It took him nineteen years to grow from the little boy who followed her around into a man she could rely on.
When Wen Nian first met Lu Xingye, he was a tiny three-year-old, trailing behind her and calling, “Sister Niannian.”
She was twelve and he was three. Their nine-year age gap seemed like a chasm they could never cross.
Nineteen years later, Wen Nian is thirty-one, a senior executive with no romantic history, and her family’s relentless matchmaking is giving her a headache.
A new intern joins the company: a top-university graduate, stunning in both looks and physique, and absurdly capable.
Then one day, the young intern corners her outside her office and says in a low, husky voice:
“Sister Niannian, I’m all grown up now. Can I pursue you?”
It turns out some people are meant to be together from the very beginning.
He spent nineteen years gradually closing the nine-year gap until it finally disappeared.
