[Devoted Finance-world Heir vs. Gentle, Clever Cake Shop Owner]
At the age of twenty-two, Xia Wanruo honored her engagement and married He Mingzhou, the eldest son of the prominent He family in Jing City.
She thought she might find love in him, never imagining that it was all wishful thinking.
He Mingzhou had never forgotten the woman who remained his unattainable ideal. Even as time clouded the past, that obsession continued to take root deep in his soul, with no one able to replace her.
Their marriage, a union in name only, lasted three years.
-
At a party one day, Xia Wanruo lost a game and was forced to ask an extraordinarily handsome stranger, "Will you marry me?"
The man was nonchalant, his tone roguish. "Has your husband died, Sister-in-law?"
Only afterward did she learn that he was He Mingzhou's half-brother, He Jichen, a Wall Street finance tycoon who had just returned to China.
A man at the very top of the pyramid, He Jichen was arrogant, headstrong, and utterly imperious.
Xia Wanruo thought they had nothing to do with each other, until one day she unexpectedly received a message on WeChat.
[That nightdress you wore just now was very sexy. How about wearing it to my room tonight?]
She was so startled that she threw her phone away.
-
Later, outside the women's restroom in a restaurant,
He Jichen, dressed in a black shirt and trousers, pinned Xia Wanruo against the wall. His long, elegant fingers lifted her chin. "He Mingzhou made you cry again. Let's blow him up."
[To her, it was an unexpected encounter. To me, it became my entire summer.]
