Ruan Zhao watched as Ni Xuanyi gradually approached. Suddenly, he felt a kind of extravagant desire. He wanted to see Ni Xuanyi and hoped that she would also want to see him. Perhaps, Ni Xuanyi still loved him and could不顧一切地跟他離開。

There is a type of love in the world which makes one feel despair yet keeps hope alive. This kind of love is endless and has no right or wrong; it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. Originally, Ruan Zhao had the ambition of a lion, but his heart was long ago captured by Ni Xuanyi. At this moment, he did not have any other thoughts, only an unusual desire to see Ni Xuanyi, and an extraordinary power sustained him, making him determined to find a way to meet Ni Xuanyi.

Ni Xuanyi walked into the pizzeria with Li Yi. The shop was decorated in a rustic style, with soothing music playing inside, creating a very cozy environment. Ni Xuanyi chose a window-side seat, and Li Yi ordered food for her while they talked.

Halfway through their meal, Li Yi's phone rang. To reduce the radiation from his cell phone affecting Ni Xuanyi, he told her that he would step out to take the call.

At this moment, a waiter brought Ni Xuanyi a cup of milk tea. She was curious because she hadn't ordered any milk tea. When she looked down, there was a note on the tray:

The note had no signature or date; it contained a poem by Yeats, "When You Are Old":

When you are old, with white hair and drowsing by the fire,

Taking down this book to read before the fire,

Dreaming of the soft look your eyes once had,

Of their shadows deep.

Took pleasure in your beauty, whether in truth or deceit,

Only one loved the pilgrim’s heart within you,

The sorrow of the years, stooping at ease to thine hair.

Bending over the stove-rack, with a sigh,

Whispering slightly aggrieved,

How love would pass and climb its way up into mountain ranges,

To hide its face among a thousand stars.

Ni Xuanyi’s heart quivered upon seeing the handwriting on the letter; she recognized it as Ran Zhao’s penmanship. She was also familiar with this poem, which was penned by the great poet Yeats to express his lifelong unrequited love for Maud Gonne.

Yeats’ devotion to Maud Gonne moved countless people, yet he couldn’t win over his beloved girl's heart. When Yeats fell deeply in love with Maud Gonne at first sight, she regarded his affection disdainfully and ultimately refused to attend his funeral.

The world often plays such tricks on lovers; those who are loved always end up loving others instead. Ran Zhao’s feelings for Ni Xuanyi bore a striking resemblance to Yeats’ love for Maud Gonne, both equally sorrowful.

As Ni Xuanyi gazed at the letter, misty vapor welled up in her eyes. The handwriting on it was hurried and sloppy; she wondered how Ran Zhao had known where she was. Could he be nearby

Ni Xuanyi hurriedly turned her head to look out the window and saw a tall man standing not far away.

He was wearing jeans and a white shirt, with a hat and glasses. Although he had dressed up, Ni Xuanyi still recognized him as Ruan Zhao at first sight and couldn't help waving at him outside.

Ruan Zhao looked at Ni Xuanyi and gave her a sad smile, nodding slightly at her. He stared at Ni Xuanyi for a while but realized how ridiculous he was when she just watched him without any intention of coming out to see him.

If Ni Xuanyi still had feelings for him, why would she have followed Li Yi and married him to travel around the world happily

Ruan Zhao calmed down from his excitement, and the hope that had risen turned into despair. He waved at Ni Xuanyi, then turned around and walked alone into the crowd.

Seizing the opportunity when Li Yi wasn't back yet, Ni Xuanyi quickly picked up the letter, crumpled it into a ball in her hand, and couldn't help but turn to look again at that man walking alone on the street for her, unable to forget about her.

No woman would ever forget anyone who loved her or whom she had loved.

When Li Yi called back, Ni Xuanyi had already finished eating and was slowly sipping juice with her head lowered.

"Xuanyuan, are you full" Li Yi asked her with a smile.

"I'm full, Brother Li Yi. I'm tired and want to go back home," Ni Xuanyi said while still thinking about the sudden appearance of Ruan Zhao earlier. After the initial excitement and surprise had subsided, she felt slightly worried that Ruan Zhao might not let it rest and harm her or Li Yi.

"Sure." Li Yi settled the bill and took Ni Xuanyi home.

Ni Xuanyi stepped out of the bakery and looked around. She didn’t see Nuan Zhao on the street, which made her feel uneasy. Nuan Zhao was not a typical person; his unpredictable behavior could be very unsettling.

"Xuanxuan, what are you thinking about" Li Yi noticed Ni Xuanyi’s distracted demeanor.

“Ah! Nothing.” Ni Xuanyi forced a smile and then asked, “Brother Yi, did you bring any bodyguards for our trip”

"Yes, why do you ask" Li Yi tilted his head to look at Ni Xuanyi's face carefully.

“We’re in an unfamiliar place, I’m worried that something might happen…” Ni Xuanyi’s expression showed her unease.

"Don’t worry, everything will be taken care of. Let’s go home and get some rest." Li Yi sensed the change in Ni Xuanyi but didn't want to press further. Being smart, he knew there were many ways to find out the truth without putting pressure on his wife.

When they returned home, Ni Xuanyi obediently went upstairs to rest while Li Yi said that he needed to make some phone calls about company business. She happily let him do so because she needed time alone.

In her bedroom, Ni Xuanyi didn’t immediately go to sleep; instead, she stood by the window looking outside for Nuan Zhao, but after a long while, she saw no sign of him.

Leaning on the windowsill, Ni Xuanyi recalled Nuan Zhao's sad smile and felt heartache. She truly felt guilty toward him.

Li Yi quickly found out about the restaurant waiter delivering a note to Ni Xuanyi. Without much thought, he deduced that the person who had sent the note was Nuan Zhao. Although he didn’t know what the message said, Li Yi was very angry; he didn't want anything or anyone to disrupt his peaceful life with Ni Xuanyi.

Li's family wielded significant influence here as well. Li Yi immediately dispatched people to search for Nuan Zhao. Soon enough, his men spotted Nuan Zhao at the airport.throw himself onto Li An.Ming Zixi originally had hair that was neither too long nor too short.
