After We Reunited, Mr. Shen Kept Trying to Kill Me

The two most powerful families in S City are joining forces through marriage, and the media is abuzz. One day, Rou Jia returns to the Shen family home with her boyfriend, Shen Yan, only to find the man she thought she’d never have another chance to see again. When they meet again, Shen Xu is in his loungewear, reclining lazily on the sofa. He speaks with a teasing smile: “Miss Rou, next time you visit, don’t forget to bring your uncle here a more valuable gift. Let this poor boy broaden his horizons.” In the bathroom, Shen Xu corners her against the door and kisses her fiercely and domineeringly. Rou Jia asks coldly, “Shen Xu, what do you mean by this?” The man nips at her ear and murmurs, each word dripping with innuendo, “Nothing in particular. I just want to find out what it feels like to kiss the eldest daughter of the Rou family.” “Slap!” A sharp sound rings out as Shen Xu’s face is knocked to the side. He licks the trace of blood at the corner of his mouth and curls his lips into a wicked smile. “If one slap earns me a kiss from Miss Rou, then if I take a few more, could I spend the night with you?” Reunited lovers feel like strangers from another lifetime. The poor boy from years ago has become the doted-on younger son of Old Master Shen, the current head of the Shen Group, and her boyfriend’s uncle. Misunderstandings and resentment pile up one after another. Once the truth comes out, President Shen begins his long journey to win her back. Rou Jia stands by the window, deftly pinches out the cigarette between her fingers, and crooks a finger at the man opposite her. “I hear President Shen is quite the big shot?” At once, Shen Xu shakes his head and smiles ingratiatingly. “Not at all, honey. I was just trying to get your attention.” [Rekindled romance + angst before sweetness + equally matched male and female leads]
