[Reunion after a long separation | Reconciliation after a breakup | Both virgins | Angsty at first, then sweet and doting]

A resilient, clear-eyed heiress fallen on hard times x a deeply devoted, restrained man of immense power

*

Everyone in their circle knew that Lu Shiyu, the eldest son and head of the Lu family, had once been passionately in love with Xu Nian, the disfavored eldest daughter of the Xu family. Their relationship had been a grand affair, but in the end, it ended in silence.

No one knew that the whole thing had been an elaborate deception planned by Xu Nian from beginning to end.

She had carefully plotted her way toward him, calculating every step and planning everything to perfection. The only thing she miscalculated was her own feelings.

In the end, she left without a word.

Years later, he was a corporate president making waves in the business world, while she had become an up-and-coming architectural designer under an assumed name.

At a dinner, she raised her glass and smiled coolly. “Mr. Lu, a pleasure to meet you. I’m Shi An. This is our first meeting.”

He returned her toast, his expression indifferent, as if they were strangers. “A pleasure.”

Xu Nian thought he must have moved on after all these years.

But in a secluded corner, he pinned her firmly in his arms.

She feigned composure and greeted him with a smile. “Mr. Lu, I hope you’ve been well.”

“I hope I’ve been well?” His fingertips brushed her face, his gaze icy.

“After the way you toyed with me back then... you still dare to say ‘I hope you’ve been well’?”

“How could I ever let you get away with that?”

But when the truth came to light, the man who had always been composed and dignified completely lost control.

He cast aside all his pride and dignity, drew her trembling into his arms, and begged hoarsely:

“Use me. Keep using me. Don’t go... Please, don’t leave me again.”
