Until She Wakes

A tragic accident left Qiao Ning in a coma for ten years. When she woke up, she was unchanged, but the world had changed. Her abusive stepfather was in prison, the school bully who had picked on her was now a middle-aged woman who'd gone astray, and her scummy ex-boyfriend was laying bricks at a construction site outside a hospital... The little boy who used to follow her around, stubbornly saying over and over that he would marry her, had grown up. . Everyone knew that the handsome, taciturn, cool and abstinent business tycoon Gu Shisu had a fiancee in name only. But he wore no ring on his left ring finger, had never been photographed in an intimate moment, and never brought a female companion to any of the many banquets he attended. Before long, everyone assumed his "fiancee" was just a decoy. Until one day, the media photographed Gu Shisu in a bespoke suit, kneeling by a hospital bed and lowering his eyes to kiss the scar on a young woman's calf. She looked barely into her teens, with misty doe eyes, so beautiful she seemed unreal. But wasn't Gu Shisu asexual?! So the media published an article: "A Touching Sibling Bond! Sister Bedridden for Ten Years, Brother Gu Shisu Stays by Her Side." Qiao Ning: "..." Qiao Ning refused the label: "We're siblings, all right. I'm the older one." Not long after, at a banquet. After several rounds of drinks, in front of countless people, the taciturn man pinned the young woman against a wall and kissed her until they were both gasping for breath. He showed the media the ring on his left ring finger and said, word by word: "She's not my younger sister, and she's not my older sister." "She's Mrs. Gu." . "It's been ten years. Your ex-boyfriend got married," Gu Shisu said. "And the person who had a secret crush on you got married too." Qiao Ning raised an eyebrow at him. "And?" The man silently gazed at her for a long while. Then he pulled her into his arms and covered her collarbone with countless delicate kisses. He whispered hoarsely in her ear: "So, big sister, you can only choose me." . Cool, devoted man x pretty girl [I called her big sister for three years.
