A Romantic Escape

[Male Secret Crush]

Cheng Xinyi, a gentle and well-behaved heiress from a prominent family, makes her first act of rebellion by fleeing her wedding just before she is about to marry the heir to the Lu Group.

While escaping, she has the bad luck to be hit in the leg by a novice female driver. The driver takes full responsibility and brings her to see a doctor. When she realizes Xinyi has no ID on her, she kindly invites her to recover in one of her vacant apartments.

Thinking of her broken leg and the fact that her bank cards have been deactivated, Cheng Xinyi hesitantly accepts.

While staying there, Cheng Xinyi meets the girl's older brother. With his cold features and lofty air, he seems difficult to approach.

When their eyes meet, in particular, he is anything but friendly. His gaze is restrained and irritable, as if he strongly dislikes having a stranger live in his home.

As it happens, this man is also surnamed Lu.

Cheng Xinyi sighs inwardly, thinking she must be at odds with that surname.

Later, when Cheng Xinyi's ex-boyfriend asks her to get back together, the girl's brother gets drunk that same day and mistakes her for someone else. Overcome with passion, he pins her against the bookshelves in the study, his words humble: "Why can't you love me? I miss you..."

"Mr. Lu... you, you've got the wrong person."

The heat of his arms around her makes Cheng Xinyi's legs go weak. For one brief moment, she truly believes those lingering whispers are meant for her.

Life goes on quietly.

Cheng Xinyi and her landlord, Mr. Lu, grow closer and closer, but the heir to the Lu Group suddenly adds her contact information, much to her annoyance.

Afraid he might still have feelings for her, Cheng Xinyi deliberately sends him a photo of her landlord, Mr. Lu.

She adds: [Sorry, Mr. Lu. I'm pursuing someone right now, so I'm afraid I can't spare the attention to marry you just yet!]

Lu Huaiwei looks at his own photo in the message, first stunned, then shaken to the core.

[Is that your excuse to turn me down?]

[Don't worry, Mr. Lu. I'll let you know once I've won over my future husband~]

This time, it takes the other person a long while to reply: [I look forward to it.]
