Reunion After Years Apart + Rekindled Romance + The Ex's Long Road to Winning Her Back + Devoted to Each Other + A Cold, Wealthy Heir Desperately Pursues Her
At the year-end meeting, several research patents that Ye Wanxi worked on come under scrutiny. The one raising doubts is her first love, whom she has not seen in years.
Seven years apart, and she has long since changed her name and even her face.
Gu Yanli only feels that Ye Wanxi has an air about her much like his ex-girlfriend, who vanished without a word.
A leading researcher asks Ye Wanxi, "Aren't you afraid of anything? Why did you start crying just because the boss asked you a few questions?"
Ye Wanxi wipes the tear from the corner of her eye. "I gave everything for this company, and the boss still doubts me. Shouldn't I cry?"
As a teenager, Ye Wanxi took a job as a nightclub waitress to save up for tuition, only to become the antidote for a wealthy heir from Jiangcheng on his coming-of-age night.
A scandalous rumor rocks Jiang University: the icy, aloof Gu Yanli, Jiangcheng's wealthy young heir, is secretly dating an ugly girl from the slums.
She is the poor, shabby girl everyone avoids, ugly beyond measure.
Holding a glass of wine, he gazes deeply at her, a mocking curve on his lips. "I'm almost bored of her. Dump her before graduation!"
Ye Wanxi ended the romance that had once filled her with countless beautiful dreams.
When they meet again, she is caught completely off guard.
She keeps lowering her profile, again and again, only to end up in his bed.
He insists on naming her specifically and making her handle everything herself. He even shamelessly has his subordinate take him to her dorm when he is drunk.
"Gu Yanli, I'll talk money, not feelings!"
The man pulls his phone from his pocket and immediately transfers every asset he can to her account. Then he grips her waist and kisses her fiercely. "You can have all my money, and my life too!"
