Summer All to Myself

[Radiant, uninhibited heiress vs. refined, self-possessed gentleman]

1.

Sheng Xia was a famously aloof beauty among Beicheng's elite, with skin like jade and an air that put her beyond anyone's reach.

On the eve of her engagement, her fiancé fled to be with his first love. On her way to the Xie family to break off the engagement, Sheng Xia got into a car accident and suffered memory confusion. She mistook Xie Junci, who had come to visit her, for her fiancé.

A prominent business figure, Xie Junci was low-key in his dealings but decisive and ruthless in his methods. No one in Beicheng dared to offend him lightly.

Yet when the refined and distinguished Xie Junci arrived at the hospital, Sheng Xia threw herself into his arms and demanded a kiss as soon as she saw him.

The situation quickly spiraled out of control.

Sheng Xia continued to say astonishing things. "Third Brother, why did you take so long to come?"

Everyone: "!!!"

Everyone thought Sheng Xia was doomed.

Who could have guessed that Xie Junci, her fiancé's uncle and the head of the Xie family, would catch her securely in his arms?

A tear mole beneath the man's long, alluring eyes lent him a cool, seductive air, while his handsome face was veiled in frost.

Xie Junci frowned slightly. "Who's your Third Brother?"

Sheng Xia blinked. "You are. You're my Third Brother, Xie Junci."

Xie Junci fell silent for a moment. "Don't call me Third Brother anymore. Call me Brother Junci."

After regaining her memories, Sheng Xia was so mortified she wanted the ground to swallow her up.

The person she liked was her childhood sweetheart, the young master of the Xie family, to whom she had been betrothed since childhood. Even if she was angry enough to break off their engagement, she could never like a man like Xie Junci: meticulous, proper, cold, and utterly devoid of romance.

But the man she had thought was passionless, cold, and boring had bought her countless treasures and jewels while she was suffering from memory loss. He had also given her a villa, a luxury yacht, a private island...

Sheng Xia even found a video on her phone of the two of them kissing on the island.

In the video, she leapt into the man's arms and clung to him, asking for kisses. And Xie Junci, whom she remembered as stern and unsmiling, gazed at her with warmth and indulgence.

The stern, terrifying uncle in her memories... seemed completely different from the man she had imagined?

Having finally come to his senses, the young Master Xie was ready to ask Sheng Xia to take him back. He traveled a great distance to her home, only to find that the person who opened the door was his own uncle, Xie Junci.

Xie Junci wore a bathrobe, and the tear mole at the corner of his eye still held a hint of springtime allure, bewitching and seductive.

"Your aunt is asleep. Whatever you need to say, say it tomorrow."

No one knew that Xie Junci had spent a long time plotting and scheming to keep Sheng Xia all to himself.
