An Xiaoning wore a white hat made of rabbit fur. It had two cat ears poking out of it as well, which gave her an adorable and lively look.

With her hands tucked in the pockets of her cotton-padded coat, she skipped to the front of his car, flashing a wide grin. “Why are you so free today?”

“I’m free just for today. Tomorrow, I’ll be going overseas for a mission. It’s cold out here, get on quickly.”

An Xiaoning went round the front of the car and pulled open the door beside the driver’s seat before hopping onto the car.

“Did you bring all the tools for fishing?”

“Of course.” He turned the steering wheel and the car also turned, heading toward another direction.

“I saw the news. You invested in a television drama?” He turned to glance at her.

“Umm. The shooting starts in December, and the cast has been fixed. I chose them personally.” An Xiaoning asked with a grin, “Did you see that news?”

“The news about you and that male actor Yan Ge? I saw it. I was rather surprised when I saw it, but it has been proven to be just fake news created by the media.”

“It’s alright if the media creates fake news because it’s for publicity. Some artistes need such publicity, but I don’t,” An Xiaoning said helplessly. “Look at how all those netizens have berated me, they’ve called me all sorts of horrible names.”

“The netizens only know you on the surface and have never interacted with you. They know nothing about you.” His voice turned much gentler. “Don’t take it to heart. Why care about how people whom you don’t care about feel? That’s not important.”

An Xiaoning’s eyes were full of smiles. “If I can’t even take this much of stress, I’d long have landed in a state of depression countless of times.”

“...”

On the way, the two chatted as they drove. Ji Yu told her about many interesting stories in the army force, which delighted An Xiaoning. She had always thought that the army was a strict environment. But after listening to him, she realized that even though social life was restricted for those in the army, there was still something about it that captured people’s hearts.

Hearing him speak, An Xiaoning could tell that he had strong faith in the army, its officers, and the country in general.

His discipline, his attitude of abiding by principles and keeping secrets, made An Xiaoning impressed with him.

“I don’t believe a man like you has no admirers in the army.”

His face flushed slightly and he coughed. “Although there are few women in there, there were indeed some admirers. It’s just that I didn’t like them.”

“What kind of women do you like?”

“Last time, I had many requirements like pretty looks, a good figure, being knowledgeable and refined, etc. But now, that isn’t the case anymore.”

“So what is it now?”

“I can express it in one word — feeling.” His black pupils were sparkling and fixed on her as he answered.

“But feelings are developed based on one’s physical looks too. If it was a short, fat, and ugly woman, would you still have feelings for her?”

He gave an answer that was ambiguous. “That depends. Such a person may not make someone fall for her at first sight, but over time, this may change. One such couple in our army is like that. The guy is tall and handsome while the girl has average looks and is rather fat, but the guy still loves her so absolutely much. I guess this is what they call ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’ When you meet someone you like, all your requirements will automatically become less important than your feelings.”

“Then, if you were to like someone and if she has some flaw that you dislike or even absolutely hate, will you concede?”

“If I like her a lot, I would.”

“...”

The fountain pen in Jin Qingyan’s grip suddenly stopped. Because of this sudden movement, the signature on the document was left with an additional stroke.

He looked up at Fan Shixin opposite him. “Repeat yourself.”

“Ms. An and Major Ji Yu have gone to Luo Er Lake. Winter this year has been exceptionally cold. The ice frozen on the lake is probably very thick. I think they went fishing...”

Seeing that his face was gloomy and he did not speak, Fan Shixin was unsure of what Jin Qingyan was thinking of.

After what felt like an eternity, he finally replied, “Continue to keep an eye on them.”

“Yes...” Fan Shixin went out, greatly relieved.

Jin Qingyan thought of how he went fishing with his friends back then and always brought a tent because it was exceptionally cold by the lake during winter. They would just sit in the tent to fish.

Thinking of how An Xiaoning and Ji Yu were like that now as well, the image of a man and a woman on a desolate lake by themselves surfaced in his head...

Ji Yu would hold onto her hand as he says, “Your ex-husband not only did not trust you, but he also asked to divorce you. He made you leave with no assets and even took away the custody of your child. He’s really inhumane. From now on, let me stay by your side. I will treat you well.”

An Xiaoning would look at him lovingly and reply, “Honey, I believe you will treat me well.”

Ji Yu would lean closer to her and the two would kiss. After picturing such a scene in his head, Jin Qingyan sprung up from his seat, gripping his pen tightly in his hand.

He became instantly troubled.

How could he put his mind to work at the company?

Placing the pen onto his desk, he grabbed his coat hanging on the clothes stand and left his office hurriedly.

Seeing him come out suddenly, Fan Shixin, who was standing outside, remarked, “Young Sir.”

“You can go home first.”

After he finished speaking, he briskly went into the elevator.

Fan Shixin did not even need to make a guess. He already had an idea of where his Young Sir was going. The situation was giving him a headache. What on earth was he going to do?

Jin Qingyan drove to Luo Er Lake.

The area of the lake was too huge, so he parked his car at an empty spot and used his binoculars to look ahead at the figures he could vaguely make out a distance away. He realized it was indeed the two of them.

The two appeared happy and were chatting away merrily. Despite watching them from a distance away, one could already sense that the atmosphere between them was pleasant.

Jin Qingyan pursed his lips tightly and stomped back and forth.

This feeling was like being thrown into a hot pan to be deep fried.

Especially when he saw the two skating on the ice cheerfully. Although he could not hear what they were saying, he could see from the binoculars that she was smiling. She was smiling. She was smiling...

He was exceptionally unwilling to see her smile at another man.

After twelve, twenty, thirty, forty minutes, and even until one hour had passed, the two did not seem like they were about to leave.

Jin Qingyan got into his car and speeded toward their direction.

An Xiaoning never would have guessed that Jin Qingyan would suddenly appear.

They had intended to grill some fish before heading back.

When Jin Qingyan suddenly appeared in front of them, An Xiaoning was at first stupefied. Thereafter, she could immediately guess something and the smile on her face faded away.

She turned to look at Ji Yu. “Looks like we won’t be able to eat the fish in peace today, let’s carry the things into the car.”

Ji Yu looked at her, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He was surprised not because of anything else, but because of what she said.

He nodded. “Alright.”

When he went to pack up the things, Jin Qingyan walked nearer toward An Xiaoning, stopping just one foot before her.

It was really a very close distance.

“What are you doing?”

“If you wanted to fish here, why didn’t you call me?”

He did not question why she came with Ji Yu, maybe because he clearly knew that he did not have the right to.
