The smell of freshly ground coffee and warm pastries lingered in the air, wrapping the space in a comforting embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated near the window, Jiang Yuxi stirred her drink absently, the soft clink of her spoon against porcelain the only sound at her table. She was dressed in a casual oversized sweater, a cap pulled low over her face, and large shades covering most of her delicate features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the disguise, she still exuded elegance and power—as if the world itself had molded itself to accommodate her presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had come here for quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment away from the industry, the pressures, the constant scrutiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fate had other plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne Han had other plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the café, Daphne spotted her target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart leaped in excitement, though her expression remained neutral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been waiting weeks for this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tracking Jiang Yuxi's movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mapping out the places she visited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting for a chance to \"naturally\" meet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now—here she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vulnerable to a well-timed accidental encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne picked up her coffee cup, stood up, and made her move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She navigated the tables smoothly, angling herself just right—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hot liquid sloshed over the rim of her cup as she bumped straight into Jiang Yuxi's table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>> \"Shit—sorry!\" Daphne exclaimed, grabbing a napkin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuxi's head lifted slightly, her eyes still hidden behind her shades, a slight crease forming between her brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Daphne caught the flicker of recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuxi wasn't just annoyed by the interruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was curious.
