http://novel.hongxiu.com/a/951147

Business genius Lu Zichu had a well-known quirk.

The Lu Group owned a prestigious modeling agency. Every season, without fail, it released a new line of wedding dresses once every three months.

The models who walked the runway in those gowns all shared one feature: gentle smiles in their eyes, and an air of domestic grace.

Only then would the usually impassive Mr. Lu show the occasional hint of a smile.

Some people speculated, “There must be a woman in Mr. Lu’s heart, someone he’s never forgotten all these years.”

No one could have imagined that one day he would bring a woman everyone called crazy to his side and care for her devotedly.

A classmate said, “They were college sweethearts six years ago. Who would have thought that after all these years, he’d still treat her the same way? A man so devoted is a rare thing.”

He called her “A Sheng,” looking after her with the utmost care and attention.

Eventually, people understood: if you wanted to win Lu Zichu over, you had to win A Sheng over first.

Later, someone exposed A Sheng’s marital status: married, husband an American citizen of Chinese descent.

The revelation caused an uproar.

Everyone condemned Lu Zichu and A Sheng.

She timidly clutched his sleeve, and he sheltered her in his arms. “Don’t be afraid.”

Some said Lu Zichu had gone mad. For the sake of a crazy woman, he was willing to ruin himself and destroy his reputation.

Her older brother, Gu Cheng, told A Sheng, “He can’t love you anymore. And if you were in your right mind, you wouldn’t love him either.”

A car accident gradually uncovered secrets buried by time. By then, she had come to her senses. As serene as ever, she said, “Zichu, sometimes, isn’t living in a state of madness a kind of happiness?”

He cried; she smiled. It turned out that in the world of love, they were both certifiably crazy.

[Present Day]

A woman slapped A Sheng, and Mr. Lu found out.

Mr. Lu patiently coaxed A Sheng. “Slap her back, and you’ll be even.”

Kindhearted A Sheng lowered her head and stayed still. Mr. Lu wrapped his arms around her from behind and said gently, “Hold your hand out flat.”

A Sheng held out her hand. Mr. Lu took it and slapped the woman standing frozen before them.

The smack startled A Sheng. Mr. Lu smiled faintly. “Feel better?”

Afraid he’d make her hit someone again, A Sheng hurriedly nodded.

Mr. Lu smiled.

[Flashbacks]

In the study, A Sheng recited a poem by Tagore: “We once dreamed that we were strangers to each other. When we awoke, we found ourselves dear to one another.”

She glanced at him and asked if he agreed.

“I don’t.” Mr. Lu looked away from his computer. “When I dream about you, you’re never a stranger.”

“...” A Sheng fell silent. There really was no talking to him!
