The One in My Heart

[Private Equity Fund Manager x Struggling Young Teacher] Qi Qiao's ill-fated connection with Gu Yuheng began with a sudden act of kindness and the cliched case of falling for someone at first sight. On the campus walkway one afternoon, one was elegant, the other disheveled. Gu Yuheng pulled his supercar up beside her, one hand on the steering wheel, and patiently pointed out that her bag was unzipped. Embarrassed, she could only remember that her kind benefactor was a strikingly handsome, rich young man. She even forgot to ask his name. Only later did she learn he was her classmate, the dean's golden boy, and a campus celebrity. - Knowing she was out of his league, Qi Qiao constantly reminded herself to stay in control and keep her distance whenever they were together. But in the end, reason lost to hormones. Her one reckless leap of faith did not end well. Not only did she fail to win him over, she was nearly left with PTSD from excellent men. Whenever she met a guy with impressive credentials, she'd instinctively assume she wasn't good enough for him and that things would go nowhere. Before long, she couldn't even be bothered to get to know them. - When they met again years later, Gu Yuheng was even more unattainable than before, and Qi Qiao was even less willing to entertain the thought of him. Until one day, he cast aside the manners and good breeding he'd had since childhood, pinning her hard against a wall in the underground parking garage without a shred of gentlemanly conduct. Through gritted teeth, he demanded, "Can't you take a little responsibility for once?!" Qi Qiao was dumbfounded. She had barely looked up when he added, sounding aggrieved, "I could let it go before, but are you still not going to take responsibility for me now?" Theme: Do your best to be yourself!
