Shen Tinglan first met Jiang Wangchi at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School. He tossed a mint candy onto the corner of her desk and sneered, raising an eyebrow. “Who’d want to be your child groom?”
Back then, her family had chosen her as the future daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and all she wanted was to fulfill the betrothal. He was a rebellious school bully whose heart belonged to the racetrack, and he hated the life others had arranged for him.
She deliberately called him “little child groom,” watching his ears turn red even as he stubbornly denied it. He smashed his racing trophy down in front of her and said awkwardly, “It’s not the only thing I’ve got.”
From their barbed exchanges in the library to the skips in their heartbeats at the racetrack, her push-and-pull drew him from resenting their engagement to wanting no one but her.
Later, on the podium of the World Racing Championship, he called her name and said, “My championship belongs to Shen Tinglan alone.” She stood at the bell-ringing ceremony for the Jiang Group’s stock market listing, the racing emblem reflected in the ring on her finger.
“Jiang Wangchi, your racetrack is wind and freedom. My realm is duty and glory.”
“Then for the rest of our lives, at the end of the racetrack, where your realm returns, it’ll be you and me.”
Listening to the Waves Return to Wangchi
“From the barbs of ‘child groom’ to the tenderness of ‘where we return for the rest of our lives,’ each shines in their own right, yet they end up with each other.”
Cool, teasing career-driven heiress versus rebellious young racing heir
Five stars, I like it
