Hiding a Tender Heart

Blurb One: His friend Shen Lin’s blind date was the very person he had secretly loved for years. He declared fiercely, “I like Hua Ling. I’m going to win her over.” Everyone scoffed and tried to talk him out of it. “Of all people, why chase Hua Ling? Don’t you know what she’s like?” “She’s the daughter of a mistress, notorious for all the wrong reasons. With so many women around, why her?” Sheng Chenjing, who had been silent until then, neither thought Shen Lin had a chance with Hua Ling nor disagreed with everyone’s opinion of her. Blurb Two: Two months later, a few young men gathered together. Someone teased, “I never thought Hua Ling would be so capable. She actually turned down our Shen Lin.” “We really underestimated her!” Sheng Chenjing, seated in the middle, took a sip of wine, anger smoldering in his deep eyes. Shen Lin was the first to notice something was off. “Brother Jing, is something wrong?” Sheng Chenjing set down his glass and looked up disdainfully. “Watch what you say from now on.” Everyone froze and exchanged glances. Sheng Chenjing smiled coldly. “Hua Ling is my woman, your sister-in-law. And from this moment on, I don’t want to hear another word about anything else.” Shen Lin couldn’t believe it. “Brother Jing, did she accept your advances?” Sheng Chenjing replied coolly, “I’m still pursuing her.” Reading guide: No falling-out between brothers.
