Capturing Summer

Second Male Lead Takes the Lead + Both Are Each Other's Only + Secret Crush + Ex-Chasing-Gone-Wrong

The elite circles of the capital know Lin Xia, known as the capital's golden-armed investor, and Chen Zhou, CEO of Zhouchen Tech, have been childhood friends. They've known each other since they were young. After the earthquake in 2008, Lin Xia pursued him from the age of eleven to twenty-eight, for a full seventeen years, from China to the UK and finally to the US. Everyone thought they would end up together. Lin Xia thought so too.

But Chen Zhou changed. He would lash out and hit the girl he'd wanted to marry since he was nine, and eventually humiliated Lin Xia in front of everyone at a financial salon, speaking of her as if she were an object. At last, Lin Xia ended their relationship, which had never quite been love.

Min Qian was Lin Xia's former boss and one of the leading figures in China's financial world.

After Lin Xia broke up with Chen Zhou, Min Qian decisively hired her back at his company.

He was a man of contradictions: domineering yet gentle, sharp-tongued yet thoughtful. Before long, he filled every corner of Lin Xia's life, and she inevitably fell for him.

Later, drunk and sounding as though she had admitted defeat, Lin Xia confessed to Min Qian, “I'll secretly, quietly love you, and then secretly, quietly stop loving you.”

That night, Lin Xia clung to Min Qian and wouldn't let him leave. While they were tangled up together, Chen Zhou called.

As Min Qian kissed her, he coaxed her into saying, “Tell him to get lost. I'm kissing Min Qian.”

He deliberately let Chen Zhou hear hints of how intimate he and Lin Xia were, just to drive him to despair.

When Chen Zhou called in the middle of the night, Min Qian said smugly, “I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. She's exhausted and asleep in my bed.”

Lin Xia learned later that she could reach out and catch the moon.
