“Hey, stop right there—You can’t do that! *Sigh* Okay, fine, I’ll listen and do as you say! But you can’t leave me hanging like this! You know I won’t be able to sleep if my curiosity isn’t satisfied!” Liang Han whined, pulling out his trump card.

After a moment’s silence, Shi Nian revealed, “She’s quite stupid. She won’t understand mine or her feelings without external help.”

Liang Han made a puzzled noise. Shi Nian carefully formulated his words as he said, “She doesn’t seem to believe in love. She only has work on her mind. I want to use my own method to make her understand.”

“Oh, I see what you’re getting at. Bro, you’re playing the long game. It’s just like you, Shi Nian, to take on such a high-level challenge! Alright, your pal here will do anything for you! Tell me what you need; I’ll do whatever you say!” Liang Han assured him, and Shi Nian was pleased with the promise.

Fang Xi came up to Yun Nan with a magazine, looking confused. “What is it?” Yun Nan asked and reached out for the magazine.

“There’s a picture of you and Shi Nian in there,” Fang Xi informed her. She flipped open the magazine, found the page she wanted, and pointed out said picture to Yun Nan.

Yun Nan was stunned. It was a wedding ring advert, and beside the wedding ring pictures was a beautiful photo of a man with his arms around a woman’s shoulders, head lowered as he smilingly whispered into her ear. It was obvious that they were a pair of lovers; the sweetness and affection between them were about to overflow from the photo.

It wasn’t strange to find such ads in the magazine, and the photo—from the layout to the content—was a common feature of wedding ring ads. That wasn’t the issue. What was a little unusual was that the couple’s faces weren’t shown in the photo, though more of the man’s side profile can be seen than his partner’s. However, anyone who knew Yun Nan and Shi Nian would definitely be able to recognize them, just like Fang Xi currently did.

“It’s a beautiful photo—very well taken,” Fang Xi softly commented.

“I don’t even know when this photo was taken,” Yun Nan replied, flummoxed.

She looked at Fang Xi and queried, “Is there a problem with this?”

Fang Xi shook her head. “The photo is a big hit. Everyone is awed by the fairytale couple. However, I’ve already received several calls asking if you have a boyfriend. Mr. MO also called and asked me why the couple in the photo looked a lot like you and Shi Nian.”

“*Tsk!* Why are you guys making such bold guesses when even Ican’t be sure it’s me in the photo?” Yun Nan sighed and drily retorted.

Fang Xi pointed to a ring pictured in the advert. “See this ring here?” she asked.

“The ad’s theme is ‘Love Eternal.’ I’m really impressed by the copyvvriter. Yun Nan, do you know what this feels like?”

“No. Would you care to share?” Yun Nan asked, bemused.

Fang Xi leaned against the door frame and tilted her head in thought. She uttered, “It feels like Shi Nian is shamelessly showing off his love for you to all and sundry.”

‘Huh? Yun Nan was baffled by her friend’s thought process. She shut the magazine and stuffed it into Fang Xi’s arms. “You should join the scriptwriters’ team with that storytelling talent of yours. Are you interested in writing a script for us? We could film a romance drama after we’re done with our current

project.”

Fang Xi shrugged. “You truly don’t think Shi Nian has feelings for you?” she questioned.

Yun Nan shook her head and answered frankly, “I’m quite sure he doesn’t feel anything for me. He respects the contract, and so do I! We are like-minded people, and we have an understanding!”

Fang Xi hugged the magazine to her chest and gave Yun Nan’s words some thought before smiling, “That’s true. You don’t have a single romantic cell in that brain of yours. Shi Nian will have a hard time if he has feelings for you. He has my condolences.”

Yun Nan pushed her out of her office as she said, “You should put away your overflowing sympathy. He certainly doesn’t need it.”

There was an imperceptible smile on Shi Nian’s lips as he looked at the magazine before him, spaced out. Chang Yuan coughed lightly into his fist and brought Shi Nian back to the present. Shi Nian felt slightly awkward and stated, “The jewelry that my sister-in-law designed this time is exquisite.”

Chang Yuan couldn’t hide his smile as he replied, “Your ad did most of the work. Why did you publish it through Liang Han? Wouldn’t it be better if we published it ourselves?”

Shi Nian shook his head and told him, “That would scare her off. It’s best if I get her used to the idea bit by bit.”

‘Ah, the boiling frog strategy!’ Chang Yuan thought and glanced at Shi Nian. Ever since he was young, Shi Nian would succeed at everything he set his mind to. Now, the man was using his tremendous intellect to woo his wife—it seemed he really liked Yun Nan.

“Do you plan to have everyone know about your feelings for her, get everyone onboard with the idea, and create a favorable atmosphere before confessing to her?” Chang Yuan asked.

Shi Nian didn’t say a word. “You should give her some gifts from time to time,”

Chang Yuan suggested. “Girls tend to like gifts and surprises.”

“Is that so?” Shi Nian wasn’t sure that would work with Yun Nan. Chang Yuan nodded and reassured him, “I’m certain that’s the case. Take Shi Xiu, for example.. Don’t all the boys who like her give her presents every now and then?”
