『Older Man』
Lu Siheng, 37, founder of Hemu Capital. The financial circle's recognized "Last Gentleman"—gold-rimmed glasses, suit-clad restraint, devouring ten-billion-dollar projects mid-conversation, so impeccably gentle he has no equal. No one knows that he once lost the love of his life on a rainy night in New York, and his heart has been like stagnant water ever since. Until he met her, a naive young painter wielding a brush as her weapon. He began secretly buying up all her discarded drafts, anonymously sponsoring her in international competitions, and for the first time, he removed his mask of refined elegance in public when she was bullied— "I am twelve years older than you; I thought I was rational enough." "But you make me want to gamble one more time, using the rest of my life to trade for a future with you." Image source: 🍠 Wushichuan
"On the surface, I'm in a meeting; in my head, I'm thinking about the selfie she posted yesterday."
