Moonlight Once More

Childhood sweethearts / rekindled romance

Pampered heiress x traditional, scholarly businessman

The day Liang Qihui returned to the country, his childhood friends got together for a party.

They played spin the bottle and the loser had to share a secret.

Liang Qi lit a cigarette and looked at Wen Suiyan across the table, his dark eyes unreadable. "I've been married."

Wen Suiyan took a sip of wine, revealing a hickey on her neck. "I've been divorced."

Their friends: ???

Everyone said Liang Qi was fiercely protective of his own, but those who knew him understood that the person he protected was Wen Suiyan.

When he was seven, he stood up for her and came home covered in scrapes, then spent three days copying the family rules as punishment.

When he was seventeen, he beat up the thugs harassing Wen Suiyan in an alley. A knife cut his hand, and he needed seventeen stitches at the hospital.

When he was twenty-seven, he returned to the country.

A strange man was standing beside Wen Suiyan.

Liang Qi lifted his eyes and gave her an indifferent glance, then mocked her from across the enormous banquet table. "Your taste has gotten worse over the years."

After dinner, everyone went their separate ways.

Several chaotic sounds came from a dark, narrow alley.

Wen Suiyan was pinned against the wall. Hot breath brushed her ear, and Liang Qi's voice came through, practically gritting his teeth.

"Wen Suiyan, who used to protect you? Have you no conscience?"

-

Everyone said Wen Suiyan was spoiled, but everyone wanted to pluck this beautiful, wealthy flower.

Unfortunately, most people couldn't find a way in, and before they could pluck her, they got pricked.

People in their circle said Wen Suiyan was willful, but they didn't know that the most willful thing she'd ever done was secretly marry Liang Qi without telling anyone.

Unfortunately, they divorced in a hurry before they could make it public.

Later, admirers came flocking to her, but no matter how many she considered, she always felt they were missing something.

When she learned Liang Qi was returning to the country, she panicked for the first time. She hastily took a project in the entertainment industry and plunged into filming, only to run into a rich second-generation heir who wouldn't stop pestering her.

When Liang Qi came to see Wen Suiyan, the rich heir was fawning over her, reaching to take her hand.

Liang Qi stepped in between them and took the man's hand instead.

The rich heir froze, then quickly caught on. "You must be Yan's big brother."

"Big brother?"

Liang Qi raised an eyebrow and considered it for a moment before saying unhurriedly, "After we got married, she did like calling me big brother."

P.S. Definitely one-on-one.

Premise: Every inch of time is worth its weight in gold
