Summer's Lingering Warmth

【Rekindled Romance // Mutual Healing // Half Campus, Half City Life // Both Pure and Happy Ending】 Jiang Shengxia was never wanted by her parents. When she was seventeen, her father fled after running up debts, and her mother left with her younger brother, leaving her with nothing but a dilapidated house, a mountain of gambling debts, and merciless creditors. To stay alive, she knocked on Wen Xuning’s door. At nineteen, in the midst of their tender, ambiguous relationship, he said in a broken voice, “We’ve already been together as husband and wife. When are you going to give me a proper title?” The next day, Jiang Shengxia was gone from Wen Xuning’s world. Until she came back seven years later. He was the untouchable Mr. Wen, and she was Jiang, his secretary on call around the clock. He kept her tightly bound to his side. “I’ve always been a wolf, but this is the first time the little lamb I raised has bitten me back. Jiang Shengxia, you’ve got some nerve.” Jiang Shengxia shoved the man off her and shot back, “At least I’ve got what it takes. Unlike you, Mr. Wen.” That night, Jiang Shengxia surrendered again and again, but Wen Xuning showed no intention of letting her go. “Seven years, Jiang Shengxia. The interest alone is enough to make you pay.” /Even a wild rose can grow proud and strong, blooming more brilliantly with every passing day. /My youth was buried in that summer, and in that same summer, I was born anew.
