【Fully written and ready to update daily. Please add to your collection!】 Flashbacks will be marked as present or past in the chapter headings. Outwardly cold and aloof, inwardly fiercely possessive VS a puppy who blooms at the slightest encouragement Fu Xiao has always been hard-hearted and merciless. She is independent and resilient, and never gives up until she gets what she wants. She considers these qualities her strengths, and they have helped her get everything she ever wanted. Except Wen Guodong. Fu Xiao ruthlessly dumped Wen Guodong twice. The reason she sought him out a third time was that he owned a shop that had just gone bankrupt, and her group’s strategy called for acquiring it as soon as possible. Eight years had passed since they last met. Wen Guodong, with his puppy-dog eyes and gorgeous legs, was even more striking than before. Unfortunately, he had someone else by his side. - Wen Guodong thinks the phrase “a run of bad luck” is misleading, because his luck seems to have been bad all along. The same woman dumped him twice. After graduation, he lost job after job. Then his startup with a business partner was forced to shut down after malicious complaints... He counted the fifty thousand yuan in his pocket, not a penny more or less, and decided to lie flat until it was all gone. But his elderly grandmother refused to let him give up and set him up on a blind date. His date was very interested in the old, shabby house he owned, which was rumored to be slated for demolition, and returned the favor by offering him a job interview. Wen Guodong was too shy to turn her down, so he halfheartedly applied for a driver position. To his surprise, he got the job. Even more surprising, his boss was Fu Xiao, the woman who had dumped him twice.
