Falling in Love a Second Time

Five years after her breakup, Su Wanyun had yet to meet anyone else who stirred her heart, including the blind date sitting across from her.

Half a cup of coffee was all the patience she had left.

Su Wanyun gathered her thoughts and politely said, "You're a great person."

The words "but we're not right for each other" were already on the tip of her tongue when a lazy voice from behind and to the side cut in: "Great? Su Wanyun, your taste has fallen harder than the stock market."

His distinctive voice carried memories of the past, surging arrogantly through her mind and heart.

A blurry figure immediately appeared in Su Wanyun's mind.

She reined in her emotions and slowly turned around. Her pupils trembled. It really was him!

Lu Chenxu had shed the sunlit innocence of his college days. His features were more defined, and time seemed to have favored him, refining him into someone even more handsome and exceptional.

But now there was a little girl of about three or four by his side.

The girl looked at Su Wanyun, her round eyes shifting about, then looked up at Lu Chenxu and asked in a sweet voice, "Daddy! Why hasn't Mommy gotten off work yet?"

Oh, so he'd come to pick up his wife with his daughter. Then why was he sticking his nose into her business?!

Su Wanyun's brow twitched, and the words slipped out: "Your daughter? She doesn't look like you at all. Thank goodness!"

When old flames met, sparks flew. To avoid an even more awkward situation, Su Wanyun didn't even say goodbye to her blind date. She grabbed her bag and left.

That evening after work, he blocked her at her front door. "Su Wanyun, lie to me one more time. If you win, I'll give you a million and let bygones be bygones. If you lose, pay back the money from last time."

Right. Five years ago, she'd deceived him and taken his money in exchange for doing a job.
