Inside the car, only the playful sounds of the two children could be heard. Alex remained silent, and so did Michelle.Amidst the silence, the air seemed to be infused with an element called "gravity."After a lengthy pause, Alex finally uttered a soft "Mmm."He said, "Indeed, one's reputation mirrors their character."Michelle then inquired, "NexRealm Studios has burned quite a bit of money on the 'Star Path' project, hasn't it?"Hearing her question, Alex felt his heart skip half a beat, and a sharp pain throbbed at his temples. He wondered if Michelle was already in the know.After some contemplation, he felt that in the grand scheme of things, this really was a minor issue.So, Alex responded, "It probably isn't that much."Hearing his words, Michelle silently uninstalled an app she had just downloaded.If he wasn't talking, then she wouldn't know anything.Michelle remarked, "I also think it isn't much. Let them keep burning money then."Alex: "..."Alright, he was now certain s

Unaware, Derek Lin let out a sigh identical to Leonard Chen's. "This is the first time I've heard of someone refusing because the price was too high."Alex Ye thought to himself: *It seems like my employees might not be the sharpest tools in the shed.*Could anyone truly believe Michelle Xia's clearly disinterested excuse?Alex glanced at Derek, commenting, "Well, it's a first for me too."Derek let out a sigh, seeming to hold back words. He worried for the future of NexRealm Studios and for Leonard Chen's thinning hair.Noticing Derek hadn’t left by the end of the workday, Alex inquired, "Derek, are you looking to work overtime voluntarily?"Derek promptly made his exit.Alex had somewhat guessed Michelle's intention. He felt it was her way of "compensating" him, and she wasn’t keen on accepting it.Indeed, he did want to "compensate" her, trying to funnel money her way. Yet, she didn't fancy his financial offer.Considering that Michelle had negotiated with Leonard personally, they

From the day Michelle Xia brought Lizzy Xia to the Ye residence, Alex Ye and Eleanor Ye had done thorough research about her. They knew she had dropped out of college after studying for less than two years.So, when Michelle expressed her wish to go back to school, Alex wasn't surprised at all. What did surprise him, however, was the subject she wanted to switch to. "You want to be a screenwriter?" he asked.In reality, becoming a screenwriter wasn't an easy path. For newcomers, without the guidance of a mentor, it was quite challenging to make a mark in the industry. Brandon Su had once considered entering the field but had given it up. He had thought, why not continue being a successful online novelist rather than getting scolded by superiors all day?Michelle pursuing a career in screenwriting was plausible. Eleanor had connections in the film industry and knew many screenwriters. However, veteran screenwriters weren't always keen on mentoring newcomers. Even if they were, building

When Alex Ye heard that Michelle was heading to the gym, he initially thought he had misheard.He asked, "Where did she go?"Nora replied, "The gym."Alex was at a loss for words. Why on earth would Michelle go to the gym? Was she going with Brandon?Of course, he wouldn't pose these questions to Nora, and certainly not to Michelle. He could only keep his thoughts to himself.Since Michelle was planning to hit the gym, she'd left a message for Alex to come home early.Michelle texted: "Mr. Ye, come home early to spend time with Lizzy."Alex was already aware of Michelle's new fitness regimen since Nora had informed him the previous night. But he decided to feign ignorance.Alex replied: "Are you not going to be home?"Michelle: "Yes, starting today, I'll be at the gym every night at 8."Alex: "?"Michelle: "So, I'd appreciate if Mr. Ye could spend the evening with Lizzy. Just watch some cartoons with her."Clearly, Alex's question mark was asking why she was heading to the gym. But M

Michelle Xia was uncertain about what an appropriate gift would be for a male friend. In the end, she settled on something that she believed was a safe choice and unlikely to be misconstrued—tea leaves.She wasn't sure if Alex Ye enjoyed tea, but she knew Eleanor Ye did. If Alex was exclusively a coffee drinker, then he could always pass the tea along to Eleanor.She had chosen black tea, which was known for being gentle on the stomach. She had done her homework before making the purchase, opting for a high-end variety, confident that it wouldn't be looked down upon.However...This was her first time gifting something to a man who wasn't a family member, and she was undeniably nervous.Especially given the nuanced relationship between them.Michelle tried to maintain her composure, her smile graceful and poised, genuine in her gratitude towards Alex.When she handed over the gift box with both hands, Alex glanced up at her.He offered a subtle smile, accepting her gift with a slightl

Michelle wasn't sure if it was Lizzy's innocent remark that had gotten to her, but she felt that Alex Ye had been... particularly attentive towards her lately.For instance, in the mornings when Alex would drop the kids off at kindergarten, he would casually ask if she wanted to join them. He'd also inquire if she was heading to the gym and at what time. Alex even mentioned knowing a very reliable personal trainer, asking if she would like an introduction.Michelle politely declined, "My current trainer is quite good."Alex responded with equal tact, "The trainer I mentioned is quite experienced."Understanding dawned on Michelle. "Ah, a female trainer. I see."It was well known that gyms could be breeding grounds for flings and affairs.Lifting her eyes to meet Alex's gaze, she admired his refined and handsome features. His gentle and compassionate eyes evoked a protective fondness in her. Offering a perfect, graceful smile, Michelle's voice was soft and gentle as she reassured, "Yes

Alex Ye returned home to find a large bouquet of red roses casually placed on the table. Knowing Michelle Xia's personality, he reckoned she had probably just set the flowers aside upon receiving them. "Nicely done," he mumbled to himself with a hint of sarcasm before instructing Nora Su to dispose of them.Nora, who was in the kitchen preparing dinner, was taken aback by his request.He handed the bouquet to Nora and said dismissively, "If Miss Xia doesn't like them, then just throw them away."Nora glanced between Alex and Michelle, holding the bouquet with an expression that said she was at a loss for words. She descended the stairs, holding the bouquet, and upon reaching the trash cans below, she pondered, "What kind of waste do these count as?"As she was about to dispose of the bouquet, she noticed a card nestled between the roses. Curiously, she opened it and read, "Some companions are not beside you, but always in your heart. - Brandon Su."Upon seeing the sender's name, Nora
