News came that my first love had died in a car accident. At our engagement party, my girlfriend slit her wrists and gave up everything. Only then did I realize she had always loved Cheng Qingshan. Reborn on the day of our engagement, she never showed up. Instead, she chartered a luxury cruise ship worth a billion dollars and married Cheng Qingshan. I watched their wedding trend across the headlines of every major news outlet, then turned and walked away. Six years later, I returned to China with my wife and ran into Jiang Ci at a gala for the elite. By then, she had become the heir to a business empire and was hailed as an outstanding woman in the business world. She stood close to Cheng Qingshan, chatting with the guests. When she saw me enter the banquet hall looking for someone, she frowned. “It’s been six years. You still haven’t given up on me? Even if you offered to carry my shoes and work as my assistant, I still wouldn’t fall for you.” I ignored her and reached under the long table to grab my daughter, who was sneaking cake. Her eyes suddenly reddened, and she demanded in a trembling voice, “How could you marry someone else and have a child? Didn’t you say you’d never marry anyone but me?”
