A marriage based on family origins and business complementarity reunites two souls. He worked step by step, using ten years of secret love to turn into a tender trap called "respecting each other as guests"; She realized belatedly, and slowly sank under the respect and protection day after day. This is an evenly matched game between adults, and it is also a two-way redemption that spans time. He thought he was a hunter, but little did he know that when he chose to let her fly, she was already a fish in the net. Biography * Shen Hezhao (male protagonist): A twenty-six-year-old business upstart who looks as gentle as jade, but is actually ruthless in his methods. Born into a family of scholars and merchants, due to an accident at home when he was young, he buried his love for Xu Tong deeply in his heart. Ten years later, he finally felt that he was worthy of her. His love is the result of ten years of planning. * Xu Tong (female protagonist): A talented independent fashion designer who founded the brand "Qitong". He comes from a wealthy family but is indifferent to fame and wealth. He has a calm and reserved personality, with the structural beauty of science and the romance of liberal arts. She thought that contract marriage was a transaction of profit. The midsummer evening breeze was hot and dry. Xu Tong stood on the terrace of the "Yunding" revolving restaurant and looked at the body features sent by his mother on his mobile phone. --Black hair, slender body, 18cm tall, dressed in black." Xu Tong sighed and stuffed his phone back into his bag. This was a rare eagerness shown by her mother, a university professor. In order for her to see this, her mother even moved out her most respected grandfather. "Grandpa said that the other party is the grandson of the Shen family. Although his family has fallen behind, he is now a promising child, so you must give him a chance. " Xu Tong turned around and glanced across the terrace. Finally, it landed on that back. The man was wearing a black jacket, and his posture was as tall as a pine tree, with a hint of rebelliousness and aloofness. He approached and sat opposite. Xu Tong raised his eyes and saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face. Xu Tong was stunned. He has lost some of his youthfulness, replaced by some maturity and nobility. "Shen Hezhao? "There was a trace of uncertainty in Xu Tong's voice. His eyes fell on Xu Tong, the skirt she designed herself. There were several sycamore leaf patterns on the skirt, just like the graffiti she had drawn in the textbook. "Xu Tong. He called her name, his voice low and magnetic, "Long time no see." " Xu Tong sat opposite him and stirred up a storm. She never expected that the "grandson of the Shen family" in her mother's words was actually her classmate in high school. What was even more unexpected was that the young man who was taciturn and always kept to himself would now become a powerful figure in the business world. "I didn't expect you to return to China," Xu Tong held up the water glass and concealed his inner turmoil, "I heard that your company is doing very well. " "Fortunately," Shen Hezhao pushed the menu in front of her, his tone was calm, but there was no doubt that he was domineering, "I just want to make up for grandpa's regrets back then. " Xu Tong looked up at him. Under the light, his profile was cold and hard, exuding a fierceness. She suddenly remembered that in high school, on the day her grandfather's company went bankrupt, he stood on the rooftop of the teaching building all night. It turned out that he really did it. "Back then..." Xu Tong wanted to say something comforting, but was interrupted by Shen Hezhao. "Xu Tong," Shen Hezhao turned his head and looked at her with burning eyes, with emotions she couldn't understand hidden in his eyes, "do you know? My grandfather and your grandfather have been brothers for decades. " Xu Tong nodded: "I know. Grandpa often mentioned Grandpa Shen, saying that he was a man of character. " He said, "Yes, grandpa was unruly and unruly when he was young, a proud man of heaven." The conversation changed The two chatted a lot, reminiscing about their youthful past in high school and how they were doing after graduation. Xu Tong: "Classmate Shen, I think we have almost talked today. Why don't we make an appointment another day?" " Shen Hezhao: "Well, what do you think of me, Miss Xu?" Xu Tong was stunned, "What do you mean?" Shen Hezhao "After this blind date, I think Teacher Lin will continue to introduce blind dates to you after knowing that there is no result." Xu Tong "......" Shen Hezhao: "I know you are facing such troubles and you don't want to be on blind dates all the time. I can solve your problem" Xu Tong "What do you mean?" Shen Hezhao "You marry me" Xu Tong took a sip of water and almost spit it out. Looking at him in shock, "Do you know what you are talking about? You are going to marry someone you just met for an hour." Shen Hezhao "We are high school classmates, and the elders in our families are old friends. You know the basics, so you don't have to be so anxious to reply to me. Think about it slowly" Xu Tong returned home and thought for a long time. He was indeed a suitable husband. Two weeks later, both parents were extremely satisfied with the marriage. The two of them received their certificates like this. After getting married, Xu Tong suddenly found the love letter he wrote to her one day, and then she realized that this unruly young man had loved her for nine years. The content of the love letter "Classmate Xu, I am Shen Hezhao. What I want to express in writing this letter is that after three years of high school, I finally had the courage to express my feelings to you. When I was a freshman in high school, I saw you sitting in the library quietly writing exercises. Later I was assigned to a class. When I get along with you, I find that you are a warm and confident girl. You are very kind and enthusiastic to your classmates. What I want to say is that I like you and I know that high school studies are the most important thing. But if you don't hate me, can you give me a chance to pursue you in college. Can you put me first among those who pursue you?" After Xu Tong saw it, it turned out that he had been hiding it for so long. But this expired love letter has become invalid in Shen Hezhao's opinion. Intention: You are as noble and unattainable as the sycamore tree. I am willing to be one of your sycamore leaves and depend on you.
