Why Is the Cold CEO Acting with His Wife Again Today?

[Main story complete]

Everyone in their circle was saying that Lu Xingjian had gone mad.

The youngest head of the Lu family, he had always been cold, arrogant, and disdainful of everyone. He was widely considered the most unattainable flower on a high mountain.

No one expected a man like him to quietly register his marriage to an ordinary office worker.

And a man, at that.

Rumors abounded.

At first, everyone guessed it was a whim, some kind of "charity project." But within days, they had changed their minds and agreed on one explanation:

Lu Xingjian probably just wanted a beautiful little pet to keep at home.

After all, just half of his spouse's profile, leaked online, was enough to make all the eligible young ladies and gentlemen in their circle pale in comparison.

The onlookers were reassured: at least it was just lust at first sight, not a sign that he'd lost his mind.

"What do you think President Lu's attitude toward him is?"

"What else? He calls, the other guy comes. He shoos him away, and off he goes. Do you really expect Lu Xingjian to lower his head and sweet-talk someone with that icy face?"

Some media outlets even reported that during one interview, a reporter had tried to bring up the marriage indirectly.

The man had darkened his expression and skipped the subject altogether, showing not the slightest hint of joy, as if the marriage were some kind of burden.

Some clicked their tongues; others waited to see a spectacle. The longer the rumor spread, the more it became accepted as fact:

With Lu Xingjian's power and status, all he had to do was crook a finger and the other man would obey. In the end, he was nothing more than a plaything unfit to be seen in public.

On the wedding day, the city's elite gathered.

Every one of them came to watch the show, eager to keep their eyes fixed on the newlyweds and see how Lu Xingjian would control his "pet."

In full view of everyone, the person who was supposedly meant to live at another man's mercy looked cool and detached. He merely gave the man beside him a little beckoning curl of his finger.

The next second.

Lu Xingjian, usually so cold and arrogant, bent down ever so slightly and obediently pressed his cheek against that beautiful, pale hand.

Here's a new story I'm planning to publish next month~

The Leopard Cat I Adopted Seems to Have Two Sides

.

Xia Lin has always been troubled by how aloof his pet leopard cat is.

It won't let him kiss it, hold it, or pet it, and sometimes he can't even find the cat anywhere.

As a top-tier cat lover, he can't stand being treated so coldly. Just as he is about to search for advice on how to get along with cats, he discovers a new forum on his phone.

Its name is [Guide to the Beastfolk].

Beastfolk are the subject of an urban legend. Many people firmly believe they can transform into humans or other objects and hide in human society.

As a staunch materialist, Xia Lin doesn't believe a word of it.

That is, until a bloodied tiger's face appears on the head of his rideshare driver.

The tiger driver snarls at Xia Lin. Just off work, he stares in shock: …???

Beastfolk really exist!!

He thinks he's about to die.

Then a shadow darts in front of him, the wind and rain sweeping in together. He can't make out the person's face, but hears a cold voice say:

"Don't be afraid. Stay behind me."

Xia Lin freezes. Amid the chaos, a thought flickers through his mind: Why does this person's shampoo smell exactly like Mimi's?

As it turns out, fate works in mysterious ways.

At least when Xia Lin sees the leopard cat turn into a human and realizes that it is Ji Suye, the man who saved him, he is only surprised for a moment before accepting it.

He hopes they might become something more, but then a fortune-teller tells him that his soul is scattered and his birth chart is weak. If he wants to live, he needs to find a few things with strong fates to bolster it.

So, on the second day of their vacation, the two of them set off in one car along the winding mountain highway into Tibet.

Xia Lin expects his cat master to be aloof all the way, but although Ji Suye doesn't say much, he quietly looks after Xia Lin's feelings.

Night falls, and the wind sweeps through the grass.

The grasslands have a huge temperature difference between day and night. The two set up camp in a sheltered spot. As soon as they enter the tent, Xia Lin unceremoniously leans against Ji Suye to soak up his warmth.

Ji Suye gives a soft laugh and quietly wraps his hands around Xia Lin's.

The yellow lamplight flickers, seeming to spread through the amber-colored eyes of the person in front of him until it stirs an alluring whirlpool.

Xia Lin's heart skips a beat. For no particular reason, he asks, "Ji Suye, is there someone you like?"

Or is it him that Ji Suye likes?

The wind howls outside, battering the tent with sharp, crackling gusts.

Ji Suye looks at Xia Lin's hopeful gaze and says nothing. He wants to answer, but the pain of his memories chokes off the words.

He seems to see himself from another timeline, kissing Xia Lin on the lips with a sick, possessive hunger. Their love had been so intense

Then his other personality emerged and, with a cruel snap, broke Xia Lin's neck.

Xia Lin found the leopard cat by chance.

Thunder rumbled and rain poured down. As he passed a patch of grass under his umbrella, he heard the faintest meow.

He looked down and saw a tiny, soaked kitten staring up at him with round eyes.

The saying goes, "When it comes to strays, act fast or miss your chance."

Xia Lin would never miss an opportunity to get a cat. He picked up the leopard cat, ignoring its stiff little body as he gently stroked its back.

He thought, "Great, I'm not a catless savage anymore."

Ji Suye looked at him, heart aching. He silently vowed: This time, I'm going to make sure Xia Lin lives to a hundred.
