[Elite Family + Slow-Build Romance + Mutual Devotion + Two-Way Pursuit]
[Cool, gentle heiress of an illustrious family × Restrained, tender head of the He Family]
What Nan Zhi didn't know was that He Jingci, who had once stayed at her home as a boy, had chosen her the moment he laid eyes on her.
When they met again after years apart, he had shed the awkwardness and slightness of youth. His impeccably tailored black suit accentuated his tall, distinguished figure, and his features were cool and distant. Only the gaze he turned on her was deep and surging as he drew closer, step by step.
The love he had kept hidden for years was finally laid bare, tender yet restrained.
After winning her heart, He Jingci was one day pinned against the door by his girlfriend.
Nan Zhi hooked a finger under his chin and tilted it down, looking up at him. “He Jingci, tell me honestly. When you stayed at my house back then, did you already like me?”
He Jingci caught her wrist and pinned her hand against the door behind her. A low laugh escaped him. “Yes. I knew from the first moment I saw you.”
Nan Zhi's eyes widened slightly. “Then why did you wait all these years to tell me?”
He Jingci leaned close, his breath warm, his voice solemn. “I was afraid of disturbing you, afraid you would turn me down. I've been waiting for you all along, from the days of our youth until now.”
