Fragile, sensitive, delicate darling x calculating, gentle, cold on the outside but warm within
Chi Yan is a legend at Nanda University.
Born into a top-tier family and outstanding in ability, he took control of the Chi Group right after graduation. He's a shining name in the alumni directory.
His only blemish is that five years ago, the sweet, well-behaved Yu Miao dumped him.
Her airy "I don't love you anymore" crushed all his pride.
He hated her to the core.
Five years later, at the Nanda University alumni reunion, the top-floor banquet hall is filled with glamorous guests.
Chi Yan arrives as the evening's featured guest, wearing a custom-tailored suit, radiating a frigid presence as everyone gathers around him.
But amid the clinking glasses and lively conversation, he spots Yu Miao in a corner.
She's wearing a faded white dress and clutching a cup of warm water. So thin she's almost unrecognizable, she huddles alone in the shadows.
Rage surges in Chi Yan's eyes. He pushes through the crowd and sneers:
"Yu Miao? Can't make it on your own, so you're here looking for your next meal ticket?"
Before he can finish speaking, Yu Miao's face turns as white as paper. Her breathing quickens, and she collapses limply.
The room erupts in shock.
An ambulance wails.
Holding her frail body in his arms, Chi Yan finally realizes something is wrong.
Outside the emergency room.
A nurse hands him her battered handbag, its contents spilling out: medicine bottles and documents.
Anticoagulants, heart medication... On top is a form for heart stent surgery. The date of the operation hits him like a punch: the early hours of the day after they broke up!
At that moment, Chi Yan is completely stunned.
He remembers her pale face and the cold sweat on her brow the night before their breakup, but he thought it was just guilt...
Once the tycoon who lorded over the business world and turned everything upside down, Mr. Chi becomes anxious and humble, staying by her hospital bed without moving an inch.
Later.
He kneels on the carpet and cradles her cold ankles, carefully pulling the softest cashmere socks over her feet, inch by inch.
"Miaomiao, lift your foot a little. Don't let it get cold..."
When it's time to give her medicine, he can only coax her softly:
"Good girl, finish this sip and I'll take you to your favorite dessert shop behind the school. How does that sound?"
This time, I'll be the one to lower my head, the one to stay by your side, year after year.
