Shu Nian immediately handed her business card to Ji Youmu.

Ji Youmu snatched the card and took a look:

+--------------------------------+
| Dr. Shu Nian |
| Assistant Professor |
| University of California |
| Department of Mathematics |
| Phone: +1-123-456-7890 |
| Email: [email protected] |
| Personal Website: |
| LinkedIn: /in/dr-shunian |
| Address: Department of Mathematics, University of California, Berkeley |
| Berkeley, CA 94720-3840, USA |
+--------------------------------+

Shu Nian noticed Ji Youmu was studying her card carefully, so she leaned closer and added, “By the way, the address is wrong. I’ve returned to China, and I don’t intend to be a professor or a doctor anymore.”

Fearing he might not believe her, she quickly added, “I came back for my own dreams.”

Ji Youmu… as expected, wasn’t very sharp. Everything was clearly on the card, and since she had already returned to China, the address overseas didn’t count. She had also said earlier that she came chasing a dream, and now she said it again.

Ji Youmu nodded, “Now I believe you.”

Shu Nian looked at him expectantly. “So, so you agree?”

“I’m not interested.”

“Why?”

“I said I’m not interested. Why so many whys?”

“But you have to give me a reason!”

“There is no reason.”

With that, Ji Youmu sent Shu Nian out.

Shu Nian drove her Maybach away, her mind full of confusion.

Why wouldn’t Ji Youmu enter the entertainment industry this lifetime?

She clearly remembered him saying his greatest dream was to become a top director everyone would fight over.

———

At this moment, Yun Yang was holding Lin Rui as they entered a hotel.

Yun Yang slammed the hotel door shut with one hand, his gaze fierce and aggressive.

Lin Rui naturally knew what was about to happen, but after seeing Shu Nian earlier that day, her sixth sense as a woman told her Shu Nian had changed.

She felt she needed to be cautious.

Yun Yang looked at Lin Rui, threw her fiercely onto the bed, grabbed her chin, and kissed her deeply.

As passion peaked, Lin Rui gently pushed the excited man with both hands.

Yun Yang panted, looking down at her but didn’t continue.

Lin Rui, taking advantage of her small frame and the man’s heavy breathing, suddenly slipped from his grasp and escaped.

She knew that to master a man, one must learn the art of “playing hard to get.”

The man snorted and reached for her wrist.

Seeing her flushed face and hesitation, he teased, “What’s wrong today? Still mad at me?”

Lin Rui ignored him.

He wasn’t angry, his voice hoarse as he comforted her, “Shu Nian, how could I like that stinky bitch? She’s been with a man outside. You’re the best, my Rui Rui, perfect in every way.”

Only pure and clean women were suitable for him.

Then, he wickedly lifted her skirt, intent on a fiery night together.

The rest is inappropriate for children…

……

By evening, Shu Nian drove her Maybach back to Fu Zhouye’s villa.

Butler Li hurried to greet her.

He saw his lady’s face full of disappointment, dejection, defeat, heartbreak, regret, and confusion…

Such a mix of negative emotions—he recalled that his lady once had an unattainable “white moonlight” love, someone she adored desperately. Had she just met this “white moonlight”?

And since that “white moonlight” rejected her, was that why she was in such a bad mood?

Shu Nian looked at the puzzled Butler Li and asked, “Butler Li, I have a friend who’s been confused and perplexed. No matter how much she thinks, she can’t figure this out. I want you to listen to this problem.”

The butler understood—creating a friend out of thin air.

Sigh, the lady still insists on saving face and suffers for it!

But Butler Li, unwilling to dampen her confidence, encouraged, “Please go ahead, madam. I’m not boasting, but I’ve lived half a lifetime; I’ve encountered all sorts of problems.”

Shu Nian wore a wistful, lost expression.

“There’s a man my friend has seen many times in her mind’s eye, but in reality, that man has never actually met her.”

Butler Li nodded knowingly—it was a case of secret crush.

“Today, my friend went to meet that man in person. She wanted to invite him to work together. In her memory, that man once shared his dreams with her. She wanted to chase those dreams alongside him, but he refused. Why is that?”

Butler Li shook his head again—her lady’s love life was hopeless!

Didn’t she know that a man rejecting such a big thing as chasing dreams meant he simply didn’t want to see her?

Shu Nian nodded then shook her head, unsure what it meant, and eagerly asked, “So, what’s the solution?”

Butler Li looked at her and comforted, “There are thousands of men in the world. Why hang yourself on just one tree?”

“If you’re determined to be with this man, try this:”

“Exchange true feelings and sincere hearts.”

“If he doesn’t accept my true feelings and sincere heart?” Shu Nian’s eyes shone with thirst for knowledge.

Last lifetime, besides Yun Yang—the worthless scoundrel—she rarely met other men, mostly men from the entertainment industry.

“I heard a master say love is multiplication: if one side is zero, the result is always zero.”

Shu Nian understood and happily jumped up, throwing herself into Butler Li’s arms, whispering, “Thank you. You’re truly a great teacher on my life journey.”

Shu Nian believed that as long as she exchanged true feelings and sincere hearts, Ji Youmu would surely agree with her.

And he conveniently ignored Butler Li’s final remark—if one side is zero, the product remains zero.

Butler Li…

Actually, there was no need for such thanks.

Shu Nian was now happy like a child.

She threw herself onto the sofa, munching on chips.

Butler Li looked at his lady and sighed, “Youth is indeed youth! Everyone has passionate romances when young. But madam’s love…”

He suddenly fell silent, realizing it was improper to mock his lady.

After a few falls, most give up.

Youthful love is always passionate but often ends in regret.

At this moment, Fu Zhouye returned and saw Shu Nian happily eating chips, with Butler Li standing nearby, his face filled with countless unsaid thoughts.

“What’s going on today? So happy?”

Hearing this, Shu Nian’s urge to share instantly surged.

“Mr. Fu, let me tell you—I have a friend who met a man she hadn’t seen for a long time.”

“But that man doesn’t recognize her now, but they will know each other in the future, and chase dreams together. You know what I mean?”

Fu Zhouye suddenly understood—making a friend out of thin air.

He smiled casually.

“You met Yun Yang today?”

Shu Nian: ??

He was clearly talking about how her ‘friend’ suddenly jumped to that scoundrel?

Suddenly, she realized something.

It must be the big boss testing her—to see why she was able to live in this mansion. It was because of a contract with the boss, so the boss was checking if she had fallen in love with him.

She really was a clever little fox.

So she put on a lovestruck expression, “Mmm, yes, I met Yun Yang today! But how did you know?”

Fu Zhouye raised an eyebrow, “Just a guess from your expression.”

Butler Li silently played the role of the bystander, listening quietly.

Thinking to himself, “Madam, don’t you realize? Everyone knows you love that man. It’s obvious even with your toes.”

Shu Nian feigned a half-understanding look, saying simply, “Oh.”

She deliberately lengthened the tone of “oh.”

Fu Zhouye looked at this lively Shu Nian with disdain.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why this woman, after so many setbacks, still had the stubborn confidence of not turning back until hitting a brick wall.

He wished she would focus on her career; at least she could become an ordinary boss.
