Section 1

She has returned, unafraid of being shattered to pieces, yet she wishes to live nearby him, allowing him to live in peace.

Miao Tong looked at him for a while and, for some reason, felt that he was very pitiful. How had they ended up like this? They were clearly in love. She never doubted this, neither in the past nor now. She still had the impulse to embrace and kiss this man, but now she could only sit there coldly, as if her parents in the heavens were also looking down on her pitiful state with indifference.

After stepping down from the stage, she was met with a flurry of congratulations and toasts. She graciously declined, taking a sip from each glass. Tang Lu observed her pale face and said, "You don't look well; are you feeling unwell?"

But you might catch a cold

"Don't worry about it, just talk to me for a while," Bai Xiyan said, but after that, she refused to speak again, merely staring at the ground beneath Miao Tong's feet.

Miao Tong shook her head: "There is no hatred between the two of us"

女士们，先生们，欢迎来到我的直播秀

The individuals invited to the wine gathering, apart from industry peers, are either wealthy or of high social status. The ability of the branch office to thrive is closely related to the presence of these individuals

Miao Tong was dressed in a pearl-colored off-shoulder gown, her braided hair adorned with a few pearls. With a light touch of makeup, she appeared even more elegant and serene. She gracefully walked onto the stage, the upward curve of her lips was warm yet not obsequious, making one feel as if embraced by a spring breeze

Now, Miao Tong saw a desperate and lonely soul in him

What is wrong with him? Miao Tong did not understand, but her heart was anxious. Unable to suppress her feelings, Miao Tong embraced him tightly, only to find that his whole body was trembling, and the tremors grew more intense. This was not the normal trembling of mhetushucom.com; it was a nervous convulsion of the body. Miao Tong cupped his face in her hands, noticing that Bai Xiyan's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his tightly closed lips oozing bright red blood, and the awareness in his eyes had already faded.

"The matters that can be reversed, Sister Yue has already informed me." Bai Xiyan supported his forehead and chuckled, "I truly am not presentable; I clearly promised not to appear before you. It is one thing not to be able to gnaw on the flesh and grind the bones of the enemy who has a deep-seated grudge for the murder of my father, but I still find myself remembering that little favor of support. What does this count as, a favor? This is merely my atonement, so you need not treat me so gently."

He comforted the frightened staff while wiping the wine from his face with a handkerchief, and no humiliation could diminish his elegance and nobility, for he was, after all, a deity shrouded in an aura of light

The decision to establish a branch of the Morning Report was made after the New Year. After several months of intense preparation, the selection of the chief editor for the branch has yet to be determined. Several department heads, eager for promotion, are eyeing this position with great interest, but the higher-ups have been very tight-lipped about it. It was not until the launch party of the branch that the announcement was officially made.

On the guest list for the banquet, she saw that person's name, but his health was poor, and he rarely attended such events; it was usually his secretary, Liu Jinzh, who represented him. She knew he was not here because he had stated that he would not appear before her, and he had always been a person who kept his promises

The former leader of the company had to concede and clink glasses with Zhuo Yue, exclaiming: "No wonder General Editor Zhuo highly recommends this girl; I had a bias thinking you were being partial. Uncle Zheng owes you an apology, indeed, you have the demeanor of a great leader"

In the originally spacious lounge, both of them felt somewhat constrained standing there.

The editor-in-chief Zhuo Yue personally mentored this outstanding protégé, who has served as a correspondent in Tibet and nearly lost her life while attempting to save someone. She has also worked as a war correspondent in Bolivia and was awarded the title of "National Top 100 Journalists." Her columns and news ratings are also very high. That impressive transcript, combined with excellent connections, has allowed her to take full advantage of the opportune circumstances.

On the short journey to the lounge, Miao Tong felt utterly defeated, as this encounter was too sudden for her to know how to face him. She could calmly stand on the stage and take charge of the situation, but in front of Bai Xiyan, no matter how hard she tried, she would always appear like a helpless and weak child.

Although she possesses the ability, Miao Tong is still too immature and requires more assistance and guidance from you, Elder Zheng, and other seniors

One cannot always regress like the intelligence of certain individuals

"First, take off your coat. I will go get you a new replacement shirt. Fortunately, the staff was thoughtful enough to prepare this as well." Miao Tong turned to find the clothes, but was stopped by Bai Xiyan who grabbed her arm: "Don't rush, stay and talk to me for a moment."

Miao Tong was stunned for half a second, then cried out, "Quick, someone come, call an ambulance!"

Thank you, I am fine..." When his wrist was grabbed, Bai Xiyan thought it was some careless staff member, but then he turned to see Miao Tong's smiling face suddenly "stab" into his eyes. Miao Tong did not have time to notice his dazed expression, as she pulled him along and said to the onlooking guests: "I will take Mr. Bai to the lounge to handle a few matters, please continue to enjoy the banquet."

Moreover, they thought that since Miao Tong had always been in an expatriate status, they had never considered the possibility of Miao Tong. However, now that Miao Tong has returned, it is unreasonable for this position not to belong to Miao Tong.

I did not know you would come

It turned out to be Miao Tong. Although the editors were somewhat unwilling to accept it in their hearts, they also felt a sense of relief.

The female colleagues in the office say that men who catch a chill tend to be more caring. Indeed, she is being tenderly and attentively loved by him

His body sits there, seemingly intact, yet inside it is riddled with countless wounds, causing a numbness of pain

"Why are you telling me this? Everything lost to time is just you talking to yourself." Miao Tong panicked, kneeling on the carpet at his feet, pulling down his arm, and urgently asked, "Xi Yan, what is wrong with you?"

This person's hands are cool

Imitating the opening of an American pop star's concert, the audience below laughed and applauded. In a corner that Miao Tong could not see, someone also gently lifted the corners of their mouth.

Yet she still instinctively searched, perhaps he did not know she had returned, perhaps he came to the banquet in person out of respect for Zhuo Yue, perhaps... because she was here

On the stage, Miao Tong, standing against the light, was also searching for someone's gaze

Old friends were teasing each other when they suddenly heard a few exclamations coming from the hall

Introducing the candidate for the chief editor of the branch at the end is simply tantalizing, as the more it is concealed, the greater the curiosity it evokes. It wasn't until halfway through the cocktail party that the host, in a teasing tone, remarked: "I suddenly remembered something; I feel quite embarrassed to have everyone staring at a man like me for so long. In fact, I have my own motives, because I never expected our branch's chief editor to be... so young and beautiful. I really didn't want you to see her! But there's no choice; if the chief editor doesn't come out, I won't get paid. Now, let me introduce our branch's chief editor—Miss Miao Tong."

In the bathroom, she was vomiting uncontrollably, while Tang Lv gently rubbed her back and sighed: "How did you end up throwing up like this? Just a moment ago, you looked perfectly fine, and I thought you were joking. But seriously, my wife experienced morning sickness during the first three months of her pregnancy, and she was vomiting so fiercely that I thought she might throw the baby up."

Editor-in-Chief Zhuo Yue concluded her speech of gratitude on stage, followed by Executive President Tang Lü from the branch office, who spoke about the establishment time and history of the headquarters, as well as the types of publications and business scope of the branch, in order to attract the business professionals present to place advertisements. In simple terms, this gathering is merely an occasion to seek commercial cooperation

His name is "Xiyan", and these two characters embody his mother's expectations, hoping that he will "cherish words as gold". Indeed, he is such a person. He can speak so many words in one breath, and they are all words of despair, which is not like him at all. He is a person who is filled with hope no matter what happens.

In the gaze of the crowd, Miao Tong introduced her core team with her uniquely cool tone. Even with prominent business magnates and celebrities in the audience, her calmness was as serene as a lotus, making her convincing. In a brief ten-minute appearance, Miao Tong, as the youngest female editor-in-chief since the establishment of the Morning Post, left a deep impression with her graceful and capable image

In his distinctly black and white eyes, a profound loneliness darkened, as if the dust of time had settled, waiting to become stone

If your wife were to give birth to a child unexpectedly, it is advisable to directly contact the relevant authorities to have her examined, as she might be an alien concealed on Earth

Haha, never mind, it is now the world of the young, I will just stay at home and entertain my grandson

Miao Tong and Tang Lv hurried to the hall, where they saw a person in an inconspicuous corner, dressed in a dark gray suit. The white shirt peeking out from the collar was stained with a jewel-like red, and even wine dripped from his cheeks and hair. It appeared that an entire glass of red wine had been splashed onto him. The person who had thrown the wine on him showed no sign of remorse— it was evidently intentional.

It has been a long time since we last met, Editor Miao has become inked.

Miaotong Town Dingdao: "Yes, I feel like vomiting"

He bent down and embraced her tightly: "Xiaotong, I miss you very much"

There is no hatred, yet we cannot be together. Bai Xiyan moved her hand from her forehead to her eyelids, gently covering them. "Today, I intended to pretend to encounter you by chance, to say a few heartfelt words, and then leave naturally. That was my original thought, but... after seeing you, it became impossible. Your image has been floating in my mind every day, but perhaps because I haven't seen you for too long, I suddenly realized that I can hardly recognize you anymore. If we cannot be together, at least we love each other, only to be defeated by blood ties... After seeing you, it became impossible. Your image has been floating in my mind every day, but perhaps because I haven't seen you for too long, I suddenly realized that I can hardly recognize you anymore. If we cannot be together, at least we love each other, only to be defeated by blood ties... I have always been so resolute, which is why I could face the days after losing you so calmly. But in that moment, I lost all my courage... Because we have come too far, and one day we will inevitably lose to time.
