[Age gap + Jiangnan beauty + Suzhou storytelling ballads + reunion after years apart]
[Aloof, ruthless man in power × gentle, timid young woman]
(Some feelings are kept hidden: you can't speak of them, can't dwell on them, yet can't forget them.)
The man from the Meng family of Shencheng, whom everyone respectfully called Mr. Meng, disliked actors and despised the entertainment industry. He even criticized it publicly and declared he would never invest in it.
Years later, when they met again, their first reunion was in bed! Mr. Meng, who was famously immune to scandals, didn't throw her out.
Angry that she had once lied about not wanting to leave Gusu because she wanted to run a teahouse and perform storytelling ballads, only to come to Shencheng and join the entertainment industry to make money, he spoke in a cool, cutting tone.
“This is certainly a rather original way to meet.”
“Look at you, climbing into a man's bed now?”
The Rabbit Miss's eyes reddened, and Meng Jingxing immediately surrendered.
Meng Jingxing said he didn't care why she had become an actress, yet he kept moving closer and quietly eliminated every threat.
He showed up in the entertainment industry again and again, investing in a number of TV dramas. His earlier words came back to face-slap him completely.
When a reporter asked him about it, Meng Jingxing sat in the main seat, casually adjusted his glasses, and replied in a calm, cool voice, “A new hobby.”
Years later, at an awards ceremony, Meng Jingxing finally understood.
He wasn't the only one moved by the song “Love's Trial.”
In the misty Jiangnan rain, with clouds drifting and water vapor hanging in the air, she stepped beneath an oil-paper umbrella and straight into his heart.
(The story turns sweet after chapter forty-something~)
Haha, I saw it a little too fast. I probably didn't notice a lot of details. It's very beautiful.
