[Reunion After Years Apart + Mending a Broken Relationship + Long-Planned Schemes + Making Amends Before It’s Too Late]
[A cocky, sharp-tongued, secretly passionate guy pretending to be unbothered vs. a master flirt who doesn’t realize he’s reeling in Wen Taigong]
[Blurb 1]: Wen Yan looked up and met his eyes. The air froze for a few seconds. Feigning composure, she spoke to him: “Was what I said not true?”
Hearing her answer, Xu Zhiche furrowed his brows in displeasure. His grip on her wrist gradually loosened, and he challenged her in disbelief: “You’re treating me like some backup option for a flirtation?”
…
Xu Zhiche gazed at her parted red lips. The hand hanging by his trouser leg clenched abruptly, and the veins on his arm and the back of his hand stood out as her brazen teasing revealed his true feelings. His long lashes fluttered, concealing the emotions surging beneath his eyes.
In this ambiguous game, she held all the cards.
Xu Zhiche’s thin ears turned scarlet, burning like fire and yet looking especially bashful. His breathing grew heavier, his voice husky and low: “A Yan… Break up with him. This time, let me be the one to pursue you, okay?”
[Blurb 2]: Xu Zhiche lowered his dark lashes. His voice was casual and magnetic, with a pointed hint beneath his words: “Why get a tattoo and add my contact info if you don’t have a reason? Just for fun? Or have you not come up with an excuse to flirt with me yet? Hoping to pick up where we left off?”
He gave a meaningful, derisive snort and, not giving her a chance to deny it outright, added self-assuredly: “A lot of girls have been pursuing me lately. If you’re planning to chase me, I’ll make an exception for you since we used to sit together.”
Wen Yan: “…”
A friendly reminder: She pursues him in the first half; in the second, he goes through hell trying to win her back. But it’s not a typical “hellish pursuit to win back his wife.”
