Heartbreaker

Blurb

When Yun Xin was sixteen, her best friend dragged her along to meet her older sister's fiance. It was the third month of spring. The man stood at the classroom lectern in a perfectly pressed black suit.

He was charming and refined. One look was all it took for her to fall.

That was the first time Yun Xin saw the twenty-seven-year-old Pei Qianli.

She pressed a hand to her chest and heard her heart pounding inside.

On a rainy night after the college entrance exams, rumors spread that her sister had cheated on her fiance. Yun Xin rushed to the hotel where it had happened, but all she saw was Pei Qianli sitting on the steps in the pouring rain, his gaze cold.

She wanted to go over and comfort him, but the man raised his rain-chilled eyes and suddenly grabbed her hand.

"Little Cloud, you like me, don't you?"

"I'm giving you a chance. Be my girlfriend."

"..."

Yun Xin's mind burst into a blaze of fireworks.

She had never imagined that her secret crush would plunge her into a hopeless love affair in this way.

-

Yun Xin had always thought she was merely a substitute Pei Qianli sought out when he was lonely. Even though he treated her well, she believed that one day he would leave her.

But when the truth finally came out, faced with her sister's baseless accusation that she had been the other woman, Yun Xin wanted to leave.

"If I don't give Brother Pei back to my sister soon, I'll really become the homewrecker, the mistress, and deserve to go to hell." Yun Xin laughed through her tears. "After all, you and my sister have been together for so many years..."

"If you're going to hell, then I'll go with you!" Before Yun Xin could finish, Pei Qianli suddenly pulled her into his arms and swore, earnestly, every word clear:

"Because I've fallen in love with you, too!"

[I thought I was just the one he dated while he was between relationships, but I never imagined I'd become the one dearest to his heart.]
