The CEO’s First Love Returns from Abroad

When Ling Jingyuan, a second-year student, welcomed the new freshmen, he met Jian Yao, a girl one year below him. She was growing into a graceful young woman, as beautiful and unreal as a lotus rising unstained from the mud. They met again a year later at a debate competition, where he learned her name: Jian Yao. Yao was the very definition of beauty: cheerful and sunny, pure and spotless, just like her name. From then on, he could no longer hold back the feelings sparked by that unforgettable first glimpse, and he pursued her relentlessly. Before long, the university had a couple everyone envied. They vowed to spend their lives together, but their relationship came to an end the year Jian Yao graduated. That year, Jian Yao went abroad, while Ling Jingyuan took over the family business. It seemed they had lost all connection. But fate played a trick on them. Three years later, Jian Yao returned home, and on her very first day back, they met again. They both seemed to have changed, and yet somehow remained the same.
