Love at First Sight | Reunited After a Breakup
Xu Mo first met Zong Qi in the Zong family’s study.
She accidentally knocked over a model he treasured, and he greeted her with a string of barbed taunts.
From then on, she had no affection for Zong Qi whatsoever.
After that, they kept crossing paths. Everyone called him Fourth Master Zong. There were few rumors about him in public, but everyone around her repeatedly warned her that the Zong family of the capital had deep roots and enormous power. Fourth Master was cold and ruthless, and absolutely not someone to provoke.
Stubborn to the core, Xu Mo only wanted to take on this tough challenge all the more because everyone else feared him.
In the tender quiet of the night, a sheen of sweat glistened at Zong Qi’s temple as he buried his face beside her ear. His voice was low and hoarse. “Momo, stay by my side.”
Xu Mo’s eyes were hazy and unfocused. She wrapped her arms tightly around his back and softly agreed. “All right.”
Later, turmoil engulfed the capital. Xu Mo left without a word, leaving behind only a line of writing: If there is another life, let us never meet again.
Zong Qi clenched the note until his knuckles turned white and the veins on his hands bulged, forcing himself to swallow the heart-rending pain.
When they met again, she already had a fiance by her side.
The words of her cold farewell kept circling through Zong Qi’s mind. Late one night, he showed up at her door.
Xu Mo heard him and opened the door, standing firmly in his way. Her tone was distant. “Mr. Zong?”
A bone-chilling cold seemed to cling to the man, frost covering his features. He spoke calmly. “Long time no see, Momo.”
Xu Mo’s heart sank. Knowing he would not give up easily, she brought up her fiance, hoping to draw a clear line between them. All she got in response was a low, cold chuckle.
Zong Qi forcefully pulled her into his arms and whispered against her face, his possessiveness impossible to resist. “It’s fine. Then he can see for himself how much we love each other.”
