[The Hunt] [Push and Pull to the Limit] [Top Conglomerate] [Guiding Lover] [HE]
In the dark, Jiang Zhi pinned her against the window. His scorching breath brushed her ear. "I like you~"
Fu Chengyan suddenly stole a kiss when she was sowing seeds, then gazed at her pitifully. "Choose me, okay?"
Beneath the sunset, Bo Jinxiu tucked a wildflower into her hair and asked softly, "Shengsheng, would you like a live-in son-in-law?"
These were the three rich young men Ning Sheng had saved. She thought she had simply done a good deed, never realizing she had become the prize in their wager.
---"Whoever wins her first gets that plot of land in the western district."
Hurt by the truth, she left, only to stumble into the arms of a strange man.
That night, drugged, she clung to him and refused to let go, begging for kisses again and again like a drowning person grasping at a log.
As steam clouded the glass in the bathroom, his fingers brushed the birthmark on her chest. His voice was low and husky. "Are you sure you don't know me?"
Ning Sheng was limp with exhaustion, clutching his shoulder. She couldn't even form a complete sentence.
The man's name was Qin Xiao. He was the heir to a top conglomerate and the person no one in the capital dared to offend. Cool and restrained, he kept women at a distance, yet made an exception for her.
He helped her fight off the drug's effects, spending the entire night memorizing every inch of warmth in her body.
When the three men who had once toyed with her knelt before her and begged forgiveness, Ning Sheng finally understood: some people treat love like a wager, while others spend a lifetime cherishing one person's name.

At first, everyone in the capital's social circles said Ning Sheng was just a country girl, and that Ninth Master Qin was merely after a bit of novelty.
Then someone saw Qin Xiao crouched beside the car, putting Ning Sheng's shoes on for her. His voice was barely above a whisper, tender as a coaxing murmur, almost a plea. "Be good, don't be mad... Next time, I'll be gentler."
