I got my heart broken. He was my first love. I loved him for eight years, only to be betrayed. Then, all at once, I came to my senses.

Cheng Tiyao entered my life just then. This younger guy was incredibly handsome and gentle, reckless and passionate as a puppy.

He kept saying "I love you," again and again. He kissed me earnestly, made love to me earnestly, and spoke as though he truly meant every word.

Cheng Tiyao's friend said to me: [Stop dreaming. He has someone he loves, his white moonlight. He would never truly fall for anyone else.]

After I got together with Cheng Tiyao, I ran away.

There was no misunderstanding we couldn't clear up. I just didn't feel secure.

I was scared.

Back then, I didn't know that as I boarded the plane bound for a place 10,828 kilometers away, the puppy who had rushed after me with all his might had bloodshot eyes and was crying until his voice broke.

Two years later, the young master of the Cheng Group, looked down on by his family, became the most talked-about person in City A.

He wrested control of the company from his father and rose to power, becoming the youngest heir to the group.

Everyone said he was ruthless and decisive, with a sharp face that never betrayed his emotions.

That was what Fang Su heard when he returned to the country.

He knew the reckless, clingy puppy would never come back.

"Help you?" Behind the desk on the top floor of the company, the man stroked the ring on his hand and spoke carelessly. "You abandoned me for two years. Do you think I still have feelings for you?"

"It doesn't matter. It's not as if you're the only one." Fang Sui bit his lip and turned to leave.

"Wait." The man stopped him. "How about a bet? If you win, I'll help you."

"What?"

The man pressed him into a corner, his warm, low breath falling against his ear. "Let's bet on whether you'll be able to get away from me this time."

Employee A: [Why is President Cheng always picking on that pretty boy?]

Employee B (whispering): [I heard the person he loved and worked so hard to win over abandoned him. They've been gone for two years. President Cheng couldn't have the one he loved, so maybe he's developed some psychological issues...]
