[Cool, Proud Heiress of a Prominent Beijing Family x Noble, Devoted Investment Banking Tycoon from a Prominent Beijing Family]
When Lin Xi was seventeen, an injury to her ear temporarily left her unable to speak. After her parents died in a car accident, she and her older brother depended on each other. Later, her brother was transferred for work and left, and she moved in with her maternal grandmother in a nearby city. During that time, her brother asked his friends to check in on her. The one who came most often was Qin Yu, the "Third Brother" who was five years older than her.
Beijing was more than a hundred kilometers from the nearby city, but he insisted on accompanying her to the doctor and patiently teaching her to speak. He even showed up at her school gate on time every evening. He reserved all his tenderness for her, but it all came to an abrupt end before she could summon the courage to confess. Her unrequited love came to nothing, and when trouble suddenly struck her family, she left for a distant land and lost contact with him completely.
They met again when she returned to China seven years later for a blind date. He cornered her in the restaurant hallway. "Is that your blind date downstairs? How did your taste get worse after spending a few years abroad? You have a better option right here, and you still chose him?"
"Who is the better option?" she asked without thinking.
Qin Yu: "Me."
