[Bold, determined economics and management professor Fang Yunning & elegant, aloof Forbes regular Zhou Tingyu]
Older woman/younger woman, groveling redemption, happy ending
When the ginkgo leaves fell, Fang Yunning caught the scent of ink and water from her memories once more. Four years after they parted, Zhou Tingyu's tenderness had frozen into frost. The frail business heiress avoided her like fire, leaving Fang Yunning able only to watch through the glass as pale fingertips moved across spreadsheets.
Using a university-business partnership as an opening, Fang Yunning used formulas to work out how to reach her heart, and won a moment of emotion from her amid a data crisis. One night, she came across a figure curled up with stomach pains. The apology left unspoken fermented beneath the moonlight.
(Paper can be dyed again, but can a heart once led astray ever be made whole?)
