    Fan Shengmei, clad in high heels, stormed into a lavish party. Her eyes swept over Meng Yanchen, her calculations whirring – this man, his suit buttons perfectly fastened, was a tough nut to crack, but also a valuable asset. Meng Yanchen watched her handle the champagne with ease, his eyes gleaming with ulterior motives. Yet, as she was being harassed by the greasy boss, he inexplicably handed her a glass of water: "Sparkling water from the party, better for decanting the champagne." As she took the water, her fingertips brushed against the back of his hand, her smile clearly laced with seduction: "Mr. Meng, you know quite a lot." He took a half-step back, his tone icy: "Don't waste your energy, I'm not taking your bait." Later, he caught her hiding in the fire escape, crying, yelling into the phone, "I'll definitely raise that little bit of money next week!" She hung up, wiped her face, reapplied her lipstick, and turned to bump into him. "Mr. Meng," she suddenly smiled, her eyes sparkling, "how about we make a deal? You help me cover my family's debts, and I'll help you deal with your elders pressuring you to get married." He stared at her reddened eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing: "I'm not interested in a contractual lover." "We're business partners," she looked up at him, "I'll help you remove the labels, and you lend me confidence. Fair enough." He finally nodded. But he hadn't expected this woman to be so sophisticated—when he was being harassed by the board of directors, she would leisurely stroll by with a cup of coffee: "President Meng, you were revising the plan until 3 a. M. Last night. Can't you even solve this little problem yourselves?"; When his mother was pressuring him to go on blind dates, she would link arms with him and smile: "Auntie, we're getting engaged." Meng Yanchen found himself becoming more and more accustomed to her presence, accustomed to her using her "gold digger" shrewdness to shield him from trouble, accustomed to the way her eyelashes cast small fan-like shadows under the lamplight as she worked on her laptop at night. That day, driven to tears by her family of origin, she hid away again. He walked over, and for the first time, without scrutiny: "I've transferred the money." She looked up at him, glaring: "Is this charity?" "It's an investment," he crouched down, his gaze level with hers, "Investing in someone who can bloom from the dust, it's not a loss." Later, Fan Shengmei opened her own studio. On the day of signing the contract, Meng Yanchen handed her a document: "Not a contract, but a partner equity agreement." She raised an eyebrow: "Mr. Meng, are you stuck with this?" He didn't deny it, but looked at the light in her eyes—a light he had personally polished for her, a light that also illuminated his own collection. Love isn't a puppet show; it's two adults tearing off their pretenses, sparking in reality, and then supporting each other, allowing each other to live more authentically.
