Thinking of the Beauty

Blurb: They say beauty is like a flower beyond the clouds. To Yi Ling, Lian Mu used to be just such a beauty, lofty and impossible to win over, no matter how hard she pursued him. Later, after the Lian family went bankrupt, she finally got her wish and used money to pluck this flower from the mountain top. Unfortunately, the beauty was thorny and poisonous. Once he rose to prominence again, it was only natural that he would break free of her control. On the day Lian Mu and Yi Ling broke up, he expected her to cling to him, act meek, and beg him to stay. Instead, she smiled sweetly, readily agreed to his request to break up, and left without a trace of reluctance. After the breakup, everyone waiting for a laugh expected Yi Ling to come back and beg him to take her back. Little did they know that she flew overseas that very night and never returned. For Yi Ling, the time she loved Lian Mu most was when he agreed to date her, even though it was only a fake romance she'd bought with money. For Lian Mu, the time he loved Yi Ling most was after he realized she had never loved him that much. She left with a carefree stride and never looked back. Warnings: 1.
