Coaxed by Roses

[Cunning, gentlemanly male seducer vs clear-eyed, independent heiress]

After a disastrous series of blind dates, Jing Yaozhi scoffs. “I like the Ye family’s Third Master, Ye Junci. Everyone else, stay away!”

The man traps her in his arms. “You like me?”

Later, Jing Yaozhi sighs at the man pretending to be hurt in front of her. “If we’re talking about who’s best at seducing people in the capital, no one would dare rank you, Third Master Ye, anywhere but first.”

Later still, Jing Yaozhi realizes that every one of her secret identities is an open book to him. “Third Master, can you read minds or something?”

The man gives a dismissive little laugh.

Everyone sees right through his act: aloof and abstinent CEO in public, devious male seducer in private.

After Jing Yaozhi slaps a two-faced woman following their marriage, everyone accuses her of throwing her weight around.

Ye Junci says, “In that case, let’s all learn from this. Next time, remember to wash your faces first, so you don’t dirty my wife’s hands.”
