The first time Ji Youning met Lu Lingyue was after her divorce.
At that time, she had just ended a failed marriage and was invited by a friend to go to the Chung An Association to celebrate her escape from the quagmire.
She saw Lu Lingyue standing dignifiedly in the crowd. She never thought that she would be entangled with such a man.
---------
He is a child of a high-ranking family. He looks like a stable gentleman on the outside, but he is paranoid and unruly in his heart.
The first time he saw Ji Youning, he was attracted by those gentle yet stubborn eyes. From then on, he tried his best to bring her into his world.
He gave her the ultimate preference and gave her strong control.
Ji Youning was overwhelmed by this suffocating love.
She escaped, she disappeared so completely that no matter how hard he dug, he couldn't find her.
----------
Two years later, Ji Youning came back.
He chased her from the capital city thousands of miles away to the downstairs of Ji Youning's house. The always strong and domineering man knelt on his knees and begged her with pain in his eyes: "Ningning, I don't want anything. I just ask you not to leave me."
