The Rich End Up Together

Su Juan had been dating Xi Xinji for a year, and she was the perfect girlfriend.

She never expected the Xi family to look down on her for being from the countryside and show up with a check, saying, "Leave my son. Here's one million."

Su Juan picked up the check and glanced at it. "How about adding another zero?"

To her surprise, they agreed without hesitation.

So Su Juan took the ten-million check and walked away in style, without looking back.

Not long afterward, she took her company public. In front of the media, she choked up with emotion: "I'd like to thank the kind person who supported me back then. Your ten million is what got me where I am today..."

Below the stage,

Xi Xinji stood in a perfectly tailored suit behind a group of bodyguards, lazily applauding with an inscrutable look on his face.

After the press conference, Su Juan slowly descended the stage in her high heels.

She had barely taken a few steps when Xi Xinji hoisted her over his shoulder. "Miss Zhou, the precious daughter of the Zhou Group, did you forget to thank me?"

At university, Su Juan had fallen for Xi Xinji and considered him her dream man.

After a year of dating, she finally understood that no matter how hard she tried, she could only ever be a copy of someone else.

Once she came to her senses, Su Juan left quietly and decisively.

No one knew better than Xi Xinji that Su Juan was a ray of light in his life, the one who had led him out of the darkness.

He searched for her like a madman, turning the world upside down.

Softness Tames is currently being serialized in my author column:

Ruan Ying never imagined she would accidentally give her love letter to the wrong person. She had meant to give it to the top student, but somehow it ended up in the hands of the school bully.

Pu Xunran was the very definition of domineering, unreasonable, obsessive, and irritable in Ruan Ying's mind.

That day, Pu Xunran looked down at Ruan Ying with a roguish grin. "You like me?"

Ruan Ying, standing tall, couldn't stop her knees from going weak. "I don't..."

Before she could finish, Pu Xunran snatched the love letter from her hand and stuffed it into his pocket. "No need to thank me. Starting tomorrow, I'll protect you."

Who asked you to protect me?!

Ruan Ying was on the verge of tears.

Faced with Pu Xunran's endless delusions that she was in love with him, Ruan Ying finally lost her patience. "Finish these hundred test papers and I'll agree to go to a movie with you. Remember, you have to do them all yourself."

A week later, just when Ruan Ying thought she'd finally have some peace and quiet, Pu Xunran set a hundred completed test papers on her desk. "Here, all done."

*

Much later.

Ruan Ying and Pu Xunran got into a fight and gave each other the silent treatment.

Pu Xunran sent Ruan Zi more than a dozen messages in a row. His last one read: "Give me a little time to cool off. I'll come make it up to you later."

Ruan Ying read the message and couldn't help smiling with relief. She replied: "I want a hug."
