Drifting in the Evening Breeze

[Rekindled love X mutual pining X bittersweet push and pull]

[Sharp-minded, devoted real-estate CEO X gentle, resilient beauty and translator]

[The male lead is utterly devoted. He'll spend a long time loving her without being loved in return, and he'll lose his mind over it.]

1,

Jiang Wan never imagined she would see Chen Yu again.

They sat facing each other beside a solid-wood-trimmed desk.

He was the client's real-estate CEO, while she was just a minor translator working for the contractor.

Chen Yu was cutting and sharp with her, every word a barb. "I have always put profit first. I care only about results. I don't have time to play your little game of personal growth."

So he really did hate her.

2,

That night, Jiang Wan pulled out the blue notebook that had been with her since high school.

From the first page to the last, every character had been copied in her own hand.

It turned out they had once shared such beautiful memories...

But she had lost them all.

3,

She prepared herself for Chen Yu to "get back at her," but she never expected things to reach a breaking point.

Under heavy clouds at midnight, the wind howling, he called her out again. Exhausted, Jiang Wan said, "Chen Yu, even if you hate me, there should be a limit, shouldn't there?"

"Honestly, even if you want revenge, surely you've done enough by now."

"Revenge?" Chen Yu sneered, his eyes heavy with sorrow.

"So all this time, you thought I was taking revenge on you?"

"Wasn't that what you were doing?"

Chen Yu looked at her coldly. "Jiang Wan, do you even have a heart?"

Jiang Wan's heart ached, her long lashes trembling.

She tried to leave, but he suddenly grabbed her wrist. His voice sounded low by her ear. "Don't go."

Jiang Wan struggled. "I don't think there's any point in staying now."

"It's your birthday," Chen Yu said softly, his voice seeming to vanish into the night. "I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday in person. After all these years, that's not too much to ask, is it?"

Jiang Wan froze.

Chen Yu gently drew her into his arms, his deep voice lingering by her ear. "I've missed you so much all these years."

"What about you? Did you ever miss me, even a little?"

, After their reunion, every "I hate you" was really an "I love you."

[Reading notes]
