Lu Peiran's girlfriend of six years cheated on her.
Once, Lu Peiran had eyes only for Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng didn't like her getting physically close to other people, so she kept her distance from all her friends.
Xu Cheng said she wasn't ready to take things further, so Lu Peiran swallowed her feelings and only dared to kiss the corner of Xu Cheng's mouth.
When Xu Cheng got drunk and fooled around with her friends, one call from someone who'd lost a game was all it took for Lu Peiran to rush from her overtime shift at the office to the bar in a torrential downpour.
Then Lu Peiran saw Xu Cheng, who wouldn't let her get even a little closer, nestled in another woman's arms, pouting and tilting her head up for a kiss. They kissed passionately as everyone around them cheered them on.
Soaked through, Lu Peiran stared in a daze at the scene and heard Xu Cheng laugh carelessly amid the crowd.
"Lu Peiran? Just a pretty puppy who follows me around. She wouldn't leave me alone, so I finally agreed to date her. If I want to break up, all I have to do is say the word. Believe me, she won't even dare ask why. She'll just beg me not to leave."
Am I really that pathetic?
Lu Peiran thought, then turned and walked out of the bar.
She wandered alone through the streets in the pouring rain. Then, in front of her eyes, she saw a cold, gloomy woman in a wheelchair holding a black umbrella.
Through the fine curtain of rain, the woman held out her hand. Her voice was cool and flat.
"Lu Peiran, come here."
"Come home with me."
Xu Zhongxi had been called a genius all her life. Like a finely calibrated clock, she had ticked away through life with mechanical precision.
But in the tenth year after taking over Xusheng Group, on her twenty-eighth birthday, her enemies sought revenge. She survived the car accident by sheer luck, but her legs were left disabled. She would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
From then on, Xu Zhongxi, chairwoman of Xusheng Group and head of the Xu family, became even gloomier and more unpredictable than before. No one dared to cross her.
Until she met Lu Peiran, her niece Xu Cheng's girlfriend.
Xu Zhongxi watched them in silence.
She saw Lu Peiran's affection for Xu Cheng, Xu Cheng's impatience, and a relationship that was never going to last.
She also saw Lu Peiran in the rain, heartbroken and soaked through like a little dog.
This time, Xu Zhongxi finally brought the little dog home.
-- "Lu Peiran, tell me, what is love?"
*A tearful, clingy, sweet girl who cries at the drop of a hat and loves like a puppy x a cold, moody, gloomy, disabled CEO
