[Innocent sweetheart and emotionally hollow CEO + possessive pursuit + both virgins + groveling to win her back + the powerful one bows his head]
To pay for her friend's medical treatment, Xu Zhixia became Lu Yunzhou's secret mistress.
By day, he was always out drinking and socializing, talking and laughing with the easy charm of a refined young gentleman.
But in the dead of night, his hand gripping her waist was merciless.
They both knew exactly what this arrangement was.
Yet without realizing it, their hearts began to draw closer.
With her friend's illness and the pressure of reality weighing on her, Xu Zhixia decided to cut off her feelings, which had grown like wild weeds, and end their arrangement with a contract.
She had barely left when he caught her and dragged her back.
He was the one who said they were just playing around, and he was also the one who slandered her. Yet he pinned her against the wall, his usual playful smile gone as he asked coldly,
“Now that you're done playing, you think you can just leave? Since when was that such a good deal?”
He built a cage around her and kept her trapped inside.
He craved her body, her smile, everything about her. He wanted to possess her completely.
Now that he had fallen for her, he wasn't about to let her walk away unscathed.
But later, when he traveled all the way from thousands of miles away to find her in this remote border town, the usually swaggering Mr. Lu turned out to be a paper tiger, only daring to put on a tough front with the utmost caution.
“I don't care. You can't get away from me.”
A little coercion and angst, followed by a particularly satisfying groveling-to-win-her-back arc!
