[Reunion After Years Apart + Clear-Headed Heroine + The Hero's Long Road to Winning Her Back + Romantic Push and Pull + Elite Beijing Social Circle]
[Cold, Aristocratic Heir to a Powerful Family * Granddaughter of a Personal Driver]
Xu Chenyuan's grandfather died saving the overlord of Beijing's elite circle. Her father went to prison, leaving her family ruined. She was taken in by the Shen family and doted on by everyone there, except for the young master of the family, who despised her.
Five years later, Shen Zezhou returned to the country. He still found fault with her at every turn, even breaking up the new relationship she'd just started.
The five years hadn't dulled his resentment. Instead, his hatred of her had only grown.
Xu Chenyuan decided to stay away from Shen Zezhou and leave the capital for good.
Everyone knew Shen Zezhou was deeply in love with Lin Ruojia, and Xu Chenyuan thought so too.
Until an encounter with danger, when Shen Zezhou, visibly anxious, carefully soothed her and told her not to be afraid. By the time Xu Chenyuan realized something was off, it was too late.
But women who liked Shen Zezhou were everywhere, and the dirty tricks aimed at her, one after another, left Xu Chenyuan exhausted.
She had always understood that powerful families could only go further by joining forces with equals, so she never dared set her heart on someone who wasn't hers to have.
To avoid affecting Shen Zezhou's choices, she left the city he lived in and walked away from all the turmoil. She thought she could live out the rest of her long life in peace, but no matter which city she went to, Shen Zezhou would turn up there.
At the airport departure gate.
Wearing a trench coat and pushing his suitcase, Shen Zezhou approached her with an air of triumph. "What a coincidence, Miss Xu. We meet again."
Used to Shen Zezhou appearing in the most random places, Xu Chenyuan slumped tiredly into a chair and sighed. "Shen Zezhou, I'm tired. Let's go home!"
