Ren Fei went crazy once in her life. She knew Chen Chaoxian only asked her because of a bet, but when he said, "Be my girlfriend," she still nodded.
Back then, he shone with brilliance, surrounded by admirers, the darling of everyone. She, meanwhile, had a terrible reputation and did everything she could to hide the poverty stamped on her.
She wanted to see a different world.
Their relationship was brief and wild, and it carried her through the lowest point in her life.
For a moment, she lost herself in it, until she abruptly came to her senses one night. That was when the pride she'd struggled to hold on to shattered into pieces.
They were only using each other. She should have known that.
When they parted, she was calm. Chen Chaoxian's expression was cool as he said indifferently, "As long as you don't regret it."
Ren Fei walked away without a backward glance.

Chen Chaoxian never expected that the next time he saw Ren Fei, she'd be standing beside his father, dazzlingly beautiful and radiant.
She chatted and laughed with everyone over drinks, greeting each person with a smile, while treating him as if he weren't there.
When their eyes met, he couldn't see any sign that she still cared about him.
He suddenly remembered how, after their breakup, everyone had urged him to swallow his pride and admit defeat. He alone had said coldly, "No way!"
The memories came flooding back. He would never be the loser.

At a dinner party, someone asked him, "What kind of woman could capture your heart?"
In the dim light, Chen Chaoxian swirled his wineglass and glanced sideways at Ren Fei. With a faintly mocking smile, he said, "Definitely not a Miss Ren type."
Amid the laughter, Ren Fei downed her wine in one go from her seat in the corner, smiling as she replied, "What a coincidence. I don't care for a Mr. Chen type, either."
During the banquet, Ren Fei took a call, apologized, and left early. For some reason, he followed her out, only to find her kissing someone under a streetlamp. Chen Zhaoxian suddenly understood what he meant by wanting to possess her: No matter whose side she was on, she could only ever be his.
