Drunk on Beijing's Charm

[Second Chance Romance + 1v1 + Wife-Chasing Road to Ruin + Healing + The Powerful One Bows Down] In her sophomore year of high school, Yu Yan fell head over heels for Pei Zhiyu, the aloof campus heartthrob in her class. It took her over half a year of pursuing him to finally win him over. In the reckless bloom of youth, they loved each other passionately, and their breakup was just as ugly. Years later, Yu Yan ran into Pei Zhiyu again at an upscale restaurant. She was a waitress. He was now the man in charge of the Pei family. Remembering their bitter arguments and the difference in their positions now, she silently tried to avoid him. But in the end, she couldn't escape his grasp. In a dim corner of the hallway, he pinned her against the wall and demanded in a low voice, “Have you ever thought about me?” She didn't dare look at him. “No.” “But I've missed you so much.” His eyes were full of sincerity. “Can we make up?” She knew the reality of their situation. “We're not right for each other anymore.” “Is that so?” He lifted her chin, making her look at him. “Then step on me and climb as high as you like, until we're right for each other.” Pei Zhiyu had never been unable to get what he wanted. But in the springtime of his youth, Yu Yan taught him what it felt like to lose someone and still long for them. At first, he thought he could get over it. But after countless sleepless nights, his heart still hurt, and he still loved her. The moment they reunited, he understood: some people are both poison and the antidote. He was determined to have her. So what if she was mired in trouble? He would put all his power and resources at her disposal.
