Modern fairy tale / powerful man falls from grace / seven-year age gap
1.
One rainy night in the spring of 2015, Wen Qiao met Shang Yongnan for the first time.
The man was in his early thirties, tall and upright, composed and steady. He stood beneath the dazzling, shimmering lights of the villa's dining room, exuding the distinguished air unique to someone long accustomed to being in a position of power.
Her clothes were soaked by the rain, and she looked a mess. Her mother introduced him with great enthusiasm: "This is your younger sister's friend, Mr. Shang from Zhongtai Group."
A major player who could move the business world of City A at will.
He was also her younger sister's crush and a guest of honor in her parents' home. How could Wen Qiao not know who he was?
She always minded her place and kept her distance from him.
2.
The day she went to him for help came in the depths of winter.
Snow blanketed the entire city, turning everything outside the floor-to-ceiling windows pure white. The room was as warm as spring. Wen Qiao waited anxiously for an entire afternoon.
The man arrived very late. Sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, he casually rolled a cigarette between his fingers, perfectly calm and composed.
She stumbled through a long explanation, until she heard him chuckle softly.
She couldn't help looking over. The fingers holding his cigarette tapped lightly against his knee. He seemed amused, regarding her with interest. "Wen Qiao, surely you know I don't need money."
Of course she knew. She simply had nowhere else to turn.
Then she heard him say gently, "Come here."
