[Jewelry Company CEO x Jewelry Designer]
[Mutual Secret Crush | Reunion After Years Apart | One-on-One, Both Inexperienced | Sweet Romance, No Angst]
1. Shi Li and Yun Jiu first met six years ago, in the height of summer.
At her mother's arrangement, Yun Jiu came to stay at Shi Li's home for a while.
The boy wore an impatient look, and couldn't stand pampered little princesses like her, fresh from the city.
At first, he was always frowning, his expression cold. "Get lost. I can't stand spoiled brats."
Later on...
All it took was one friend saying, "Shi, if you don't go after her soon, she'll find someone else, and you'll be left chasing after her. No, you'll end up as the other man."
That scared him so much that he got up in the middle of the night and wrote her a love letter by hand.
And he kept writing right up until the day he planned to confess.
But when he was ready to confess, the little princess told him she was leaving him.
The boy said nothing. He could only silently tuck away his feelings and say one word: "Fine."
He never expected that they'd be apart for six years.
2. When Yun Jiu meets Shi Li again, he's now a high-and-mighty jewelry CEO, while she's just an ordinary designer working for him.
They shouldn't have had any reason to cross paths again, and the young woman has tucked away all her feelings.
But one morning, Yun Jiu stares blankly at the person standing before her and asks, "What are you doing here?"
The man glances around, utterly unfazed, and says, "Walking my dog."
"..."
Later, the tipsy young woman grows bolder and complains to him, "I don't want to like you anymore!"
The man asks in a hoarse voice, "But I've liked you for a long time. Are you sure you want to stop liking me now?"
