Kiss Me Again [Investment Banking Couple]

[Complete!] My other novel, Summer Fields, is currently updating. It's about a campus couple getting back together after a breakup.

[Campus Romance] [Mutual Pining] [Reunion After Separation] [Getting Back Together]

In high school, Ning Anran was quiet and kept a low profile, while Zhou Siyuan was the center of attention, making big news every day.

One competition brought the two together, though they should have gone their separate ways. Rumors about the two of them began circulating around school.

Hearing their names linked together filled Ning Anran with a secret delight, but she remained clearheaded and restrained, keeping her distance from him.

Who would have thought that the day before summer vacation, Zhou Siyuan would stand with his hands in his pockets beneath the flagpole and say to her, "Ning Anran, let me clear something up. I like you. It's not a rumor."

Behind the boy, the setting sun hovered just above the horizon, painting half the sky red.

He smiled at her. "What about you? Do you want to clear things up?"

After the final exam of the college entrance tests, Zhou Siyuan, who had handed in his paper early, confidently took Ning Anran's hand outside the examination hall.

Their four years at university made everyone around them envious. Ning Anran thought they would go from school uniforms to wedding dresses, but reality was that he broke up with her without warning, then vanished without a trace.

Seven years after their breakup, on a rainy afternoon, on a vast, barren plain, a colleague who had come to her rescue grabbed her from behind as she slid toward a deep ravine.

Ning Anran turned around. Before she could thank them, she saw a face she had not seen in years, yet knew so well.

Their eyes met. Rain poured down like a waterfall.

Through the curtain of rain, Ning Anran looked down and made out the number on the name badge of the man's rain-soaked blue uniform: 0.

The Skyward Project, Commander No. 0

[This is a finance-industry romance about a married couple getting back together, with a professional workplace setting. The main text has undergone extensive revisions and polishing, and differs greatly from pirated versions. Please support the official version.]

After the biggest IPO celebration of the year in the country,

Xia Shichu got drunk and did something "unthinkable" to Sheng Huaiyang, the company's new partner, managing director of the investment banking division, and her direct boss.

At first light the next day, once she had sobered up, Xia Shichu decided that running was the best plan.

But as soon as her feet touched the floor, someone pulled her back.

The handsome man looked perfectly clear-eyed as he ran his fingers over her face. "Xia Shichu, how come you still haven't kicked that habit of taking what you want and running away?"

"Playful enchantress vs. aloof heartthrob"

"Campus sweethearts vs. equally matched partners"

[Some warnings, as they say:]

1. A workplace novel about investment bankers. The main focus is romance, and technical details will be explained in the author's notes. It could also be called: The Investment Banking Couple's Everyday Life, Two Top Students' Journey Through Love and Work, Training My Boyfriend of a Certain Zodiac Sign, or Giving My Mussel-Shell Boyfriend Pistachios to Cheer Him Up. [These titles are all made up.]

2. The story is told from the female lead's perspective. The male lead's inner thoughts are not explored much at first, so readers will have to infer and feel them. Please skip this if that's not for you. Thanks!

3. They do get back together, but this is not a groveling-ex-boyfriend story. Please make sure you know what you're getting into before reading.

My new novel, Day and Night, is currently updating. It's also a workplace story set in investment banking, featuring this novel's male lead's senior fellow students.

[Showdown at the Top] [Love and Hate] [Workplace]

Private equity guru Ning Yanfeng greets everyone with a smile, his charming eyes full of tenderness. But everyone knows that behind those warm eyes lies a ruthless streak.

People in the industry say there's no deal Ning can't close, until a devilish queen named Zhou Xi shows up.

Queen Zhou has the face of a Jiangnan beauty and eyes that ripple like spring water, yet she tackles the toughest challenges, takes on the hardest deals, and makes the most money.

They clash again and again, each matching the other's moves, and finally face off in the contest for a trillion-yuan SP fund manager position.

Everyone in the industry says the two met at the summit: kings don't meet kings, generals don't meet generals, and neither will stop until one falls.

No one knows that in the quiet of night, they nestle together, looking down at the stream of headlights and sleepless neon beneath them as they share a long, lingering cigarette.

In a nutshell: fighting over business by day, fighting over the blankets at night.

Theme: Take your work seriously, and love wholeheartedly.
