Bad-boy designer Lu Wenzhou x sweet fondant artist Tang Guo

Lu Wenzhou stood tall at 183 centimeters, with the kind of playboy face that made him look born to break hearts. As the young CEO of Guoxia Design, he was a natural center of attention, a true favorite of fortune.

Tang Guo had a cool, delicate beauty and an impossibly slender waist. She was the owner of Qiaohe Sweet Book, a well-behaved girl who would blend into any crowd, and, as others liked to call her, a fallen heiress.

Despite being as different as heaven and earth, the two of them had once shared a passionate, all-consuming romance.

Their reunion at a blind date came completely out of the blue. Their mutual friend, oblivious to everything, teased them with a grin. "This is the sweet girl from Chanyi Lane. So many people have lined up, and not one of them has had a taste."

Tang Guo's fingers clenched suddenly around her skirt until her knuckles turned white. Her lashes trembled, and she didn't dare meet his eyes.

Lu Wenzhou looked up at her, one brow raised. He gave a self-mocking curl of his lips, his voice low and hoarse, with a hint of nonchalance.

"Tsk. I don't think she's nearly as sweet as you make her out to be. She tastes pretty bitter, actually."

The gears turned, and time rolled back.

The people surrounding her closed in, their threats growing more and more vicious. In her panic, she suddenly thought of the young CEO from Fuxun No. 2 High School: he always won fights, and he was miles ahead of everyone else academically. Without thinking, she blurted out, "Lu Wenzhou is my boyfriend!"

Before the words had even left her mouth, a basketball slammed into the ground behind her. His loose school uniform outlined a lean yet upright figure.

The boy bent toward her, his breath brushing over her as a low laugh escaped his throat. There was a teasing lilt at the end of his words. "You don't need to book an appointment before pursuing someone?"

In high school, Tang Guo had been completely absorbed in her studies. She never dared hope she would have anything to do with him. But fate had other plans, and he was the one who pursued her first.

Those days were dazzling and passionate, but brief as a flower in bloom.

Everyone was betting on how long it would take the young master Lu to get bored. But circumstances forced her to be the first to end things, decisively and cleanly.

Later, everyone was certain that Lu Wenzhou, proud to his very core, would never turn back.

But no one knew that he was the one who lowered his head first.

After a wild night, Lu Wenzhou trapped her in the small space of the bed. His fingers hooked around the corner of the blanket, his gaze falling on the curve of her pale skin. He gave her a roguish smile, his voice low and husky, full of temptation.

"Tang Guo, shouldn't you take responsibility for me? You did this to me... It still hurts."

Tang Guo hurriedly covered his thin lips, stopping the shameless words spilling from them. She stammered, "I-I'll take responsibility."

"I set the trap to collect what you owe me, and now I'll spend my whole life paying it back."
