I dropped that line and quickly ran into the apartment building. Behind me, I heard Chen Shiyan's deep and pleasant laughter. Leaning against the cold wall of the elevator, I touched my burning cheeks. This was it; it seemed… I was really going to fall.
Days passed by one after another. Under my leadership, Jiang Group was thriving. The artificial intelligence project was progressing smoothly in collaboration with the Shen Group, garnering widespread attention in the industry. I had become a rising star in the business world—young, beautiful, capable, resourceful, and… single. Of course, that last status might soon change.
Because Boss Shen's pursuit was simply… too high-profile! Not to mention the usual gestures like sending flowers, gifts, and candlelit dinners. He would even graciously come to the office to bring me afternoon tea, under the pretext of "assessing the progress of our collaboration." He would show up on time downstairs when I worked late, ready to take me home. He would provide help and advice discreetly whenever I faced difficulties.
His kindness wasn't loud or ostentatious; it seeped into my life quietly, gradually occupying my heart. Everyone in the company had long seen through the "unspeakable" secret between the boss and President Shen. They had all become "gossip enthusiasts," secretly speculating every day. Even my dad had subtly asked me several times about Shen Shiyan, clearly quite satisfied with him.
Today was my twenty-third birthday. Shen Shiyan had reserved an entire sky restaurant to celebrate for me. Beneath the dazzling starry sky, the city lights spread out before us. Amidst the melodious sound of violins, it was just the two of us.
"Happy birthday," Shen Shiyan said as he handed me a velvet box.
I opened it to find a beautifully designed diamond necklace, with the main diamond shaped like the first letter of my name—"Y."
"Thank you, it's beautiful," I said sincerely.
"You like it, that's enough," he said as he fastened the necklace around my neck, its cool touch sending a shiver down my spine.
After dinner, he took my hand and led me to the terrace of the restaurant. The evening breeze brushed against us, carrying a hint of chill.
"Jiang Yao," he looked into my eyes, his gaze gentle and focused, "I've waited for you for ten years."
My heart trembled.
"From the moment you gave me that candy at Nanshan Sanatorium, you've lived in my heart."
"In the past, I didn't have the ability to get close to you; I could only watch you from afar."
"But now, I have that ability."
He knelt on one knee, pulling out a ring box from his pocket and opening it. Inside lay a dazzling diamond ring.
"Jiang Yao, give me a chance to take care of you for a lifetime, will you?"
Tears welled up in my eyes instantly. All the pain and suffering from my past life seemed to dissipate in that moment.
I looked at him, at this man who had waited for me for ten years, loved me for ten years, and silently protected me all that time.
I nodded vigorously, my voice choked with emotion, "Yes."
He smiled, his grin radiant like the stars, carefully slipping the ring onto my ring finger.
Then he stood up and pulled me tightly into his embrace.
"Thank you, Jiang Yao," he whispered in my ear.
I held him close, feeling his warm embrace and strong heartbeat.
In this new life, I not only avenged myself and built a career but also gained such a precious love.
How wonderful it is.
Leaning against him, I gazed at the distant lights of countless homes, a satisfied smile spreading across my face.
Yes, the future has opened up!
The road ahead is still long, but with him by my side, I believe that everything will get better and better. As for those who once hurt me? They have long become insignificant dust in my life. My new life as Jiang Yao has just begun. I raised my hand and gently touched the ring on my ring finger, smiling.
