1. Jian Xi had a handsome, tall boyfriend from a wealthy family.
When they first got together, they were the couple everyone at school envied. But gradually, Jian Xi noticed that her boyfriend was becoming more and more possessive. The childhood friend who had always been by her side, her best friend since childhood, even a senior from her department whom she had met only once... He found ways to drive them all away, until she had no social life left and he was the only person she could talk to.
One day, she couldn't take it anymore and asked her boyfriend to break up.
Her usually mild and aloof boyfriend, eyes reddening, begged her to give him one more chance.
Jian Xi was heartbroken and conflicted, but in the end, she still chose to end things.
2. After dropping out of college in her freshman year, Jian Xi went to study in Canada alone. She didn't tell anyone before she left.
Two and a half years later, her family's company ran into trouble, and she returned home after finishing her undergraduate degree early.
The day after she got back, she saw Fu Yanci again at a banquet arranged by her family.
When they met again, their positions had changed completely. Jian Xi was now the one her family was begging to persuade Fu Yanci to invest and save the company.
In only two and a half years, the man had shed his college-age immaturity and become a capable head of the Fu family.
He came toward her with a smile, catching up as if they were old friends. It was as though he didn't care that two years ago she had broken up with him, then abruptly gone to Canada and vanished from his life.
3. Ever since Jian Xi returned, Fu Yanci kept appearing in her life by sheer coincidence. At first, she thought he hadn't gotten over the past, but every time they met, he was always polite and proper, keeping a safe distance from her.
Jian Xi gradually let down her guard and learned to get along with him like a friend. Then one day, the man stared expressionlessly at her as she went on a blind date with someone else, his eyes full of darkness and obsession.
Under Fu Yanci's possessive gaze, she heard him say in a hoarse voice, "Jian Xi, I was afraid you'd be scared, so I didn't want to rush things."
Only then did she realize just how well Fu Yanci had been pretending.
