So What If I Fish Them Out?

A pretty boy with a temper × a brooding, gloomy top

More than anything, He Qingyi wanted to have lots of money and then coyly say, in a high-pitched voice:

“I don’t want lots and lots of money. I want lots and lots of love.”

There were plenty of people around him willing to make that scene happen. Some practically threw themselves at him, with “I’d be happy to let you take advantage of me” written all over their faces.

But that still wasn’t enough.

Not for him.

He searched high and low, picking and choosing, until he hooked a big fish: Xie Zhiyan.

His wish came true.

Everyone in their circle said Xie Zhiyan had been blinded by beauty, keeping such a shallow, brainless little plaything by his side. In private, they even placed bets on when he’d come to his senses and dump He Qingyi.

But no one expected He Qingyi to be the one who walked away.

-

A rainy night. Outside a bookstore. A Maybach.

Xie Zhiyan asked him why he had left.

He Qingyi: “...”

Because I’m not just messing around with an online friend. I really do want lots of money and lots of love, damn it!

#Why Is My Nemesis Like This?

Xu Nuo’s family company was struggling with cash flow. He searched everywhere for help without success, and bankruptcy seemed inevitable. Then, at this critical moment, Zhou Songyan came calling and offered to help the Xu family through the crisis, on the condition that they marry.

But everyone knew that Zhou Songyan couldn’t stand him.

After they married, Zhou’s attitude became even harder to read. Sometimes he was gentle and warm, sometimes icy cold, keeping Xu at arm’s length and shifting between sunny and stormy moods.

Still, no matter how bad his mood was, he never took it out on Xu Nuo.

One late night, after they’d both gotten drunk, Xu finally worked up the courage to ask what was on his mind.

Their parents had cut ties years ago over business matters, so it would have made sense for Zhou Songyan to take his anger out on him. But Xu couldn’t make sense of what Zhou was doing.

Unable to hide his drunkenness, Zhou listened as Xu brought up their parents’ feud. He looked utterly dismissive and said he didn’t care about it at all.

Xu Nuo was baffled. “Then why do you hate me?”

Zhou Songyan gazed at him with dark eyes for a long time. “...I hate you for abandoning me.”
