#He willingly became the prey, waiting for the hunter to take him home.
Six months ago in Florida, Fuxin sat quietly in a corner in a striking red dress. A man looked up and glanced at her.
Late that night, he carried her back to the hotel, her high heels in one hand and her in the other.
He said, "If you need me to, I can stay."
Fuxin was half-drunk, but her smile remained carefree. "Men who come on too strong aren't very appealing."
They met again when the Fu and Ji families were discussing a marriage alliance. She looked up, and her gaze fell on a noble, reserved face.
She was slightly taken aback.
The prospective groom beside her stood up. "Brother, you're here."
In front of both families, Song Jinshi looked at her with a meaningful gaze. "Miss Fu, we meet again."
Song Jinshi was usually quiet and unassuming, but his methods were rather forceful. Whether it was the Song family or his mother's Ji family, most people were wary of him.
So when he quietly sabotaged Ji Mingyu's marriage, everyone could only seethe in silence.
Except Ji Mingyu, who was used to doing whatever he pleased. Furious, he challenged him. "What kind of brother does that?"
Song Jinshi looked up, his eyes as impassive as ever. "You're not good enough for her."
No one knew why Song Jinshi was so determined to have Fuxin.
Later, when Fuxin learned the truth about why he had gotten together with her, it struck her as both absurd and laughable. Without even seeing him, she ended their relationship with a single breakup text.
Six months later, on the night a hurricane struck, Fuxin saw Song Jinshi drenched in rain.
He cornered her, having lost all his usual composure.
"Are you really so heartless?"
