Playing Me

Yangcheng has two major business conglomerates, nicknamed the Ji family in the south and the Qiao family in the north.

The Qiao family's young master, Qiao Zesheng, is rich and handsome, carefree, and lavish with his money.

Girls chasing after him could line up from the south side of the city to the north, every one of them slender, long-legged, and beautiful. The only question was who would claim a place in his heart.

One day, as Qiao Zesheng leaned against his car waiting for someone, he received a love letter. He didn't even read it before tossing it aside.

The girl who'd given it to him wore a school uniform and had her hair tied up in a frumpy little bun. Her eyes were timid, and she was completely not his type.

But just a few days later, at the biggest nightclub in Yangcheng, a familiar face caught everyone's attention.

The girl in the dance hall wore exquisite smoky makeup. She sang as she moved, smiling like a bewitching demon.

When the song ended, she gracefully leaped off the stage and was pulled into the arms of Ji Shaoyang, the young master of the Ji family from the south. She smiled at him, charming and coy.

Qiao Zesheng ran his tongue over his teeth and narrowed his eyes, trapping her between his arms. “The Ji family in the south and the Qiao family in the north, and you're still playing both sides? What the hell, are you messing with me?”

“So what?” The girl lifted her chin, her eyes full of defiance. “Want me to mess with you?”

He thought Chu Youqing was his canary, a bird in a cage. He never expected that one day she would fly away without looking back...

Chu Youqing thought any heart could be warmed, until she met Qiao Zesheng.

She lowered herself to indulge his tastes and even got her cousin Ji Shaoyang to help her put on an act, but in the end, she still couldn't capture Qiao Zesheng's heart.

There are plenty of awful men out there. Who can't live without whom?

But after Chu Youqing finally saw things clearly and left with her head held high, that awful man, Qiao Zesheng, knelt before her with a diamond ring, roses, and his entire fortune. “Youyou, play with me, okay? You can do whatever you want...”

Chu Youqing waved goodbye, leaving without a trace. “I'm tired of playing.”
