In high school, Shi Lianxi's mother worked as a cook for the Zhou family. Her cooking was excellent, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, as well as the old madam, all loved it. Thanks to this, Shi Lianxi was allowed to stay at their home.
She attended an elite school alongside the young master of the Zhou family.
At first, her mother repeatedly warned her to keep her distance from the young master and not get too close, lest people misunderstand.
Later, her mother told her not to fall for Zhou Fanzhe. People would gossip and say she had no upbringing, that she was seducing the young master of the household.
Zhou Fanzhe, the only son of the Zhou family, was carefree and unruly, born to be admired. He was so outstanding that he received love letter after love letter.
She knew her place. Zhou Fanzhe would never fall for an ordinary girl like her.
Until, in a shadowed corner of the villa, she found herself helplessly caught in a passionate kiss with Zhou Fanzhe.
“What are you hiding from?” Zhou Fanzhe stared at her.
“Let go of me...”
“I haven't had enough,” he said carelessly.
When their affair came to light, Shi Lianxi felt utterly ashamed in front of the generous Mr. and Mrs. Zhou and the kind old madam, and could barely face her disappointed mother.
Without thinking, Shi Lianxi lied. “I-it was Zhou Fanzhe. He forced me. I had no choice but to agree.”
She lowered her head, refusing to look at the boy beside her, but heard him let out a self-mocking laugh.
“Shi Lianxi, say that again.” His voice was cold enough to pierce to the bone.
Zhou Fanzhe was sent abroad. She stayed on at the Zhou home, went to university, and, after struggling to find work following graduation, was placed in the Zhou family company by the kind Mr. and Mrs. Zhou.
She wanted to work hard to make up for her mistake. She never expected the new CEO to be Zhou Fanzhe.
He treated her as if she were invisible.
He deliberately kept her working late into the night. Shi Lianxi couldn't get a taxi back to the Zhou home, and Zhou Fanzhe's car happened to stop in front of her.
Shi Lianxi looked toward the driver's seat. After a few seconds, she asked quietly, “Mr. Zhou, could you give me a ride?”
“Sure. Just marry me,” Zhou Fanzhe said with a chuckle, not sounding serious.
“Are you crazy?” Shi Lianxi thought. Knowing his personality, he should have wanted nothing more than to get revenge on her.
- Years apart, and when Shi Lianxi sees Zhou Fanzhe again, she is filled with guilt.
- When Zhou Fanzhe sees Shi Lianxi again, his feelings crash over him like waves against a reef.
“I knew she loved me the moment I kissed her.”
