First Love Rekindled

Jiang Lai was the good girl her parents and friends all agreed she was, yet she had done plenty of outrageous things.

The summer she turned eighteen was the one she remembered most.

Her parents were fighting over a divorce, so they sent her to the countryside for a vacation.

There, she fell for Su Yelai, the most handsome and hardest-to-win-over boy around.

A short black haircut, narrow, thin-lidded eyes, and a dark gaze full of a teenage boy's arrogance and defiance.

He was like a lone wolf, proud to the core.

But eventually, he was won over by Jiang Lai in her white dress and became her devoted boyfriend.

At the height of their youth, they did just about everything together.

With her first year of college about to begin, Jiang Lai broke up with him.

Su Yelai lowered his head and begged her to stay, saying he could go to Beijing with her.

Jiang Lai didn't look back.

A poor country boy couldn't give her the future she wanted.

At twenty-five, Jiang Lai returned home with Chen Shifei, the man her mother had arranged for her to marry.

As soon as she stepped inside, she looked up and saw a tall, slender figure at the turn of the second-floor landing.

He leaned lazily against the railing. The glass in his hand caught the light, flashing a harsh, icy gleam. His gaze fell on her, cold and haughty.

Chen Shifei introduced him: "This is my cousin, Su Yelai. The old man personally chose him as his heir. He's a little cold, so steer clear when you see him."

But when it was time for dinner, Chen Shifei couldn't find Jiang Lai.

Su Yelai had her pinned against a door, kissing her without restraint.

Jiang Lai didn't resist. She tilted her head back and asked, "You can't still hate me after all this time, can you?"

Su Yelai laughed in anger. He lifted her chin, his knuckles nearly white. "Yes. You're the first person who ever dared to play me."

"Jiang Lai, don't think you can find someone else. I won't let you go."

And I won't admit that I love you, either.
