In her first year as a real estate agent in Manhattan, Lin Xiyue, who was about to be unable to pay her rent, set her sights on Zhou Lingheng, the most difficult financial backer in the Upper East Side.
The man of mixed Chinese and American descent has high eyebrows, deep eye sockets, and a pair of dark green eyes that are calm and charming.
But underneath his superior appearance, he is notoriously cold and harsh.
There is a rumor in the circle that whoever can capture him will have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life.
While his peers were frustrated one after another, Lin Xiyue worked step by step and finally sold him a luxurious mansion.
However, after the big deal was completed, she discovered that Zhou Lingheng, who was cold and distant in front of others, was possessive in private and was almost pathological.
After chatting with the male client for a while, she was held in Zhou Lingheng's arms until midnight.
"We were just talking about work!" Lin Xiyang knelt on the pillow with tears streaming down her face.
Zhou Lingheng pinched her waist, his palms so hot that her heart trembled: "But honey, when you came to provoke me... Weren't you also talking about work?"
Lin Xiyue: "..."
-
After saving enough U. S. Dollars and seeing clearly the huge class gap between the two, Lin Xiyue simply cut off all contact with Zhou Lingheng and returned home quietly.
She opened a B&B in her hometown, restarted her career, and started dating step by step.
Late at night, her blind date politely sent her back to the door of the B&B.
Lin Xiyue said goodbye and pushed the door open. Before she could turn on the light, she suddenly saw a man sitting quietly on her bed.
Under the dim moonlight, Zhou Lingheng, who should have been far away in Manhattan, looked like a haunted male ghost, exuding a suffocating gloom.
Before she could react, he had already stood up, stretched out his long arms, and held her in his arms.
Zhou Lingheng's thin lips pressed against her trembling eyelashes, and his voice was so deep that it became cold: "So happily dating another man..."
"Lin Xiyue, do you think I'm dead?"
