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

Wei Lai left with Cheng Qiaobei. In the elevator, Wei Lai said,  


"Sending a girl to the police station, isn't that a bit too much?"  


Cheng Qiaobei's indifferent gaze shifted over, and Wei Lai immediately realized she had said the wrong thing.  


She explained, "I didn't mean anything else, just thought she's young, maybe we could give her a chance."  


Cheng Qiaobei lowered his gaze and said, "Don't judge people by appearances. From a distance, everyone seems kind, but once you see through, you should know not everyone is kind. Telling a lie once might be a timid disguise, but what about the second time, the third time? Lying is human nature. Oftentimes, we can't even be honest with ourselves. She has lied too many times, repeatedly trying to deceive us with lies not because she feels guilty for knowing she did wrong, but to get out of the situation at hand."  


Wei Lai nodded, "You gave her a chance. If she didn't take it, that's her problem."
