Florist and perfumer × composed, powerful CEO
Chen Jiaying was pressured by her mother into a blind date. Her match was her best friend's son, Si Nian, a partner at Si Capital.
She planned to go through the motions and get it over with.
To her surprise, the man was gentle and refined, remembered all her preferences, and even brought her favorite chamomile flowers.
"I have a habit. Before doing anything, I think carefully about whether I want to do it. Once I've decided, I don't quit halfway."
He said it in a calm, matter-of-fact tone, as if he were discussing a project's return on investment.
Chen Jiaying's heart raced, but she fought to keep herself in check. She still hadn't fully healed from her last relationship and didn't dare let herself fall for someone again so easily.
What she didn't know was
This blind date had never been a coincidence.
He had waited for her for a full ten years.
From the third-floor window in high school, to the stone bench beneath the osmanthus tree, from the photos he'd secretly taken to the yellowing cardboard box in the storage room.
"Chen Jiaying, do you remember reading beneath the osmanthus tree one spring in your second year of high school?"
"Someone watched you from the third floor for an entire year."
"That someone was me."
