Before their relationship was made public, no one ever connected Lin Yuzhen and Wen Zhao.
An ordinary girl who was practically unknown at school and the eldest son of an ultra-wealthy family? As it turned out, they had been together for a long time.
Lin Yuzhen has an occasional speech disorder that makes talking difficult. She was born a beat slower to react than other people, and grew used to relying on Wen Zhao for everything.
Wen Zhao enjoyed her dependence. Pleased, he stroked her cheek and drew her into his arms. "Zhenzhen doesn't need to know how to talk. If you need anything, just ask your boyfriend."
He announced their relationship to the world. From then on, she went from being "that girl who can't speak clearly" to "Young Master Wen's little girlfriend" in other people's eyes.
Wen Zhao treated her very, very well.
He gave her jewelry and a mansion, held her in his arms and soothed her with tender kisses. In the back seat of the luxury car he'd given her, he knelt before her as if proposing, savoring the sight and taste of her. He used the hem of her skirt to wipe the glistening wetness from the bridge of his nose.
Wen Zhao treated her very, very badly.
He wouldn't let Lin Yuzhen know that only cats and dogs could go their whole lives without speaking.
After he once again tricked her into turning her speech therapy lesson into an intimate encounter that left her mind blank, Lin Yuzhen disappeared from his world.
*
Years later, in a lecture hall at the country's top university.
The man in a suit at the back had been coming to her lectures for a week straight.
Elegant and refined, with features as exquisitely handsome as a painting, he'd gone from Young Master Wen to President Wen, but was just as eye-catching as ever.
But in Lin Yuzhen's classroom, she was the focus.
He was merely "that man who keeps coming to Professor Lin's lectures," "one of Professor Lin's admirers," and "the handsome, poor guy who can't even get Professor Lin to have a meal with him."
After class, Lin Yuzhen passed the Maybach parked by the roadside without so much as looking at it.
The car door opened. She was pulled into the back seat and fell into a strong embrace.
"Zhenzhen, my patience is limited."
The man's low voice sounded above her. He had become much steadier over the years, yet the moment he held her again, he was reminded of the callous, insolent boy he'd once been.
"If you won't go on a date with me today, then you'll stay here with me," he said. The arm around her waist tightened with an unmistakably firm grip. He breathed in her scent, the bridge of his nose brushing her earlobe, and enunciated each word. "And relive the old days."
