Thinking of My Beloved

[Secret Crush] [Reunion After Years Apart]

The first time Jiang Yitao met Xu Huozhou, a heavy rain was falling. She hadn't brought an umbrella, and stood at the guard station with her Hello Kitty backpack, waiting for her driver to pick her up.

Xu Huozhou and his friend rode out of the underground garage on their bikes, laughing and chatting. The handsome young man, with thick brows and fair skin, spotted the girl standing by the entrance at a glance.

He stopped his bike in front of her, reached out to hold his umbrella over her head, and lifted his chin. “Hop on. I'll take you home.”

Young and reckless, he had no idea where he got the nerve to think he could take a princess home on a bicycle.

Years later, the two ran into each other in the imperial capital, just as a torrential rain began to pour.

A black Hummer stopped in front of her. Jiang Yitao came out of her office building, desperate to get out of the rain. Without checking the license plate, she climbed in. “Driver, take a detour past Sangang Bay. I need to stop by a pharmacy.”

Silence filled the car.

Jiang Yitao couldn't help looking up. Their eyes met in the rearview mirror.

“...”

After three seconds of stillness, Xu Huozhou was the first to break the silence. Raising an eyebrow, he asked, “What did you just call me?”

Jiang Yitao was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, “Boyfriend.”

Now that she'd called him her boyfriend, she couldn't just run away.

Xu Huozhou smiled, deciding to turn himself from “boyfriend” into “husband.”
