Ambiguity

*My next story will be Cause and Effect, about a non-blood-related brother and sister

Reunion after years apart / Mutual pining / Bittersweet romance

Gentle, sweet heroine x cocky, handsome bad boy

There's a saying that goes around the procurator's office:

If Chief Prosecutor Chen doesn't do his job, he'll have to go home and inherit the family business.

Chen Yi has a handsome, roguish face, sharp features, and a proud, unruly air. He seems like a careless slacker, but he's the youngest prosecutor in the office, with a bright future ahead of him.

Shu Yan is just a junior assistant who recently passed the exam to join the procurator's office. Gentle-eyed, sweet, and quiet, she's the picture of a well-behaved girl, and seems to have nothing in common with Chen Yi.

No one knows that she and Chen Yi were high school classmates.

Ten years ago, she turned him down.

By unspoken agreement, they pretended not to know each other, and neither brought it up.

But their calm was shattered in an instant.

All because Shu Yan smiled a little too warmly at a male colleague. That night, Chen Yi cornered her behind the office door.

"Such a sweet smile?" The man's breath drew closer, his voice icy. "How much longer are you going to pretend you don't know me?"
