Wei Jinyu had struggled for years in the interior design field and had finally managed to open her own studio. Then, on New Year's Eve, disaster struck: the grandmother who had raised her was seriously ill and needed a large sum of money for chemotherapy.
With no other choice, Wei Jinyu swallowed her pride and used her connections to get in touch with the president of E City's Rong Group.
The man was in a tearoom, looking at her through the hazy steam. "Just two years. We won't interfere in each other's affairs. Can you do that?"
Wei Jinyu lowered her eyes. "I can."

Rong Yangqiu, the head of the Rong family, had always kept a low profile and never appeared in public. But he was accidentally caught on camera by reporters at a show in Paris, and the footage went viral.
Everyone knew he came from a distinguished family and had never been linked to any scandals. Even popular actresses had made discreet overtures to him.
Then, several months after that stunning shot in Paris, another video set the internet ablaze one day:
By the Seine, the distinguished man hooked a long finger under his glasses and took them off, then kissed the flushed-cheeked young woman in his arms with abandon.
After a long moment, he pulled away from her lips. Starlight reflected in his eyes as he asked hoarsely, "Jinyu, who do you belong to?"
Bonus scene:
Nobody knew that, back in high school, Rong Yangqiu had once sat in on a speech contest.
A young girl in her first year of high school stood under the spotlight, her face still youthful. When she spoke about design, she was full of confidence.
The rebellious boy listened to the whole thing quietly from a corner. From that day on, he put his temper behind him and picked up his textbooks again.
