I Want Every Rich Woman

Gorgeous heiress x aloof private chef

Blurb One:

Her mother is a Level 10 scholar of dark cuisine, and her father can't tell sugar from salt. When it comes to food, Lin Xian has suffered twenty years of culinary torture.

After getting rich, Lin Xian will spare no expense to satisfy her appetite.

Ji Huaizhou is the private chef she hires.

No matter how dark the recipe, once Ji Huaizhou gets his hands on it, it becomes a feast for the eyes and the palate. And even more tempting than the delicacies is Ji Huaizhou himself.

Lin Xian gets an idea and tries to tempt him with her fortune, but though Ji Huaizhou is poor, he has too much pride to be bought.

A luxury car does nothing to sway him.

Her charms fail to tempt him, and he turns to leave.

After hitting a wall time and again, Lin Xian decides she’s done trying.

Ji Huaizhou may be hard to win over, but can’t she just get another one?

Then a new chef arrives who’s out of this world, and Lin Xian’s favor clearly starts shifting toward the newcomer.

At last, a hint of panic appears on Ji Huaizhou’s usually impassive face.

One day, after Lin Xian praises the new chef’s steamed fish head with chopped chili for its savory aroma and delicious flavor, she’s lured out of her room that night by the irresistible smell of food.

Ji Huaizhou is holding a fish head with chopped chili, freshly drizzled with hot oil that’s still sizzling. He watches her without a word.

“It smells amazing.” Lin Xian doesn’t hold back her praise.

But he doesn’t budge.

“I can tell it’s even better than the new chef’s!”

At that, Ji Huaizhou lowers his head to hide his pleased smile, then fills his boss’s bowl with rice.

The new chef: Should I just leave, then?

Blurb Two:

Following the usual CEO-romance playbook, Lin Xian asks Ji Huaizhou:

“Does anyone in your family have an illness and urgently need money for surgery? Any awful relatives demanding money from you? Or maybe you took out a loan with a loan shark and can’t pay it back?”

Ji Huaizhou glances at her. “No.”

“What about your company? A company in trouble that needs a big cash injection? Mortgage or car payments? Paying for your younger siblings’ education?”

“No.” Ji Huaizhou doesn’t even look up.

“Really? Nothing?” Lin Xian refuses to give up.

Ji Huaizhou ignores her.

Later, when Lin Xian hears that Ji Huaizhou’s mother has trouble walking, she thinks her chance has finally come and imagines the tragic plight of a dutiful son from a poor family.

“I’ll give you a raise!”

“Why?” Ji Huaizhou guesses what Lin Xian is up to and watches her with a leisurely expression.

Lin Xian shifts into a more commanding pose.

“I feel like it. Got a problem with that?”

This elaborate effort to give Ji Huaizhou a raise

continues until Lin Xian gets a look at his bank balance...

“You’re actually this rich???”

“Mm.” Ji Huaizhou rarely smiles, but when he does, his smile is captivating.
