The Fake Heiress Returns, and Her Childhood-Friend CEO Coaxes Her Step by Step

[Two strong leads * a clear-headed, sly little fairy * a rich, scheming, sharp-tongued man] [Childhood sweethearts * reunion after a long separation * bittersweet tension] [If he can’t get his fix, he loses it and forces his way] The woman softened her voice and pleaded, “I wasn’t trying to lead you on. Calm down. You’re scaring me.” She wasn’t leading him on? Hah. Was he not even good enough to be a fish on her hook? So he wasn’t even qualified to be her backup option? Even if she ended this relationship, she still wouldn’t choose him? The thought made the agitation and frustration in Shen Zhao’s heart intensify.

She needed to make things clear to him. “When I left Yanjing and started dating young, I had already given up on you completely.” She had given up on him again and again. Jiang Yue was every man’s beloved little sister. Only he knew she was a heartless woman who climbed the ladder by relying on men, so he targeted her at every turn, until the DNA report arrived... The sky came crashing down. He made her go through eighty-one trials to reach his door, but she chose not to go in.
