When they first met, eighteen-year-old Lin Qiaoran had just started her first year of college. With long hair down to her waist and a white dress, she was as pretty and delicate as a girl stepped straight out of a comic.
At the time, Gu Xingchen was sitting in a business car. His younger brother, still in college, pointed her out to him. “Bro, that’s my goddess. I’m going to pursue her.”
A fleeting glimpse, then years passed.
When they met again, the girl had transformed completely, and every gesture of hers exuded feminine allure.
Representing her company, she met with him to discuss business. At the dinner table, she raised her glass to him. “Mr. Gu, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I hope you’ll look after me.”
The man gave a slight nod, his expression unreadable.
Later, rumors spread that Gu Xingchen, the renowned president of the Gu Group, had fallen for someone. He had bid on jewelry worth millions at an auction in Paris, and when a new limited-edition sports car came out, he had placed an enormous order for the one-of-a-kind custom version in girlish pink. Yet no one had ever seen him drive it.
Then one day, Lin Qiaoran’s best friend came to stay the night after arguing with her boyfriend. By chance, she discovered the limited-edition pink supercar in Lin Qiaoran’s garage.
Lin Qiaoran merely spoke in a nonchalant, casual tone, as if describing the most ordinary little thing. “That? Well... I just mentioned in passing that I thought the color was pretty. Who knew he’d actually buy it?”
Gu Xingchen realized that no matter how many years passed, and no matter how they changed, she would always be the eighteen-year-old girl in his heart. All he wanted was to cherish her in his hands and hold her close, doting on her like a princess.
Reality can be cruel, and the adult world is full of helplessness.
Fairy tales are made up, but his willingness to be romantic for her is real.
A romance between mature adults, a modern-day fairy tale.
SC, HE.
