Gu Roufei has made up her mind to play the villainess today.
At her family's engagement banquet, an affair worthy of the Oscars, her fiancé, Shen Que, runs off for his first love, Lin Weiwei.
The room falls silent. The guests' gazes pin her in place like searchlights. Holding a glass of champagne, Gu Roufei lifts her chin high, while thinking, Would smashing the glass seem too cliché? What about throwing red wine? No, this dress is a limited edition.
In ten-centimeter heels, she storms home, intent on one thing: heading straight for the quiet little room in the back garden.
“Jiang Yan!” She shoves the door open with a bang.
The slender young man is reading by the window. At the sound, he turns around, the afternoon sunlight gilding his pale profile. He slowly puts on his hearing aids and gazes at her with dark, quiet eyes, waiting for her to continue.
See? He's always like this. Always so calm, always so... easy to bully.
