[Untouchable heartthrob × avoidant little bunny, eight-year age gap, mutual secret crush, sweet romance and delicious tension, sugary sweet from start to finish!]
Two years ago, Jiang Zhi stumbled into a hotel room while drunk and spent the night using her best friend's uncle, Qin Yanci, as a body pillow. When she woke at dawn, his low, husky voice brushed her ear: “Be good and call me big brother, and I'll let you go.”
She ran from him for two years.
When they meet again, he's sitting in a sharply tailored suit in the CEO's office. He's her new boss.
“Little one, you spent two years avoiding me. Haven't you had enough?” He smiles casually, but possessive obsession churns in his eyes.
Jiang Zhi thinks it's just a coincidence, unaware that this “chance encounter” is the result of a plan five years in the making. He remembers every word she mumbled while drunk, bought the coffee shop she frequents, upgraded the security in her apartment complex, and always makes sure there's a warm latte at her desk. At the celebration banquet, she's cornered in the restroom. Leaning against her, he laughs hoarsely: “You haven't even gone in. How am I supposed to get out?”
He presses closer at every step, and she keeps retreating. Until she discovers the box of old keepsakes he's treasured:
A secret photo he took of her in the library five years ago, the campus ID card she lost, eight round-trip tickets to Yuncheng... He'd loved her in secret for five whole years.
“I knew it was you that night.” He kisses her fingertips, dark emotions churning in his eyes. “From the moment you walked in to the moment you were in my arms... I knew.”
He's brooding and obsessive, yet he bows to her completely. She asks, “What if I run again?”
His arms tighten around her. His voice is both fierce and tender. “Then I'll be the one to pull you into my arms.”
