[Urban workplace + rekindled romance + flirtatious push and pull + carefully orchestrated plans]
[Glamorous jewelry designer + calculating, restrained CEO]
Six years ago, a misunderstanding sent them in opposite directions. She caused the death of his closest family member, and he likewise caused the deaths of her parents.
Six years later, at a class reunion,
Shen Zhibu never expected to run into him when she was at her lowest, in such a wretched state.
Xiang Hengnan, the man who had once hurt her, the same Xiang Hengnan with whom she shared a bitter grudge.
All she wanted was to hide from him, for the rest of her life.
Later, for the sake of her family and their interests, she chose to marry him and use him.
The man’s eyes reddened as he spoke in a trembling voice:
“I’m willing to be used by you.”
Shen Zhibu didn’t know that he had spent six years searching for her, all so he could bring her back to his side. The cabinets in his home’s basement were filled with traces of their past love.
The morning after a night of drinking, Shen Zhibu faced off against Xiang Hengnan, wrapped in a thin blanket.
His shirt was buttoned wrong, revealing his abs, while the red marks on her neck had yet to fade.
“Mr. Xiang, you were very well-behaved last night. What reward do you want?”
“You.”
The promise they made beneath the cherry blossoms six years ago has become a tempestuous undercurrent before the floor-to-ceiling windows today.
"Love between adults is"
She teased his tie in her slender heels. “Have you had enough of looking, Mr. Xiang?”
He restrained himself as he unclasped the chain around her leg. “Are you sure you can handle this, Director Shen?”
When glamorous thorns meet an abstinent glacier, this six-year-long game of pursuit
who is laying plans at every turn, and who is steadily losing ground?
◆ Relentless push and pull / turbulent undercurrents / addictive flirtation
◆ Glamorous, formidable jewelry designer × a CEO whose actions belie his words
