As far as Fang Shixia was concerned, her only connection to Liang Yancong was that they had both attended Yaogang High School.
Apart from that, they came from worlds apart and had nothing to do with each other.
Her stepbrother reminded her:
“He's the scion of a prominent family, a heaven-blessed prodigy. He'll have a life partner who suits him.”
“And you're ordinary and insignificant, just some random passerby.”
“Other than at night, you'll never get even a scrap of his attention.”
She was deeply confused.
“But I'll be resigning in ten months.”
“I've played out this unrequited-love story for long enough. It deserves a proper curtain call.”

As for Liang Yancong remembering her for only ten days, while she had loved him for more than ten years,
that was another matter entirely.
Over the years, she'd only ever secretly watched him twice.
Once, at Terminal 3 of Capital International Airport, she watched him board a flight to ring the Nasdaq opening bell;
once, when she attended his wedding.
And he would never know
that the only two handwritten cards he'd ever praised for their beautiful calligraphy,
“Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together” and “May your life go smoothly,”
had both been written by her.

Liang Yancong held a position of power and influence. People who tried to attach themselves to him were as numerous as carp crossing a river, but his mild yet forceful work style scared them all away.
Fang Shixia was one of the few who managed to stay by his side.
First, she was good at anticipating her boss's needs and never entertained any wishful thoughts, making her the perfect secretary.
Second, she lied: “I'm in love with my brother. The ex-wife you've been thinking about is now his partner.”
“With our interests aligned, I won't betray you.”
-
After that, Fang Shixia felt that Liang Yancong was becoming harder and harder to deal with.
He didn't give the white orchid diffuser in his office so much as a second glance.
The hangover tea she'd carefully prepared for him showed up at someone else's place the next day.
The Ru kiln porcelain bowl she'd bid on for him was met with a smile and the words, “I don't like it.”
Fang Shixia thought that if their feelings didn't match, it was fine. She could just leave early.
-
Later, Liang Yancong held the “Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together” card and cornered her in a business suite on the top floor of a hotel, slowly loosening his tie.
“Who did you mean to wish this for?”
“The brother who covets you, the blind date who admires you, or us?”
“That night, before we went to sleep, you said you'd get a marriage certificate with me.”
Fang Shixia tried to say something else.
Liang Yancong raised a finger and pressed it to her lips before she could speak.
“Don't be afraid.”
He said calmly, “Your brother was outside the door that night, too. I'm sure he remembers it clearly.”
