Chapter 1 - 001: Return to the country after four years
The day Ning Guiwan returned to the country, Quan Yu was the one who picked her up.
At that moment, she stood by the car door, stunned for several seconds. She was wholly unprepared that the "someone" Grandmother Quan had said would pick her up would be the old lady’s own son, Quan Yu, a man whose time was incredibly precious.
Quan Yu disliked her; she’d known that for four years.
It wasn’t until the driver reminded her to get in that Ning Guiwan lifted her red lips to greet him. "Thank you, Uncle Yu, for taking time out of your busy schedule to pick me up."
The man, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them. As his gaze swept over Ning Guiwan, she had already lowered hers. His eyes were deep and unreadable.
"Get in."
The adult male voice was deep and resonant, pleasant to the ear, yet unfeeling.
Ning Guiwan still smiled, gathering her dress as she got into the car.
Four years apart, and his attitude towards her seemed even worse.
About an hour later, the car drove into an imposing mansion in the city center. Ning Guiwan immediately spotted Grandmother Quan in the courtyard, leaning on a cane and looking out with eager anticipation.
