People love gathering around a commotion. Curious, Ruan Shuli followed the crowd. She had to squeeze her way through before she could finally lean in and see the center of the spectacle. Sure enough, it was quite a scene.

At the center of the lawn stood a man and a woman. The woman gazed at the man before her with shining eyes. "I live here too, just like you. I know you live in the villa area. I'm in Building 10. I don't know your name, but I've been paying attention to you for a long time. I really like you. Would you be my boyfriend?" She said the words "be my boyfriend" with heartfelt sincerity and a hint of nervousness.

Ruan Shuli gave her an enthusiastic thumbs-up in her heart. That girl had guts. And she really was beautiful, with long brows, big eyes, and a tender gaze. She had a pure look with a hint of feminine charm, exactly the kind of woman men liked these days. This confession was almost certain to succeed. After all, who could turn down a beauty? Especially one who'd summoned the courage to make such a heartfelt confession in public.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in you. And you've been prying into my private life and disturbing me. Please stop." His voice was neither loud nor soft, but his tone was as cold as a knife. Every word rang clearly in the air, and the crowd's excited cheering fell silent.

He rejected her without an ounce of tenderness. Two lines of tears glistened on the heroine's delicate face, falling one after another like pearls from a broken string. "Why? Am I not pretty enough?" Her voice trembled slightly, a note of stubbornness and hope in it.

Ye Dongchen kept his hands in his pockets and looked down at the people who had caused the commotion. His gaze held no warmth, and his deep eyes were icy. Then, all at once, the chill in his eyes melted away like ice in spring. The faintest hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his lips, barely more than a subtle movement of his face. "You're right, you're not pretty enough. You're not as pretty as her."

Ruan Shuli felt as if thunder had exploded beside her ears. Her eyes widened despite herself, and her mind went completely blank. She couldn't understand the heroine's thought process. How had this cheesy plot ended up landing on her? Her gaze darted back and forth between the hero and heroine. Couldn't they tell she was just an innocent bystander watching the drama unfold?

This is a story of love growing over time after marriage, and a reunion after years apart.
