The Chronicles of Wan Tang

Synopsis: [Main text concluded] Clear-headed college girl vs. Beijing circle's powerful elite. 8-year age difference.

Xia Qingwan first met Ye Peixiu at a dinner party. Passing by, she overheard several socialites excitedly whispering that Mr. Ye had arrived. Once she entered the room, she immediately recognized him without anyone pointing him out.

Under the glittering crystal chandelier, the tall, composed man slightly lowered his head, listening to his companion speak. His every gesture exuded nobility, elegance, and grace. He possessed an exceptionally handsome face and a well-built physique with broad shoulders and long legs, yet his eyes showed no hint of frivolity, only an aloof tranquility.

Mr. Ye was powerful and inclusive, giving her sincere and tender confessions, standing up for her, introducing her to the world, and handling everything meticulously and thoughtfully, making her fall deeply in love. But between an unspeakably prominent man and an inexperienced female student, it was merely an affair. Xia Qingwan knew early on that they had no future.

Predictably, two years later, when she said she wanted to leave, Ye Peixiu remained silent for a moment before calmly saying, "Fine."

Much later, with time having passed, the high and mighty Mr. Ye pursued her all the way to East Africa, dusty from his travels. In a small apartment in Nairobi, he pulled her close and looked down at her, saying, "I haven't had enough yet."

It was just like when their passion was intense, he would say in a hoarse, languid tone typical of a young master, "Accompanying you to admire flowers and drink tea is my pretense of elegance; I, a vulgar person, want only you." Only then did people realize that the esteemed Mr. Ye had cherished her as a treasure from beginning to end. She was indispensable to him.
