Beloved Kiss

Publication title: Embracing the Light, available for preorder on May 27

Cool, aloof beauty x arrogant tsundere

Shen Linhuan rejected Lu Yao nine times.

Later, their families arranged a marriage.

In the end, Shen Linhuan still married him.

For the first nine days of their marriage, they were like two people who had vanished off the face of the earth.

The first thing he did to get back at her was say, "Spend nine days with me. You're not allowed to go anywhere."

She couldn't be bothered to argue with him. "Fine."

-

Lu Yao said with a cold laugh, "I got married. I've given the Shen family all the face they deserve, and I got the woman I wanted. We're even."

The other person asked, "Oh? So you're going to let her go now?"

Lu Yao rubbed his knuckles, his expression unreadable. "We're even over what happened before. But we're not even over the fact that she tattooed my name on her waist."

Everyone said President Lu had quite a vindictive streak.

At first, Shen Linhuan thought so too.

Later...

The two of them attended a banquet. During the auction, Lu Yao took a liking to a watch and hinted that she should buy it for him.

Shen Linhuan said, "Why don't you bid on it yourself?"

Lu Yao lowered his gaze, looking a little hurt. "Can't you spare a little sympathy for me too?"

Shen Linhuan's heart melted, and guilt washed over her. "...Fine. What else do you want? I'll buy it all for you."

Lu Yao: "..." He'd overdone it.

Gentle, frail, deceptively dark man x sweetheart of the world

That time, he was so drunk he didn't even dare touch her lips. He only kissed her forehead, afraid of tarnishing their feelings.

It was the seventh year after he ended his adoption relationship with the Tang family.

He realized he still hadn't managed to calm down.

He ran into her on the streets of Yincheng again. She was injured, and right in front of her, he beat up the person who had hurt her. At last, the frenzied, violent, dark side of him was exposed before her.

Her little face went deathly pale. She threw her arms around him to stop him, calling out "Big Brother!" over and over.

Those two words burned into his heart like boiling oil.

After bandaging her wounds, he drove her around Yincheng three times. She cried seven times, and each time she wiped her tears on the hem of his custom-tailored suit. He had never indulged anyone like this, with not a trace of temper.

At last he sighed helplessly. "I give up, all right?"

-

When they were children, he was just her sickly, stuttering, withdrawn older brother. Later, he became a business tycoon.

The first time she visited his office, the whole workspace fell silent as she passed through. Later, she heard someone say, "President Xia looks refined and frail, but he's actually cold-blooded and terrifying."

She didn't believe it. She looked closely at him, but all she could see in the reflection on his glasses was her own face.

He leaned closer and took off his glasses with a soft sigh. "Feather, don't distract me while I'm working."

She gently kissed his lips. They felt soft and cool.

She smiled. "Tang Tang, I like you so much."

His brow twitched. He kissed her back despite himself, wanting to crush her and meld her into his very bones and blood.

-I have traveled all my life, only to run toward you-
