Luan Nian asked her if she wanted to travel together, and she was stunned for a long while. "When?" "Now." Luan Nian said it firmly, without a trace of teasing. "Aren't you going to the Netherlands?" "I don't have to go. Going abroad every year doesn't seem to mean much anymore." "But I already made plans with friends." Shang Zhitao said this, and hearing Luan Nian's soft "mm" in response, she thought to herself, but I want to travel with Luan Nian. She arrived at her answer just as quickly. Maybe she and Luan Nian were fundamentally the same kind of person, both drawn to adventure. "But we haven't prepared anything." "We'll drive ourselves. Two people, one dog. We'll just go. There's still plenty of time to prepare." What kind of overwhelming temptation was this? Shang Zhitao could already picture a journey full of surprises ahead of her. That trip was bound to be ju...

It wasn't until the third day of the trip that Shang Zhitao finally shook off the sense of unreality and truly felt that they were traveling. Luan Nian was a perfect example of what a road trip should be. His way of traveling was just like him: full of adventurous spirit, with a touch of willfulness. He stopped wherever he liked, without caring whether they reached that day's destination. He kept asking Shang Zhitao: "Want to stop?" "Get off the highway?" "Go explore over there?" Wild. Every time this happened, Shang Zhitao thought the word "wild" suited Luan Nian perfectly. He was wild like a beast, utterly unrestrained, dangerous and captivating. Over time, it became something she couldn't help getting used to, almost addicted to. He dressed differently while traveling than he did at work, cycling through outdoor gear, motorcycle jackets, hiking boots, all of it a pleasure to look at. Shang Zhitao tugged at the ash gray cashme...

Lingmei showed the government client what a truly professional team looked like. From how the attendees dressed to how they spoke, everything left a strong impression. As the project lead, Shang Zhitao had already visited the government officials on her own several times and communicated with them online many more times besides. She worked with care and responsibility, and had left them with a good impression. So instead of feeling that Lingmei had sent someone whose seniority didn't match the occasion, they felt Lingmei had sent its best. Luan Nian knew that behind every bit of recognition Shang Zhitao received lay a great deal of effort on her part. In his opening remarks, he said, "Today's three-party meeting is a meaningful one, since it's the first formal meeting since the contract was finalized. Ms. Shang Zhitao was sent here by the company for a long-term posting, and she was chosen after careful consideration. I'd like to properly introduce her. She is alre...

Shang Zhitao's hand still held his wrist, her palm damp. After hearing what Luan Nian said, she was still for a few seconds, then let go. She felt humiliated. Shang Zhitao couldn't understand why they could never seem to get close. The mood just now had been so good, her heart had felt warm, she'd wanted to hug him, to talk to him about all sorts of things, but one sentence from him had ruined everything. Luan Nian pulled out a tissue and wiped his hands, then got out of the car and walked a good distance, all the way to the edge of the grass, unscrewed the cap of his water bottle, and poured water over his hands to wash them. Shang Zhitao watched him and suddenly felt this whole adventurous trip hadn't amounted to much. Luan Nian had never doubted that Shang Zhitao loved him, but he minded that she wavered. He had never been a perfect man; in this relationship, he had an intense possessiveness. He got back in the car. The silence inside was strange, so quiet that ...
