Gentle Tide

[Plot idea saved to my collection on March 17, 2019]

[Another story of the same type is in my collection: Harbor City Spring Night. Feel free to save it.]

-

When Qiao Wu met Su Zhiqin, they were in a corridor outside the Kremlin.

The relaxed-looking man was teasing an adorably fierce little snow leopard. He openly declared his love for her, then asked with gentlemanly courtesy:

"Would you be willing to be my lover? You won't have to give anything in return."

The Russian beauty had striking features and well-defined bone structure. When he smiled at her politely, his emerald-green eyes looked like a secluded lake in a misty forest.

She would pretend to be his lover and help him resist his family's pressure to marry.

The generous payment was tempting.

-

But then, on a long-distance trip, their private jet did a 360-degree roll.

Still shaken as she looked down at the mountains and rivers, Qiao Wu asked, "Su Zhiqin, is there anything you're not good at?"

The man's emerald-like eyes blinked.

He let go of the controls with one hand, leaned down, and kissed her. "Getting you to fall in love with me."

-

There's someone who

crowns you with Catherine the Great's crown,

names a planet after you,

hunts the aurora in the Arctic,

and takes you on an elopement across the snowy Siberian plains in an off-road vehicle.

Qiao Wu had thought their brief affair would vanish at first light.

The romance of Russia was just a short interlude in her life, scented with the stink of money.

Until, just before they parted, Su Zhiqin suddenly asked if she remembered the first time they met.

Lost in thought, she answered distractedly, "That church?"

"No." He carefully kissed her brows and eyes. "When you were fourteen."

[Kept woman romance]

Blind, possessive peacekeeping soldier x scheming little madwoman

-

Snowy London night.

The fireplace roared with flames.

Jiang Litang slowly lowered her hand from the mirror, only for someone to hold it in place.

Water streaks meandered across the glass, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

With his eyes closed, the man bit the base of her ear from behind and asked softly, "Tell me everything you saw, bit by bit."

-

As an illegal immigrant, Jiang Litang was forced to take part in robbing an estate on the outskirts of London.

But the crime was exposed, and she was arrested on the spot.

To avoid being deported, she agreed to become the estate owner's personal assistant.

From then on, she became Zhou Xingxu's eyes.

-

But no one knew about the Suez Canal five years earlier.

When Jiang Litang was fourteen, someone rescued her from a cargo ship used for human trafficking.

In the moonlight, a mixed-race teenage soldier in full combat gear removed his goggles. His features were strikingly refined.

Half his face was still covered by a mask, leaving only his gray-green eyes and a beauty mark beneath his right eye visible.

His gaze shone with youthful confidence.

He arranged for her to stay temporarily with a local family in Egypt.

On the day she was deported, the older girl helping with her paperwork suddenly slipped a piece of candy into her hand and said, "Zhou Xingxu specifically asked me to give you this."

It was a piece of candy she would never have the heart to eat.
