A Blessing from the East Wind

[Older, Guiding Lover x Growing Heroine]

[Rekindled Love After a Breakup, Wealthy-Family Drama]

The first time Jin Xiangdong saw her, she was sitting quietly by the window amid the bustle of people. Graceful and gentle, she was about to become his sister in name only.

During that time, everyone thought they were strangers.

No one expected Jin Xiangdong to arrange a flight back to the country and make a huge spectacle of locking down news across the city, all just to see her one more time.

It was the night before Chi Yi was supposed to get engaged to someone else.

The man's coat was damp with rain. His eyes cold, he asked her whether she truly wanted to marry another man.

The girl curled up in a light gray armchair, tears streaming down her face as she gently hooked a finger around his. Carefully and earnestly, she told him:

"Big Brother, I only want to stay by your side forever."

Chi Yi was telling the truth when she said she had no choice, and she was also lying to him.

All these years, she had known all too well that, from beginning to end, her life was worth no more to her mother than a pawn. So she had to scheme at every turn and never let herself grow attached.

That included the time she spent with Jin Xiangdong. She had only meant to use him, then leave him behind.

But in the end, he still found her.

The car was pitch-black. Jin Xiangdong snapped his lighter shut and looked down at the girl slumped beside him, his eyes half narrowed.

He slowly lifted her face.

"Now you won't even call me Big Brother."

"The dream has ended. May the eastern breeze bring you joy."
