After the two received their marriage certificate, they returned to the ancient town museum for a visit. Mi Li's eyes sparkled with excitement as she looked at the ancient artifacts in the display cases. Ji Xiaocheng, curious, asked, "What's so interesting about these old things?"
When it came to ancient artifacts, Mi Li, who had a background in archaeology, became animated and launched into an enthusiastic discourse: "Of course they are interesting! Each artifact has its own story. It might have once been a jade piece held by emperors and generals or jewelry worn by noble ladies. They have witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties, the joys and sorrows of life. As archaeologists, we strive to reconstruct the lives of those who came before us based on the traces they left behind, listening to the stories that these artifacts tell."
He watched her with admiration as her eyes shone with an unprecedented fervor. His thin lips gradually pressed together as he thought, "Perhaps I shouldn't keep you tied to my side. The decision I made to bring you into my life was selfish."
"What? Did you drop a pie on me?"
It wasn't until today that Mi Li realized there was no luck involved; after she rushed the unconscious President Ji to the hospital that day, she hurried off to a job interview at the research institute and accidentally left behind a resume.
Seeing her job hunting, he opened a backdoor for her.
Ji Xiaocheng reminisced, "I've never seen a woman as foolish as you, singing and telling stories to someone who was unconscious while encouraging me not to give up. Did you think I was in a vegetative state?"
"When did you wake up?"
"I woke up when you were giving me artificial respiration."
Mi Li was momentarily stunned before realizing that she had been putting on a show for him that day. This guy's act of playing dead was more sophisticated than that of Hollywood actors.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She reached out her hand and said, "So shouldn't you pay me back for the medical expenses?"
Ji Xiaocheng smirked, "Your person is mine, so naturally your money is also mine."
What nonsense! Shouldn't that be something a woman says? The dignified general manager was actually trying to avoid paying; she felt embarrassed for him.
After they returned home, the chairman was furious and announced to the media that Ji Xiaocheng's position as general manager of Ceres had been terminated and that he would not accept Mi Li as his daughter-in-law due to her unclear background.
Mi Li never expected President Ji's father to be so ruthless; in order to force Ji Xiaocheng to reconcile with Li Fei'er, he didn't hesitate to dismiss his own son.
The Chairman spoke to Mi Li privately, stating that as long as she left, President Ji would be reinstated.
Mi Li was determined to protect their love; no matter how many storms came her way, she wanted to trample them underfoot.
Love is selfish, yet also selfless.
She could not ruin her lover's bright future and could only sign the divorce agreement in pain, quietly leaving S City with the archaeological team organized by the University Professor.
For three months, they ventured deep into the mountains, cut off from the world without any network signal.
Scenes of Li Fei'er walking down the aisle in a wedding dress with Ji Xiaocheng repeatedly appeared in her dreams, turning into nightmares that left Mi Li waking up in tears every night. It turned out that having once possessed something was far more cruel than never having it at all, because she would reminisce, miss it, and feel unwilling to let go...
Under the scorching sun, Mi Li followed the professor into an underground cave with a shovel in hand. The intense work had caused her to lose a lot of weight recently; she was physically and mentally exhausted, her strength nearly depleted.
Suddenly, loose stones fell beneath her feet. In a daze, Mi Li slipped and rolled down into the pit.
Then came the deafening roar of collapsing rocks, crashing down like a torrential storm. Smaller stones landed on her while larger ones blocked the entrance.
The professor's shouts from above became unclear. Mi Li felt pain all over but surprisingly experienced little fear; instead, a sense of relief washed over her.
Ji Xiaocheng's face echoed in her mind, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly: finally getting what she sought.
Charging toward the most dangerous places every day—wasn't this the escape she desired?
Time passed without her noticing. Mi Li's consciousness gradually faded as sweet moments with Ji Xiaocheng flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.
She longed to grasp his figure, but he walked further away from her with his back turned.
In her final moments of awareness, a blinding light pierced through. Mi Li seemed to hear a long-awaited voice—so urgent and so anxious...
Mi Li felt that she must have gone to heaven; otherwise, how could she see President Ji?
Ji Xiaocheng, dressed in a dirty mountaineering outfit, held Mi Li in his arms. Seeing her wake up, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell. Heaven knows how devastated he felt when he traveled thousands of miles only to find out she was buried in a cave.
"Running away on your own, you can escape the death penalty but not the living punishment. I was too good to you, which made you bolder. Even after we got our marriage certificate, you dared to leave me and not uphold your duties as a wife."
Ji Xiaocheng's eyes were red, tears swirling within them. He pinched Mi Li's cheek, intending to scold her, but after missing her for three months and experiencing a thrilling rescue, all he wanted now was to hold her tightly and repay his longing.
Mi Li couldn't believe that she could still feel his warm embrace in this lifetime. Tears rushed out as she said, "Thank you for not scolding me."
Ji Xiaocheng checked her body and found only a few scrapes. He felt completely relieved and helplessly stroked her head. "It's good that you realize your mistake. Silly woman, my life doesn't need you to take responsibility for me! A man like your husband is sought after wherever he goes. Next month, I will take up the position of general manager at Mantley Hotel and allow you to pursue your archaeological dreams, but you can never come to such dangerous places again. Also, you must not leave me!"
"I won't leave. From now on, even if you try to drive me away, I will cling to you tightly and never let go."
Tears sparkled in Mi Li's eyes, yet a radiant smile blossomed on her lips.
Tears mixed with happy laughter; Mi Li finally reaped the rewards after enduring hardships.
Cinderella claiming her prince is the Golden Rule.
Ji Xiaocheng passionately kissed her, pouring all his endless longing into that kiss. Mi Li was his treasure that he would never want to let go of until death.
