Untamed Desire

[Reunion after years apart + mending a broken relationship + mutual devotion + tough words, tender hearts + devoted 1v1]

[Cool, elegant CEO ✘ aloof, beautiful designer]

In high school, everyone knew that Ruan Qingqiu and Pei Yuchen were dating. Everyone knew she was the one person he would never let anyone hurt.

On the afternoon after the college entrance exams, a sudden downpour swept across the sky. The young man went to find her with a bouquet of sunflowers he had ordered in advance.

“Pei Yuchen, let’s break up.”

For the first time, the proud golden boy who had never bowed his head to anyone had red-rimmed eyes as he knelt and begged her. “Qingqiu, can we please not break up?”

That very afternoon, she boarded a plane overseas. Everything seemed to sink beneath the sea, leaving no trace.

When they met again eight years later, Pei Yuchen had shed his youthful awkwardness and become a rising star in the business world of Jingbei, while she had become an internationally renowned fashion designer.

At the Junyue Club, he pinned her against the hallway door. His eyes were bloodshot, his clear dark gaze edged with a chilling sharpness, and his hand tightened involuntarily around her neck.

“Ruan Qingqiu, how dare you come back here? How dare you let me see you again?”

“What the hell did you take me for?!”

-

That rain had never truly stopped. It had fallen relentlessly for eight years, soaking both their hearts to the core.

And that separation, stretching over eight long years, had trapped them both in the past.
