Longing

[The Second Male Lead Takes the Win, While the Trash Ex Gets Sent Straight to the Crematorium and Reduced to Ashes]

One rainy night, Xiang Ge was stood up by her boyfriend because he had to host a welcome dinner for the woman he had always loved, who was returning from abroad.

Unaware of the reason, Xiang Ge had no choice but to walk back to campus alone in the rain.

That's when she ran into Chu Yunxiao.

The cold-blooded, mysterious head of the Chu family, and her boyfriend's uncle.

The man narrowed his eyes. The rims of his gold-rimmed glasses caught a cool gleam, making him seem intimidating.

Then he spoke: "Get in."

After the breakup, her trash ex regretted it bitterly and wouldn't stop pestering her, trying to get back together.

The sweet, innocent-looking woman he had always loved secretly showed up with a baby bump to stake her claim in front of Xiang Ge.

Right in front of her, Xiang Ge answered Chu Yunxiao's call:

"Darling, I'm back on campus. I miss you."

Chu Yunxiao chuckled softly over the phone. "I don't want to be apart from you, either."

Xiang Ge thought Chu Yunxiao was just playing along. Only later did she realize he had used the act to confess his feelings.

Chu Yunxiao had been coveting her for a long time.

Bonus Scene:

After poor management brought his company to the brink of bankruptcy, Chu Hefan's fiancee feared being dragged down with him and ran off in the middle of the night with everything he owned.

At last, Chu Hefan remembered how good Xiang Ge had been to him. He showed up at her door with 990 roses to beg her to take him back.

But the person who opened the door was his own aloof, chaste uncle.

Xiang Ge's sweet voice came from inside. "Honey, who's there?"

Only when Xiang Ge approached did Chu Yunxiao let the chill leave his eyes. He gazed at her fondly and said, "Your eldest nephew."

Chu Hefan: ??!!

Chu Yunxiao: "What are you standing there for? Say hello."

Trembling, Chu Hefan called out to Xiang Ge, "A-Auntie."

Xiang Ge: "Good boy, Nephew."
