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

Suddenly realizing she had just taken a shower and was still in her pajamas, Chen Ningxi quickly ran to the bathroom, took off the towel wrapping her hair, and dried it. Her face looking a bit pale, she applied a thin layer of lipstick to boost her complexion, returned to the bedroom, changed into casual clothes, and sat in the living room waiting for someone.


Calculating the time according to Cheng Qiaobei's notice, she estimated it would take about an hour, but she felt inexplicably flustered, and had to go to the kitchen to drink a cup of hot milk to relieve the nervousness.


She had anticipated what would happen next, which only made her more anxious.


An hour later, the door was opened from the outside. Chen Ningxi got up with a pretense of calmness and went to the entrance hall. The two of them exchanged glances, unable to hide certain emotions in their eyes.


Cheng Qiaobei smiled, "Were you waiting for me?"
