Su Yueyi has been out of Ye Tianfan's sight for several months now, and although he knows she is currently the sales general manager of the Long Group, in Ye Tianfan's memory, Su Yueyi is still that gentle, quiet girl, focusing on making beef noodles without a care for the world.

So when Ye Tianfan saw Su Yueyi's number, his heart naturally warmed; this girl could always bring a touch of serenity to his heart.

"Hello, Yue Yi, it's been a while. How have you been?" Ye Tianfan answered the phone.

After a brief silence on the other end, Su Yueyi spoke, "Brother Tianfan, tomorrow is your birthday, an early happy birthday to you."

At this time, Su Yueyi's voice was a bit choked, causing Ye Tianfan's heart to tighten suddenly. He immediately asked, "What's wrong, Yue Yi? From your voice... has someone bullied you?"

"No...no, no one bullied me." Su Yueyi's voice was still choked. Indeed, no one bullied her. If anyone were to bully her, it would have definitely been Ye Tianfan.

Seeing Huang Xiaorou publicly confess to Ye Tianfan in the dining hall of Kyoto University had crushed the already insecure Su Yueyi. Later, Ye Tianfan's silent departure from the noodle shop added insult to injury to Su Yueyi's fragile heart. When Su Yueyi officially joined the Long Group, she learned of a marriage contract between Ye Tianfan and Qin Ruomeng, which struck her like a bolt of lightning, making her feel as though the distance between her and Ye Tianfan was growing wider.

However, these repeated heartbreaks made the previously fragile Su Yueyi stronger. Whether it was Huang Xiaorou or Qin Ruomeng, for Su Yueyi, they seemed unattainable, with powerful backgrounds and prominent families, like an insurmountable gulf between her and Ye Tianfan.

Su Yueyi could only silently strive. Without a strong background or influential family, all she could do was rely on courage and effort! Su Yueyi believes that someday she will surpass Huang Xiaorou and Qin Ruomeng, creating a world of her own with her own hands. By then, she could muster the courage to confess her feelings to Ye Tianfan!

This time, it took Su Yueyi a long time to gather the courage to call Ye Tianfan, not for anything else, but because tomorrow is Ye Tianfan's birthday. She wanted to make him a bowl of beef noodles again. After all, during the four years at Kyoto University, every birthday of Ye Tianfan was spent at Su Yueyi's small noodle shop.

"Tomorrow is your birthday, I want... I'd like to make you a bowl of noodles again to eat." After a long silence, Su Yueyi finally spoke out.

"Sure, it's been a long time since I had the beef noodles made by Yue Yi. I'm craving them!" Ye Tianfan's heart was filled with warmth, recalling the rare tranquility he once experienced in Su Yueyi's noodle shop, like a cozy harbor. Although the shop's environment wasn't particularly good, it had a simplistic, contented happiness.

If Ye Tianfan were to choose, he would rather go to that small noodle shop to eat than dine at some luxurious hotel!

"Alright, tomorrow noon, I'll be at the original noodle shop waiting for you. Don't be late."

"Okay, I'll definitely be there!"

After hearing Ye Tianfan's affirmative answer, Su Yueyi quickly hung up the phone. Tears had already traced down her cheeks; she didn't want Ye Tianfan to hear her crying.

At this moment, a gentle smile had unknowingly appeared on Ye Tianfan's face. Su Yueyi is the only woman who can bring a sense of tranquility to Ye Tianfan's heart. Although she may not be as extraordinarily beautiful as Long Yuqing and Qin Ruomeng, she nevertheless occupies a place in his heart.

Observing the gentle smile on Ye Tianfan's face, Yan Feishuang felt quite uncomfortable. Despite being a woman, their situations were vastly different. Previously, Yan Feishuang had never seen such a truly gentle smile from Ye Tianfan. Not even when they were handling business together had Ye Tianfan smiled like this.

Yan Feishuang desperately wanted to know who the woman on the phone was and just how beautiful she might be. Even facing women as stunning as Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing, Ye Tianfan hadn't shown such expression. Yet, just a phone call from this woman elicited such a sincere and gentle smile.

Yan Feishuang was both envious and jealous, though she wanted to ask who this woman was, she ultimately refrained from doing so. Instead, she gave Ye Tianfan a faint smile and said, "Let's go. It seems today won't be our day at the hotel after all. You head back to the villa; I'll take a walk."

Upon finishing her words, Yan Feishuang didn't wait for Ye Tianfan's response and turned around, sorrowfully leaving because she could feel that his mind was no longer on her! Though her heart ached, she didn't show it. She knew her position; she was a killer, a tainted woman who had to engage with countless men. Sometimes, Yan Feishuang was forced into such situations; after all, to her, being with men was merely a killing technique. She was an assassin; she had to survive!

But such was the reality! Even now, Yan Feishuang didn't have even the privilege to be jealous! She understood well that she could never be Ye Tianfan's woman, but at least she could be a sensible woman, knowing when to refrain from asking questions, when to disappear without a trace. Although it pained her, it was the best choice she could make! Yet, it was inevitable that this would be a sleepless night for Yan Feishuang.

As Yan Feishuang's silhouette faded into the night, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but sigh, shaking his head. He neither pursued nor explained. As Yan Feishuang chose to be a sensible woman, Ye Tianfan decided to respect her choice!

Later, Ye Tianfan walked back through the night to his villa at Kyoto University. The villa was brightly lit, with Qin Ruomeng's face filled with concern. Seeing Ye Tianfan open the door and enter, Qin Ruomeng hurriedly stood up and approached him, asking, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Witnessing Qin Ruomeng's worried expression softened Ye Tianfan's heart as well. Despite the late hour, Qin Ruomeng was anxiously waiting for his return, suddenly gifting Ye Tianfan with a homey feeling! As if Qin Ruomeng was a little wife waiting for her husband to return home.

But this warm fantasy lasted only a few seconds before Qin Ruomeng's face abruptly turned cold, her eyes brimming with displeasure as she glared at Ye Tianfan. Then she plucked a long hair from his shoulder with her delicate hand, saying coldly, "Speak, which woman were you fooling around with? Was it Ren Ningyue?"

Qin Ruomeng's sudden change shattered all of Ye Tianfan's illusions! Damn it, couldn't this woman maintain that beautiful feeling a bit longer? Why did she always act as if she had eaten explosives? Couldn't she be gentle, pour a cup of tea, take his coat, and then massage his shoulders or something?

Did she always have to be so cold and frosty?
