Love at the Wrong Time

Jiang Linxia asked Mu Xichuan, “If one day I wanted to get married, would you marry me?”

“No.” He had never intended to take responsibility for a woman in his life.

Four years of youth had gone down the drain just like that.

--

When Mu Xichuan learned that Jiang Linxia had a new boyfriend, he flew into a rage. “Jiang Linxia, are you really that eager to cheat on me?”

“Mu Xichuan, I don’t want to play this game with you anymore.”

“But I’m not done playing yet. You don’t get to decide!”

“Jiang Linxia, you’re my woman. If anyone dares lay a finger on you, I’ll kill him!”

--

The day Jiang Linxia left, Mu Xichuan chased her to the airport like a madman. The once untouchable beauty had tears in his eyes.

“Jiang Linxia, you dare leave! I’ll make you regret it!”

“You said you loved me. You can only love me for the rest of your life!”

“Jiang Linxia, you can’t make me fall in love with you and then throw me away!”

Jiang Linxia looked at him impassively. “Mu Xichuan, you’re the one who taught me that deep love is meant to be betrayed.”

[Heiress vs. Men from All Walks of Life] [The Male Lead Fights for Her / The Second Male Lead Chases His Wife After Losing Her]

(1)

When Zhao Jintang was ten, her mother abandoned her and remarried. The following year, her father died in an accident, and the Lu family, old friends of her parents, became the only place where she could find warmth.

From that day on, Lu Zhoujie took meticulous care of her. He was by her side for countless firsts in her life.

Zhao Jintang always believed their feelings were mutual. Then, one day, she happened to overhear Lu Zhoujie and realized that to him, she was nothing but a burden he wanted to get rid of.

Watching the women in his life come and go, while there was never a place for her, Zhao Jintang lost hope and fled to Penang.

(2)

The next news she heard from home was that Lu Zhoujie had an official girlfriend.

The car was cramped, and there was no need to eavesdrop. Pei Lin had heard every word of the phone conversation.

Suppressing the anticipation in his heart, the man asked her in a low voice, “What are you planning to do?”

Zhao Jintang suddenly looked up, her gaze landing on his thin lips.

For an instant, the tumult in her mind went blank. She heard herself say, “If I slept with you, would Lu Zhoujie be furious?”

(3)

Their stolen days soon came to an end. Zhao Jintang returned home to honor her engagement to Lu Zhoujie, though it had long since changed into something else.

She thought that if she was ruthless enough, she could cut off everything in Penang. But when she learned that the Lu family planned to crush Pei Lin, she panicked.

Zhao Jintang stopped him outside his office building. “Did Uncle Lu tell you to go to Country L? Don’t go! Trust me.”

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Pei Lin realized she had misunderstood, but he didn’t correct her.

He glanced at Lu Zhoujie, who had been standing outside the car window from the very beginning, then pressed Zhao Jintang against the passenger-side door.

The pose was too intimate, and Zhao Jintang didn’t dare look outside.

Seeing how nervous she was, the man leaned even closer. “What are you afraid of? It’s no secret anymore.”

Chen Yunong loved Ke Yiheng for eight years. In the last year of her life, she decided to live for herself for once.

She went to Ke Yiheng. “Don’t you want the rights to my work? Then break up with her and be with me. A year from now, it’ll all be yours.”

That year, Chen Yunong did her best to ignore Ke Yiheng’s coldness and disdain, and tried to play the part of a happy wife. As promised, she left after a year. “Let’s pretend you married me in this life. In the next, let’s never meet again.”

Only after Chen Yunong left did Ke Yiheng realize he had fallen in love with her without even noticing. He chased after her like a madman. “Chen Yunong, what gives you the right to come and go as you please? Do you think I’m dead?”

Later, Ke Yiheng left North City for Chen Yunong and went to the place where she had lived for almost twenty years.

Once again, he abandoned the company to its fate. His assistant was at a loss, and the directors could no longer keep their composure...

With no other option, the assistant went to Chen Yunong, explained the situation, and begged her to save him and persuade the boss to come home.

Chen Yunong told Ke Yiheng to hurry back to North City. But Ke Yiheng answered pitifully, with a hint of menace: “If you don’t come back, I won’t either. Let the company go bankrupt, let it shut down. My wife ran off, so what do I need all that money for?”

Chen Yunong: “...”
