Luring Him Step by Step: His Possession

【Rekindled romance / stealing someone else's partner / intense push and pull】 That year, her family was destroyed and he moved to a foreign country. She thought their story would end with flowers blooming in different places, forever separated by distance. Then, seven years later, in an ancient water town, amid fishing boats and glowing lanterns, the man who had thrown her off balance walked through the door at a gathering hosted by her current boyfriend. Jiang Yanqi put an arm around her and introduced him warmly. “Queque, this is my college buddy, Fu Mingting.” The man leaned against the doorway, his gaze burning as he calmly looked her over from head to toe.

What about you?” Back then, the young man had frowned at her for a long time before finally replying, “I'm not capable of feelings.” But later, on the rain-soaked night that would decide their fate, he had pleaded with her, eyes red and voice broken. “Just say the word and I won't leave...
