A Calculated Entanglement

A coercive romance

Chen Wan once cruelly bullied the proud young man who had come to live with the Chen family along with his mother.

She never imagined that after she spent several years abroad, living it up, the Chen family would end up entirely in that same young man's hands.

And now... it seemed he had come to settle the score.

One night, Chen Wan strode over and tossed a stack of cash in front of Zhou Qinshi. Bracing both hands on the desk, she snapped, "Zhou Qinshi, do you think this is fun?"

Zhou Qinshi looked up at her, his gaze darkening.

Seeing the look in his eyes, Chen Wan pressed a hand to the V-neck of her dress. "Where are you looking?!"

Zhou Qinshi gave her an amused smile, stood, and walked over to her, looking her up and down. "Chen Wan, paying me back isn't that hard. You could make good use of what you have that's most valuable right now."

His blunt stare made her even angrier. "What do you mean?"

Zhou Qinshi moved closer. "I mean... would you like to try seducing me again?"

Chen Wan and Lu Linqian were once forced to spend a night together in a shabby little hotel.

But when they returned to the city, they found Zhou Qinshi sitting quietly in her room.

Chen Wan thought Zhou Qinshi must have gone mad, because he seemed to care about nothing anymore. He forcibly pulled her into his arms and demanded, "Chen Wan, either you pay me back within a week..."

"Or you give yourself to me."
