[Secret crush + bad boy turns over a new leaf + reunion after years apart + groveling to win her back]
[Tank butterfly ✖ charitable bad boy]
1.
The crush began at Lu Lichen's graduation party. Everyone was cheering wildly when Yu Qian heard someone joking around.
She also saw the man hand his glass to the woman beside him and say with a lazy smile, “What do you mean, she's mine?”
Someone explained on Lu Lichen's behalf that she was the daughter of his younger great-uncle's mistress.
Yu Qian's face flushed bright red. She never forgot how Lu Lichen had described her: “The kid's pretty interesting.”
She lowered her head and quietly took off the childish butterfly hair clip.
2.
When Yu Qian heard Lu Lichen had gone to the United States after graduating, she scrimped and saved to apply for an exchange program.
As they sat on Santa Monica Beach, Lu Lichen turned to her and asked, “Coming with me?”
Go with him? Yu Qian gave a bitter smile. “For how long?”
“Two months.” The exchange program would end in two months.
Yu Qian was willing to spend those two months easing his loneliness.
3.
They reunited in Tijuana after years apart. Yu Qian never expected a spoiled playboy like Lu Lichen to become a career humanitarian at an NGO. Her supervisor assigned her to arrange accommodations for Lu Lichen and his team.
There weren't enough rooms, so someone had to sleep in the bunk beds in Yu Qian's room.
Young Master Lu had long since lost his fussy ways. “There are nothing but strange men out there. Why don't you just make do with me?”
After years of roughing it overseas, Yu Qian no longer cared. “Either way works. I take the top, you take the bottom?”
Lu Lichen looked at the cigarette between her fingers and said in a low voice, “Put it out, and I'll let you take the top.”
“A story about a woman determined to become a force to be reckoned with, who learns the hard way that your man is still your man, even if he rolls over.”
