The Deep Night Is Hard to Cross [Rekindled Romance]

*Second-chance romance, reunited from the opening *Cool and alluring × Cunning and devoted * Blurb: At a dinner party, someone casually remarked, “I heard Ye Nong is back in the country!” The red wine in Shen Yixiao’s hand trembled slightly. Someone teased him. “Remember when Mr. Shen and Ye Nong were the talk of the town?” In college, Shen Yixiao and Ye Nong had a romance that shook the whole city. The Shen family was one of the wealthiest in the country, while Ye Nong had nothing but a stunning face. Everyone thought she was the one who’d been abandoned. No one knew that behind the dorms that night, in the darkest, dirtiest corner, Shen Yixiao had kissed her until she could barely breathe, then begged her humbly, “Can you stay?” But she left anyway, without looking back. * Ye Nong returned to the country with her company to break into new markets. She was assigned to a new project, but the client kept making things difficult, so she had no choice but to deal with them in person. As the sun sank, Ye Nong saw Shen Yixiao in the spacious office. He stood before floor-to-ceiling windows shimmering with sunset light, his expression grim and his voice cold. “It’s been a long time, Miss Ye. How have you been?” Back then, under his protection, she’d been proud and unyielding. But times had changed. He thought she would give in, but after a long silence, all he got was, “Thank you for asking, Mr. Shen. I’m doing well.” Shen Yixiao walked toward her, step by step, his shadow falling over her. “Ye Nong, after you toyed with me for six years, what’s wrong with begging me once?” But in the end, he was the one who gave in and begged. He always was. That night, papers scattered across the desk. Shen Yixiao kissed the corner of her lips in resignation. “Ye Nong, what terrible thing did I do in my past life to deserve being putty in your hands in this one?” Reader’s note: One couple, both sexually inexperienced Theme: Love at first sight, a reunion no one saw coming
