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.

She believed Cheng Qiaobei's impulse was a true expression of his feelings at that moment, but who would pay for the consequences of such an impulse?


Chen Ningxi stiffened, her instinctive reaction already revealing her attitude. Cheng Qiaobei knew she wasn't ready and slowly released her with a smile, saying,


Smart people don't need to say things too bluntly, as making things clear only makes oneself look bad. Chen Ningxi followed his lead and treated it as a joke, replying,


"Stop teasing, go check if Auntie has arrived at the entrance."


Cheng Qiaobei glanced at his watch; there were ten minutes until the agreed time. "She should be here soon. It's a bit of a traffic jam in Ningkou tonight; she's probably on the way. I'll call her and ask."
