Tempting Mr. Gu

Three years ago, Jiang Lichu left without a word and went overseas.

All she left Gu Siyan was a cold breakup text and a city full of mockery. Everyone said the Gu family's heir had been dumped and was still waiting like a fool.

Three years later, Jiang Lichu returned in triumph, an internationally acclaimed artist in high demand.

On the night of her first exhibition, amid the glittering crowd, she found herself caught in a pair of deep, wolfish eyes.

Gu Siyan stood there in a tailored suit, leisurely swirling his wineglass, his gaze looking ready to devour her whole.

Everyone thought Gu Siyan would take revenge, imprison her, and make her beg for mercy.

But this aloof scion, revered like a living Buddha in the capital's elite circles, quietly became her biggest patron, always there to catch her whenever she faltered.

Jiang Lichu tried to run, but he cornered her in the studio.

Bracing one hand against the wall, his gaze dark, the man spoke with a barely restrained tremor in his voice:

“Letting you leave without a word back then was my fault. But things are different now, ”

“Jiang Lichu, your brush can paint only me, and you can belong only to me.”

During an interview, a reporter asked Gu Siyan, “Mr. Gu, I hear you waited three years for Miss Jiang?”

Gu Siyan raised an eyebrow and glanced at the woman beside him, who was secretly pinching his palm. He smiled faintly.

“That's right. I was waiting for her to come back and stamp me as hers.”
