The Morandi color palette refers to colors with low saturation and a muted, smoky feel.
Chen Ningxi, who usually seems untouched by worldly concerns, finds herself unexpectedly moved upon meeting Cheng Qiaobei, who embodies the Morandi hues.
At their first meeting, Cheng Qiaobei is in a subordinate position, striving to meet the demands of Chen Ningxi’s client role.
Three days later, they meet again when Cheng Qiaobei is inspecting a hotel and Chen Ningxi, a VIP client, calls to make a complaint that goes directly to his office.
Two weeks later, a newly built chain hotel urgently requires electric equipment installation approval, and the responsible person is Chen Ningxi.
Cheng Qiaobei visits her for negotiations but gets caught in the middle of Chen Ningxi’s blind date, and weighing his options, he lets himself be used as a temporary shield to deflect the matchmaker.
With a glance, they fulfill each other's needs—he gets the approval, and she avoids matchmaking.
In the charade of their fake relationship, they end up truly connecting. He gets drunk, she listens earnestly; he's busy, she remains focused on her work.
He does not intrude on her, and she does not disturb him. Chen Ningxi realizes she might have found someone easy to get along with and never tires of.
Regarding love, Chen Ningxi has the ability to both love deeply and restrain herself. In terms of career, Cheng Qiaobei has the capability to conjure miracles and rise again from setbacks.
As for them, they are a couple wandering within the hues of the Morandi palette.

Fated Love With the Billionaire

Chen Ningxi glanced at Cheng Qiaobei from the corner of her eye and saw him busily grabbing food for himself. She turned her back to Cheng Qiaobei and said to the person on the phone:


"Mom, I'm eating out right now, I'll call you back after I finish."


Ye Yujun on the other end of the phone nagged, "Eating out again, it's unsanitary outside. If you don't want to cook in the future, come home to eat."


Chen Ningxi lied, "I'm eating with my colleagues, okay, I'm hanging up now."


Just after putting down her phone, she heard Cheng Qiaobei mimicking her tone in a mocking voice: "I'm eating with my colleagues, haha."


"..." She knew his mouth wasn't just for decoration.


Chen Ningxi said: "Haven't you ever told a white lie when your mom nagged you?"


Seeing her looking righteous and indignant, Cheng Qiaobei couldn't be bothered to respond, "Yeah, yeah, you're right."


Seeing his reluctant attitude, she retorted to Cheng Qiaobei: "Can you guarantee you've never told one?"
