Mist-Kissed Heartbeats! The Arrogant Boss Loses Control and Becomes Addicted Night After Night

[Fiery, dazzling wild rose vs. cool, chaste, powerful man]

[She pursues him + devoted love + both leads are romantically inexperienced + groveling pursuit + a bittersweet push and pull]

This is how the Xie family sees Jiang Xiwu:

An unloved little deaf girl with no one to rely on, just a dog the Xies brought home to raise.

Yet she’s impossible to tame: arrogant and domineering, she never lets anyone get the better of her. She settles every score and repays every slight.

She never learns her lesson.

And this lowborn girl with a hearing disability is so blindly confident that she doggedly pursues Xie Nanyan, the most eligible young man around.

It’s laughable.

-

Everyone sits back and waits for Jiang Xiwu to make a fool of herself. They’re waiting for her to be humiliated, eyes red, then slink out of the capital with her tail between her legs.

After all, a man as cold and distinguished as Xie Nanyan would never want a cheap woman who throws herself at him.

Especially not a little deaf girl.

Some people really do indulge in delusions, with no idea of their own worth.

-

Later, Jiang Xiwu, with her scarlet lips, argues with Xie Nanyan. Her eyes red, she tosses her hearing aids aside and turns to run.

The usually cool and chaste Xie Nanyan catches up in a few strides, wraps an arm around her slender waist, and pulls her firmly into his embrace. His voice is tender and careful as he coaxes her:

“Baby, I was wrong.”

“My darling is such a good girl. Wu Wu, don’t cry. It breaks my heart.”

His Wu Wu had come to him with a sincere, blazing heart, and Xie Nanyan regretted not falling for her sooner.

Because the truth was,

from the very beginning, she had been an addiction he could never shake.
