Years later, when they meet again, Liang Zhengping has a beautiful woman by his side.
Fang Ni hopes against hope that the way she once approached him with ulterior motives is all in the past.
At a dinner party, they run into each other. Her boyfriend pulls her aside and pleads in a low voice, "I hear Chairman Liang loves The Peony Pavilion. You know how to sing, don't you? Go toast him and sing a couple of lines. Just get on his good side."
Fang Ni is shocked and furious. She calls him crazy.
Liang Zhengping isn't some clay doll she can mold however she likes.
How could she dare provoke him again?
After her boyfriend walks away in a huff, she stands alone at the end of the corridor and closes her eyes.
Behind her, she hears the rasp of a lighter's wheel.
"Click."
Fang Ni's eyes fly open.
At some point, Liang Zhengping has come up behind her, standing two steps away. He doesn't look at her. He lowers his head to light a cigarette, the flame flickering against his profile.
He takes a drag, then turns to her and says evenly, "Weren't you always so good at finding excuses to get close to me? What are you hiding from now?"
