Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 17 I want to start a company, and I need your help.

Deep down, Liu Ruyan harbored a longing for romance, but life never gave her that opportunity.

These two special "encounters" with Ye Fan, though starting from accidents and impulses, unexpectedly cast a unique color in her heart, allowing her to experience a long-lost, thrilling sense of "romance".

She felt as if she had been infused with an invisible vitality.

When she looked in the mirror, she was surprised to find that the person in the mirror seemed somewhat different.

Her skin had a soft glow, and her cheeks often had a natural, healthy blush. Her eyes, which had once looked a little tired, now seemed to have been wiped clean, and had a brighter look.

She recalled the old saying, "Women are made of water."

Only then did she truly realize that water is not lifeless; it needs the right temperature and the breath of flowing water to truly come alive and be vibrant.

Those two extraordinary encounters were like warm currents thrown into a deep pool, allowing her stagnant waters to once again feel the direction of their flow.

So, the thought of Ye Fan coming soon made her lips curl into a smile, and she felt a warm glow inside.

She carefully prepared a small, elegant paper bag and walked briskly towards the agreed-upon location. The afternoon sun danced on her, and even her steps carried a long-lost lightness.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan's mind was perfectly clear.

She realized that she had developed a complex and profound emotional attachment to Ye Fan.

This feeling is intertwined with deep gratitude for his timely help, the indescribable excitement and joy of being together, and a sense of inexplicable closeness that comes from the depths of my heart.

But she was never a woman who loved to indulge in unrealistic fantasies.

Those extravagant hopes about "forever" and "marriage" were too distant and unrealistic for her.

All she asked for was to become a unique part of the landscape in the vast river of his life.

When he needs comfort, we can offer him warmth to the best of our ability; when he sets sail on distant voyages, we can quietly retreat to a corner and watch him go with blessings.

All she wanted was to be the woman who stood behind him, quietly protecting him, nothing more.

-----------------

A dozen minutes later.

The taxi arrived downstairs at the budget hotel.

Ye Fan glanced at the room number on his phone, walked into the lobby with light steps, and took the elevator upstairs.

Arriving at the door of room 320, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door with his knuckles.

"Knock knock knock".

A moment later, the door was opened a crack. Liu Ruyan appeared behind the door, a gentle smile on her face.

She had clearly put a lot of effort into her appearance today.

She wore an elegant beige office lady style suit, with a fitted blazer over a smooth silk shirt, and a delicate silk scarf tied at the neckline.

Beneath the well-tailored bodycon skirt are stockings that accentuate the beautiful lines of her legs.

The YSL high heels on her feet tapped out a crisp and melodious rhythm on the floor.

Ye Fan's eyes flashed with undisguised admiration, and he thought to himself: Liu Ruyan's charm is indeed unique. This mature and elegant charm is a treasure that has been honed over time.

"You little rascal, you got here pretty fast!"

Liu Ruyan's eyes sparkled, and a smile played on her lips: "How is it? Do you like my outfit today?"

Her tone carried a hint of playful anticipation.

Ye Fan did not answer immediately, but simply closed the door gently behind him, shutting out the outside world.

He stepped forward, a gentle smile on his face, and naturally pulled her into his arms.

He lowered his head, his gaze calmly settling into the depths of her moist eyes.

A silent understanding flowed between them as their eyes met, and the surrounding air seemed to soften.

He slowly lowered his head and placed a gentle and precious kiss on her lips.

"Mmm~"

It was a long and passionate kiss, carrying the complex and unspoken emotions between them. Liu Ruyan was slightly taken aback at first, but then she was also immersed in it, and her hands naturally wrapped around his waist.

After a long while, Ye Fan stepped back a little.

.........

He walked barefoot on the floor and headed straight for the bathroom.

The sound of running water filled the air, and the cool water washed over his body, gradually calming him down from the intimate atmosphere he had just been in.

Water slid down his chin, and the man's eyes in the mirror gradually regained their clarity.

This reborn body is full of incredible vitality and resilience, as if it possesses inexhaustible energy, which makes him marvel once again at the wonderful gift of rebirth.

A dozen minutes later...

The bathroom door was gently pushed open, and Liu Ruyan walked out wrapped in a white bath towel, her warm hair still dripping with water droplets.

Her skin glowed with a healthy sheen after the bath, and her graceful curves, wrapped in a towel, were faintly visible, exuding a languid charm unique to mature women.

Liu Ruyan fiddled with her wet hair and winked at Ye Fan: "You little rascal, bring me the dress from the chair."

Ye Fan took a sip of the cold mineral water, suppressed the last trace of emotion, and got up to walk to the chair.

Picking up the simple yet elegant dress of superior quality, he suddenly realized, a knowing smile playing on his lips: "So this is what you were actually going to wear today? The other outfit..." He deliberately drawled, "was it a 'surprise' you prepared especially for me?"

Liu Ruyan took the dress and, while gracefully putting it on, glanced back at him with a mischievous yet slightly shy smile: "What else? Do you like it?"

Ye Fan nodded, feigning seriousness: "They like it very much! I am very pleased!"

"Really?"

Liu Ruyan fastened the last button, walked up to him, her fingertips slightly damp with coolness, and gently tapped his shoulder. Her eyes sparkled. "Then... shall I prepare another 'surprise' for you next time?"

..........

"Let's go to a coffee shop. I have something important to discuss with you."

The two walked out of the hotel hand in hand, the warm afternoon sun shining on them.

They went into a stylish coffee shop near the hotel.

Sitting by the window, sunlight streams through the glass, casting warm dappled patterns on the table.

Liu Ruyan stretched her long legs, her posture relaxed and elegant. She parted her red lips slightly, with a hint of affectionate coquettishness: "You little rascal, what would you like to drink? Auntie's treating."

"Anything is fine with me, I'll drink whatever I want."

Liu Ruyan skillfully ordered two glasses of fragrant cappuccino from the waiter.

The aroma of coffee quickly filled the air. She leaned comfortably against the back of the soft sofa, her gaze fixed on the bustling street outside the window, the sunlight casting a soft golden glow on her delicate profile.

Ye Fan picked up his coffee cup, took a small sip, and the rich flavor melted on his tongue.

He put down his cup, looked at Liu Ruyan, and his expression became serious and focused: "Bad aunt, the reason I asked you out today is not only to see you, but also because there is something very important I want to discuss with you."

"Hmm?" Liu Ruyan withdrew her gaze and looked at him intently, her eyes gentle yet questioning.

Meeting her gaze, Ye Fan said clearly and solemnly, "I want to start a new company, and I need your help."
