[The Pursuit of a Wife After Losing Her + Angsty Romance + Love Rekindled]
“Be my mistress, and I’ll save your sister.”
Five years later, they met again. He pinned her hard against the wall, his eyes filled with nothing but cold hatred for the woman he had once loved.
Five years ago, An Lan, the eldest daughter of the An family, had toyed with his feelings, despised him for being poor, and ruthlessly dumped him.
Five years later, he had become a feared financial titan in Jing City, while she was driven to desperation as she struggled to raise the exorbitant cost of her sister’s medical treatment.
He had been waiting a long time to exact this revenge.
She thought it was merely a transaction, trading her dignity for money. He thought it was the most satisfying punishment in the world.
But when he saw her humiliated at a drinking party, driven to the point of vomiting blood, then drunk and huddled in a corner because she was afraid to go home and frighten her sister, Qi Siyan’s defenses crumbled completely.
He made soup for her himself and held her in his arms, only to be met with even greater distance. “Mr. Qi, you’re already engaged. Please behave yourself.”
Only after the bloody truth came to light did he learn that she had never married. To keep him safe, she had shouldered the despair of her family’s ruin all alone.
Watching her risk her life to save her sister, Qi Siyan’s eyes turned bloodshot. He dropped to his knees before her like a madman. “Lanlan, I was wrong. Please, look at me again!”
This time, he would crush every villain and build a safe haven for her with his own hands, spending the rest of his life healing her wounds.
