The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO’s Wife

It was precisely because of this that Chang Zhiyuan was able to find Shu Yi so quickly and accurately.

When he learned that Shu Yi wasn't in Rong City, he panicked. This woman had left Rong City without a sound, without even notifying the company. He became instantly anxious.

He truly liked Shu Yi, otherwise he wouldn't have pursued her for so long.

Emotions weren't something he could control. Call him a playboy or a womanizer from before, he would admit to it all.

Because in the past, he really didn't care. After all, it was all just a game, so he played. But later, things changed. At first, he just thought Shu Yi was beautiful, with a cold demeanor, not fond of getting involved in company affairs.

She would show up for filming when there was work, and disappear when there wasn't. He accidentally discovered that the company had such a character, and became interested right away.

He sent flowers, gave gifts, but in the end, the most valuable ones were all returned. Perhaps it was a man's desire to conquer that drove him. He was determined to win this woman over. And after winning her, he'd dump her, let her taste the cruelty of the world.

Later, because of Xu Xiu and Shen Yin's relationship, he got to know more about Shu Yi.

As he got to know her better, he discovered that this woman wasn't what she appeared to be. She wasn't cold at all. Or perhaps, she was only cold to people she wasn't familiar with.

For instance, she was indifferent towards him. Despite him being her top boss.

Shu Yi was different with Shen Yin - talkative, expressive, without any celebrity airs, let alone the burden of being an idol.

He was gradually attracted to her. By then, he had been pursuing her for nearly three months.

His initial intention of just playing around had changed.

He wanted to understand her, to know her from her high school days when she was called Shu Yueru. He witnessed her gradual transformation, as if she were a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, becoming who she is now.

He didn't think she wasn't pretty before. The past Shu Yi was also a part of who she is now. Every step in life is meaningful. It was precisely because she had experienced that dimness that she became stronger.

He felt sorry for her during that time, but also found that version of Shu Yi very adorable.

Yes, the entertainment industry doesn't lack beautiful women. Looking around, there are countless gorgeous faces.

But as the saying goes, beautiful faces are a dime a dozen, but interesting souls are one in a million.

As he got to know her, he discovered that Shu Yi was not only beautiful but also interesting.

He didn't know exactly what about Shu Yi attracted him, but he started to get serious. He wanted to be good to Shu Yi. He also knew that his past self might not have been worthy of Shu Yi, but once you like someone, how can you willingly give up?

He guessed that Shu Yi might have gone traveling, but he wasn't sure. If she had left right after returning from Hai City, she would have been gone for several days already. With no other choice, he could only seek help from his good friend.

When he learned that Shu Yi hadn't gone directly to Tibetan City, but had stayed in Chuan City for a few days, he immediately boarded a plane to Chuan City.

Upon finding out that Shu Yi had taken a train to Tibetan City, he rented a car in Chuan City and headed non-stop towards Tibetan City.

On the way, he calculated Shu Yi's arrival time based on the train schedule, and chose a hotel where Shu Yi was most likely to stay, considering the nearby hotel conditions.

Fortunately, he hadn't chosen wrong, nor had he missed her by much.

Shu Yi took out a towel and various toiletries from her suitcase and entered the bathroom.

Chang Zhiyuan was also considerate. He had originally thought of sleeping on the floor, but he had underestimated the hotel's conditions. Now he saw that there was actually a sofa in the room.

So he wouldn't need to sleep on the floor after all.

When Shu Yi came out of the bathroom, she saw Chang Zhiyuan lying on the sofa, wearing a bathrobe.

In October, it was already very cold in Tibetan City, with average daily high temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius, and average daily low temperatures around 4-5 degrees.

Shu Yi had done her research, so she had packed thick clothes in her suitcase. But Chang Zhiyuan hadn't thought about it that much. When he learned that Shu Yi was heading to Tibetan City, he just grabbed a suitcase and came over.

Shu Yi came out of the bathroom wearing pajamas. Considering she wasn't alone in the room, she had even put on a chest sticker.

"Hello, is this the front desk? Please send up an extra blanket."

Shu Yi called room service.

The sofa in the room wasn't small, but for Chang Zhiyuan, who was over 1.80 meters tall, lying on it was indeed a bit cramped.

Shu Yi had no choice. He had come of his own accord; she couldn't very well sleep on the sofa herself.

The man, having driven for a long time without rest, was now sound asleep on the sofa.

After the knock on the door, Shu Yi took the blanket and walked to the sofa, covering Chang Zhiyuan.

The man slept deeply, without any awareness, his features filled with fatigue.

Shu Yi sighed. At this point, questioning how Chang Zhiyuan knew she was here was meaningless.

Her heart began to waver. She had originally planned to come here to clear her mind, sort out her feelings, and get over her troubles with Chang Zhiyuan.

But now, with this man right in front of her, how could she sort out her feelings? It was impossible.

Not only could she not sort things out, but everything had become even more complicated.

After changing the bedding to her own, Shu Yi also lay down.

Closing her eyes, her mind was full of Chang Zhiyuan's image. She realized she had changed. In the past, she would have been much colder, pretending not to hear that "Shu Yueru," and certainly wouldn't have let him into her room.

But now, she was actually sharing a room with a man, and her mind was full of thoughts of him.

Love is an eternally complex proposition.

Being in the entertainment industry, Shu Yi had seen all sorts of relationships, making her more rational. Would love really last forever?

From the "myth of love" to today's "love dilemma," many issues made her afraid to develop feelings. As she had said before, she still believed in love, but didn't believe it would happen to her.

From having no one to take care of children after giving birth, to conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, to domestic violence, emotional manipulation, and insurance fraud appearing in the news.

Nowadays, fewer and fewer women are getting married. Shu Yi was not only afraid of marriage but also afraid of her own tendency to be blinded by love. She knew herself too well.

When not involved, she saw things clearer than anyone else. But once she fell into it, she would want to give everything to the other person.

That unrequited love during her high school days was her exercise in restraint and self-control.

Now, she probably could no longer utter those words she had said to Shen Yin long ago—that she would never fall for Chang Zhiyuan.

She began to feel afraid. A faint light filtered in from outside, though she couldn't tell if it was moonlight or the glow from the street lamps below.

She lay in bed, her mind unusually active, without a trace of drowsiness.

Though she should have been exhausted, sleep eluded her.

What would she do tomorrow? How would she face Chang Zhiyuan?
