Returning to Port Tonight

[Powerful Man Bows His Head] [Angst Before Payoff] [Both Pure] [Desperate Pursuit of His Wife]

Cold, chaste power broker of the capital x dazzling, spoiled heiress from Hong Kong

Everyone in Jingbei knows that Pei Tingshen has had a secretary by his side for six years.

But nobody knows she is also his wife.

After a carefully orchestrated corporate leak scandal, he personally slid her resignation letter across the table.

"Resign of your own accord. Don't make things difficult for me."

Rong Wanning smiled and agreed.

Only, she quit not just her job, but her role as Mrs. Pei, too.

After Rong Wanning returned to Hong Kong, news reached Jingbei.

The woman who had once given up her career for her marriage was a research genius sought after by countless investors, and a Hong Kong rose who made a name for herself in a single race.

Only then did Pei Tingshen realize how dazzling she had once been.

At a Hong Kong cocktail party, Rong Wanning chatted and laughed with another man on her arm.

After the party, Pei Tingshen stopped her in the corridor, his eyes bloodshot.

"Who is he?"

"Mr. Pei, remember your place as my ex-husband."

The man leaned down with a low laugh, lightly brushing her lip with his fingertip.

"Your ex-husband wants to kiss you. Is that okay?"

Rong Wanning turned her face away. "No."

He really did stop, but he couldn't bring himself to leave.

"Pei Tingshen, what exactly do you want?"

His Adam's apple bobbed, his voice hoarse.

"I want you to love me once more."

"And if I won't?"

"Then I'll be the one to wait for you."

Later, someone saw the capital's financial titan kneeling on one knee late that night, the corners of his eyes crimson.

He knelt, begging her to look at him just once more. Before his knees touched the ground, his tears had already fallen.

The volume title comes from Miriam Yeung's song "Wild Child".
