Sweetheart

"Oh my, that's so sweet! You guys are practically throwing relationship hints around, and here I am, a single soul, feeling like a stray dog," Tong Fei's friend playfully remarked.

Tong Fei blushed and joked, "You're asking for trouble."

"You and Mr. Gu seem to be getting cozy. He's the total package, handsome and loaded. He's like the dream catch for countless women. You better seize this opportunity. Once it's gone, there won't be another chance like this."

"I'd love to, you know? But, as you're aware, I'm in the public eye. If I make a move that looks like I'm pushing for marriage and it hits the headlines, it'll tarnish my image," Tong Fei replied, her tone a mix of frustration and resignation.
