[BG, devoted 1v1 romance + a little coercion later on + instinctive attraction + emotional push and pull + five-year age gap + no melodramatic twists]
Gentle, easygoing office worker × languid, world-weary big shot
As soon as she graduated, Ning Yun was urged to return to Hong Kong City to inherit her mother’s business, and ended up as an unremarkable household servant.
The villa was home to a temperamental Mr. Nie.
Their first meeting went badly.
Nie Huaizheng’s voice was icy, and every word came with a barb. He looked down at her with undisguised disdain.
“New here? They really will hire just about anyone these days.”
Ning Yun: “?”
When he learned that she was close to several members of the Nie family, he became convinced she had ulterior motives and deliberately tried to intimidate her more than once.
Ning Yun had already been intimidated by him. Now she avoided him even more, fleeing as if she’d seen a ghost whenever he appeared.
Everyone at the villa agreed on Ning Yun: she was gentle, easy to get along with, and always smiling.
Nie Huaizheng disagreed.
Whenever he was around, she never even looked him in the eye. He had never seen the supposedly heartfelt smile she gave others.
She had friendly ways of addressing everyone else, but she still called him “Mr. Nie,” every single time, distant and polite.
Ning Yun had been feeling a little troubled lately. Maybe it was because she was so exhausted from work, but she always felt that a pair of eyes was watching her every move from behind.
Fortunately, whenever this unnerving feeling came over her, Nie Huaizheng was nearby.
Perhaps she felt safe with him beside her because, in her eyes, he was more terrifying than anything else?
Forced love, but the wife is way too emotionally stable.
I’m hopeless at writing blurbs, so please head to the main story~
