[One True Pairing, Both Leads Pure, Love-Struck Male Lead, Money-Loving Female Lead, Secret Crush Turns Mutual, Plot-Focused]
[Yanjin x Su Wanxiang]
[Concrete Worker CEO x Imprisoned Canary]
After Su Wanxiang was released from prison, she saw Yanjin again at a dusty construction site. He was taking a cheap cigarette from a coworker.
A concrete slab stood between them as fine dust swirled in the sunset.
Yanjin was bare-chested, a cigarette dangling from his lips. He looked laid-back, like a handsome rogue on a construction site, and his beautiful eyes were fixed on her without blinking.
The second time Su Wanxiang ran into him was in a dim alley, where he was being pinned to the ground and beaten because he had delivered an order late.
At the clinic, Su Wanxiang stared at the terrifying marks across his waist, her voice trembling. "Who did this to you?"
"I was five minutes late with a delivery. Those guys had been drinking..." he said lightly, as if he were talking about someone else's experience.
"Why don't you go back to Nancheng?" Su Wanxiang blurted out. Or... go abroad? That would be better than staying here..."
"The person I want to see is here. How could I leave?" Su Wanxiang looked up sharply and met his tender, burning gaze.
Later, they registered their marriage. There was no ring and no wedding. Su Wanxiang had already prepared herself to live in poverty for the rest of her life, but who could have guessed that her concrete worker husband would transform once again into the richest man in the country?
