A ruthless homewrecker of a streetwise racing driver x a well-behaved heiress
Childhood sweethearts / He falls for her in secret / Rekindled love / The stray dog rises above his station to become the mistress
Blurb:
Shen Zhining knew that plenty of people liked Xiao Zheng, whether it was the ordinary admiration and respect, or more worldly desire and longing.
After all, he was F1's hottest young racing prodigy.
In fact, many people had asked Shen Zhining why, given that she and Xiao Zheng were childhood friends, she hadn't taken advantage of being close to him and gotten to him first.
She glanced at the defiant-looking man who had just taken off his helmet, then instinctively stepped back, thinking: Mom and Dad said you should choose someone steady and dependable to date and marry, not someone so... wild.
But in the instant she lowered her head, she failed to notice Xiao Zheng's gaze fixed on her.
Then, when she was twenty, a family banquet shared by the Shen and Xiao families changed everything.
Shen Zhining nervously looked at the unfamiliar man seated at the head of the table. Her mother said, "Sweetheart, this is Xiao Xingzhi, the eldest son of the Xiao family. You two know each other well, so you can spend more time together from now on."
Since when had the Xiao family suddenly produced an "eldest son"?! Shen Zhining didn't even look at him.
Instead, she secretly glanced at Xiao Zheng, who had moved to a corner, the veins bulging in his forearm and gloom written across his face.
No one knew how, night after night from then on, Shen Zhining managed to slip away from the crowd and kiss Xiao Zheng in a side room in the garden.
He pinned her against the hood of a car and demanded, "Ningning, if you agreed to spend time with my brother, why did you agree to meet me? Can't bear to watch me turn into a stray dog nobody wants?"
Shen Zhining had no answer. But she accepted all his fierce possessiveness.
But sooner or later, the truth would come out.
A top-tier competition like F1 had no place for Xiao Zheng, the illegitimate son whose identity had been exposed. And a refined heiress like Shen Zhining shouldn't have a man she had to keep in the dark, either.
Three years passed, until Shen Zhining had nearly forgotten what Xiao Zheng looked like.
With little interest, she took her fiance Xiao Xingzhi's arm and listened as he told her how successfully he'd invested in the McLaren team, which was about to win that year's F1 championship.
Then, as she entered a VIP suite at the racetrack, she unexpectedly came face-to-face with someone she never thought she'd see.
Xiao Zheng... When had he returned to F1?!
And... why was he on the opposing team to her fiance's?!
"Did you hear what I said? Aren't you happy for us?" Her fiance leaned close to Shen Zhining's ear.
At that very moment, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.
A message arrived from an unsaved number: "Wearing my brother's colors, sitting in my brother's suite, watching me beat his team. Shen Zhining, who are you thinking about right now?"
[SC, the male lead is devoted in both body and heart, HE]
