When the Sudden Rain Falls

[Chapters 29-31 have been revised. This novel will remain free until completion.] [Cool beauty | Distinguished power player | Stealing her away | Status gap | The powerful one bows his head] 1 When Chen Yi broke up with her ex-boyfriend, things turned into a huge, ugly mess. The campus forum was covered with posts about their "glorious deeds." A powerful man in a Maybach came to her aid, and Chen Yi was deeply grateful, feeling she had no way to repay him. Later, the powerful man asked her to repay him. He didn't expect Chen Yi to put on a good show in public and pretend she didn't know him. As their friends watched the drama unfold, they couldn't resist teasing Xiao Xuanshu: "You have to use a few tricks with women like this. If being nice doesn't work, get tough." 2 On a rainy night in late autumn, Chen Yi went out in her pajamas to take out the trash. At the intersection was a Maybach with a lucky number plate and its hazard lights flashing. Chen Yi only glanced at it, but a tall figure got out and walked toward her. His bodyguard hurried after the drunk Xiao Xuanshu, holding an umbrella over him. Chen Yi instinctively tried to dodge, but the man grabbed her, pulled her into his arms, and scolded her harshly. "Have you forgotten who drove you back to campus in the middle of the night? Who helped you clean up your mess? Who said you'd work like an ox or a horse to repay me? You ungrateful little brat!" 3 While Chen Yi was dating Xiao Xuanshu, she was constantly on edge, afraid that the powerful man would dump her one day if he got in a bad mood. She never expected Xiao Xuanshu to have had a fiancee, and in the end, she was the one who dumped him. That night, he drove through the torrential rain back to the villa. Seeing Chen Yi still packing her things, he silently pulled her into his arms. In the darkness, the rain outside lashed furiously against the windows. The scoundrel's restrained voice fell by her ear. "Chen Yi, don't leave." Reader advisory: 1. The male lead's engagement mentioned in the blurb is a misunderstanding.
