Second-chance romance | The heroine's pursuit of her ex | Male lead is of mixed heritage from four countries | He's five years older than her | One-on-one, male lead has no sexual history, happy ending
Steadfast, honest consulting engineer VS scheming, black-hearted Beijing power player
He was like a weary bird, resting on her branch.
Sheng Wanzhi took a part-time tutoring job and learned that her student was of mixed heritage from four countries, handsome, and had returned from traveling around the world after taking a break from his senior year of high school.
She couldn't help thinking that rich kids really could do whatever they wanted.
Her senior, Xu Zhimo, added, "This guy has a terrible temper. Be prepared, and don't let him make you cry."
On her first day, Sheng Wanzhi got straight to the point. "Since I'm being paid to tutor you, I'll do my job. I'll teach, and whether you listen is up to you."
Pei Xu sat in a relaxed pose, practically wearing his defiance on his face. "If you don't teach well, I definitely won't listen."
Sure enough, he was a tough one.
Sheng Wanzhi wasn't about to pass up such a generous tutoring fee. "...I teach really well. You'll see once you listen."
Pei Xu took off his hearing aid.
Sheng Wanzhi: "..."
"Teacher, you've got the wrong student. This is my older brother." A clear voice sounded from behind them.
Sheng Wanzhi's face instantly turned red. "I'm sorry, big brother..."
His childhood friend Zheng Ze draped an arm over Pei Xu's shoulder. "You've been hanging around that tutor all the time lately. Don't tell me you like her?"
"Why would I like her?"
From the steps above, Sheng Wanzhi looked down at Pei Xu's retreating figure, pain rising in her chest. They'd shared such intimate moments, and he was denying it just like that?
She hurried to find him and ask, but couldn't reach him at all... Only then did she learn from Zheng Ze that Pei Xu had gone abroad.
Five years later.
Sheng Wanzhi's career and love life were both going well. She had become a consulting engineer and was in a stable relationship with her boyfriend.
She independently took on a tourism and cultural renovation project for a scenic area.
But at the project kickoff meeting, she unexpectedly ran into Pei Xu again.
He was the client.
She put aside her resentment. There was no point in falling out with a source of income. "Mr. Pei, I hope we work well together."
Pei Xu looked momentarily dazed. "You don't hate me?"
Sheng Wanzhi smiled. "We just met. Why would I hate you?"
"You're still as strictly professional as you used to be." Pei Xu tightened his grip on her hand and whispered in her ear, "In bed, too."
