Cold-faced tattoo artist Mu Chenzhou x flirtatious celebrated painter Yu Qi

*Falling in love while doing it with a one-night stand

Mu Chenzhou met a beautiful woman named Yu Qi at a bar. Someone had poured a drink over her, but she just laughed as if she didn't care.

Dangerous as hell, and devastatingly beautiful.

One night was all it took for Mu Chenzhou to discover just how soft Yu Qi's waist was.

And just how good it felt to kiss her silver tongue piercing.

Mu Chenzhou thought they were just satisfying each other's needs, both consenting and willing.

But the next day, the woman appeared in her shirt, long, slender, pale legs on display, looking pitiful. “I have nowhere to go.”

Mu Chenzhou: “...”

But the moment she agreed to let Yu Qi stay, that pitiful look vanished without a trace.

She'd been fooled by the beautiful woman again.

Mu Chenzhou got mad, then gave in.

She couldn't exactly throw Yu Qi out when she was covered in marks Mu Chenzhou had left herself.

She had no idea that the woman who was so sweet and delicate in bed was impossibly high-maintenance in everyday life, too.

She needed a soft bed.

She was fussy about food.

Her clothes cost at least four figures.

She was truly hard to keep.

Worst of all, she threw her weight around and demanded that Mu Chenzhou call her “Mommy” while running her fingers over Mu Chenzhou's abs.

Mu Chenzhou pushed her down onto the bed. Looking at the lingering smugness on Yu Qi's face, she patted her cheek.

“Sure.”

“One time you call me that, one whole night we do it.”

Gentle, indulgent, and endlessly doting, but a controlling Mommy

A huge scandal rocked the Chi family, one of Haishi's most prominent families.

The daughter they had carefully raised for eighteen years had been switched at birth.

The real heiress was brought home, and the fake heiress, Chi Weixi, was doused in cold water by people who had come to mock her.

Chi Weixi was soaked through and running a fever. Just as she stood there in a miserable state, a coat was draped over her shoulders.

Its owner had exquisite features, a slight curve to her red lips, and a lazy, gentle voice like sweetened poison. “You poor thing.”

Feverish and muddled, Chi Weixi mistook her for the mother who had come to take her home. She wrapped her arms around the woman's waist and mumbled, “Mommy, don't leave me.”

The woman chuckled, casually dealt with the ill-intentioned onlookers, and accepted the title. “Be good, darling. Mommy's here.”

When she woke up, she learned that the woman was Qi Changsheng, head of the reclusive and powerful Qi family, one of Haishi's most elite families.

The fake heiress, who should have become everyone's target,

was pampered like the apple of their eye.

For two months, Chi Weixi called her Mommy this and Mommy that, sweeter than anyone else.

Mommy was a hundred times gentler than she'd imagined. She was beautiful, and she called Chi Weixi her darling.

Chi Weixi thought it was probably because she had never lived with her mother as a child, and now she yearned to be close to her.

She wanted to share a bed with Mommy, curl up against her, and fall asleep listening to her heartbeat, with Mommy's clothes between her teeth.

Until the devastating truth came out: Chi Weixi had mistaken someone else for her mother.

Her birth mother had been a close friend of Qi Changsheng, but had died young.

Qi Changsheng had only been looking after her on her friend's behalf.

Chi Weixi was angry, embarrassed, and mortified, and had no idea how to face her.

In a panic, she packed her things and prepared to run away.

She had barely made it to the airport when a leisurely voice came from behind. The woman wrapped her arms around Chi Weixi's waist, rested her chin in the hollow of her shoulder, and breathed hotly against her neck.

“Where are you running off to, baby? Weren't you the one who called me Mommy first?”

-

Later, Chi Weixi proved through her actions that no one calls someone Mommy for nothing.

In front of the penthouse's floor-to-ceiling windows, Chi Weixi pinned her against the glass and slipped her fingers inside. “You've been deceiving me for so long, Mommy. How are you going to make it up to me?”

Qi Changsheng narrowed her eyes, hazy with desire, and patted her cheek. “What, do you need Mommy to teach you that, too?”
