Dumped By First Love, Pampered By the Billionaire

Cheng Weiyue first met Zhao Hanchen at her father's retirement banquet. Her father, intoxicated, clapped the man's shoulder and called her by her nickname, "Ningning, this is Daddy’s most proud student." Upon hearing this, Zhao Hanchen chuckled lightly, his narrow eyes carefree and easygoing, causing the heart of the eighteen-year-old girl to flutter as she looked down. Latter on, in a bustling market, the man praised by all choked a gorgeous woman in a dim corner, feeding her a puff of smoke from his mouth. He glanced sideways at her, speaking slowly and with a smile, "Ningning?" The heart flutter was inevitable. But the prodigal son did not return, and the breakup was not pretty. On the day of the breakup, Beijing University’s beauty Cheng Weiyue, in front of all onlookers, slapped young master Zhao twice, while the latter turned his face away and did not move for a long while. Nobody knew that in the low-profile business car, Zhou Family’s most upright and mannerly Family Head, the legendary Zhou Jingwei from the legal world, gripped the young girl’s delicate chin and kissed her fiercely. After a while, he brushed away the tears at the corner of her eyes with his fingertip, his dignified and cultured face gentle as he spoke, "Have you had your fun?" ... Cheng Weiyue had seen Zhou Jingwei at his most tender. On the first day of the Lunar New Year with heavy snow, at Ling'an Temple in Jingcheng amidst the feathery snow-covered world, teeming with people and swirling with incense smoke, she went to seek a Marriage Charm for herself and Zhao Hanchen. Until Zhou Jingwei walked against the crowd towards her, stuffing the Marriage Charm into her hand, "What you wish for may not always be granted." He paused, then added, "Ningning, when you’re done playing, come back." The Buddha says that turning back is the shore, and on that day Cheng Weiyue looked back again and again only to see Zhou Jingwei standing behind her, amidst the vast crowd, his gaze firmly on her. The Buddha truly never spoke deceptively.

This sentence was flattering, but Cheng Weiyue did not want to dwell on how much of it was praise and how much was insinuation.

"Thank you for your compliments, Uncle."

Her tone was indifferent, revealing no worry or fear.

Zhou Bingquan, intrigued, tapped his cane that was carved with embossed patterns, his voice giving nothing away, "It's not really a compliment, all true sentiments. After all, in these times everyone bends over backward for mere survival, yet Miss Cheng doesn't seem to care much for such materialistic things. You even rejected the gift I offered you so decisively."

"I'm just an ordinary person, not as untouched by worldly matters as you say, Uncle." Cheng Weiyue knew that since Zhou Jingwei's father had found her, he must also know why she initially chose to stay by Zhou Jingwei's side.

Her voice remained calm, very earnest, "It's just that what Uncle offered is not what I care about."
