The process of withdrawal is very painful.

After twelve hours without drinking, I engaged in self-harm and self-abuse.

Fortunately, Luo Huizhou brought me back home.

He helped me up and patiently comforted me.

But I was in a bad state at that time and even crazily slapped him.

Luo Huizhou showed no impatience or annoyance.

After I regained sobriety, I apologized to him, and he simply said, "Taking money to do things is only natural."

After starting treatment, I delegated most of my work to the company's senior management.

For matters that require my decision, Manman would summarize them and bring them to my house.

Upon hearing about my illness, Manman burst into tears.

She immediately went back and started pressuring the legal department.

Four and a half months after Jiang Mingyao's contract termination, there was finally progress regarding the compensation issue.

Jiang Mingyao agreed to pay the penalty for breach of contract but requested to meet me.

I finally stepped out of my house.

The long-lost sunlight fell on me, giving me a sense of rebirth.

Although alcohol withdrawal is challenging, at least now I can go for three days without drinking.

Since becoming my personal doctor, Luo Huizhou seems to have completely abandoned his work at the hospital.

I invited him to visit my company, and he gladly accepted.

Luo Huizhou's arrival attracted the attention of the entire company.

Manman, who hadn't seen him when she came to my house last time, couldn't help but inquire softly, "President Qi, is this your newly signed artist?"

I whispered, "This is my family doctor who helped me quit drinking."

Manman's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "He's handsome and a doctor. That's a big plus!"

I haven't even mentioned that he is the young master of the wealthy Luo family yet.

When Jiang Mingyao arrived, Luo Huizhou was peeling oranges.

I sat on the sofa reading documents, and when he handed me a slice of orange, I ate it without thinking.

As I raised my eyes, I saw Manman's face full of peach blossoms and Jiang Mingyao behind her with a sullen expression.

I stared at Jiang Mingyao, my brows tightly furrowed.

I never expected that in less than five months, Jiang Mingyao would change so dramatically.

Emaciated and withered.

He resembled a dehydrated rose, quietly withering away.

I finished organizing the documents and couldn't help but ask him, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Mingyao's face remained stern, and his gaze at Luo Huizhou was filled with caution.

Luo Huizhou shrugged, then said to me, "I'll go out first. You two can talk!"

I nodded, "There's a dessert shop downstairs. Their taro rolls are delicious."

"Got it." Luo Huizhou suddenly reached out and touched my head, then responded with an indulgent expression.

Me: ?
