A Late-Night Tale in the Capital

Don’t read this!!! There are lots of problems, so don’t come in just to laugh at it (￣∇￣)

I’m going to hide it later. This book has been so embarrassing for me ಥ_ಥ

Xie Wanning: the pampered young lady of the Xie family in Harbor City, radiant and beautiful, the most delicate rose in the city.

Pei Xuyan: the powerful head of a top-tier family in the capital’s elite circles, refined, icy, ruthless, and someone no one dares approach.

An accident brings her crashing into his world.

At a banquet, she walks in high heels and “accidentally” falls into his arms, splashing champagne all over him.

Everyone gasps, and even the air seems to freeze. But she gazes up at him with a lovely, alarmed face, lightly brushing her fingertips over the wine stain on his shirt. Her voice is as soft as cotton: “I’m sorry, Mr. Pei. I didn’t mean to... Maybe I could buy you a new one?”

He looks down at her face, so close to his. His Adam’s apple shifts almost imperceptibly. For the first time in more than twenty years, a woman has made his heart skip a beat.

Late at night on the rooftop, he corners her and grips her wrist, his breath heavy with alcohol, his voice low and husky. “Xie Wanning, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

She just tilts her head back and smiles, lightly tracing his tie with her fingertips as she backs him into a corner. Her breath is sweet as orchids. “Mr. Pei, you’re only just figuring that out?”

He was an emperor high above everyone else, yet he fell for the carefully planned tenderness she had laid out for him, willingly surrendering himself to a love with no way back.

P.S. I wanted to write two people who are both attracted to good looks, first becoming curious about each other and then falling in love at first sight. But what I’ve written may not have turned out that way...
