Spoiled young heiress × calculating playboy
[Not-quite-siblings + heroine puts herself first + hero’s devotion comes first + intense push and pull]
Everyone in the city envied the Cheng family’s beloved heiress. She took her mother’s surname and was treated like a princess, with Cheng Rongyu always there to indulge her every whim.
On an undisclosed night,
“I know everything about you.” Cheng Rongyu’s gaze was unreadable.
“Didn’t I tell you today? He can help you, but so can I, your big brother. Why look farther afield, little sister?”
Afterward, he acted as if his loss of composure had been nothing more than harmless teasing between family members.
If that’s how it is, big brother, you’d better dare to do it again next time.
He chuckled to himself, tenderness almost spilling from his eyes.
His little Xiangyi was truly... truly adorable.
Cheng Rongyu was four years older than Leng Xiangyi. He had known the truth about their relationship for a long time, and knew even better that his feelings for her had long since crossed the line.
In public, he played around with her and acted like the witty older brother she adored. In private, he was possessive and controlling.
He dealt with anyone who got close to her and kept tabs on her social life. Afraid she’d catch on, and even more afraid she’d reject him, he stopped at nothing to test her.
He would do whatever it took to make her choose him willingly. And if that didn’t work, what was wrong with using a few tricks?
She had always known he wasn’t her biological brother, yet she still called him that.
As his favoritism grew, he treasured even her little tantrums. Leng Xiangyi knew exactly what was going on.
Proud and willful, she played the innocent little sister, seeking a love that would last forever, not one that would expire.
She enjoyed his secret affection without a trace of guilt.
She had never been a good person, and Cheng Rongyu was the one who protected her.
Cheng Rongyu, however, said, “She’ll reject me even as she calls my name when she needs me most. So why shouldn’t I take my time and win her over?”
