Drunken Kiss

Everyone around Cen Huaizhou knew that he'd spent years searching for someone without success. They all told him not to be so stubborn. Maybe things had gone badly for the person, and they were too embarrassed to show up.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Cen Huaizhou might have believed them.

At a party, Cen Huaizhou stared darkly at someone nearby, chatting and laughing with a man. His face turned livid, and his grip tightened unconsciously around his knife.

A colleague noticed. "Why does Dr. Cen look so unhappy?"

Cen Huaizhou glanced at the person smiling radiantly, pressed his tongue against his teeth, and turned cold-faced.

Just after coming out of the restroom, Qiao Wu got a check-in call from her mother. She answered carelessly, "Yes, yes, he has a car and a house, and he's pretty good-looking..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Wu was abruptly pinned against the sink. The man's dark eyes churned with emotion as he stared at her. "Do you really like money that much?"

When Qiao Wu recognized him, she paused, then curled her lips into a provocative smile. "Yeah. Money. Who doesn't like it?"

Cen Huaizhou: "Fine."

Fine what??

By the time Qiao Wu came to her senses, she was sitting in the civil affairs bureau with a huge box of property deeds and car keys in her arms. The man's voice was low and hoarse. "Marry me. All of this will be yours, and I'll be yours too."

"Don't run off again. I can't find you."

The boldest thing Qiao Wu ever did was break up with Cen Huaizhou unilaterally after she'd won him over.

When they met again, she thought the worst that could happen was that they'd be strangers, or that he would hate her. She never expected him to pursue her relentlessly like a wolf hunting across the grasslands.

*

Cen Huaizhou never imagined he'd be this pathetic, still unable to forget someone after she'd dumped him. Then he carefully plotted his way forward and finally tricked her into coming home, where she became his own little happiness.

In the end, he was the first to surrender.

Coming soon: Can't Let Go. Blurb: The rejected husband fights to win her back.

Everyone thought Wen Yang would marry into a wealthy family and become Mrs. Shi. No one expected the couple to break up overnight. Wen Yang left without taking anything, moved abroad alone, and ignored Shi Xu's pleas for her to stay. She left without looking back.

Shi Xu hated her coldness.

He thought Wen Yang would soften after returning home. He thought that after all those years together, or perhaps out of consideration for their elders, she would spare him a glance.

Even just one look would have been enough.

But she didn't.

Then one day, Wen Yang was about to leave. Shi Xu blocked her way and pinched her delicate chin, forcing her to look at him. His eyes grew hot as he gritted his teeth. "Yangyang, look at me... Look at me!"

Wen Yang really did look at him, frowning as she drew in a breath. "That hurts."

Shi Xu's eyes instantly grew moist, and his hand loosened.

When they met again, she was standing beside his younger cousin in a long dress, chatting and laughing. She looked at Shi Xu politely but distantly and greeted him, "Hello, Second Brother." Then she fell silent.

After exchanging greetings, the two walked away together. Shi Xu didn't know what his cousin said to her, but the woman suddenly turned her head and laughed. Her earrings swayed with her movement. Her smile was so bright and radiant that even the diamonds in her earrings seemed to lose their shine.

Her long dress traced the graceful lines of her figure, just as it had before.

Only that brilliant smile no longer belonged to him alone.

Shi Xu had once thought time could really wash everything away, but when he saw the woman he had never stopped thinking about again, he finally understood

Some people can't be forgotten, no matter how much time passes. A single word from her can bring him to his knees.

Some goals can only be achieved by any means necessary.
