"In the place where silence reigns, I'll love you until the end."
During an out-of-town business trip, Fang Huai unexpectedly received photos of her rich boyfriend cheating on her.
The last traces of her old affection vanished. Fang Huai called him right away and broke up with him.
After the call ended, in the frozen silence, a soft laugh suddenly came from behind her.
Fang Huai was startled and turned around sharply.
A tall, slender figure stepped out of the shadows, playing with a silver lighter in his hand.
"Well, well." Zhou Zhiqun lowered his head to light a cigarette, his eyes cool and clear. "You broke up with your little boyfriend?"
-
When Fang Huai had a boyfriend, her boss was just her boss.
After Fang Huai broke up with her boyfriend, her boss began plotting to cross the line.
-
Zhou Zhiqun, Managing Director of Tiansheng Investment Bank's Asia division.
Ruthless and cold-hearted, he was someone the Jiangcheng elite all fawned over, yet feared to some degree.
No one knew that he had been secretly in love with someone for five whole years.
At a department team-building event, a longtime friend teased him: "Come on, tell everyone. Which beauty has kept our Mr. Zhou lovesick and chaste all these years?"
Zhou Zhiqun smiled politely, but his gaze drifted to the corner of the room.
His little secretary was sitting on a reddish-brown leather sofa, playing dice with her colleagues. After a few drinks, she smiled sweetly and brightly.
At one moment, Fang Huai looked up as if sensing something.
In the dim, shifting light, their eyes met.
Zhou Zhiqun knew he had finally waited long enough.
