When news came that my first love had died in a car accident, my boyfriend slit his wrists at our engagement party, giving up everything. Only then did I realize that he had always loved Xiang Nan.
Reborn on the day of our engagement, he never showed up. Instead, he spent a billion dollars on a luxury yacht to marry his first love. I watched their wedding trend across every major media outlet, then turned and left.
Six years later, I returned to China with my husband and ran into Yin Sichen at a gala for the elite. By then, he had become the heir to a business empire and been named an outstanding business leader. He was talking with guests, one arm tenderly around Xiang Nan.
When he saw me rush into the banquet hall to find someone, he frowned.
“Six years, and you still haven’t given up on me? Even if you offered to be my assistant and shine my shoes, I still wouldn’t fall for you.”
I ignored him and reached beneath the long table to pull out my daughter, who’d been sneaking bites of cake. His eyes suddenly reddened, and he demanded in a trembling voice,
“How could you marry someone else and have a child with him? Didn’t you say you’d never marry anyone but me?”
