I Really Wasn't Trying to Flirt with You

New story: "Burning Heart"

[Blurb]

1. Ye Caicai met a man who seemed cool and restrained, yet whose body radiated masculine appeal. Drunk, Ye Caicai imagined what he looked like under his clothes and couldn't help exclaiming, "Which gym did you work out at...?"

Before leaving, the man suddenly turned around. "I don't go to a gym. I hired a personal trainer."

Only then did Ye Caicai realize that what she thought were private thoughts had actually come out of her mouth in front of him!

When they met again, she accidentally bumped into his chest. A teasing glint rose in the man's cool eyes. "Come to try out my pecs? I hope my physique didn't disappoint you."

The swaggering Ye Caicai: "Get a grip, sir. I'm a respectable person."

Later, Ye Caicai went to the construction site of a client company and was devastated to discover that he was Fang Zhaoning, the client's big boss!

Facing the storm, Ye Caicai could only meekly apologize. "Mr. Fang... I was drunk that day. I'm sorry."

Fang Zhaoning: "Have you ever heard that drunk words are sober thoughts?"

Ye Caicai: "..."

The more she tried to explain, the worse it sounded.

2. After her ex cheated on her and then wrongly accused her of all sorts of things, Ye Caicai was furious and decided to get a little revenge through a dating app.

On the day her plan succeeded, Ye Caicai thought the sky was especially blue, and even Fang Zhaoning, the client's big boss, seemed especially friendly.

In the end, Ye Caicai happily stood up her ex after pretending to ask him out, gave him a piece of her mind, and blocked him.

The next day, when she went to the client's company to discuss work, the atmosphere was tense. A kind soul warned her not to provoke Fang Zhaoning.

But Ye Caicai walked straight into the line of fire. Something went wrong with the project, yet the expected storm never came.

In the silent office, he took off his glasses and looked at her with dark eyes. "Ye Caicai, you're the first person who's ever stood me up."

Ye Caicai: ???

Then Fang Zhaoning cornered her against the desk, leaned close, and breathed against her ear, his voice seductive. "After flirting with me online for so long... you think you can just turn around and pretend you don't know me?"

Once Ye Caicai understood what was going on, she felt as if she'd been struck by lightning. She'd been flirting with the wrong person all along!! She hadn't been flirting with her ex, but with her ex's big boss, Fang Zhaoning!

Ye Caicai, close to tears, thought to herself: I really wasn't trying to flirt with you, big boss.

3.

Later, Fang Zhaoning placed her hand on his chest and smiled suggestively. "How about it? Maybe you'd like to try my abs, or my V-line?"

Ye Caicai hurriedly stopped him from guiding her hand lower. "No need to try them, no need. I'll find out later."

She didn't mean anything by it, but Fang Zhaoning smiled knowingly. "That's true. You'll find out later..."

Suddenly realizing what he meant, Ye Caicai said, "That's not what I meant!"

Fang Zhaoning raised an eyebrow. "Did I say which meaning I had in mind?"

Ye Caicai: Wasn't that what you meant?

Fang Zhaoning leaned close to her ear. "How about... we make it mean something right now?"

(The author solemnly declares: I don't know what 'make it mean something' means either. Shrugs.)

#Choose between your boyfriend and your livelihood#

P.S. 1. The professional details may not be entirely accurate, so please be gentle. 2. As the blurb shows, the heroine has an ex-boyfriend, but nothing intimate ever happened between them. 3. The leads are not perfect.

[Below is the blurb for the new story, "Burning Heart"]

Jiang Su was born with a pair of captivating eyes, a graceful, alluring figure, and a lovely voice. She was chosen to test whether she was worthy of becoming the next head of the Shen family.

The next head of the Shen family, Shen Baizhou, had always been upright and proper, with a cool, handsome appearance.

When they first met, he smiled and asked her name.

She was instructed to pester him regularly, and Shen Baizhou remained calm and unruffled.

Later, she was instructed to share his bed, and he still treated her with propriety.

Jiang Su was won over by him, thinking that Shen Baizhou was truly the very model of a gentleman.

As the next heir, he could not afford to make mistakes.

But when a woman as bewitching and lithe as if she had no bones clung to him, he knew it was a test, yet still began to fall for her.

After Jiang Su left the Shen family, somehow word of the test got out, and she became the center of gossip for a while. One day, she suddenly received betrothal gifts from Shen Baizhou.

Shen Baizhou: After thinking it over, I realized that my actions have damaged Miss Zhou's reputation. I should take responsibility.

Jiang Su: ??? It really wasn't that serious... (He warded off so many admirers for her that she was able to enjoy some peace and quiet.)

After they became newlyweds...

Jiang Su could barely take it anymore and couldn't help asking, "Back then... were you really completely unmoved?"

Shen Baizhou leaned closer, his breath mingling with hers. "What do you think?"

Jiang Su suddenly understood, but the next moment, her words were swallowed up.

#I Was So Naive#

1. The male lead only pretends to be refined. He's a gentlemanly scoundrel.

2. Both leads are each other's first and only, happy ending.
