A Fortuitous Encounter in Hong Kong

[Steady, dependable daddy type vs. elegant, sophisticated seductress]

Hong Kong elite circle + older man + powerful man bows his head + love at first sight + devoted to each other

When Wen Jiayi was studying for her master’s degree in Hong Kong, she met Gu Jingsheng, the youngest person ever to take control of Huanbo Group.

Then one day, she accidentally overheard a conversation.

Wen Jiayi didn’t cry or make a scene. She disappeared into the night in Hong Kong, taking her flowers with her. The rose she had tended with her own hands was carried back to the capital, pot and all.

Two years later, in the capital.

The joint project between Jiarong and Huanbo got underway, and Wen Jiayi stood outside the conference room as its project manager.

“Mr. Gu, long time no see.”

Her tone was so calm it betrayed no emotion. She gave no ground on the contract terms, and even when they ran into each other by chance, she was unfailingly polite and distant.

So the powerful man in Hong Kong, who had never once bowed his head, began making frequent “business trips” to the capital, coming up with one excuse after another. He thought he was the hunter, not knowing he had long since become the prey.

Bonus scene

Gu Jingsheng had just finished discussing business at home with a few friends from Hong Kong and was about to leave when the bedroom door suddenly opened.

Wen Jiayi walked out in a red silk slip, rubbing her eyes sleepily. Her voice was soft and coquettish. “Gege, hold me.”

The room fell silent.

Almost on instinct, Gu Jingsheng stepped forward and wrapped her tightly in his arms.

That night, the Hong Kong social scene exploded with gossip.

Everyone was saying that Gu Jingsheng had won back the rose he lost two years ago.

But only Gu Jingsheng knew that he hadn’t won her back at all.

It was clearly this thorny rose who had reeled him in, step by step.

And the moment she rubbed her eyes and fell into his arms, he knew he was done for.

Completely done for.
