Love Hanging in Midair

■When love leaves you suspended in midair, you're the one who gives me solid ground.

Three's a crowd, and one of them has to go.

Cool heiress × unhinged fiancé × childhood friend who appears out of nowhere

Wen Ye always thought his life could be divided into two parts.

The first began when he was brought to the Song family and became Song Zhaoning's younger brother.

"My surname is Song. Zhao, as in 'bright and shining,' and Ning, as in 'peace.'

I don't like people calling me Big Sister. You can just call me Song Zhaoning."

She was in her teens then, pampered and proud, clever and sensible. She neither got close to nor made overtures to the stepfather's unwanted baggage, but neither did she resist or reject him.

Wen Ye paused, then stammered, "My surname is Wen... Wen Ye. Ye, as in 'bright and shining.'"

The other part began when he left the Song family and struggled to survive.

His younger brother was gravely ill, and Wen Ye was at the end of his rope.

He found out where she often went and tried to catch her attention with his breathtakingly handsome face.

That night, Song Zhaoning slipped a business card scented with perfume into his shirt pocket. Amid the shimmering champagne-colored lights, she asked:

"Haven't we met somewhere before?"

Wen Ye took a deep breath, his fingers clenching until his heart ached.

"I heard you like me. One and a half million. Is that enough to buy my life?"

"I was supposed to go to the twenty-sixth floor that day, but then she called and asked if I could take her home."

So, on his way to meet her, he bought her a bunch of roses that were about to wilt.
