Su Yaohan called the police to catch a thief, only to catch her fiance cheating.
He was no longer the shy boy who used to bring her flowers. He was solidly built now, and no longer acted so timidly around her grandfather.
In front of the police and the other woman, he berated Su Yaohan: "You don't love me at all. I can't take it anymore!"
Su Yaohan had always had everything go her way since childhood, and never cared much about anything.
This incident finally got to her, and for the first time in her life, she went on a blind date.
The rooftop garden restaurant was quiet. The late-spring sunset slanted across the room, shrouding the man's silhouette in dim light and making him seem all the more elegant and aloof, yet impossibly out of reach.
At the end of the date, Su Yaohan finished her glass of red wine and asked just one question.
"If we really get married, will you leave me without a word because there are no feelings in this marriage?"
The man said quietly, "No."
Su Yaohan relaxed. "As long as you'd talk it over with me."
At that, the man gave a soft laugh, a hint of something dark in his cool, distant eyes.
"I think you've misunderstood me."

Only later did Su Yaohan realize that the man who had come on the blind date didn't match the profile the matchmaker had given her.
The profile described the general manager of a well-known tech company, an outstanding man by ordinary standards.
But the man who showed up was a dazzling new star in the business world, with a fortune beyond measure: the sole decision-maker of Ruiling Technology Group.
As it happened, he was also that general manager's direct superior.
On their wedding night, she casually brought up the discrepancy.
She hadn't expected the man, who seemed so refined and abstinent, to be so spiteful. He didn't bother explaining the reason, only saying, "You got my name wrong at the wedding this morning, but now you're so concerned about someone else's business."
Like torn velvet, the night mist billowed in the air. Amid their mingled breaths, the man used the rose lipstick from her lips to write his name across her waist, stroke by stroke.
Fu Jingci.

Su Yaohan never imagined that one day she would care more about someone else's happiness and sorrow than her own.
Even less did she expect that afterward, she would discover that Fu Jingci, who claimed never to have had a first love, often wrote letters to an unnamed woman.
Unwilling to compromise, she signed the divorce papers on her birthday and left them beside his pillow.
Later, a tall stack of yellowed letters, like a little mountain of Christmas gifts, was piled in front of her.
Fu Jingci's refined, aloof eyes lowered slightly, revealing a glimpse of the carefree, dashing boy he had once been.
But in his eyes lay years of deep affection, mingled with an unreachable longing, growing wild and unchecked.
"I should have sent these to you ten years ago."
Fu Jingci pulled out the envelope at the very bottom and asked softly, "Won't you open it and take a look?"
