The capital’s wealthy heir vs. the Lingnan sweetheart
When Lingnan girl Lin Wan first arrived in Jingbei, the dry autumn wind made her cough.
On her first day of school, she was working part-time as a server at an upscale club when she unexpectedly came across Zhou Yubai, who had been drugged. Acting on instinct, she dragged the handsome man back to her cramped rental apartment.
When Zhou Yubai woke up, he saw the Lingnan girl making congee. “You saved me? What do you want in return?”
Lin Wan shook her head. “It was nothing. You should get going, sir.”
The next day, she discovered that Zhou Yubai was the new economics professor. From the lectern, he fixed her with a deep gaze. “You there, answer this question.”
Lin Wan stood up nervously, only to hear him say softly, “The congee last night was delicious.”
Word around the capital was that the Zhou family’s young master had recently developed a taste for Lingnan cuisine, and had even started learning to make soup himself. Then Lin Wan was anonymously accused of academic misconduct. For the first time, he called on his family’s power. “Find out who dared go after her.”
She drew back. “We’re too different...”
He took out two plane tickets. “Grandma wants to meet you. She says a Lingnan daughter-in-law ought to know how to make a proper slow-simmered soup.”
