AADWFL Chapter 22
“This is my stance on the matter. You know it, and I know it too. I will not yield.” The voice rose and fell — sometimes clear, sometimes slightly muffled due to volume. An Ning, sensing the tension between the mother and son on the other end of the line, instinctively slipped over to the kitchen island, preparing chrysanthemum tea to help clear heat for Yu Xiuming. The kitchen, having been used for dinner the day before, had already been cleaned by the hotel staff and looked spotless. An…-

AADWFL Chapter 21
The semi-open kitchen in the suite looked as though it hadn’t been used in ages, yet it was spotless. The hotel staff arrived with not only the requested bag of ingredients but also another paper bag filled with cooking utensils and condiments. An Ning checked everything carefully, thanked the staff, then took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped into the kitchen. He rummaged through the bag, found an apron — printed with the hotel logo — clearly borrowed from their kitchen, and…-

AADWFL Chapter 20
Looking at Yu Xiuming’s custom-tailored suit, the words “above mortal concerns” were practically written all over him. The sight of such a man making dipping sauce with practiced ease didn’t quite match up. An Ning froze for a moment, dazed by the contrast. He didn’t show it, though. Instead, he quietly made his own sauce — a black bowl with red trim, mixing sesame paste with crushed peanuts. “That combination tastes good?” Yu asked, frowning slightly as he watched An Ning add the…-

AADWFL Chapter 2
After returning to his own office, An Ning didn’t rush into his next tasks. Instead, he took the opportunity to sort out his thoughts. Sure enough, Yu Xiuming’s attitude toward him showed no sign that the original An Ning’s unrequited love could ever succeed. He smiled faintly, unconcerned, pulled out a small sticky-note notebook, and under the previously written “Stage Goals,” he added a new line in black pen: Ultimate Goal: Resign. Before work this morning, An Ning had already…-

AADWFL Chapter 19
Business trips were always packed tight. Once they landed, Yu Xiuming would likely head straight to a conference venue. It was a long-standing habit of his to tidy himself up before disembarking—and if he’d slept on the plane, that meant changing into a fresh set of clothes. “President Yu, would you like to change now?” An Ning asked. He’d managed to catch a brief nap while Yu Xiuming slept, and though it hadn’t been long, it was enough to clear his mind. Now, recharged, he was back in…-

AADWFL Chapter 18
If this had been a simple business trip, it wouldn’t have required so much fuss. The reason was simple—though Yu Xiuming had grown up with refined habits, he wasn’t actually fussy. His clothing style was elegant but practical: one business suit per day, all from a fixed luxury brand, tailored regularly, requiring no extra thought. For purely professional travel, An Ning just needed to pack the usual suits neatly into the luggage compartment reserved for them—simple, efficient, and done. But…-

“Xiao Zhou, you’re here.” Before An Ning could even stand up and peer past Zhou Yehua to see who it was, that familiar deep voice came from the doorway. “Ah— yes. Hello, President Yu, I was just here to report some work to President An,” Zhou Yehua replied quickly, recovering from her brief shock. “I’m done now; I’ll be heading downstairs.” Yu Xiuming nodded slightly, not asking further. He stepped aside to let Zhou Yehua out, indicating that he himself would be entering…-

AADWFL Chapter 16
After standing silently for several seconds, Yu Xiuming finally knocked on the window. The soft tapping sound was enough to wake An Ning, who had only been lightly asleep. He opened his eyes, and under the faint, not-fully-turned-off light inside the car, saw Yu Xiuming standing outside the window. Already finished eating? He had thought he’d only been resting his eyes, drifting in and out of short naps, checking the time whenever he woke—never losing track of how long it had…-

AADWFL Chapter 15
Lately, Yu Xiuming had gotten used to not letting An Ning come upstairs in the mornings. Instead, he’d started getting ready by himself. But just as he finished dressing and was about to head out, the doorbell rang. He froze for a moment, then checked the video intercom.An Ning was standing right there at the door. Since the man was already here, Yu Xiuming opened the door. “What brings you here?” he asked, puzzled, after letting An Ning in. The young man looked equally surprised.…-

AADWFL Chapter 14
Yu Xiuming, ever the dutiful gentleman, followed through. Five minutes later, he introduced Yi Mingwei’s nervous manager to a few friends of his — people who had strong ties in the entertainment industry — and after a round of polite conversation and mutual pleasantries, he quietly excused himself and retreated to a corner. He checked his watch. The timing felt right. Then he called An Ning. The line connected quickly — clearly, the other man paid close attention to his calls. “I’m…-
