Told from the receiving partner's perspective. An upcoming novel about a new love interest after a painful breakup.
During a violent storm, Wen Jing went missing while traveling overseas to attend a financial conference. Just the day before he left, he'd proposed to Ning Huizhi, and they'd agreed to make their relationship public on the twelfth of the following month.
There was no time to break down in grief. Ning Huizhi, who had been Wen Jing's secretary for ten years, quickly reported him missing, notified the Wen family, contacted ships in international waters to search for him, and pleaded with government agencies to publish a missing-person notice in the daily news.
A month passed with no word from Wen Jing. After three months, everyone was certain he had died at sea. Only Ning Huizhi refused to give up.
Then he received a call from the international police, who told him a tsunami had hit that area of the sea that day, and the chances of anyone surviving in those conditions were almost zero.
At last, Ning Huizhi accepted reality.
But he knew he might never recover from that tsunami, and that he might never start a new relationship, even though plenty of outstanding men pursued him over the next two years.
That included Wen Jing's older brother, the man who had always overshadowed Wen Jing and haunted him like a nightmare. He pursued Ning Huizhi passionately.
Ning Huizhi turned them all down.
Then one day, Wen Jing suddenly appeared before everyone again, completely unharmed.
And he had brought another boy with him.
On the Sunday night after that, Ning Huizhi woke up in Jing Ping's bed, lit a cigarette, and told him, "I accept your courtship."
