After the marriage talks collapsed, Shang Zhitao took the initiative to go to the northwest to inspect the project.She first explained her idea to Lumi, but Lumi changed her mind about Tu Ming: before her ex-boyfriend came to make trouble, Tu Ming stepped in to stop it, which made her feel that this gentle colleague was quite responsible.Shang Zhitao then formally approached Luan Nian to talk about being assigned abroad, but he still felt that she was taking a long detour, and even regarded this choice as inferiority complex.She insisted that this was an opportunity she wanted to seize.
Luan Nian finally agreed and offered to raise Luke for her. She was unwilling at first and planned to take him away with him.After returning, she complained to Sun Yu, suspecting that although the two got along in the name of love, they never really understood each other.Luan Nian felt uncomfortable in his abdomen and called his mother to ask. The mother and son started bickering again.Shang Zhitao happened to come to ask about the dog's vaccination certificate, and he had an idea and asked her to help buy medicine.
When she delivered the medicine, Luan Nian deliberately made his discomfort worse, saying that he could not find the vaccine booklet, and thanked her for the trip, and once again offered to take care of Luke.She was worried that he would have to go on a business trip and would have no one to take care of her, but he had even thought of someone to help walk the dog in the community.Shang Zhitao did not object anymore, handed the dog to him, and headed to the northwest.
Three months later, Luan Nian, Lu Mi, and new colleague Song Ying came to the project site.Shang Zhitao has already served as the project director of the northwest region. He has a clear business introduction and is very familiar with local progress.Song Ying had heard of her a long time ago and was willing to get close to her; this time she brought resource support, and Shang Zhitao felt that the headquarters finally saw the value of the project.Lumi was quite proud, thinking that the person she brought out could indeed stand on her own, and Luan Nian also seriously affirmed her performance.

Luan Nian originally wanted to chat with her in private, but he suddenly suffered from abdominal pain and had to be sent to the hospital by her. After examination, he was diagnosed with kidney stones.Shang Zhitao accompanied the infusion and was so sleepy that she fell asleep on the side, so he supported her with his shoulders and quietly held her hand.When leaving the hospital, he refused to let her tell Lumi and refused to go back to the hotel. He followed her to her residence unless he said that he needed someone to take care of him.
At Shang Zhitao's house, he proudly called Dr. Liang and said that his girlfriend was taking care of him.The mother was very happy and made sure to have a few words with her. She couldn't help but mention that her son had a bad temper and asked her to be patient.Luan Nian quickly picked up the phone, fearing that he would be exposed again.After that, he walked around the room alone and heard Shang Zhitao opening the door. He hurriedly lay back on the sofa, pretending that the pain was still there.
Shang Zhitao asked him to stay in a hotel, but he cheated and hid in the room without coming out.He heard that she bought a native chicken to make soup. He knew that she was not good at cooking, so he finally cooked it himself.Seeing her eating happily made him feel satisfied.But when she asked if it was time to return to Beijing after she recovered, he said that he had taken a long leave and wanted to have a serious talk with her.
Luan Nian finally stopped beating around the bush and said that only after she left did he realize how important he had lost and that he thought about her every day.He wanted to start over, take another chance with her.Shang Zhitao also missed him and was moved by this confession and took the initiative to hug him.After the two reconciled, he wanted her to return to Beijing, but she refused to give up the rare career opportunity: if it was her boyfriend's suggestion, she would refuse; if it was the boss's formal arrangement, she would obey, but with regret.He finally chose to respect her.
Luan Nian then proposed to take Luke on a trip to the plateau first.The two set off by car, viewing the scenery and taking photos along the way, rarely putting their work aside.Dr. Liang called and knew that they were happy together and felt that his son was serious this time; but his father still poured cold water on him, worried that he would mess up things again.
When taking photos in Tibetan attire, Luan Nian was originally unwilling to change his clothes. When Shang Zhitao said that he could find another male model to partner with him, he immediately changed his mind.In front of the camera, he held her in his arms and cooperated very naturally.The photographer complimented the two of them on how photogenic they were, and wanted to choose one to hang in the store, promising to exchange the entire set of photos. Luan Nian readily agreed, not forgetting to praise that she did a good job taking the photos.

During the break, Shang Zhitao’s parents called.She said she was traveling with her boyfriend, and Luan Nian immediately introduced herself and mentioned that they had known each other for many years.Shang Zhitao was worried that her parents would continue to ask questions, so she hung up in a hurry. Just when he was about to complain, she came over and acted coquettishly to resolve his dissatisfaction.
Talking about her first impression, she said that when they first met, she just thought he was good-looking, but he still couldn't help but joke, saying that he thought she was too stupid at the time.She turned around in anger, and he coaxed her back with the promise of watching the aurora together.Shang Zhitao held his hand and said she was willing to go with him.
