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

Interests are the foundation of all utilitarian relationships.


Whenever you measure and think from the perspective of interests, you become astute and sagacious. But if you mix in emotions, no matter how you consider it, you will become incredibly foolish.


Previously, Cheng Qiaobei still harbored father-son affection towards their relationship. Once he discovered that he didn't marry the person Cheng Xiangheng had chosen for him, he then thoroughly became a chess piece in his hands.


Thus, the essence of their relationship is an exchange of interests.


This is just like ordinary families raising children, mostly to ensure someone will take care of them in old age. For Cheng Xiangheng, he is but a tool to extract maximum benefit.


Both are about expectations and returns.


Cheng Xiangheng is indeed very realistic. "How soon can you achieve it?"


He means, how soon can you manage it before agreeing.
