   The marriage between the heiress of Xiaonan Airlines' Li family and the heir of Yunting Airlines' Zhan family, a union of equals, ended in regret. He had his "white moonlight," and she had her childhood sweetheart with whom she had deep feelings. 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. Zhan Nanpei, now the chairman of Yunting, would wait for his wife at the airport every time she got off work. The plane encountered severe weather and violent turbulence. Passengers shouted "Help!"
