More Than Just Friends

[Both are each other’s only one, childhood sweethearts, arranged marriage between families, ten years of secret love] [A gorgeous, candy-colored, top star vs. a playboy, troublemaking CEO] A playboy turned devoted lover? A long road to winning her back? First she suffers, then he does. School days in the first half, then city life and the entertainment industry. Fan Anjin and Lu Jingming grew up together. They were always bickering, loving and hating each other in equal measure. From middle school on, Lu Jingming was never single for long. Fan Anjin could only watch the boy she liked cycle through new girlfriends every day, staying by his side year after year as nothing more than a friend... Then, in high school, a place finally opened up by his side. Urged on by her friends, Fan Anjin confessed to Lu Jingming. In a narrow alley, she lowered her head and tugged at his sleeve. “I’ve liked you for a long time.” Lu Jingming froze for a moment, then quickly returned to his usual flippant manner. “Don’t mess around.” Fan Anjin looked up into his eyes. “I’m serious.” Lu Jingming was silent for a while before speaking. “Anjin, I’m not right for you.” “You’ve never even dated me. How do you know we’re not right for each other? You’ll give any girl you just met a chance, but you won’t give me one?” By then, Fan Anjin’s eyes were already wet. “You know what I’m like when I’m dating someone. I...” Before Lu Jingming could finish, Fan Anjin looked at him and answered earnestly, “I can handle it!” With that, she pulled him down by his clothes, and they kissed... After they got together, the girl Lu Jingming had sponsored, the one whose life he had once saved, came between them, and they ended up breaking up. By the time Lu Jingming learned the truth, it was too late... When they met again, two years had passed, and their families had arranged for them to marry...
