[Reunion After a Long Separation] [Mutual Secret Crush] [Both Pure] [Sour Before Sweet] [A Story of Redemption]
Yu Jing's first real connection with Qin Lang came in her first year of high school, when she heard from their classmates that he liked her.
He was a handsome, confident, outgoing boy, while she was a quiet nobody who kept to herself.
Sensitive, insecure, and introverted, she couldn't help stealing glances at him, convinced no one would notice her little secret.
But when she saw his name carved into her best friend's desk, and everyone started egging her on to respond to his feelings, she chose to run away.
She thought it was just a secret crush that would never come to anything.
But ten years later, when he caught her looking at him, his enchanting, peach-blossom eyes gazed down at her with haughty disdain as he coldly mocked her embarrassment.
"Yu Jing, still thinking of running away?"
A secret crush is one person's private chaos. She chose to deceive herself, but he wouldn't let her bury her head in the sand.
When they met again, the object of her secret crush had transformed into her client. Even worse, the idea she presented in front of everyone was based on her own experience of having a one-sided crush on him back then.
"This proposal is pretty interesting, especially... Miss Yu's personal experience."
Yu Jing was mortified beyond words. Her avoidant tendencies kicked in, but she couldn't resist his repeated advances.
When she finally tried to break up with him, he chased her to her door and refused to leave without an explanation. The usually gentle man gave her a cold, wicked smile.
"If you're going to marry someone, why not marry me?"
"I'm richer than he is, and better-looking. Any children we have will be better-looking, too."
"And I know better than he does how to make you happy."
Only then did Yu Jing realize she'd misjudged him. This man was not only secretly flirtatious, but childish, too.
