Male unrequited love | Secret identity revealed | Childhood sweethearts
Proud, sharp-tongued heiress × Pure-hearted, sensitive bodyguard
As her bodyguard, Lu Mengge had been by Zhou Jiangliu's side since childhood. They went to school together and came home together.
Until one day, Zhou Jiangliu waited and waited at the school gate, looking all around but unable to find him. In the end, she found him in the bushes behind the school's athletic field.
Can you imagine a burly man cuddling a kitten and coaxing it to sleep?
Zhou Jiangliu nodded. I can.
It was the first time she'd seen Lu Mengge's gentle side. This bodyguard, cold as iron, seemed to have kept a trace of humanity, baring his hedgehog belly to her.
From then on, their relationship took a turn toward the impossible.
After she argued with her father and ran away from home, she hid in a park.
He stood behind her. She clearly heard him sigh in resignation.
"I'm not going back. Don't give me any nonsense."
She thought he would obey his master's rigid orders like a dog.
On that firefly-speckled night, her sensible bodyguard was still obedient.
He just happened to be obeying her.
"All right. We're not going back."
He'd promised to accompany her abroad to study, but when they got to the airport, he was nowhere to be seen.
At the time, her heart turned to ashes. All her hopes for him were shattered, and she went to Country C alone.
Meanwhile, he watched everything silently from a corner.
She had a better future ahead of her. She could live a better life without him, a worthless orphan who couldn't give her anything.
But was that really true?
"Lu Mengge, love you can't see isn't love."
