A Warm Sun Over the Wilds

[Male-female romance, school life in the early chapters and workplace drama later]

Lu Chenge was rumored to be cold and heartless, an untouchable beauty no one could ever melt.

Until Chen Miao blazed into his life like a wild, ill-timed fire.

She was the only warmth he allowed near him, and the sole surprise in his carefully planned, ice-cold world.

Then came a check, and a sudden disappearance without a word.

Five years later, they meet again at work. He’s a powerful tycoon at the top of the business world, while she’s a project manager fighting her way up.

At the negotiating table, he stays strictly professional, his tone distant. “Manager Chen, please be more professional.”

Chen Miao smiles more brightly than she did back then. “Of course, Mr. Lu.”

Then he finds in the wallet she left behind a photo of them on a Ferris wheel, along with a lollipop wrapper, carefully laminated but faded with age.

That night, he corners her. His usual composure crumbles completely, his eyes reddening. “Chen Miao, I regret it… What will it take for you to come back?”
