Everyone in Beijing’s elite circles knew that the eldest daughter of the Ruan family, Ruan Qingxiao, was heartless. After losing to the poor but dazzling Gu Chi at the racetrack, she made a casual bet: “Give me half a month. If I can’t win him over, I’ll write my name backward.”
She approached him with a carefree, game-playing attitude, but he calmly deflected her every time. Until, at an international dance competition, he watched her dance with breathtaking grace, and a dark fire finally kindled in his eyes.
She lost her temper, and he soothed her softly. She acted on a whim, and he indulged her without limit. But no one knew that in private, he would pin the headstrong girl against the wall and kiss her fiercely. “Qingxiao, don’t smile at anyone else.” When she had had her fun, she walked away, ending things abruptly and decisively.
Three years later, they met again at a banquet. He was now a powerful rising star, while her attending physician stood at her side. Ruan Qingxiao turned to flee, but he grabbed her by the waist. “Mrs. Gu, our game is only just beginning.”
