(The ending is terrible. Don't read.)
Xing Mian first met Xing Chuyan at a graduation lecture, where he appeared as an alumnus.
During an audience Q&A, he fell in love with her at first sight.
After the lecture, this alumnus inexplicably cornered Xing Mian by an empty stairwell.
He asked, “Do you have a boyfriend?”
When she said no, he raised the corner of his lips. “Then how about dating me?”
Xing Mian: “I haven't thought about dating anyone.”
Xing Chuyan didn't take it to heart. “You've already graduated from college. You can start thinking about it now.”
Xing Mian: “...”
Xing Chuyan: “Do I come close to the kind of man you'd want to date?”
Xing Mian: “I like mature, gentle men.”
The man in front of her clearly wasn't that type.
Xing Chuyan: “I'm two years older than you. Is that mature enough?”
Xing Mian was speechless. She meant mature in personality!
The man kept pitching himself. “As for being gentle, if that's what you like, from now on I'll save all my tenderness for you alone. So... will you go out with me?”
Later, Xing Mian realized that when the person you truly love appears, all the rules and standards you set beforehand go out the window!
During their year together, the man gave her all the love and affection he had. But things didn't go as they hoped...
Five years later, they met again. She was an assistant designer at an interior design firm, while he was still Xingcheng's untouchable, all-powerful CEO.
Inside the new house, he pretended to look around, then gave her a polite smile and explained, “This place is for my wife. I wasn't satisfied with it at first, but there was no other option. It's close to her workplace, so please do your best with the design, Miss Xing.”
