[Sweet romance with an age gap + rekindled love + workplace]
The male lead is emotionally steady and has always loved her.
The once-wealthiest Xu family in East City went bankrupt. No, the Xu clan still stands strong, but Xu Nian’s own family has fallen apart.
Her first love abandoned her, her family was stripped of its power, her father died under mysterious circumstances, and her mother took pills and followed him in death. Forced to marry a fool and with nowhere to turn, she was so desperate that she hastily married anyone she could.
She married a man who would never love her, just to cling to life.
Three years later, she finally gave up and divorced him.
The scumbag who had initiated their breakup was now a rising star in the industry, no longer the poor boy he had once been.
Why did he keep showing up, haunting her wherever she went?
“I charge by the second.” The man’s gaze settled on her.
Xu Nian nodded without hesitation, then gave a derisive laugh, refusing to back down.
“You really should charge by the second. Every extra second means you earn nothing. I just didn’t expect Lawyer Gu to cost more by day than at night.”
Xu Nian’s voice was full of regret. She shook her head and watched the man’s expression darken completely.
She was delighted inside. He couldn’t win an argument with me back then, and becoming a lawyer clearly hadn’t improved his eloquence.
Gu Yi’s lips moved. He let out a sigh. The young woman still held a grudge. If only he’d known back then… How could he ever have let her go?
