His right hand touched her left upper arm, and then started to slide down to her wrist.

"In case you haven't noticed.." he started to say.

She had stiffened up, started from his initial touch.

"I'm officially pursuing you."

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 :)

I Deserve a Second Chance

In front of her, the appetizer was already placed on a small plate, along with a small card that was describing their menu for tonight.

"Quail salad - shredded barbecued quail meat with Indonesian spices served over a bed of fresh green salad, oranges, walnuts and cheese," She placed the card back to the side and then looked up at him, "Interesting! Shall we start now?"

He nodded while placing a napkin over his lap, "Sure, let's eat."

The couple started to enjoy their meal with small chats. Every now and then, Li Xiqing would point outside the glass and tell her the name of the places that they had visited the past two weeks.

After the appetizer was done, Marco inconspicuously came to their table to clean the plates. A moment later, he came over with another two plates in his hands to serve the starter.

"Kataifi king prawn served with a side of Singapore chili crab dipping sauce. Please enjoy!"
