Ep1

Today is the tenth anniversary of my marriage to Ryan.

I prepared a candlelight dinner and waited for him to come home from work so we could celebrate together.

But from the driver, I learned that he had gone to his high school reunion today.

“A high school reunion.”

I frowned slightly, vaguely remembering that I had received an invitation as well.

I had gotten an invitation card too, but since I don’t like noisy gatherings, I chose not to go.

Worried that he might drink too much, I put on an extra coat and went to pick him up.

The banquet hall was designed in a traditional Chinese architectural style, the door half-closed, adorned with exquisitely carved patterns.

From a distance, I saw Ryan surrounded by a group of people.

His black shirt was unbuttoned to the second button, the curls on his forehead falling down and partially covering the arrogance and unruliness in his eyes.

He exuded nobility and the bearing of a leader, standing out from the crowd like a crane among chickens—as if such qualities were instinctive to him.

Ever since our school days, he had been the campus heartthrob, admired by countless people. And now, he was an outstanding businessman in the commercial world.

Even after ten years of marriage, my heart still skipped a beat whenever I saw him.

I smiled softly, about to push the door open and walk in, when I heard teasing voices from inside.

“Ryan, you’re really lucky—now you’re successful, and the white rose of University A is your wife.”

“That’s right. Back then, so many people pursued the great beauty Thenia. There were love letters under the girls’ dormitory almost every day.”

“Even Young Master, the so-called campus god, spent over a million trying to win her over, but Beauty Thenia rejected him every time.”

The lively chatter inside brought back those memories for me as well.

I couldn’t help but sigh and blush.

Back then, I liked him without hesitation. My heart simply couldn’t hold anyone else.

Looking back now, perhaps there was only that one time in my life when I loved someone so deeply.

I couldn’t help but anticipate Ryan’s response.

Recently, he had been busy with work and rarely said sweet things to me.

Although I’m quiet and reserved, I still couldn’t avoid feeling a little disappointed inside.

His voice—deeper and warmer than in his youth, tinged with a smile and slightly drunk—rang out:

“A white rose?

It’s a pity she’s already old now.”

The young and beautiful girl sitting beside him frowned and coquettishly patted his arm.

“Boss…”

It seemed she was dissatisfied with his teasing remark.

That girl had milky white skin, and on her wrist she wore a dazzling blue diamond bracelet that accentuated her graceful and pure beauty.

Ryan smiled gently, pulled her into his arms, and patted her head.

“So kind-hearted, are you?”

The girl pushed him away, her face flushed red, then ran out the door.
