The Foolish Beauty Wants to Seduce Her Ex's Uncle

A clueless heroine who thinks she's crafty but has all her schemes seen through x a cunning, manipulative hero who plays hard to get and thinks the world of himself

The boldest thing Jiang Zhiyu ever did was set her sights on her ex-boyfriend's uncle, Feng Yu, on the day she broke up with her boyfriend.

At the time, the Jiang family had offended powerful people, and their business was being suppressed across the board. They were on the brink of bankruptcy. The Feng family was the wealthiest in the capital, and Feng Yu was its current head. Only the Feng family could save the Jiangs.

After thinking it over for a long time, she decided that "seducing" him was better than begging for help. Jiang Zhiyu was the sort of person whose eyes would turn red if she so much as bumped or scraped herself. Whenever she faced a problem, she couldn't help wanting to cry. This time, she decided to throw caution to the wind!

There were only a few tricks to seducing someone: twist your ankle, step into his path, then look beautiful and say, "What a coincidence." Little did she know, these old tricks had been used to death. Silly Jiang Zhiyu still treated them like a sacred guidebook.

On the night of the banquet, she dressed up carefully and then fell toward Feng Yu at just the right angle. Her plan was perfect, and the execution went very well, except she'd put too much force into twisting her ankle and actually sprained it.

Before Feng Yu could say a word, her tears fell first. Hanging onto him and gasping in pain, she had her planned flirtatious look drowned in tears, leaving her looking utterly pitiful. Feng Yu looked down at her for two seconds, then expressionlessly picked her up and set her on a nearby chair. "Stop crying."

Jiang Zhiyu's tears fell onto the back of his hand. She complained tearfully, "But it hurts."

The second time, Jiang Zhiyu planned to stage a "bringing an umbrella in the rain" scene. She ran through the rain to his office building, only to see Feng Yu take a long, black-handled umbrella from his car. He glanced at her, then at the pitifully small umbrella in her hand.

Jiang Zhiyu froze. Her soaked bangs clung to her forehead, and water droplets hung from her lashes. Embarrassed, she lowered her head, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Feng Yu watched her with amusement. "Here to bring me an umbrella?"

In Feng Yu's eyes, Jiang Zhiyu's seduction scheme was incredibly stupid. She was like a clumsy cat charging headfirst into everything, tripping over her own feet with every move and never realizing it.

Feng Yu's gaze at her grew stranger and stranger. A chill crept up her back, and she gave him an ingratiating smile.

It wasn't until Jiang Zhiyu's father discovered her bold undertaking that, afraid of offending the Feng family, he sent her back to their hometown in the south to lie low. She thought this ridiculous farce would end there, and for some reason, a hard-to-name sense of loss welled up inside her.

Jiang Zhiyu spent two days staring into space in the courtyard of her family's home in the south. On the third morning, a black Maybach rolled through the mist and stopped outside the gate.

Feng Yu got out in a suit and tie, his tie perfectly in place. Before she could say anything, he walked straight up to her, leaned down slightly, and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear. "Why are you running?"

She was trapped against a warm chest as a dangerous presence drew near. Feng Yu's lips curved, and a tender yet perilous glint rose in his eyes. "You flirt with me and then run away. Who taught you that?"

"You're so hopelessly clumsy. I have to teach you how to seduce someone step by step. I gave you so many chances, and what do you do? You use them and then run off?"

Jiang Zhiyu's mind completely short-circuited. She stared at him in disbelief, words stuck on her lips. "You... you..."

What she didn't know was that all those supposed "seductions" and "chance encounters" were part of someone else's long-laid plans. She had never been the one to choose him. He had been waiting for her to walk straight into his trap from the very beginning.
