One-on-one romance; a slow-burn relationship; childhood sweethearts; both untouched; secret crush; reunion after years apart; the male lead makes the first move
Cold-faced, innocent CEO × cool-headed, clear-eyed sweetheart
When Lu Yuan was little, she was bored on the way home every day, so she would block the road and rob a haughty little boy.
A week later, the boy became her stepbrother.
Later, her father, Feng, cheated, her parents divorced, and Feng Beixiao no longer had anything to do with her.
They reunited in college and worked on a project together, but he suddenly disappeared and remained out of contact for six years.
Six years later, he showed up out of nowhere at her company to discuss a business deal.
Thinking he was repaying a debt of gratitude, she accepted all his advances without a second thought.
Lu Yuan had no idea that Feng Beixiao had secretly kissed her, covered for her, stayed up late with her, and remembered all her preferences simply because he loved her.
On the day the project ended, he thought she was married. Drunk and bleary-eyed, he clung to her bed and asked her with red-rimmed eyes, “Can I be… hic… the other man?”
“Probably best not.”
“What if I… hic… insist?”
If he was dead set on being the other man, she couldn’t stop him.
While away on a business trip, she kept dreaming about being passionately entangled with him.
To clear her head, Lu Yuan agreed to talk business with Song Jingzhou, watch movies, and take part in couples’ activities.
The man who had been gone for six years began acting possessive, constantly overstepping boundaries.
“I can give you professional advice, and I can invest in you.”
“Don’t be alone with men at night. It’s not safe.”
“…He’s not good enough for you.”
He had pretended for twenty years, all the while calling her his wife in his heart. The day she was about to leave with someone else, he panicked.
