Love on a Whim

Next up: A Marriage on a Whim

Shen Wu first met Huo Beisheng at her parents' funeral.

The company had gone bankrupt and both her parents were dead. Her relatives argued over who would take her in, but no one wanted the burden of raising her.

She lowered her head, trying to shut out everything around her, when she suddenly heard a deep voice.

“I'll take care of Shen Wu.”

She looked up. The man wore a black suit, his features carved like a sculpture, with light shining behind him.

Everyone said Huo Beisheng was immune to women's charms. Even when the wealthy young women of Nancheng lined up to try and win him over, he remained unmoved.

It seemed there was only one thing in Huo Beisheng's world: work.

But later, a young girl entered his world.

He adopted Shen Wu only to repay a debt of gratitude, but he never expected...

*

On the day Shen Wu came of age, she nervously confessed, “Huo Beisheng, I think I like you.”

Meeting him that year was like a bright moon appearing through dark clouds. Shen Wu was greedy enough to want to embrace the moon forever.

“You said you'd take care of me. How about for the rest of my life?”

Huo Beisheng looked at the young woman who had grown up before his eyes, keeping his feelings restrained and his expression cool. “Shen Wu, I am already engaged.”

But Huo Beisheng never expected that his rejection would separate him from Shen Wu for years.

When they met again, there was no woman by his side.

But she walked up to him with another handsome man on her arm and said softly, “Uncle Huo, it's been a long time.”

Huo Beisheng felt an empty space in his heart. Only then did he understand that the woman he had rejected was the love of his life.

[We only get one life in this world. If you like someone, then love them without holding back.]
