Ning Gou's Everyday Devotion to His Wife

[An extra for the completed novel Spoiled in the Palm of His Hand. Best enjoyed after reading the main story.]

[Upcoming: Tempting the Buddha, Luring Her]

[Short Synopsis]

Third-tier actress Jiang Xi attends a cast dinner, where the popular young actor she's working with keeps trying to charm her.

When he's drunk, the handsome young man clutches his glass and whines, "Sis, can't you have a drink with me?"

Jiang Xi shakes her head. "No. My family keeps a close eye on me."

"Your family isn't even here. It's just one drink!"

"Who says they aren't here?"

Everyone freezes, then turns to look at the person who spoke from the seat of honor, including the young actor.

The production's main investor, the consultant brought in at the crew's request, and the trillion-yuan CEO of the Ning Group.

Ning Baiming swirls his glass, smiling faintly.

"Did you think I was dead?"

Everyone: "…?!!"

#One drink causes a family upheaval#

#Who exactly is this family member? President Ning, you'd better explain!#

President Ning: Don't blame me for making it public. He said I wasn't here. :)

Synopsis:

Jiang Nuan goes with a friend to sit in on a class at the First University. She only means to gather material for her new book, but unexpectedly meets the young visiting professor who has gone viral online.

The man wears gold-rimmed glasses. His features seem to hold ice and snow, and his voice is cool and deep.

There's also a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads around his wrist. So restrained, and all the more alluring for it.

At just one glance, the drowsy Jiang Nuan sits bolt upright.

This is exactly the kind of handsome guy she's into!

So Jiang Nuan finds all sorts of excuses to stay by Tan Yu's side. In public, it's "Good morning, Professor." In private, it's "Hey, handsome." She pursues him for a full three months.

Who could have guessed that this Buddha wouldn't be tempted by earthly desires, and was also an ice block that couldn't be warmed?

Jiang Nuan gets disheartened and winds up getting drunk.

After crying her heart out, she wipes away her tears.

What's the use of a man? Isn't he even better as material for a book?

Three months later, Jiang Nuan's new book becomes a hit and shoots to the top of the sales charts.

At the book launch, the host asks how she came up with such a pure and desireless male lead.

Jiang Nuan: "You'll find a beautiful man in every book."

Then the "beautiful man" shows up at her door.

"You flirted with me, used me, and then dumped me? Who gave you the nerve?"

"I don't date Buddhas."

A Buddha?

Tan Yu chuckles.

He loosens his tie, a defiant look crossing his face for the first time, and casually lifts her pale chin.

"So you like them wild."

"Good. Then I won't have to pretend anymore."

Jiang Nuan: "???"
