Five years after their breakup, Ji Guixia ran into Fu Shiyi again. Wearing the cafe's apron and carrying two takeaway coffees, she froze outside his office.

An old classmate sitting on the sofa nearby spotted her and paused, then sneered. "The great beauty Ji's fifty-year-old lover actually let you come out and deliver coffee?"

Ji Guixia met Fu Shiyi's cool, indifferent gaze from across the room. She lowered her eyes first, then walked into the office.

"Your latte, and your iced Americano. That'll be 55 yuan."

On the eve of his tech company's IPO, Fu Shiyi ordered two hundred cups of coffee from the cafe downstairs.

Ji Guixia worked overtime alone until after midnight, carrying coffees up and down the building more than ten times. As she stood in the elevator, watching the numbers climb, she suddenly remembered five years ago, after she had broken up with Fu Shiyi. He had waited outside her dorm for ten whole days and nights, before his friend finally dragged him away, cursing and grumbling.

The last of the two hundred coffees was Fu Shiyi's iced Americano.

Ji Guixia pushed open the door to his office. Only a floor lamp was on, its faint glow spilling into the silent city night.

Fu Shiyi was leaning back against his desk, tie loosened, the cigarette between his fingers glowing a searing red. His head was bowed, and he didn't look at her.

Ji Guixia walked over and set the coffee on his desk. She took out her phone, opened the calculator, and worked out the bill, waiting for Fu Shiyi to pay.

Fu Shiyi put out his cigarette and turned to look at Ji Guixia. The light from the screen fell across her face, illuminating her smooth skin. Suddenly, he reached out, grabbed her around the waist, and pulled her against him. In the darkness, his expression was unreadable.

"Ji Guixia, should we give this another try?"

Coming soon: His Little Crybaby

When Fu Xilou was fifteen, his elders arranged an engagement for him. The other party was an eight-year-old little brat.

The little girl knew nothing about the world. She was clingy and always crying.

Fu Xilou couldn't accept that the wife he'd spend the rest of his life with would be such a spoiled crybaby.

After graduating high school, he went abroad to study. His little fiancée saw him off at the airport, clutching the purple teddy bear he'd given her. She cried so hard that her chubby little face looked like a steamed bun.

Fu Xilou had a headache. He hurried onto the plane without even bothering to say goodbye.

Later, his family called to say the engagement was off, and that if he met someone suitable abroad, he should go ahead and date her.

Fu Xilou had no objections. He only felt relieved to be free of that "crybaby burden."

Six years later, when Fu Xilou returned to China, he learned that the engagement had been called off because his little fiancée's father had gone bankrupt.

His family worried he would be angry, but he was calmer than anyone. He left them with a cold remark.

"We were never right for each other."

Fu Xilou saw his little fiancée again a year after returning to China. His car was parked outside the procuratorate.

Through the window, he saw her in the distance. After all these years, the little dumpling he'd once known had grown into a poised, graceful young woman. Her quiet appearance could certainly fool people.

But he knew her better than anyone. She was spoiled, domineering, a crybaby, and loved to act shamelessly.

Sitting in his car, he saw her getting chewed out by her superior. He thought to himself that the crybaby would burst into tears any second now.

But he sat in the car for a full ten minutes. Her superior went from shouting at her to hurling a stack of documents at her face, yet his little fiancée remained silent the entire time, eyes lowered, her youthful face perfectly calm, without the slightest hint of emotion.

Fu Xilou felt strangely unsettled.

He saw her crouch to pick up the papers, and suddenly reached out and pushed the car door open.

#My long-lost former fiancé suddenly showed up and made my boss cry. What is going on? Asking for a friend, but it's urgent!!#
