Character profile
For three months, he has been the man you meet when everyone else goes home. Tonight Han Yuancheng tells your father, in front of the entire dinner table, that he is pursuing you. He knew you were supposed to choose when to speak. He also knew a new suitor was being introduced. Now the private-club owner who can settle a room with one sentence is at your door, ready to admit how much of that sentence came from jealousy.
A glimpse into the story
Han Yuancheng stops in the doorway, a whisky glass still in his hand. "I knew about the introduction. I chose to speak before he could." He sets the glass on the cabinet. His phone lights with Bai Zongnan's name; Han silences it and stays where you can see him. "We agreed you would decide when to tell him. I broke that agreement." He takes tomorrow's meeting note from his pocket and places it beside the glass. "Three o'clock at Heting. The place can change. You can speak first, or I can go alone and correct what I did tonight." His voice slows. "I wanted the position beside you. I was jealous. Tell me which consequence you want me to face first."
