Knowing You Love Me

- [Complete] New story, Heartbeat Gambit. Please add it to your collection! The eldest young master of the Liang family, Liang Huaizhou, was famous for his unruly arrogance. No one could earn so much as a respectful glance from him. But those who knew him understood that Liang Huaizhou had a childhood sweetheart, Song Zhihuan, whom he spoiled without restraint. If she asked for the moon, he wouldn't settle for the stars. Everyone agreed they were a perfect match. Who could have guessed that before she even finished her senior year of high school, Song Zhihuan would leave Liang Huaizhou without a word and go abroad? After Song Zhihuan left, Liang Huaizhou continued partying with his lowlife friends. People teased him for not looking heartbroken at all. With a cigarette between his teeth, Liang Huaizhou exhaled a cloud of smoke and scoffed. "What, am I supposed to mourn her for the rest of my life?" - Later, Young Master Liang became President Liang, and he was even more terrifying than in his youth. Rumor had it that his methods were ruthless, and a few words from him could decide whether a company lived or died. At a charity gala, Liang Huaizhou met Song Zhihuan again. At the time, she was leaning against someone else, their pose intimate. She smiled brightly at him. "Huaizhou, long time no see." He looked at her smile and gritted his teeth as he smiled back. "Long time no see." Yeah, right. - After getting together with Liang Huaizhou, Song Zhihuan was spoiled enough to bring back the spoiled temper she'd had as a girl. While filming a variety show, someone arranged for her to do an extra share of the work. Song Zhihuan immediately walked off and refused to film. That day, #SongZhihuanThrowsHerWeightAround# was trending. Netizens called her a spoiled heiress and said she'd be washed up sooner or later, so she might as well get out of show business. That very night @LiangHuaizhou: I'm the one who spoils her. And while we're at it, can you get out of show business sooner? Then I can marry you and bring you home as Mrs. Liang. @SongZhihuan Netizens: How are people still showing off their love like this? :-( - An unruly rich second-generation heir x a spoiled, beautiful heiress High school romance in the first half; wealthy-family and entertainment-industry drama in the second *Reader's guide: Childhood sweethearts / both are sexually inexperienced / a sharp tongue feels good in the moment, but chasing your wife later is hell Heartbeat Gambit blurb 1. Nancheng University is full of notable figures, but the most eye-catching are Bo Yi and Xu Li. The former comes from a poor family, is handsome and cool, and is known as the unattainable campus prince of Nancheng University. The latter comes from a privileged family, is beautiful and uninhibited, and has more admirers than fish crossing a river. The two couldn't be more different, and everyone agrees they're the least likely couple to get together. Then one day, Xu Li suddenly announced that she would win Bo Yi over within a month. During that month, Xu Li tried every trick in the book to pursue him, even moving into his house in a grand display. He only looked at her coldly and said, "Xu Li, don't tempt me." The month passed in a flash. On the day Xu Li moved out of Bo Yi's house, he blocked her way. Xu Li smiled in triumph as the usually composed young man embraced her with trembling arms. His voice was utterly humble. "Stay. Be with me." Just when everyone thought the story had ended perfectly, Xu Li dumped Bo Yi and boarded a plane to Tokyo to study abroad. 2. When they met again, the once impoverished young man had become a rising star in finance, pursued by countless socialites and actresses. A reporter interviewed Bo Yi. At the pinnacle of success but still alone, was there someone he couldn't forget? Bo Yi looked at the camera, his expression cool. "No." Later, the two met at a gathering of friends, and someone brought up the interview. Bo Yi's expression remained impassive. Xu Li smiled brightly. "It was just a fling. Who takes something like that seriously?" Later still, Xu Li tried the same trick again, and Bo Yi lost all his composure. A night of torrential rain. Xu Li was trapped in the passenger seat by Bo Yi. He gripped her chin hard and lowered his head to kiss her, his voice brimming with obsessive desire. "If you love playing with me so much, then play with me for the rest of your life." 3. One day after they got back together, Xu Li found a notebook she'd thrown away in high school while looking through Bo Yi's study. On its yellowed title page was a passage: "I don't know how I fell in love with you, or when, or where. I love you. Because I don't know what other choice I have besides loving you." - "Your heartbeat is the horn that sounds the start of this battle of love." *A playful temptress who treats love as a game x an untouchable flower on a high peak *From college to the city, with high school flashbacks / the male lead has a secret crush on the heroine *Content warning: The heroine is not sexually inexperienced, but the male lead is.
