Don't you know that being unemployed is one of the top three reasons someone shouldn't be a partner?
That's right, she needed to wake up and not be swayed by his looks.
But... he really is exceptionally handsome...
Sneaking a glance at him under the night sky, Yan Keyu's heart began to race against her better judgment.

"Is it true?" A delighted voice rang out in the grand hall.
"Why so suddenly?" Another voice, slightly older and more serious, questioned.
"Isn't this the 'goal' you've always wanted me to achieve?" Tao Jiajin replied with a half-smile.
"Yes, dear, the child has realized his mistake and come back. We should be happy," the elegantly dressed lady urged her husband.
Tao Xiongshan's sharp eyes stared at his son, asking without warmth, "Which family's daughter is she?"
"Yes, Jiajin, who is this socialite? Do I know her?" Yang Danfeng also inquired.
"She's not a wealthy heiress or a socialite. If you must know, she's someone from the lower class that you've always looked down upon," Tao Jiajin replied defiantly, meeting his father's gaze.
"Are you deliberately trying to upset me?" Tao Xiongshan glared, angrily shouting.
"Jiajin, apologize to your father," Yang Danfeng quickly urged nervously.
"I've already decided. If you want me to get married, you'll have to accept my choice," Tao Jiajin calmly declared.
"Ridiculous!" Tao Xiongshan slammed the table angrily. "It's bad enough that you left your CEO position to run a café, and now you tell me you want to marry someone unknown. I won't allow it."
"She's not unknown. Her name is Yan Keyu," Tao Jiajin's eyes, similar to his father's, narrowed slightly.
"I don't care what her name is, and I don't need to know. You will break up with her immediately!" he ordered angrily.
"Jiajin, just listen to your father. I'll find a suitable match for you," Yang Danfeng pleaded earnestly.
"Like when you ordered me to 'give up' back then? Are you going to interfere again?" Tao Jiajin mocked.
"Crash—" The sound of breaking glass followed Tao Jiajin's words.
"I'm sorry—I'll clean it up right away," a woman holding a tray apologized in a panic.
"Yatong, how could you be so careless?" Yang Danfeng frowned in displeasure.
"Sorry, Mom," Zhu Yatong lowered her head, picking up the broken pieces, her long hair covering most of her face.
"All you do is apologize. Ever since you married into our family, it's been one bad thing after another. What else can you do?" Yang Danfeng complained.
Zhu Yatong pressed her lips together, silently picking up the pieces and quietly retreating.
Watching her leave, Tao Jiajin's hand clenched slightly at his side.
"In any case, I won't agree to this marriage," Tao Xiongshan concluded sternly, adding a threat, "Don't forget I can take back your CEO position anytime."
"Do you really think I care?" Tao Jiajin smirked coldly, "I've fulfilled your demand for 'marriage.' The rest is up to you."
"Jiajin! Jiajin..."
