   This tycoon's article is top notch! The cold and abstinent x is flirtatious and sweet, and the extreme pulling is so addictive. Family members, who knows the pain of book shortage! But don't panic, today I dug up a treasure romance novel - "Abstinence Warning: Mr. Li is so crazy about love that he doesn't flirt with you". After reading it, I will become a god on the spot. I must give it to you! The abstinent tyrant x sweetly seduces Qingmei, and the setting is super sexy. The male protagonist Li Xiu is a perfect flower of the mountains, with a cold appearance and a cold temperament. He is a man who makes waves in the shopping mall and has ruthless methods. He is a terrifying existence, but he has been abstinent for half his life, as if everything in the world is difficult for him to detect. The heroine, Wen Er Er, lives up to her name, sweet and flirtatious. She is a complete little pervert. The key is that she is also a coward. The contrast is full of cuteness. The two childhood sweethearts reunited after many years apart. This setting makes pink bubbles pop up just thinking about it! Extreme pulling, over-the-top sweetness. After the two reunited, one loves to be a teacher, a brother, and a husband, and wants to protect the heroine under his wings; the other is only lustful and cowardly, facing the strong approach of the male protagonist, shy to avoid it, but at the same time can't help being moved. "Mr. Li, please restrain yourself." "Kiss me and I'll restrain myself." This simple conversation fully heightened the ambiguous atmosphere. Who knows, my family! This extreme stretch was sweeter than eating ten tons of sugar, and my aunt laughed the whole time. Marry first, then fall in love, and go in both directions. The latter two marry first, then fall in love, and their relationship lines are absolutely perfect. Although Li Xuan appears to be cold and ascetic, he has actually been deeply in love with Wen Er'er for a long time, and he can break all his principles for her. Wen Er'er also got along with each other, and gradually discovered Li Xuan's deep love hidden under the iceberg surface. The two went in both directions to redeem each other. The day after the kitten was brought back, Wen Er'er found out that she was pregnant. She happily told Li Xiu. After learning the news, Li Xiu's eyes turned red and his voice choked up. His cautious and joyful look was so touching! This novel really combines the advantages of all romance novels. The plot is compact and not procrastinating, the characters are full and three-dimensional, and the sweet pet plot is even more addictive. If you also like abstinent bosses and love stories about childhood sweethearts and long-lost reunions, don't miss "Abstinence Warning: Mr. Li has a brain in love, and he won't flirt with you". Read it in one sitting and you will definitely be immersed in this sweet love and unable to extricate yourself!
