed.

"Such a beautiful night, couldn't you have put it more tactfully? What's with all this 'getting on top' stuff? It sounds awful." Ding Hanhan gave him a gentle, reproachful look, and lightly pinched him with her finger. "Besides, if we're really talking about who got on top of whom, it should be said that I got on top of you. Have you forgotten? I'm the one who lured you here."

"Uh..." Gu Feng was speechless for a moment. It's already like this, why bother arguing? Isn't the result the same anyway?

"Gu Feng, are we... in a relationship right now?" Ding Hanhan asked uncertainly.

"Well, that doesn't have to do with it. But you'll have to pay me two hundred dollars."

Why?

"I've taken the money, so I'll pretend nothing happened."

"You—you're asking for it!" Ding Hanhan raised her small fist and gently punched his chest, scolding, "Don't be so indecent."

The icy beauty could actually have such a gentle and shy demeanor. Gu Feng was somewhat mesmerized by her appearance and couldn't help but cup her face in his hands, kissing her tenderly again and again: "Ding Hanhan, I really love you just like this."

Ding Hanhan quieted down, completely immersed in this love affair, with a tender intoxication in her heart. "I feel like I'm in a dream right now. It wasn't easy to meet you and fall in love with you; but to understand you and see through you is even harder. Now—I don't even dare to think about what I would do if I left you, forgot you, or lost you."

"Then don't leave," Gu Feng said with a smile.

"Mmm." Ding Hanhan nodded seriously, extending her slender fingers to gently stroke his firm chest.

As she gently stroked him, Gu Feng closed his eyes comfortably, and eventually, he fell into a deep sleep...

When he woke up, Ding Hanhan was still nestled beside him. The sky was already at its darkest point before dawn. It seemed she hadn't slept a wink all night; her eyes were slightly red and swollen, as if she had been crying.

"Why aren't you asleep?" Gu Feng felt a pang of pain in his heart and gently reached out to embrace her slender waist, which was as smooth as silk.

"I can't sleep," Ding Hanhan said, her voice slightly hoarse.

"Does it hurt?"

"Hmm." She frowned slightly.

Gu Feng quickly stopped what he was doing, lowered his head and gently kissed her smooth forehead. "Hanhan, from now on, you are my woman."

Ding Hanhan gave a soft "hmm," then sighed, "Being your woman is truly blissful. I deeply regret my past self, being so stubborn and aloof. It's a pity—we probably won't be able to be together often anymore."

"Huh? How could that be? We're in the same class, and we go to and from school together. If you want..." Gu Feng smiled mischievously, "Anyway, there's a partition in the back of this car, so no one outside can see in. The road home is so long, we have plenty of time, we can be affectionate anytime. Even those ten minutes between classes are fine."

"You're so naughty." Ding Hanhan pinched him lightly, then laughed, but her brows furrowed deeply.

"What's wrong?" Gu Feng finally realized that something seemed amiss.

"Feng, do you know? I'm dropping out of school." Ding Hanhan said, tears streaming down her face again.

"Why..." Gu Feng had barely uttered the words when he suddenly realized something.

He remembered what his advisor had told him: the Yihe Gang has grown to the point where it cannot function without a leader. Although Ding Lisheng is not in immediate danger, having been shot three times, it is almost impossible for him to return to his former state of being able to speak, fight, kill, and command tens of thousands of people.

Even if there is a chance of something going wrong, it will still be a long and grueling period.

The Ding family can afford to wait, but the various leaders and subordinates within and outside the Yihe Gang may not be so patient.

The Yi Ho Gang was built by Ding Lisheng and is now a behemoth of a corporation. It is understandable that his son would inherit the business from his father.

But right now, there is only one insurmountable barrier standing in front of everyone—Ding Hanhan is a woman.

However, Gu Feng did not know that the person who was originally supposed to take over Ding Lisheng's chair was not Ding Hanhan, but Gu Feng himself.

Because Ding Lisheng's "hospital molestation scandal" was a complete disaster, she is now the one being forced into this situation.

"You...are you really going to take over your father's position?" Gu Feng asked with difficulty.

"Yes. The advisor said that my father's last words as he fell to the ground after being shot were—regardless of whether he survives or not, he must help me up. It's just that this news hasn't been announced yet." Ding Hanhan nodded, raising her eyes to gaze deeply at him. "If I could, I really wish I could turn back time, even if it's just like before, arguing and bickering with you. As long as I can be with you, I'll be happy. But you should understand—I have no choice."

Gu Feng nodded silently. If the Yihe Gang, as a family business, absolutely needed a member of the Ding family to inherit it, then Ding Hanhan was undoubtedly the only candidate.

Although it seems like a joke to everyone that a twenty-year-old girl should lead a group of tens of thousands of people, and her rise to power is destined to be fraught with obstacles and difficulties, it is indeed a responsibility that she cannot escape or shirk.

"Feng, from now on, we won't be able to be together anymore." Ding Hanhan hugged his shoulders tightly, her tone full of helplessness and sorrow.

"Hanhan, don't be sad. It's not that we can't be together, it's just that we can't be together all the time. It's not like we're going to die. As long as we both live well, there will always be opportunities." At this moment, Gu Feng could only use such clumsy words to comfort her.

Ding Hanhan nodded in strong agreement: "Yes. As long as you're alive, there will always be a chance."

"Mmm." Gu Feng hugged her even tighter, his heart filled with tenderness!

"Feng... do you still want to?" Ding Hanhan looked at him with seductive eyes.

"what?"

"From now on... we can't be together like this every day anymore."

Looking at her delicate brows furrowed in pain, Gu Feng couldn't bear to be so selfish.

Love, sometimes, can't be about focusing too much on yourself.

He wrapped his arms around her. "No, let's just stay here quietly until dawn, okay?"

"Mmm." Ding Hanhan nodded gently, her heart filled with emotion. What saddened her even more was the impending separation.

From this day forward, she and he will no longer be on the same path.

From now on, he will be a respected and praised angel in white; while she will only be a notorious female hooligan.

Thinking of this, her tears started falling again.

"Hanhan, let's not cry anymore, okay?" Gu Feng tenderly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes again and again.

"I don't want to cry, but I can't control myself. I regret it so much now—I regret not treating you well before, I regret not giving myself to you sooner, and I even bit you like that." Ding Hanhan touched the tooth mark on his shoulder, which had healed but left a scar, and choked up as she spoke.

She knew better than anyone else that from now on, she would probably only dare to show this vulnerable side to this man.

"It's not too late, not at all. We're still young, and—we're still alive, aren't we?"

Gu Feng tenderly kissed her rosy cheeks, but in his heart he sighed again and again at the cruel twist of fate.

She is also a girl with flesh and blood, feelings and love.

But starting today, we're going to plunge headlong into all that fighting, scheming, and deceit—isn't that a bit too cruel?

The pure and gentle music of Bandari still floated softly in the carriage.

The melody, which should have been light and pleasant, now evoked a lingering sadness in the ears of the two.

In fact, given their current mood, even if they were listening to "Xi Shuashua," they probably wouldn't hear a trace of joy in their ears.

When it was finally time to leave the tree-lined path, Gu Feng wanted to take Ding Hanhan home first, but she insisted on taking Gu Feng back to Bolan Street first.

"Feng, listen to me, okay? From today onwards, I truly have to stand up on my own. You can help me for a while, but you can't help me forever. There are some things I can only bear myself." Ding Hanhan said this to him as the Bentley slowly stopped at the intersection of Portland Street.

"But this is the most turbulent time right now, it's too dangerous for you to be alone." Gu Feng's heart was in his throat.

"It's okay. No matter how dangerous it is ahead, I can only keep moving forward. Don't worry, I will protect myself and never let anyone hurt me."

Her voice remained gentle, yet it carried an unmistakable air of resolve.

She put her clothes back on, but instead of turning her back on her, her eyes held a newfound resolve and a touch of coldness. She spoke more decisively and resolutely than before.

Overnight, Ding Hanhan transformed from a naive girl into a real woman.

Gu Feng witnessed and even participated in her transformation.

He was delighted to see that she had finally grown up.

What weighed heavily on his heart was that, even though they had been intimate, the distance between them felt ever greater. Perhaps from this day forward, they would each go their own way.

Everyone will meet different people at different times.

Some people disappear in a flash; while others leave an indelible mark.

Those traces, instead of fading with the passage of time, become clearer and clearer, never to be forgotten.

Whether it's Gu Feng's relationship with Ding Hanhan, or Ding Hanhan's relationship with Gu Feng, neither of them will be a fleeting passerby in the other's life. And their story, their bond, will not end because of what happened last night.

On the contrary—from this fork in the road ahead, the real curtain has only just been raised.
