His Little Scaredy-Cat

Blurb:

Yan Shiyu is a well-known figure at Lingnan University. The principal's only son, he has an exquisitely handsome face and a huge following of female fans.

Wild and unrestrained, he's constantly surrounded by rumors. No girl can escape his clutches, and in the end, he always throws them away.

Fate had other plans...

Until he met He Anrou, he'd never felt possessive of anyone.

He Anrou and Yan Shiyu got off on the wrong foot the first time they met properly.

Through a gap in the noisy crowd, Yan Shiyu spotted a girl whose face was pale with fright. His voice was low and irreverent. "I heard you're my girlfriend?"

He Anrou didn't dare look up. She could only see his long legs. She softly replied, "It's a misunderstanding. I didn't say that..."

Later, he went to great lengths to pursue He Anrou, thinking he'd dump her as soon as he won her over!

He never expected that once he got involved with her, he wouldn't be able to quit.

Drunk, He Anrou leaned against Yan Shiyu. "Actually, I like you. I just didn't dare say it."

Yan Shiyu suppressed the fire in his heart and the turmoil within him. "Good girl, I like you too..."

Later, his buddies all teased him. "Weren't you the heartbreaker who took down every pretty girl? How come it looks like one of them has you by the tail now?"

Yan Shiyu: "Hell if I know!"

On the bus back to school, Yan Shiyu lazily blocked her with his arm and coaxed, "Call me hubby..."

When their classmates weren't paying attention, she turned her face away, looked up, and whispered, "Hu...hubby..."

Yan Shiyu: "Too quiet. What did you say?"

He Anrou: "Hubby..."

Yan Shiyu: "Ah, the bus is so noisy. I still can't hear you."

He Anrou, exasperated, shouted, "Hubby! Hubby! Hubby!"

Their classmates: !!!!!!!!

Yan Shiyu grinned wickedly. "I asked you to call me hubby, not to shout it out loud. Be good. Don't blame me if everyone hears."

He Anrou: "...!! What a trick."

Everyone at school knows Yan Shiyu slept with her in a tent. There's photographic evidence, so don't even try to deny it!

When Qu Nian was eighteen, her parents told her that a man would be taking her away.

The man was aloof, proud, carefree, and handsome. He treated her like a canary kept at home, a valuable ornament to admire.

During the three years she lived with him, Qu Nian was always careful and never overstepped, afraid that angering him would bring misfortune to her family. After all, she was only a pawn to pay off their debt.

She never let her little feelings show. Then, after graduating and earning a decent income, she decided to leave her gilded cage.

The night before she planned to go, she felt the warmth beneath the covers steadily rise in her sleep, enveloping her. His distinctive scent filled her nostrils.

As she gradually came to her senses, her restless emotions and body told her that this man was a fierce lion.

He'd been waiting for his chance. The canary was trapped in its cage...

After they returned to the villa, Lin Jue swept Qu Nian into his arms and set her down on the sofa. After taking what he wanted from her again and again, he asked, "How much money do you want, hmm?"

Qu Nian snorted and prepared to run. "Enough to get away from you."

Lin Jue: "Nian Nian, don't go, okay... I'll give you all my money."
