Zhao Tinglan never thought she would see Qi Qin again.

At the time, the Zhao family had fallen on hard times. She had only just taken over the Zhao Group and was running around everywhere before finally finding a chance to turn things around.

The banquet hall shimmered with light and clinking glasses. The moment she saw the man seated at the head table, her breath caught.

Everyone’s eyes turned toward her. Ignoring all propriety, she steeled herself and grabbed the man’s sleeve. “There’s a business deal I’d like to discuss with you, Mr. Qi.”

The deal never happened, but she did receive a room key.

Zhao Tinglan didn’t want to repeat the past, so she barged into Qi Group and then publicly crossed one of Qi Qin’s taboos.

“Can you pay back the billion you owe me?”

The moment she said it, the room erupted. Someone familiar with the story explained that three years ago, Zhao Tinglan had called off their engagement on the spot and given Qi Qin a billion to bring things to an end.

Qi Qin stared at her, his smile chilling. His words carried a pointed meaning. “A-Lan, beg me.”

“Please.”

Zhao Tinglan went from being Qi Qin’s fiancée to his secret mistress. To outsiders, it looked like she had used Qi Qin’s influence to rescue the Zhao family from its mess.

But no one knew that their daily entanglement had worn every last bit of affection away.

The day she said she was leaving, Qi Qin turned back on his way home and made his first stop locking her up.

His expression dark as water, the man said, “Would you stop running off if I locked you up?”

Tears gathered in the corners of Zhao Tinglan’s eyes. Seeing the affection in his, she mocked him. “So you can love someone after all.”

He kissed away her tears, murmuring with tender devotion, “A-Lan, we were made for each other.”
