A companion novel to Night Crossing the Begonias
[An old flame rekindled × the other man wins her over]
“He'd spent half his life as a playboy, only to fall for a young woman.”
[Their first meeting]
“Little friend.” Guo Mingwen deliberately softened his voice. “How about I trade this diamond ring for the rose in your hand?”
He opened his palm, and the diamond ring glittered in the sunlight.
Wen Li froze for a moment, then shook her head and hid the flower behind her back. “I don't want it.”
Twelve years later.
Guo Mingwen, a powerful figure in Hong Kong's entertainment industry, met the actress Wen Li again.
They agreed to a brief, no-strings-attached affair.
Later, he was the first to break their agreement.
He even lowered himself to become the other man, all for the chance to make her look his way once more.
Later still, he gripped her waist and pinned her against the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Victoria Harbour, his voice fierce:
“Wen Li, I've been your dog for two years. When are you finally going to make me official?!”
[Reader Advisory]
1. The female lead has a boyfriend, and the male lead methodically entices her.
2. The male lead has an ex-girlfriend, but there's no lingering entanglement.
3. They have a thirteen-year age gap. This is a wild, sensual romance between adults.
4. Neither lead is a virgin. Readers who prefer chaste romances, please don't read. Thank you.
I didn't realize I had read this book before. I clicked in again after such a long time, and I can understand the uneasiness of the heroine. I really sympathize with Wei Lan. Shao You's wife just regarded her as a lover, so he forced her to separate from her boyfriend. She also treated her boyfriend like that. She didn't even have the right to resist. What scares me even more is that Luo Zheng was sent away by the male protagonist. The female protagonist sympathized with Wei Lan, but because of the interest relationship between the male protagonist and Shao, she could only stand on Shao's side and couldn't even help Wei Lan. When I saw this paragraph, I really understood why the heroine didn't dare to marry the hero. What if he also looks for a woman after marriage and treats her like this after he doesn't love her? The heroine really has no ability to resist at all.
I really like this book! Wenli's fragile and gentle but extremely resilient character makes people feel heartbroken. I hope the heroine can make the hero more generous and warm so that the heroine can rely on. I hope the author can write more every day!
It's so beautiful, read carefully without skipping chapters.
