   He was the one who rejected her confession of unrequited love. After a long separation, they reunited, only to find themselves in a heart-wrenching chase, a classic case of unrequited love in school. Should one confess if they like someone? She thought about it for a long time and decided to. A love triangle involving one girl and two boys began to break down in their senior year of high school. She had a long-standing crush on him; a young girl's unrequited love is hard to fathom, and she couldn't tell if he loved her or not. She mustered her courage to confess, but he treated it like a truth or dare game. In their senior year, they always thought about applying to the same university, wanting to protect him and prevent him from being taken away by someone else. She asked his best friend if he had someone he liked, but his friend gave a bitter smile and said, "You'll know when you get to university." Their love was about to be exposed. She felt his best friend's tenderness and care for her, and even nestled in his arms, she felt very comfortable. But he seemed to be jealous of her unrequited love.

In this marriage between equally powerful families, neither was willing to back down first. * When Zhan Nanpei and Li Qianqian had just divorced, someone asked him, "You just divorced like that? No regrets?" He was dressed in black, hands in his pockets, "It was a business marriage, so there's no question of regrets." Having lived for over twenty years, proud as he was, he was a backup option. Ten thousand meters in the air, on a private jet. The usually restrained and stoic man kissed her again and again, his eyes red, his voice hoarse, "Wife, marry me again, okay?" * After giving birth to her second child, Li Qianqian flew twice a year to maintain her license.
