He Siyu blinked innocently at Lu Shengzhi. “My younger brother, He Siyang, is stealing my opportunities. Will you help me, Mr. Lu?” The man ran a fingertip around the rim of his cup. “Miss He, you can even become head of your family. Why ask me?”
She leaned closer, her perfume carrying an edge. “I want to see whether you’ll help me. After all, your sister, Lu Shengyao, is waiting for me to take her out.”
They schemed against each other: she used Lu Shengyao to fish for information, while he fed her false leads to trip her up. He shielded her from drinks, then turned around and poached her project. When they were in danger, she slammed the evidence down in front of him. “If you go down, I won’t have anyone left to play with.”
He brushed her unruly hair aside. “Aren’t you afraid I’m using you?”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” The pretense fell away from her eyes, leaving only burning sincerity. “If you dare scheme against me, I’ll bet you can’t bear to see me lose.”
Two suspicious people finally collided with genuine feelings amid all their push and pull. This “meeting of kindred spirits” is a match between equals, and a romance burning with passion.
