All she wanted was a second chance in happiness. She had been divorced for two years now and has forgotten about the idea of finding another man. But destiny is playing a cute joke on her to let her met him.

He is successful and powerful and full of distrust on women.

Until he met her.

After that one fateful encounter, are they destined to be together forever? Is God of happiness finally bestowing this tiny spring water to both of them?

ps: I only write happy ending stories. This is 1v1, with a little drama here and there. But those drama only served a purpose to strengthen their relationship. Female lead here is not perfect at all. She is insecure, full of flaws and broken. Male lead is gorgeous and charming as usual. But somehow, they complete each other.

There will be no pitiful weak Cinderella stories here, no white lotus and no almighty CEO that rule the country.

I am portraying normal average people in society. So if this is not your cup of tea, feel free to move on :)

While thinking, she unconsciously gnawed on her lower lip.

"Don't keep biting your lip like that," Li Xiqing told her, "the weather is getting colder, and your skin is getting drier too. Don't hurt your lips."

Her lips slowly curved up, "I put on some lip balm every day, don't worry," and then she stuck out her tongue to tease him.

"So uh, Xiqing," she started to say, "what should I call Mandy?"

She paused, and then before Li Xiqing could answer her, Shao Yan quickly continued. "I mean, do I just call her 'Sis' or just 'Mandy' or is there any other name that I should address her by?"

Owe you something
