Su Wan let out a self-deprecating laugh. As she laughed, tears gradually welled up in her eyes.
She and Pei Munian weren’t originally like this. Originally… They had also gotten along extremely well.
She remembered the first time she met Pei Munian was at the freshmen opening ceremony. At that time, Pei Munian took the stage to give a speech as the freshman representative.
A handsome boy dressed in a white shirt and black trousers stood there looking dignified. Facing everyone, his lips opened and closed. His low, magnetic voice touched everyone’s hearts.
Su Wanwan had never believed in love at first sight and felt that it was nothing but nonsense. Who could be so sure that they liked someone at first glance?
However, the moment she saw Pei Munian, her heart thumped loudly and soared. Everybody else in the room faded into nothingness and the entire world was only left with her and him on the stage.
It turned out that there really was such a thing as love at first sight in this world.
It turned out that idol drama plots could really happen in reality.
Just like how Xiangqin met her true love, Jiang Zhishu, at her school’s opening ceremony, she, Su Wanwan, met her true love, Pei Munian, at her school opening ceremony.
She fell in love with him at first sight, and her heart pounded in excitement.
Su Wanwan had always been beautiful since she was a child. She had a slender, delicate figure, her skin was as bright as white porcelain, and her large eyes were jet-black and full of life. Hence, she was never lacking in suitors. However, she had never fallen for anyone except him.
Su Wanwan had always been a woman of action. Once she set a target, she would actively take action.
At that time, Pei Munian had many suitors. After all, he was handsome and had a good family background. Although he was rather aloof, he appeared dignified and unobtainable which increased people’s desire to pounce on him.
Su Wanwan could be considered his most enthusiastic and persistent suitor. Despite all the trials and hardships, she persevered relentlessly. While trying to curry Prince Charming’s favor on one end, she also got rid of all his suitors.
Amongst them, Xi Zhiwei was her number one rival and a formidable one at that.
Xi Zhiwei was different from Pei Munian’s other suitors. She was the daughter of the Pei Family’s butler and grew up with Pei Munian as his childhood friend. As the saying went, “She who is in a favorable position gets to enjoy special benefits”. Xi Zhiwei had time and geographical and social conditions all on her side. On the other hand, Su Wanwan had absolutely nothing.
But who was Su Wanwan? Even without the right time, place, or conditions, she could create the perfect opportunity. So what if she was one step behind? Pei Munian was still hers!
She created many opportunities to run into him, looked into his class schedule, and followed him to class every day. She even asked about his circle of friends in an attempt to win him over indirectly
She didn’t expect that after working so hard for a month, Pei Munian would only know of her existence but not her name.
Su Wanwan was extremely frustrated, but her courage grew along with her frustration.
As the saying went, “When a man chases after a woman, it’s like there’s a mountain between them. When a woman chases after a man, there’s nothing but cloth between them.” If Xiangqin could win Zhishu over, she, Su Wanwan, could definitely win Pei Munian over!
In the end, she really managed to get with Pei Munian. She thought she had triumphed. She didn’t expect that right from the start, her love was just a joke.

The next day.
When Su Wanwan came downstairs, Su Zhenhua was sitting at the dining table and reading the newspaper. She walked over and greeted him before pulling out a chair and sitting down.
The maid served her breakfast.
Su Wanyan picked up her knife and fork and ate leisurely.
Su Zhenhua looked up from the newspaper. He glanced over at Su Wanwan and said, “Wanwan, free up your schedule today and accompany Grandpa to meet someone.”
