Melting Snow [Rekindled Romance]

Reunion after years apart | Second chance at love | Friends with benefits to official couple

Cold-hearted Hong Kong tycoon × pure, beautiful actress

Ye Xiyin first met Su Jichuan at an investment gala. The man was surrounded by admirers, aloof and distant toward everyone.

They met a second time when she knocked on his door, nervously clutching the card in her hand as she said, “Teacher Zeng told me to come for an audition.”

The man was wearing a bathrobe, his hair still dripping with water. He glanced at her innocent expression with his cool eyes and kindly reminded her, “You've got the wrong room.”

Later, she was cornered in the hallway by the director who had chased after her. In a panic, she knocked on his door. Tears glistened at the corners of her pretty eyes. As the man pursued her from behind, she grabbed Su Jichuan's clothes and said, “Help... me.”

Su Jichuan kept helping her for seven years. They were partners who were perfectly in sync in certain ways. He gave her the best of everything, except a title.

The night she suggested they break up, Su Jichuan stood on the terrace, smoke drifting across his cool features. His expression was indistinct in the darkness as he asked quietly, “Have you made up your mind?”

Ye Xiyin stood behind him, her face still flushed from what had just happened. “Yes, Mr. Su. I want our relationship to end here.”

Su Jichuan didn't turn around. As the cigarette burned down to his fingertips, he let it go and said hoarsely, “Don't regret it.”

Later, she deleted all his contact information, left the entertainment industry, and returned to the mainland. Three years later, she followed her mother's advice and obediently went on a blind date.

Everyone said a heaven-blessed man like Su Jichuan would never lower himself for anyone.

Three years later, on a snowy night, it snowed in Nancheng for the first time.

Under the dim yellow lights, her blind date held an umbrella and walked her into the building's entrance. The motion-sensor light came on. Ye Xiyin had just stepped onto the stairs when another pair of large hands suddenly yanked her aside. Her back was slammed against the wall. The man's black trench coat was soaked with snow and water, which spread across her clothes. His voice was as sharp as crushed ice: “Ye Xiyin, I never agreed to break up.”

Snow fell all through the rest of that night.

Ye Xiyin felt as though she were standing in the snow, soaked from head to toe.

He came back to the place where it had all begun and said, “Baby, your body tells me you miss me.”

I miss you too.

I miss you like crazy.

Ye Xiyin never expected that, in the tenth year of loving Su Jichuan, she would finally get his answer.

“I've never imagined marrying anyone in my life, but if it's you, I'll make an exception.”

“Ye Xiyin, I'm the one who regrets it.”

[You are the one exception in my dark world.]
