[Down-on-her-luck heiress and powerful man from Beijing’s elite circle | Childhood friends | Long-planned pursuit | Secret love becomes reality | The powerful man bows his head]
After the Sheng family went bankrupt and her father passed away, the childhood engagement between Sheng Yuan and Xie Xinxu, once the envy of everyone, became an unspoken thing of the past in their social circle.
On the night of her best friend’s wedding, Sheng Yuan heard that the Xie and Ji families were about to unite in marriage. Slightly drunk, she stopped the cold, chaste man.
“Xie Xinxu, let’s sleep together once, okay?”
She thought it was just a night of mutual indulgence.
Who knew that the man, so refined and restrained in public, would be so insatiable in bed?
After daybreak, Sheng Yuan covered the marks all over her body, thinking they would each go their separate ways and never meet again.
The day after she returned to the country, however, the company she worked for was suddenly acquired by Xie Group.
The former fiancé who was supposed to marry someone else, and had supposedly nothing to do with her anymore, had become her new boss, someone far above her reach.
Sheng Yuan tried to distance herself from him, but he kept insinuating himself into her life.
At last, she couldn’t take it anymore. “Xie Xinxu, we agreed to sleep together only once!”
He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her back into his embrace.
“Who told you our engagement was off?”
Sheng Yuan had always thought the Xie family had delayed announcing the end of their engagement only out of regard for the families’ old ties.
She didn’t know that he had already retrieved, piece by piece, everything she had lost.
And she didn’t know that from their youth to the present, Xie Xinxu had only ever wanted her.
