The Eleventh Year of Searching for Her

While hiking, Qi Xing'er was suddenly grabbed from behind by a strange man.

She struggled free and shoved him impatiently. "Who are you? Do I know you?"

The man said nothing. His burning gaze was fixed on her face, his pupils as dark as ink, and his feelings almost spilling from his eyes.

Qi Xing'er walked away without looking back.

Meng Tingzhi didn't dare follow.

He was afraid that if he caught up to her, she would vanish without a trace, just as she had eleven years ago.

Meng Tingzhi, the eldest grandson of the Meng family, was ruthless in business. In less than a year after taking charge, he swallowed up a rival company. He had been single for nearly ten years, and never had a woman by his side.

They said there was someone he'd cherished since he was young, but she had disappeared. He had searched for years, turning over every place she might be. Then Meng Tingzhi vanished.

When he returned, he was holding a young woman by the hand.

She looked no older than twenty, with a tiny face and especially lively eyes.

"The last time she was sick, President Meng fed her himself, and she told him to get lost."

"He cleaned everything up without a word, then did her laundry too."

"Another time, she slapped him, and all he asked was whether her hand hurt."

"If you ask me, she's just a stand-in, but she really thinks she's his one true love."

The young woman stepped out from behind the door and casually trod on the speaker's foot. "Well, I only just found out that I'm his one true love, too."

Obsessive possessiveness × unruly one true love

[Bonus Scene]

Snow fell softly outside on a blizzardy day.

Meng Tingzhi woke to find no one beside him. He searched every room and finally spotted Qi Xing'er washing up in the bathroom next door.

He suddenly wrapped his arms around her from behind, holding her so tightly it was as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.

"What's wrong?" She turned her head.

A warm, damp breath brushed the back of her snow-white neck.

Red-eyed, the man refused to let go. His voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible.

"I thought... you'd disappeared again."
