From college to the city / rekindled love / heroine trains her puppy
They all said that Xu Chuyan, the aloof goddess of the law school, was impossible to win over.
Zhao Tingchen made a bet with his friends and won her over without breaking a sweat.
But planting a flower is easy. Keeping it alive is hard.
Before long, the story became a running joke among their circle. How could a rich young master like Zhao Tingchen have been so completely tamed by his girlfriend that he did whatever she said?
Not long after, the rumor changed. Xu Chuyan had dumped Zhao Tingchen. Their breakup had been ugly, and things had ended abruptly.

They met again at a law firm.
When Zhao Tingchen was overwhelmed by financial problems at his company, Xu Chuyan showed up with her team and promised to help him win the lawsuit.
After they signed the contract, Xu Chuyan smiled politely. "Mr. Zhao, once I've helped you with this, we'll be even."
"Even?"
Zhao Tingchen scoffed and stepped closer. "Xu Chuyan, are you saying you can just get away with playing with my feelings?"
She tilted her head up, her cool eyes lifted to meet his. "I played with them. So what?"
Her tone was just as brazen as it had been back then, when she was in front of him.
Zhao Tingchen gritted his teeth in anger.
He wanted to ask how she dared show up in front of him and act as if nothing had happened.
He wanted to remember her blushing as she kissed him.
Her eyes red as they argued.
He wanted to remember how, after trampling on his sincerity, she had kicked him aside without a word.
He wanted to ask her one thing.
Had she ever loved him back then?
- You are where my sweet words come from.
