Fu...Yanchen, why...are you here? Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the familiar figure at the door of her house - Fu Yanchen, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, with surprise and confusion intertwined in her eyes.

The light shone on his body, giving him a faint golden glow, but it also revealed the fatigue and apology that was hard to conceal between his brows.

Her gaze unconsciously slid to her feet, where there were piles of cigarette butts scattered around, like silent witnesses, silently telling the length and torment of the wait.

A complex emotion suddenly surged in Xu Xiaoxiao's heart. She knew that he might have been waiting for this moment of meeting for a long time, long enough for countless cigarette butts to turn into ashes and cover this small space.

"I...was walking and walking, and before I knew it, I was at your doorstep." Fu Yanchen's voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed that even he himself could not believe this involuntary concern.

He looked up at Xu Xiaoxiao, his eyes flashing with sincerity and desire, "Xiaoxiao, I'm really sorry about what happened a few days ago. At that time, I just wanted to be with you for a few more days, so I impulsively chose to pretend to be sick. But please believe me, it was not entirely a lie, I was indeed injured, but... after my injury recovered, I continued to lie to you, which was my fault. Xiaoxiao, can you forgive me?"

At this point, Fu Yanchen's tone was filled with deep self-blame and uneasiness. He was like a child waiting for trial, nervously waiting for Xu Xiaoxiao's response. He continued:

"I just wanted to come and see you and make sure you got home safely. I'm relieved to see that you are okay. I promise that this will never happen again. If you want, I can leave immediately and not disturb your life anymore."

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the man in front of her who once made her heart beat but now made her feel distressed, and she felt mixed emotions.

She could feel the sincerity and regret in his words, but the pain of being deceived still hurt.

After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice: "Fu Yanchen, how can I say hello to you? Trust is so important between us, but you..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Xiaoxiao sighed softly with a complicated look in her eyes.

She knew that this relationship was already full of cracks because of this lie, but her heart did not seem to have completely closed the door to her feelings for him.

She needed time to think and decide on the next path. At this moment, facing the man standing at her door with eyes full of expectation, she could only give an ambiguous answer: "Give me some time, Fu Yanchen, I need time to sort out my feelings and think clearly about what should happen between us."

Hearing this, Fu Yanchen's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but more of understanding and respect. He nodded gently and said, "Okay, I will wait for you, no matter how long it takes. I just hope that when you are ready, you can give me a chance and let us start over."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but after taking a few steps, he turned back and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao deeply, as if he wanted to engrave this moment in his heart forever.

Then, he resolutely walked out of Xu Xiaoxiao's house and left Xu Xiaoxiao.

"and many more."

Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly called out to Fu Yanchen who was about to leave. Fu Yanchen paused, and a sense of joy welled up in his heart. Could it be that Xu Xiaoxiao wanted to keep him? He turned around expectantly, and his voice could not hide his excitement: "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Fu Yanchen's expectant eyes and felt a little reluctant, but she still mustered up the courage and said, "Um...I want to ask you something?"

"Yeah! Say it!"

Fu Yanchen responded immediately, his eyes full of concentration and seriousness, as if every word of Xu Xiaoxiao was crucial.

Xu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and seemed to find it difficult to speak: "Um... I heard that your company is recruiting an administrative supervisor these days, right?"

Fu Yanchen was slightly startled when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded with a smile: "Well! Xiaoxiao, are you coming? If so, I can ask Lin Nuo to arrange it immediately."

Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head with an awkward smile on her face: "It's not me, it's Sister Na's husband. I think his resume meets the requirements of your company, so I want to recommend him. He is very capable and is also a senior executive in his current company, but he often travels and has no time to take care of his family. So, he wants to change jobs, you see... Of course, if it doesn't work, just pretend I didn't say anything."

As she spoke, Xu Xiaoxiao kept rubbing her fingers on her clothes, looking a little guilty.

She knew that doing so might make Fu Yanchen feel embarrassed, but she couldn't help but want to fight for this opportunity for Sister Na's husband.

Fu Yanchen looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's nervous expression and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He seemed to see the innocent, kind and lovely Xiaoxiao from her childhood. Although it was not her who came, the fact that she would ask him for help now proved that she had begun to trust him. That was great.

He nodded and said, "Okay, let him come over, I'll make the arrangements."

Xu Xiaoxiao's face immediately lit up with a bright smile when she heard this: "Really? That's great! Thank you!"

Fu Yanchen looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's happy smile and felt extremely satisfied and happy in his heart.

He knew that he could do something for Xu Xiaoxiao, even if it was just such a small thing, it was enough to make him feel extremely happy.

"You're welcome, Xiaoxiao. As long as you're happy, I'm happy."

Fu Yanchen said gently, his eyes full of affection and doting for Xu Xiaoxiao.

"Go home early! You must not have slept well last night. You have panda eyes."

Fu Yanchen looked at the slightly haggard Xu Xiaoxiao, his tone full of heartache and concern.

His eyes were full of tenderness, as if he wanted to use his gaze to wipe away all of Xu Xiaoxiao's fatigue and worries.

Xu Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned when she heard this, then she lowered her head and touched her eye sockets somewhat embarrassedly.

She indeed did not sleep well last night, and she kept thinking about Fu Yanchen and Na Jie's husband's work.

However, she didn't expect that her fatigue would be so obvious that Fu Yanchen could see it at a glance.

"I...I'm fine."

Xu Xiaoxiao said softly, trying to hide her embarrassment.

However, her voice seemed to be trembling, and she was obviously lying.

Fu Yanchen looked at her and felt even more distressed. He knew that Xu Xiaoxiao had always been worrying about him and the people around her and had never really relaxed.

He gently held Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, you don't need to be so strong. Sometimes, you can also relax yourself and don't always think so much about others. You also have to learn to take care of yourself, understand?"

Xu Xiaoxiao felt the warmth in Fu Yanchen's palm, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

She looked up at Fu Yanchen without saying anything. Fu Yanchen looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of doting and affection: "As long as you are willing, I will always be by your side. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will face them with you."

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say, so she just stood there without saying anything.

"Then I'll go back first. You should also go to bed early." Fu Yanchen said with a hint of reluctance in his tone.

However, he knew that Xu Xiaoxiao also needed to rest and could not always stay with him.

"Okay," Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, then turned and left.

Fu Yanchen stood where he was, watching her figure gradually go away until she disappeared from his sight.

His heart was filled with longing and concern for Xu Xiaoxiao, but he also understood that as long as their hearts were together, distance was not a problem.

The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on the earth.

Na's husband went to the company to apply for the job with a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

Because of Xu Xiaoxiao's special attention, everything seemed to go much more smoothly.

Fu Yanchen had already issued instructions in advance, so the relevant personnel in the company naturally did not dare to neglect them.

Therefore, from resume review to interview, and then to the final onboarding procedures, each step progressed extremely quickly.

It seemed as if there was an invisible hand pushing the entire process forward, making Na Jie's husband's employment a natural process.

At this time, Sister Na was still in the hospital. After a detailed examination, the doctor recommended that she and her daughter be hospitalized for observation and treatment for a week.

Faced with such an arrangement, the mother and daughter felt a little helpless, but they also knew the importance of health and could only obey the doctor's instructions.

When Sister Na learned that her husband had found a new job so quickly, and in the famous Fu Group, her heart was filled with gratitude.

It's obvious that Xu Xiaoxiao's enthusiastic help was indispensable behind this. Thinking of this, Sister Na's eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly...

The early morning sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and onto Sister Na's hospital bed.

Sister Na looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and felt a warmth in her heart.

She turned to look at her daughter beside her. The little one was sleeping sweetly with a happy smile on her face.

"Tiantian, Dad has a new job." Sister Na said to herself.

"Mom, has Dad found a new job?" the daughter suddenly woke up and asked, blinking her big eyes.

Sister Na smiled and nodded: "Yes, baby. Dad has found a new job, and it's in Fu Group. Thanks to Aunt Xiaoxiao's help, Dad doesn't have to go on business trips anymore. Are you happy?"

Upon hearing this, the daughter clapped her hands excitedly: "That's great! Dad can spend more time with us!"

Sister Na looked at her daughter's happy face and felt very relieved.

She knew that she was able to find a new job so quickly thanks to Xu Xiaoxiao's help.

She decided that she would thank Xu Xiaoxiao after she was discharged from the hospital.

Xu Xiaoxiao sat in the coffee shop, gently stirring the cup of fragrant latte in her hand, thinking secretly about the matter of Sister Na's husband joining Fu Yanchen's company.

The news spread quickly throughout their small circle like a gust of wind, and Xu Xiaoxiao naturally heard about it as well.

She couldn't help but sigh at Fu Yanchen's high efficiency and powerful methods.

He was able to allow Na Jie's husband to successfully enter his company so quickly, and also successfully terminate the contract with the original company. If he said that there was no careful planning and operation by Fu Yanchen, I'm afraid no one would believe it, right?

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was immersed in her own thoughts, suddenly, the door of the coffee shop was slowly pushed open with a slight "creaking" sound.

Along with the voice, a figure appeared at the door. Xu Xiaoxiao subconsciously raised her head to see who the person was...
