How many times a moth flies into a flame, and how many times it's done the same thing.

"Thank you for the necklace. Let's meet outside." An Ning finished editing the short message. She paused for a long time at the interface that selected the recipient. In the end, her fingertips stopped at Jiang Shao Han's name and she pressed the send button.

When Jiang Shao Han's cell phone screen lit up, he was presiding over an important meeting of the company's upper echelons.

The complicated data and tables filled the entire meeting room's screen. Everyone was attentively watching the PT and writing a few lines in their notebooks from time to time. The entire room was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

"Weng — —" The slight vibration of his phone made Jiang Shao Han glance casually. The decision he made to say it was forcefully swallowed back into his stomach when he saw the sender's name displayed on the screen.

Under the gazes of all the executives of the company, Jiang Shao Han, who never got distracted in meetings, reached out his hand to pick up his phone. A ray of obscure light flashed across his eyes as his slender fingers started tapping on the screen, as if replying to that person's text.

The upper echelons in the meeting room were still calm and collected, quietly waiting for Jiang Shao Han to deal with his personal letter. The entire meeting room was still silent, but everyone's heart was already boiling.

Someone who could get Director Jiang to reply during a meeting must be pretty important.

Jiang Shao Han's reply seemed to be a bit difficult. Everyone watched as his brow gradually furrowed. His fingers agilely typed out the next line, then deleted, then typed the next line, then deleted again and again, leaving the meetings of the upper echelons to be ignored.

"Cough, cough …" Lu Yue raised his hand to look at his watch. Director Jiang's reply had already taken six minutes, and even he, as an assistant, couldn't stand it any longer. He could only clear his throat and remind Jiang Shao Han.

Who would've thought that Jiang Shao Han would ignore Lu Fang's reminder with his selective deafening, and not even move his eyes away as he wholeheartedly replied to the text message.

This made Lu Fang feel somewhat awkward, but he felt that it was too much to make the higher-ups wait for too long. He could only take a step forward, "Director Jiang, everyone is waiting for you to announce the final decision for this quarter."

"Got it." Jiang Shao Han stared at the message that was repeatedly edited who knows how many times. His thin lips were almost pressed into a straight line. He hesitated for a moment before he finally sent it out.

Lu Fang took the opportunity to go up and warn Jiang Shao Han. He gathered his courage and secretly looked at the screen of Jiang Shao's phone. As expected — An Ning.

Besides her, no one else could cause Jiang Shao Han to have such a reaction.

"Let's move on to the overall goal of this quarter..." Jiang Shao Han put down his phone and once again brought the topic back on track. He wasn't sure if it was just an illusion, but the executives felt like the CEO's mood had improved after looking at the phone, but when they observed it carefully, they couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. It was still the same look, the same expression.

The content of the meeting was very important. Everyone's gossips only lasted for a split-second. With the presentation of the data, everyone's attention returned to the company's decision-making.

The text message that An Ning had received was actually only a simple 'good' word. It was so simple that no one could tell what he was feeling.

"Then we'll meet at the coffee shop on the corner after work tonight." She sent the time and place over, sighed softly, found the empty box in the drawer, and carefully put the Tears of the Sea away.

Jiang Shao Han got off work earlier than usual today, so he didn't waste any time. He directly came to the coffee shop and waited for An Ning's arrival. He faced the steaming cup of coffee on the table and silently praised Tian Tian within his heart – As expected of his son, he helped him chase An Ning so quickly!

Looking at the words "Thank you for your gift" on his phone, Jiang Shao Han heaved a long sigh of relief. He had spent a great deal of effort to buy Tears of the Sea. What he had his eyes on was not only the exquisite craftsmanship, but also the love story behind the necklace.

"Jiang Shao Han." Jiang Shao Han woke up from his deep thoughts. He looked up and saw that she was wearing a long white dress, which made her body look very graceful. She was clean and refined, and was slowly walking towards him.

This scene of an outrageously beautiful scene slightly stunned Jiang Shao Han.

When An Ning saw Jiang Shao Han looking at her with a burning gaze, her face blushed, and she felt a little upset in her heart. She touched the Tears of the Seas in her bag and steeled her heart, silently telling herself not to be soft-hearted again.

"You're here." Jiang Shao Han was still calm and composed, and elegantly stood up to move the seat away for her. The actions of the handsome gentleman naturally attracted quite a few gazes from the bystanders.

"Yes, I have something to say to you." An Ning didn't want to interact much with Jiang Shao Han, so she immediately went straight to the point. She took out the Tears of the Sea from her bag and handed it over, "I only found this thing last night. I'm sorry, I can't take it back, take it back! "

Tears of the Sea had already been thrown into the trash can every day, so when Jiang Shao Han first saw the item in An Ning's hand, he didn't recognize that it was the necklace he had given to her. He suspiciously took it and gently opened it to take a look, his heart sinking.

At first, he had thought that An Ning had more or less been moved by his gift and had taken the initiative to ask him out.

Who would have thought that he would have to return the necklace to him?

"Heh …" Jiang Shao let out a cold laugh, "There is no reason to take back the gift I gave you."

"I can't accept this necklace." An Ning insisted on her opinion. Giving a woman a necklace was originally an ambiguous action. The relationship between the two of them wasn't clear and it wasn't suitable for such interactions.

"Why not?" Jiang Shao Han's gaze was deep, like a bottomless pool. He looked straight at An Ning, carrying a questioning look as well.

"There's nothing between us anymore. Don't you understand?" An Ning felt somewhat uneasy under his gaze. She simply lowered her head and no longer looked at him directly. She had originally come here today to end the battle quickly, and the longer the time dragged out, the worse it would be for her. This was because An Ning knew better than anyone else that she still had a trace of lingering feelings for Jiang Shao Han.

"I don't understand." Jiang Shao Han's low and deep voice sounded, carrying a sharp aura.

The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was already eye-catching. As such, it attracted the attention of the bystanders.

Seeing this, An Ning became somewhat anxious. She didn't want to attract too much attention. Otherwise, if the rumors were to spread just like in the past, they would be even more entangled.

"Don't get excited, keep your voice down. Don't disturb me." She waved her hand at Jiang Shao Han with a frown on her face.
