Li Yi believes in love but dares not touch it.

The cautionary tales of his father and Li An have made him fearful, so he treats all women equally to avoid any complications. He doesn't want to invest his precious and rare emotions into anyone until he met Ni Xuanyi.

When he's with Ni Xuanyi, he feels a profound peace within himself. Through her eyes, he sees the true self that lost its original form. Being with her strips away the worldly atmosphere, making life incredibly pure.

After struggling with his feelings and enduring for so long, Li Yi finally decides to accept Ni Xuanyi's affection and be with her.

He thinks Ni Xuanyi is young and doesn't want to put too much pressure on her. He believes she loves him firmly without needing excessive declarations from him. They seem to understand each other implicitly, so he hasn't spoken his feelings out loud. But after just one visit, everything between them changed drastically.

He thought he was the best person in the world for Ni Xuanyi, yet he knew so little about her that she chose someone else.

After returning to his office from visiting Ni Xuanyi at the hospital, Li Yi stood silently by his desk for a long time. The empty office was eerily quiet, and suddenly he felt lost, wondering what all his efforts over the years were for.

Over these years, he has been seizing every moment to work tirelessly, constantly expanding the Li family's empire. Both his father and mother have tried persuading him that money can never be earned indefinitely and that one should know how to enjoy life.

But he was still immersed in his career, running around every day and finding that time never seemed enough, thus neglecting many beautiful sights and people around him.

Liyi originally thought that money and power could not buy one thing: time. Now he knows they can't even buy the kind of feelings he wants.

The words Ni Xuanyi said echoed in his mind, "This is Ruan Zhao, my boyfriend..." Those calm sentences now felt like sharp blades torturing him slowly.

Suddenly, Liyi grabbed the documents on his desk and threw them fiercely against the wall opposite. He felt as if a huge stone was blocking his chest and lungs, making it hard to breathe.

He always reacted late when it came to matters of love. He couldn't figure out why Ni Xuanyi would suddenly decide to leave him and become Ruan Zhao's girlfriend even though he had treated her well enough.

Liyi didn't expect that the problem lay with the announcement of his engagement to Tang Moli.

A few months ago, Tang Moli’s family faced a traitor who leaked out a large amount of their commercial secrets, causing unprecedented crisis. Tang Moli's father could only turn to his friend Li Haonan for help.

Li Haonan generously agreed to assist the Tang family, and Tang Moli's father hoped that Tang Moli would become engaged and marry Liyin, since business people around the world were wary of the Li Family. If they married into the Li family, their commercial empire would no longer face any collapse.

Tang Moli had long admired Liyi, and when she heard her father’s suggestion, she was overjoyed and immediately asked her father to invite Li Haonan's couple and Liyin for a visit at home.

Li Haonan and Gu Xiaobei knew that Li Yi was an adult with his own views and ideas. Previously, he had been indifferent to emotions and showed no desire to start a family. Now, with Ni Xuanyi in his life, they hesitated to agree貿虎ang Lei Yitang's proposal貿虎.

After arriving at the Tang family residence, Li Yi politely rejected the suggestion upon hearing it. He informed them that he had no intention of getting married or starting a family right now, causing Tang Molí to look dejected.

Li Yi agreed to invest in the Tang family, but Mr. Tang believed money alone couldn't solve everything and prevent stock prices from falling. Thus, he hoped Li Yi would pretend to become engaged to Tang Molí, which would greatly increase public trust in the Tang Corporation.

The relationship between Li Haonan and the Tang family was very good. Upon hearing that Li Yi refused to marry Tang Molí, they felt awkward but thought pretending to be engaged might be a compromise solution, so they agreed on his behalf.

Li Yi personally didn't like the idea of a fake engagement, but since his father had already consented to Mr. Tang's request, he reluctantly agreed.

In Li Yi's insistence, only an announcement was published in the newspaper about his engagement with Tang Molí, followed by a symbolic engagement party. He believed this would keep things discreet; no matter what, Ni Xuanyi across the ocean wouldn't find out.

Due to time differences, he had called Ni Xuanyi only a few times when abroad. Sometimes she was asleep and missed his calls, other times she was at work and couldn't answer conveniently. Occasionally they managed to chat smoothly, but Ni Xuanyi never mentioned anything, giving him no hint that she now had a new boyfriend.

Li Yi thought Ni Xuanyi would stay by his side for life, accepting his care and concern.

Now, however, Ni Xuanyi actually had a boyfriend!

Li Yi, who had always been successful since his childhood, felt defeated for the first time. For all these years, Ni Xuanyi had been pursuing and pampering him; now that she suddenly changed direction and no longer wanted him, his self-esteem was truly struggling to cope.

Li Yi無數次地想要衝去醫院，揪住倪暄漪問個清楚，問她到底是怎麼想的，為什麼突然不要他了？那之前對她那麼好乾什麼？當他把心交給她時，她竟然把它丟在一旁，這樣戲弄他很好玩嗎？

Li Yi was very confident, having had years of experience in the business world. He believed he could handle any situation and deal with various unexpected events, but when faced with Ni Xuanyi's sudden betrayal, Li Yi felt completely lost.

The next day, Li Yi went to work as usual, thinking that perhaps there was still a chance for him to ask Ni Xuanyi about the reasons behind her actions. However, Ni Xuanyi submitted her resignation letter.

Li Yi held Ni Xuanyi's resignation letter and slowly crumpled it into pieces.

Since when did倪暄漪 no longer love him Since when did she decide to leave

He sent people to investigate the previously unremarkable Ran Zhao, only to find out that Ni Xuanyi had been living in a villa given to her by Ran Zhao these past few days. Though he knew that Ran Zhao didn't stay there every night, Li Yi's heart was still filled with jealousy.

He didn't believe that Ni Xuanyi would change her feelings because of a house. The most likely reason was that Ran Zhao and Ni Xuanyi came from the same place, sharing common topics to talk about, and Ran Zhao had time to spend with Ni Xuanyi, pampering her—things Li Yi couldn't do.

Li Yi was consumed by jealousy; he had guarded against everything in fear of following his father and brother's path one day. Yet in the end, he still ended up heartbroken over a woman just like them.cking out light below into pitch blackness, making it hard to see anything even with sunlight outside, blocked by the lush secondary growth of these ancient forests.He weakly swallowed his saliva; his...
