Lina looked at Zuko for a while and asked softly, “I’m indignant, but what else can I do? The Grist Group is a big

business, and crushing us is as simple as crushing an ant to them.

“It’s my fault, actually.” She smiled bitterly. “I shouldn’t have impulsively reported problems with their products, and

I shouldn’t have gathered the merchants to boycott them. Sigh… I’m the one who suffered in the end, right? The

merchants I approached are still selling the Grist Group’s products!”

“Mm, it’s good that you recognize your mistake,” said Zuko with a calm expression.

Lina lowered her eyes and remained silent.

“A company like the Grist Group that’s devoid of conscience will only disrupt the market order by continuing to

exist.” Zuko looked at her and said, “So, you were right in seeking justice, just using the wrong method.”

Lina bit her lip. She had always thought he was reticent, but he spoke so much today.

“But you…” She hesitated for a moment and asked, “Do you have any good ideas?”

“No,” said Zuko.

Even if he had any, he would not tell her. If this girl was not speaking honestly with him, he would have no reason to

confide in her.

“Oh…” Lina nodded, and the atmosphere became awkward. Both of them did not know what to say next.

Seeing her hesitation, Zuko suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He raised an eyebrow, his eyes carrying a hint of slyness, and said softly, “But if there’s a good plan in the future,

we can work together. How about that?”

“Huh?” Lina was initially startled, and then a sweet smile appeared on her face. “Okay!”

The distant lights reflected on her profile, with the sea and the starry sky behind her in harmony.

Zuko thought he had seen many elegant and charming ladies from prominent families, each vying to be more

captivating than the other. However, it was the first time he looked at a girl, unable to take his eyes off her like he

was looking at Lina now.

His mother managed half of the entertainment industry, and many female celebrities regarded him as a stepping

stone to cut short their struggle by 20 years, rushing to throw themselves at him. Being overly protected since

childhood, he did not understand the treacherousness of human hearts. Time and again, the paparazzi would take

his photos, and they would make it to the trending searches.

When he caused yet another scandal, Zephyr could not hold back anymore, saying, “What exactly do you want to

do? Have you ever thought about your future?”

Zuko stubbornly remained silent.

Indeed, he had pondered his future. Perhaps the lingering memory of Pammy’s disappearance at sea

subconsciously led him to yearn for a girl who would be linked to the seaside, with eyes as sparkling as the stars,

capable of creating waves of emotions, and a lifetime filled with love and tenderness.

Lina, who was currently before him…

“Hey, Zeke!” Lina waved her hand in front of him. “Why are you daydreaming?”

Zuko suddenly snapped out of it, feeling for the first time that his heartbeat was out of his control.

“Zeke?”

“Oh…” He turned his face away, not looking into her eyes. “It’s nothing, just feeling a bit warm.”

“Warm?” Lina was puzzled for a moment. “I feel fine. The sea breeze is quite cool. I’m even a little cold!”

Zuko momentarily paused, took off his long-sleeved shirt, and intended to casually drape it over her. However, his

hands went out of control, and he covered her face with it directly.

“Ah!” Lina was startled and pushed her head out from the shirt, staring at him in astonishment.

“Aren’t you cold?” Zuko’s voice was colder than the sea breeze. “Put it on, and let’s go back!”

After speaking, he stuck his hands in his pockets and walked ahead with long strides.

Lina had to jog to keep up with his pace. “Hey, Zeke, wait for me! This path is dark, and there are no lights. Will it

cost your life to wait for me?

“Zeke!”

Zuko listened to the hurried footsteps behind him as he looked at the starry sky. For some reason, a smile

involuntarily formed on his lips, refusing to fade away.

…

These days, the Jenners’ lives remained as peaceful as usual.

However, the neighbors kept gossiping about their unexpected guest.

Fortunately, Jesse and Melissa were not the types to care about the opinions of others, and they comforted their

children. “People will always talk, so let them say whatever they want! As long as we live comfortably ourselves,

that’s all that matters.”
