Many children, many blessings; the story begins with revenge against the beautiful boss.

Zeng Gang finally managed to shake off Pang Lijuan and chased after her out of the restaurant, panting.

At a glance, you can see the black Audi A8L parked steadily on the side of the road, and Cao Kun is gentlemanly opening the car door for Yue Xin.

He curled his lip, his heart filled with disdain:

"Tch, all he does is drive an Audi A8. What's he trying to act all high and mighty about? I really don't know what Yue Xin saw in him."

……

Inside the Audi.

Cao Kun gripped the steering wheel, his gaze fixed intently on the traffic ahead.

"Where are you taking me?" Yue Xin asked softly, turning her head to the side.

"Let's go to a place...a place I've wanted to take you to for over ten years."

Before long, the vehicle drove out of the city and into the suburbs.

The night was deep, and the mountain wind howled.

Ahead, a green mountain shrouded in moonlight, serene and vast.

This mountain is only a little over 800 meters high and is a popular spot for fitness enthusiasts.

The mountain road is gentle and has a walking trail, or you can drive up directly.

Upon reaching the mountaintop, Cao Kun turned off the engine and opened the car door.

The two got out of the car and stood by the railing of the observation deck.

The entire night view of Jinning is spread out before your eyes, with the city lights twinkling like stars, shimmering and colorful.

Cao Kun leaned against the railing, gazing at the myriad lights of Jinning, his expression gradually drifting away.

Yue Xin, standing to the side, also stared intently at Jin Ning, whose lights were brightly lit down the mountain, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long silence, Cao Kun slowly spoke: "That year, right here, I held my acceptance letter from Chang Teng University, ready to confess my feelings to you."

Yue Xin was slightly moved upon hearing this.

She knew the rest of the story, of course. She told Cao Kun first that she had received an acceptance letter from Stanford University in the United States and was preparing to study abroad. She watched as the boy's face changed color again and again, until finally he lost all color and fell silent.

At that time, she had no idea how much harm she had caused the boy in front of her.

He was so engrossed in his joy at going abroad that he completely disregarded Cao Kun's thoughts.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The boy from back then has grown up into a handsome man and brought her here again.

"I'm sorry, back then I..." Yue Xin began slowly.

Cao Kun shook his head and gently pressed his index finger against her lips.

"It's all in the past," he said.

More than a decade has passed, and Cao Kun is no longer the innocent young man he once was.

"I brought you here to fulfill a promise I made fifteen years ago."

"A promise?" Yue Xin asked, slightly puzzled.

"Yes, fifteen years ago, I told myself that one day I would make something of myself and come back to see you."

"I've done it now."

Yue Xin was slightly taken aback, and she looked Cao Kun up and down.

She was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Cao Kun's life had undergone such a dramatic change in the past fifteen years.

Yue Xin spent fifteen years in the upper circles of the United States and Shanghai, so of course she can tell that Cao Kun's clothes are all top brands.

The Patek Philippe watch he was wearing alone was enough to easily buy Zeng Gang's hotel.

Cao Kun stepped forward, looking intently at her: "I'm here today to fulfill a wish I made fifteen years ago."

"You just need to tell me whether you're willing or not."

Yue Xin felt somewhat helpless; many things had happened to her over the years.

After leaving Cao Kun, she once thought she had found true happiness.

A male art student at Stanford University launched a fierce pursuit of her.

The two families were well-matched, and the man understood her like a close sister, unlike Cao Kun, who was a typical straight man.

Yue Xin quickly succumbed to her charm and fell in love.

But who knew that after getting married, he would find out that his husband was gay!

He only dated her to cover up his gay identity and to appease his family.

Yue Xin tried to salvage the relationship, but all her efforts were in vain.

Later, as the United States became more tolerant of homosexuality, that person simply let go of his inhibitions and came out openly.

Unable to bear the cold looks from others, Yue Xin gave up her high-paying job in the United States and chose to return to China to work hard in Shanghai.

A few years later, a vacancy for deputy bank manager appeared in Jinning. Considering that her parents were getting old, Yue Xin returned to her hometown.

Looking into Cao Kun's rather aggressive gaze, she felt a strange flutter in her heart.

His eyes were like those of a hungry wolf, ready to devour her, this little white rabbit, alive.

How long has it been since I've seen that kind of look in someone's eyes? Ten years? Fifteen years?

They were so close that they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.

Yue Xin was no naive newcomer; she knew what she would face if she agreed.

My heart was pounding like a drum.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes..." Cao Kun said after waiting a moment.

"I—uh-uh—"

Just as Yue Xin opened her mouth, wanting to say something, Cao Kun, too lazy to wait any longer, directly sealed her lips with a kiss.

After a long while, Yue Xin took deep breaths, her face flushed, and gently patted Cao Kun's chest.

Her eyes were alluring, glistening with moisture.

Cao Kun looked surprised: Judging from her behavior, she seems to be a seasoned player in love?

He shook his head, putting these things out of his mind. He figured he could figure things out later if he had to.

Cao Kun pulled Yue Xin back to the back seat of the Audi A8L.

Looking into his intensely aggressive eyes, Yue Xin felt a surge of desire, but she still struggled to say, "No...not here..."

Cao Kun shook his head, staring into her eyes. "I think this place is excellent."

Seeing Cao Kun's resolute expression, Yue Xin had a premonition that she was probably going to die here...

At his insistence, the two got back into the car.

Outside the car, the night sky over Jinning was dazzling, with stars twinkling.

The mountain wind blew at night, whistling and making the shadows of the trees sway and rustle.

Inside the car was his high school crush. Thinking back to those days, Cao Kun had to muster up a lot of courage just to talk to her.

But now...

He couldn't help but marvel at the power of time and the wondrous connections between all things in the world.

Fortunately, Yue Xin seems unaffected by time; her skin is smooth as cream and delicate as a porcelain dollop.

It's a double treat for both the eyes and the touch.

Cao Kun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Yue Xin lowered her beautiful eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Will you... be good to me?"

Cao Kun smiled slightly: "Don't worry, of course..."
