Jiang Qin fell in love with Meng Yuan when she was seventeen. That year, Meng Yuan was twenty-five, surrounded by beautiful women, while Jiang Qin was an unremarkable, scruffy girl.
After graduating from high school, Jiang Qin worked up the courage to confess her feelings to Meng Yuan. He casually slipped her a piece of candy. "Uncle's busy. Don't make trouble. Go play somewhere."
After graduating from college, Jiang Qin returned to China for work and ran into Meng Yuan at an industry forum.
The scruffy girl from back then had grown into a graceful young woman, and her impromptu speech astonished everyone.
Half a year later, Meng Yuan cornered Jiang Qin in a parking lot. "Don't you think you owe me an explanation for stealing a kiss from me back then?"
Jiang Qin looked at him unconcernedly. "Uncle Meng, are you trying to pin something on me?"
Here's a taste of the chase-your-wife-to-the-crematorium trope. Back then, you couldn't care less about me. Now, I'm way out of your league!
