[Childhood sweethearts reunite after a breakup, starting with their reunion, first love for both, a sweet romance]

On the night she moved into her ex-boyfriend's house, Wen Qingyi couldn't sleep, just as she'd expected.

After tossing and turning, she left her bedroom and crouched in front of the sofa, staring at the sleeping Xie Mingzhou. Her mind was filled with the urge to kiss him.

In the darkness, Xie Mingzhou suddenly opened his eyes. Their gazes met, and she fled as if he'd seen right through her thoughts.

A moment later, the bedroom door handle turned, and Xie Mingzhou came in.

The next day, on the way to the airport, Wen Qingyi suddenly said, "Let's leave it at that. We should call it quits."

The man beside her pinned down the hand she was using to unfasten her seat belt, laughing in fury. "Who was it that held me and kissed me last night?"

"You think you can just call it quits? Do you take me for a gigolo?"

Chen Tangzhen saw Zhong Yiming again at a meeting to discuss a partnership. He was the client, and settled on a proposal in just a few words, all brisk and decisive.

After the meeting, her colleagues were both gossipy and amazed. "I heard Zhong Yiming is adopted. The Zhong family is actually grooming him to be their heir."

Remembering the past, Chen Tangzhen scoffed. "Maybe he's an illegitimate son."

Zhong Yiming, who should have left, came back through the door and happened to hear her. Her colleagues exchanged awkward glances and hurried away.

The enormous conference room was left with just the two of them. Zhong Yiming closed the door behind him and fixed his gaze on the scarf around her neck, which did a poor job of hiding the marks.

The corner of his lips lifted, his tone casual. "An illegitimate son? Then what were we doing last night, dear sister?"

Chen Tangzhen first met Zhong Yiming in elementary school.

Her father told her, "This is A Yun's son. I've changed his name to Zhong Yiming. From now on, he'll be your older brother."

Chen Tangzhen knew that A Yun was her father's unforgettable first love, and that the fox spirit's son would naturally be a little fox spirit too.

She glared furiously at Zhong Yiming, just as he looked her way.

He had a refined, fair face, but his eyes seemed to conceal a snake lurking in the shadows.

Cold and dangerous, they stared at her without blinking.
