You're all welcome to read it! * Sharp-tongued, proud young heir from a wealthy family, a hopeless romantic x intelligent, gentle, stubborn young heiress * CEO romance / Beijing's wealthy circles / childhood sweethearts / mutual pining / rival suitors get their comeuppance Yin Jihong is the head of the Yin media empire and a top-tier star in Beijing. With a casual gesture, he can decide someone's fate, yet he gives all his affection to his childhood friend, Jin Mo. To Jin Mo, Yin Jihong is part of her very bones. From the days when they were toddlers in split-crotch pants to the graceful woman she is today, he has been by her side every step of the way, filling more than twenty years of her life. Until one late night, as she curled up on his sofa watching an old movie with her head on his knee, she casually told him, "I'm getting married." The breath above her abruptly stopped. As she stared at him in astonishment, he, usually so carefree and irreverent, caught her by the wrist. A hidden tide churned in his eyes. "Jin Mo, I taught you calculus and physics. I've been with you through every step of your life. What makes you think I'd let someone else be the final answer?" - Jin Mo is gentle and reserved, with a soft disposition. But Yin Jihong has made her out to be the infamous "she-devil" of their circle. The night before, Yin Jihong had been an absolute menace again. She'd finally had enough and gave him a proper telling-off in the middle of the night. At the Yin Group executives' meeting the next day, a crowd of senior managers sat around a long table, their gazes all glued to Yin Jihong's neck. They wanted to sneak a look but didn't dare. It was the middle of winter, yet their CEO had flung open his sweater collar, as if eager to announce the red fingernail marks on his neck to the world. Halfway through the meeting, Yin Jihong crossed his legs, propped his chin on one hand, and scanned the room with a shameless grin. "Should I hand out magnifying glasses so you can all get a better look?" The executives broke into a cold sweat and sat in terrified silence. Then they heard him sigh heavily. "Can't be helped. My darling has a temper. When she gets mad, she likes to get physical with me." One executive tried to comfort their poor CEO, and bravely chimed in, "President Yin, your wife is so fierce. You must have it tough..." "Say that again? Fierce?" Yin Jihong gave him a faintly amused look. "My darling is a little fairy. How can you call her fierce? Do you want me to scratch up your face right now?" The executives: "..." Love is moonlight that cannot be hidden. Sooner or later, it will overflow the banks of friendship and sweep us into the tide called fate. I dedicate this to the love I've kept hidden for half my life.
