Ten Years of Secret Love, Mr. Zhuang Can No Longer Hide It

In the seventh year of their relationship, Qu He finally discovered that she had been cheated on for four years. She promptly quit her job, broke off her engagement, and cast aside her prim, proper image, becoming breathtakingly beautiful. She thought she was finally turning the page on her life, but she never expected Zhuang Bieyan, the famously refined gentleman of Beicheng, to keep appearing around her and then, at just the right moment, enter her life. She had no idea what he wanted. Just as she had no idea that he had been waiting for her for ten years, through the long river of time.

*Zhuang Bieyan, heir to one of Beicheng’s most prominent families, was the business world’s most impeccable and self-restrained young gentleman. The 321 rules of his family’s code of conduct were etched into his very bones. But where no one could see, he had been secretly in love with Qu He for ten years. Watching her humble herself and give everything for a terrible man, Zhuang Bieyan kept his feelings in check and never dared cross the line. Only after she turned away did he begin to make his moves, step by step. Everyone in Beicheng knew the Zhuang heir was as elegant as a jade tree, but only Qu He knew the madness hidden beneath his polished exterior. Later, when her ex came to beg for another chance, Zhuang Bieyan cast off his usual restraint and pinned her against the back of the door. His thumb brushed the red mole at her waist as he murmured hoarsely, “A He, don’t look at him. I’ll lose my mind.”

*“Rule 321 of the Zhuang family code: Never take advantage of someone in a vulnerable position. But for you, I don’t mind being a sinner.”
