[Two equally matched leads | cohabitation and romantic tension | mature CEO x dormant demonic master] (Note: The male lead is a demonic master from a martial arts world, not a cultivation world.)
Ye Qingcheng, CEO of a hundred-billion-yuan corporation, was just about to set off to rescue someone when an ancient man in a black robe dropped from the sky and kissed her by force.
Furious at having her first kiss stolen, she was forced to strike a deal with him.
After their first deal was done, the man had the nerve to demand that they live together.
"I'll stay downstairs from you. I can protect you better that way, and I won't use my mental powers to pry into your privacy," he said with complete sincerity.
Ye Qingcheng gritted her teeth. "...The guest room on the east side of the first floor. Go there yourself."
She thought she'd just have to put up with him, but then...
When her cousin tried to seize control, he flicked his sleeve and sent eight bodyguards flying.
When a scumbag kept pestering her, he struck his pressure points from a distance and left him hanging upside down all night.
When an assassin came after her, he caught a bullet with his bare hand. "Do you want him left in one piece, or barely alive?"
Ye Qingcheng: "Keep him alive so we can question him."
"Fine." He promptly dislocated the man's arm.
Everyone in business knew that a vicious man in a suit had appeared at President Ye's side, someone whose ruthlessness surpassed even the King of Hell's.
Ye Qingcheng sneered. A vicious man? He lived at her place for free, couldn't figure out the shower, and kept showing up on the dot to remind her, "President Ye, it's time for treatment. Kiss."
But whenever danger came, he was always the one standing in front of her.
Until his demonic seed ran wild while protecting her, and he stubbornly held up a wall of true energy without backing down. Ye Qingcheng sent him her Dao essence, her heart softening. "Li Xingyun, what are you really after?"
His eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse, he said, "You."
Her heart skipped a beat.
"...Your Dao essence."
"You paused just now."
"I did no such thing."
