Dyeing Spring [The Second Male Lead Takes the Lead]

[Second Male Lead Takes the Lead | Stealing Someone's Partner]

[Hopeless Romantic Pretend Playboy vs. Sweet Girl with a Hidden Dark Side]

Everyone in Jing City knows that Young Master Fu keeps a canary, spoiling her like a treasure in the palm of his hand.

Only Ling Xiao knows she's nothing more than a stand-in for Fu Shiqing's first love.

She thought that as long as she stayed by his side, she could eventually thaw that iceberg.

But the person in question just had to return to the country at this exact moment...

The moment Fu Shiqing got the news, he rushed off to the airport. Ling Xiao was the one he left behind.

In the bitter winter cold, she sat shivering in a backless dress, forcing herself to endure the freezing temperatures at a bus stop.

"Hey, did the cold freeze your brain?" The familiar sarcastic voice let her guess who it was right away.

Fu Shiqing's friend, Ji Anhe, was a playboy too.

"What do you want?" She wasn't in the mood to deal with him.

"I had to come all the way down here, and all the heat's escaped from the car." Ji Anhe glanced at Ling Xiao's bright red, frozen hands. "Get in, quick. If we wait any longer, I'll run out of gas."

Once in the car, Ling Xiao texted Fu Shiqing to break up, then blocked him and deleted his contact in one go.

"Don't be sad. There are still good men out there. I'm the kind who takes love seriously." When she looked his way, Ji Anhe hurriedly stopped snooping at her phone and energetically pitched himself.

"But I want something physical." Her lipstick was a little smudged, but it did nothing to dull her beauty. If anything, it made her even more alluring.

Ling Xiao grabbed Ji Anhe by the tie and kissed him. A red mark appeared at his neck, and spring bloomed between them.

Ji Anhe had been walking on air lately. Anyone could tell he was in a relationship, and Fu Shiqing was no exception.

"Now that you're dating someone, settle down. Don't end up like me."

"Of course." Ji Anhe agreed, but as soon as he left, he tossed the coat Fu Shiqing had just touched onto the back seat.

Ugh, disgusting.

After he left, Fu Shiqing punched the sofa, looking utterly dejected. "How can someone just disappear like that?"

"Brother Fu, we found her. She's in a suite at the Imperial Hotel. The guys saw her go in with their own eyes."

"Keep an eye on her. I'm on my way."

But when Fu Shiqing arrived, the person who opened the door was Ji Anhe, wearing a bathrobe.

His robe was hanging open, leaving the red mark on his collarbone plainly visible.

"Looking for my girlfriend?" Ji Anhe leaned one hand against the doorframe, his eyes full of defiance.

Theme: Love can overcome anything.
