Summary
At nineteen, Gu Jinyan coaxed me into tasting the forbidden fruit.
Six years later, he did the same as he had back then-
Holding a young, tender intern on his lap.
Everyone thought that even if I caught him with another woman with my own eyes,
I wouldn’t dare utter the words ‘break up’.
But this time, I suddenly grew tired of it all.
On a night of torrential rain, I dragged my suitcase and left.
It was a long while before Gu Jinyan called me, sounding nonchalant: “The rain is too heavy. You can leave tomorrow instead.”
I didn’t respond. Suddenly, the phone pressed to my ear was taken away by someone.
Instinctively, I turned around-only to be pinned tightly against the floor-to-ceiling window from behind.
As the call was cut off, Shen Zongnian leaned close to my ear and said:
“Li Man, since the rain is so heavy, why don’t you stay at my place tonight?”
