Love and Him

[The main story is complete, and bonus chapters are being updated.] [My next book will be The Gentle Blade. You can pre-save it from my profile.] Book blurb 1 Fu Jichen learns that the woman who's been living with him for months and bossing him around is the youngest daughter of the Yu family, his business rival. He decides to take drastic action and personally plans a dinner party to expose her secret identity. Yu Qing never imagined that Fu Jichen would witness the whole disastrous scene of her secret identity being exposed. That night, she packs her things and moves out of his apartment. Fu Jichen stares at her for a long while. "Apologize to me, and I'll forgive you." Yu Qing smiles. "Shouldn't you be the one apologizing to me? You made me lose my little secret identity." Fu Jichen: "..." He wants to see how long she'll keep playing hard to get, so he drives her back to the Yu family himself. Six months later, Fu Jichen and Yu Qing register their marriage. Afterward, rumors run wild in their social circle that Fu Jichen married her because she got pregnant and forced his hand. His friends all come to warn him that Yu Qing deliberately hid her identity to get close to him and used a child to trap him. A scheming woman like that isn't fit to marry. Fu Jichen: "I'm the one who apologized. I'm the one who pursued her. And I was the one who wanted a child to tie her to me." Book blurb 2 The first time Yu Qing met Fu Jichen was on a tennis court at a club. She was filling in as his practice partner, and he gave her a generous tip. The next time they met, she was a junior employee in the group's legal department, and he was the CEO. That day, a sudden downpour began while they were working late. Fu Jichen gave her a ride when she couldn't get a taxi. The road back to her apartment was flooded, so they ended up at his place. She decided to forget everything that happened that night. A few weeks later, they ran into each other at the office. Yu Qing greeted him casually. "Mr. Fu." Fu Jichen looked at her. "Your name?" "Yu Qing." Fu Jichen nodded. Later, Yu Qing curled up in his arms and asked him, "Did you really forget my name back then?" Fu Jichen: "I didn't forget." He'd heard her mumbling her name that night, but thought she'd said Xu Xing. He searched the entire company, but there was no one by that name. The heroine is a lawyer, a gorgeous little fairy just like her name suggests, and a tennis enthusiast. Love at first sight, then falling even deeper the second time around. A simple, lighthearted story. My Weibo: Meng Xiaoer ~﹡~﹡~﹡ [.New story in the drafts: The Gentle Blade, by Meng Xiaoer.]﹡~﹡~﹡~﹡~﹡~*~﹡~﹡~﹡~ Blurb The year Li Zheng turned twenty-two, she fell for Fu Chenglin, a friend of her uncle's. For her birthday, her uncle gave her shares in a company. As it happened, Fu Chenglin was the company's boss. She started making little plans to use her status as a shareholder to "sexually harass" Fu Chenglin. Fu Chenglin reminded her of a harsh fact: "You only own 0.1 percent of the shares. That amount is negligible." Li Zheng: "..." Only the assistant knew what happened next. That day, Li Zheng visited Fu Chenglin. After she left, Fu Chenglin asked his assistant to buy him a mask. The assistant noticed that the boss's lips were bitten, swollen, and bruised. The boss wore a mask for several days in a row. And Li Zheng never visited the boss's office again. Later, he found out that Li Zheng had confessed to the boss, and the boss had rejected her. Six months later. Li Zheng showed up at Fu Chenglin's birthday party wearing a diamond ring. She smiled gently, like a gentle blade. "Uncle Fu, happy birthday." Fu Chenglin: "..." His gaze grew dark as he stared at her for a long moment. After the party, Fu Chenglin drew Li Zheng close. "Didn't you want to sexually harass me? Go ahead." Then he took the bothersome ring off her hand and lowered his head to kiss her. Fu Chenglin got two glasses of red wine poured over his head in response. -- At a card game, his friends took malicious delight in the gossip. "Heard someone threw a drink on you. Who's got the nerve?" Fu Chenglin glanced at his friends and said nothing. One friend continued, "Li Zheng is getting engaged." Fu Chenglin tossed down his cards and got up to leave. His friend called after him, "Where are you going? Aren't you playing anymore?" Fu Chenglin: "To steal her away." A sweet romance. ~﹡~﹡~﹡ [.A friend's new story: I'll Be Waiting for You, by Cheng Momo.]﹡~﹡~﹡~﹡~﹡~*~﹡~﹡~﹡~ Blurb 1: All of Xu Yuan's friends know she likes Tao Zhichu. Too bad it's unrequited. No one expected that one day, out of the blue, this girl would post a photo of herself kissing Han Xu on WeChat Moments, leaving everyone stunned. Her friends' feed exploded: The bossy little firecracker and the tyrannical T-Rex who bicker every time they meet? No way! Xu Yuan thumps her chest: Yeah, no way! My face hurts so much! Han Xu smiles tenderly. "Good girl." Tao Zhichu, completely baffled: What happened to you saying you loved me and sending me kisses? Blurb 2: At a gathering, a friend asked Han Xu, "I heard Xu Yuan confessed to Tao Zhichu and got rejected again?" He smiled with a curl of his lip. "She's bossy, spoiled, and has a bad temper. If Tao Zhichu likes her, he's blind." The friend thought: True. He and Xu Yuan have always been like fire and water. It'd be more surprising to hear him say something nice about her. Then, in less than a month, Han Xu proved with his own actions what it means to be "blind." Friend: Heh. PS: A story of two people eating their words and falling hard for each other.
