CEO Jian Is Denying His True Feelings Again

Currently updating "Criminal Calculations." Check out my profile and add it to your favorites! The first time Peng Xi hears about Jian Ning, it's from someone else: "The highest-paid designer around. Rumor has it he's an illegitimate child from a wealthy family, gay, cold and sharp-tongued, with a volatile personality, and possibly connected to a murder case..." Peng Xi thinks, How did I manage to run into someone this intimidating on my first day here? After getting to know the designer everyone is supposedly afraid of, he discovers that Jian Ning is unexpectedly soft-hearted and says the opposite of what he means. He's even got an indescribably cute, tsundere side that makes Peng Xi, a twenty-two-year-old who's been single his whole life, itch with desire. As they spend their days together, their attraction grows. They share a drunken night, but the next morning Jian Ning turns cold and blocks him. Jian Ning: Could you possibly be any worse at this? Peng Xi: ... For work, Peng Xi has no choice but to swallow his pride and stay by Jian Ning's side. He thinks Jian Ning can't stand him, yet he finds himself liking him more and more. With enough persistence, even an iceberg can slowly melt. Later, the puppy finally wins over the tsundere cat. One day, Peng Xi gently strokes his long hair and says, "Mr. Jian, give me a chance. I promise I won't let you block me this time." Jian Ning: ...Get lost. Mr. Jian is still saying one thing and meaning another today.
