In the heart of Beijing, a purple Maserati ostentatiously parked in front of a sixteen-story building. Such a luxury car, worth millions, immediately drew the attention of many onlookers…
While everyone was murmuring in admiration, a man in his mid-twenties stepped out of the car, holding two bouquets of fresh, vibrant red roses.
Leaning against the car, his face—handsome with a hint of rebellious decadence—wore a lazy, charming smile. Paired with a pair of delicate gold-rimmed glasses, he exuded an indescribable air of elegance and nobility.
Many girls passing by couldn’t help but steal glances. When their eyes met his gaze—deep and subtly seductive—they blushed and quickly looked away, pretending to see nothing at all…
Yet after a while, they couldn’t resist turning back, hoping to catch a glimpse of those intoxicating eyes, wishing for his flirtatious gaze to linger on them just a little longer. But to their disappointment, his expression remained unchanged.
Two familiar faces appeared in his line of sight, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile so warm it seemed to melt the seasons. With steady steps, he walked toward the two women, roses in hand.
This display once again drew many curious eyes. Some men, perhaps out of jealousy, wore expressions of disdain. They couldn’t wait to see this man be rejected, to witness his embarrassment…
The two stunning beauties entering the crowd’s view were well known to everyone. They were the famous sister duo who, in just one year, had led their company to breakthrough economic barriers and created a commercial legend.
The company, now renamed Guiqi (Return Period), had deep ties with the prestigious Situ family, a major force in China’s financial world. Along with their breathtaking beauty, the two women had quickly become celebrities in Beijing.
“Frog wanting to eat swan meat—does this pretty boy really think he can win over the goddesses with money? Don’t forget, Guiqi’s annual revenue has soared into the hundreds of millions. How can a nouveau riche like him hope to win their hearts?”
“Unless he’s the son of a high-ranking official or builds them a villa with cash, there’s no way he can win these beauties. Someone so clueless—does he really believe in fairy-tale love?”
All the pedestrians slowed their pace. Even office workers on their way home paused to watch. They were eager to see Xiao Yufan get rejected—there was a certain twisted pleasure in seeing someone humiliated…
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, the man slowly approached the two sisters. He gently moved the bouquet covering his handsome face, elegantly bowed, and handed each of them a bouquet of roses. In a deep, husky voice, he softly said:
“If these two princesses are still unattached tonight, may I have the honor of dining with you?”
He smiled gently, the corners of his lips lifting into a teasing yet warm curve. His seductive, lazy face carried the depth of someone who had seen the world.
“This pretty boy is too full of himself! Trying to court both Qin Menglu and Yu Yihan at the same time? Either his brain is full of water, or he had his head stuck in a car door before coming here…”
“He’s way too inexperienced to ask such beautiful women out. This guy really should go home and study for a few more years!”
As the crowd murmured in laughter, the two women’s next actions shocked everyone. Those who had mocked him now wore expressions of disbelief and embarrassment.
The two women stood frozen for nearly half a minute. Their eyes gradually filled with tears, and joy, tenderness, and relief slowly bloomed in their gazes. Their tear-streaked faces, smiling beautifully, exuded a charm that could topple a city.
Yu Yihan, known as the Ice Beauty, managed to hold herself together better. But when Qin Menglu saw this man with his mischievous expression, her body trembled uncontrollably.
A whole year had passed. Countless times she had thought this man would never return, yet deep down, she always believed the one she cared for most would never abandon her. That was a woman’s intuition.
The man was none other than Xiao Yufan, returned after a year of trials. Now, he could only let Qin Menglu throw herself into his arms, her delicate arms gently patting his back, his shoulder slowly dampening.
Holding the roses, Xiao Yufan smiled at Yu Yihan, whose gaze was slightly defiant. His smile was wild and flirtatious. She, a woman who never felt nervous even when facing thousands of employees, couldn’t help but blush involuntarily.
At this moment, everyone hoping to see a spectacle was completely stunned. Without a doubt, this man, who seemed like a spoiled aristocrat, was no ordinary person…
Clutching tightly to Xiao Yufan’s strong body, Qin Menglu bit her lips, trying to suppress a year’s worth of emotions. When he suddenly disappeared without a trace, her heart had gone hollow. Now, she was truly afraid he might leave again.
“Are you… still okay?” Filled with guilt, Xiao Yufan didn’t know what else to say. A year was a long time—so many things could change. Yet the feelings between them had only deepened over time…
“Don’t ask me—I’m fine. You should explain yourself to Menglu. She’s been desperately searching for any news about you this entire year!”
Yu Yihan, gazing at his deeply familiar, weathered face, turned her head away. She didn’t want Xiao Yufan to see the moisture in her eyes. She, too, had lived through a year of longing and waiting.
The company’s name had been changed to Guiqi. Only she knew the meaning behind it. Swallowing her tears, she clenched her brows. Still the same stubborn girl.
“Big Brother Fan doesn’t need to explain anything. As long as you’re back, it’s enough. I really… really missed you!”
Her sobs made her voice tremble and break. That simple “I missed you” carried so much sorrow. Hearing it, Xiao Yufan felt his nose tingle…
“I didn’t leave on purpose. But it’s all over now. Everything’s in the past…”
Gently embracing Qin Menglu, Xiao Yufan felt no lust—only peace. Breathing in her delicate fragrance, his heart stilled in unexpected calmness. These emotions, cherished through a year of trials, were precious to him.
In the quiet, tender moment, Qin Menglu finally lifted her head. Her tear-streaked eyes were hazy and alluring. Her lips, reddened from biting them too hard, added a touch of enchanting charm.
Their eyes met, and a charming blush spread across her face. Usually seen as a snow lotus in the eyes of company employees, she now stood in public, intimately close to Xiao Yufan. The thought alone was enough to make her blush.
“Are you planning to hang on me forever? Or maybe we could move somewhere else? There are still a lot of people watching…”
Xiao Yufan teased, his mischievous face flashing a familiar, lewd smile. Qin Menglu lowered her head even further…
