[Heiress x Brooding, Scheming Puppy] [Mutual Adoration] [Possessive]
The male lead is insanely jealous. Early on, he has no claim on her and gets so worked up over his secret jealousy that he nearly drives himself crazy. Later, he shamelessly begs the heroine to show him some love.
A little angst for the male lead at first, then lots and lots of sweetness.
“Have someone deliver what Miss Shen asked for.”
“Anyone who’s spoken ill of her recently, have them all dragged in and their tongues cut out.”
Pei Yan gave his orders nonchalantly, his long fingers tapping lightly on the table.
His subordinate asked cautiously, “And what about the people who say Miss Shen and the Fourth Prince make a perfect match?”
Pei Yan looked up, his gaze cold as ice.
“Kill them,” he said blandly. “Let them see on their way to the underworld who really makes a perfect match with whom.”
“…”
“Lingyi.”
As Shen Zhao stepped into the room, a pair of hands seized hers.
Pei Yan gripped her wrist. His alluring face was full of wounded indignation as he accused her, “You looked at Pei Xingjian for a full two minutes today.”
Shen Zhao pressed her aching temples. She had just finished handling a mountain of work and had no energy left to deal with this spoiled prince.
“I was observing his reaction.” She freed one hand and, with practiced ease, stroked Pei Yan’s head. Her voice held helpless indulgence. “Stop being silly. From now on, I’ll only look at you.”
Pei Yan gazed at her for a moment, as if checking whether she meant it, then finally curved his lips in satisfaction.
By day, he was the most doted-on Ninth Prince of the Sheng Dynasty, ruthless and calculating, never showing mercy in anything he did.
In private, he was an immature brat who got jealous and threw unreasonable tantrums.
What?
He had another identity too…?
