College student x golden boy
[Blurb]
*
During her poorest years, Tang Yang was with Duan Congcheng.
He came from a powerful family, was cool and refined, and kept a moonlight-white first love in his heart.
Being with a man like him could only mean the good life.
Later, Duan Congcheng was going to marry his first love, and Tang Yang's family ran into trouble.
Their secret relationship ended without a word.
She accepted her fate and married a man who seemed respectable.
She went to Macau on her honeymoon with her new husband.
Her husband went wild at the casino, lost his temper as his losses mounted, and shoved her toward the table. “You play!”
Amid the chaos, a hand closed around her wrist.
“Any man who takes his anger out on a woman is a coward.”
Duan Congcheng stood there, no longer the scholarly young man he'd once been. He now carried the coldness and intimidating presence he'd acquired in the cutthroat world of business.
Her husband cursed him for sticking his nose in, until someone recognized his name and the whole table fell silent.

Later, that scumbag husband shamelessly begged her to use her connections to help him secure a business deal.
When she pushed open the door, a man was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. Backlit, his expression was hard to make out; only the crimson tip of his cigarette glowed, brightening and dimming.
“When did you get married? Why didn't you send me an invitation?”
Then, in a hoarse voice, he asked:
“Does he treat you well?”
Tang Yang didn't answer.
Duan Congcheng stubbed out his cigarette, grabbed her waist, and pressed her against the desk.
“What future is there with a man like that? Come back to me.”
