Late at night, Gu Hai knocked on Yan Ya Jing's door.

Yan Ya Jing had just finished taking a shower and as she was blow-drying her hair, she heard a knock on the door, which caused her to jolt in surprise.

What does he want at this time of night?

Although Yan Ya Jing was flabbergasted, she couldn't help but to hold on to that tiny bit of hope. Even if he only came and stayed for a while, it would still be good.

When the door was opened, Yan Ya Jing's fair and beautiful complexion was matched with a light purple nightgown that was casually tied around her tiny waist, revealing her slim and elegant figure. A faint fragrance exuded from her body and pervaded the hazy lit room, emitting a fatally enticing aura.

Normally, when a man is faced with such a scene, anything of importance would surely be tossed to the back of his mind. Unfortunately for Yan Ya Jing, Gu Hai's pair of eyes had been trained to pay no heed to such things. Aside from Bai Luo Yin, anyone that would pass him by was just a person with a nose and two eyes and nothing else.

"I have to go back first, something urgent came up!"

Yan Ya Jing's eyes widened slightly as she stared at him in disbelief. "You're leaving right now? We have an important meeting tomorrow!"

"I don't have time for that. I am sure you can deal with it if something comes up!" After he finished speaking, he quickly turned and went toward the elevator.

As Yan Ya Jing watched Gu Hai's back disappear from her sight, she was at a loss for words.

How can this person have changed so much in such a short span of time? Two days ago, he spoke with great confidence and was adamant that he would win this business venture at any cost, since it concerned the company's future development. He said that all other matters would need to be put aside, and even went as far as to say that if he wasn't able to snatch this project, the latter half of his life would be wasted. But in the end, it seems that something else was able to vanquish his grand intentions in the blink of an eye.

As expected, a man in love cannot be depended on...

With those thoughts swirling in her head, Yan Ya Jing bitterly closed the door.

Bai Luo Yin had the blanket wrapped around his body while he comfortably lay on the bed. The exhaustion that had accumulated during all those harsh days of training, made him feel as if all the bones in his body were falling apart. From being a tough and unyielding soldier in the battlefield, he had turned into a wounded person hanging on to a cliff for dear life. He began to imagine the intense and worried expression that would afflict Gu Hai as he pushed fiercely through the door. The more he thought about it, the more his heart and mind felt at ease, and the bitter hardships that he had suffered for the past few days were instantly cured.

Eight years ago, he had never felt dependency on this person. But after experiencing eight extremely difficult years of endless challenges and restlessness, he had fully grasped the cruelty of human nature. Now, he had come to realize how rare and precious it was to be able to have someone at his side who was wholeheartedly devoted to treating him well.

Hearing the door creak slightly, Bai Luo Yin's nerves jolted as he slowly turned his eyes toward the door only to see a figure cloaked in white move into his line of sight.
