Also known as The Trillionaire CEO's Quest to Win Her Back
In her senior year of high school, Ye Shuying, the icy top student, found herself pursued by a carefree slacker.
That slacker was Zhou Xu, a future trillionaire CEO. He ranked near the bottom of his class, never stopped talking, and lived by the motto, “As long as you’re happy.”
Ye Shuying made her feelings clear: she ignored him. Until one rainy evening during study hall, when he shoved his umbrella into her hands and got drenched himself. Until she was walking home alone at night, and he followed behind her, shining a flashlight down the entire length of Xingfuli Old Street.
She began to get used to having him around. She got used to him taking a detour every day to buy spicy strips at her grandmother’s convenience store, to the school radio station “randomly” playing her favorite song, “Qili Xiang,” every week, and to the shadow following a short distance behind her after evening study hall.
But Zhou Xu had too many secrets: the watch worth millions, the group CEO who showed up for parent-teacher meetings, the “incident” mentioned in that phone call… and the truth about the black Bentley in the car crash six years ago.
Ye Shuying hated rich people most of all. And Zhou Xu just happened to be the sole heir to the Zhou Group.
In 2008, misunderstandings and tentative advances drew them closer. In 2023, they met again at a class reunion, with fifteen years between them. She was a partner at a renowned Beijing law firm; he was a legendary business figure worth tens of billions. Both were single, yet neither spoke first.
Until he asked, “Did you read what was written on that candy wrapper?”
A fifteen-year wait, a secret love shared by two people, and a story about truth, redemption, and first love. Youth may fade, but some people are worth waiting a lifetime for.
