[The next book is now underway: One Beat, Three Harmonies, a story about having a child before falling in love] [This story is complete: petite beauty tenant x cold, rugged landlord] 1. A rumor has been going around Huaxin Group lately: Zhao Yanxi, the female team leader in Risk Management, has her eye on the new special assistant, Li Xingyan. The proof? She brings him breakfast every morning, and only him. She knows what he likes, and one early morning someone even saw her ride her little electric scooter three intersections away to buy his favorite buns, even though there was a breakfast shop right downstairs from her place. If that isn't enough, she always sneaks glances at the man sitting next to her at work. She must like him at least a little, right? 2. The first time they fought over office space, Zhao Yanxi was standing on an office chair, putting books away on a shelf. The man who walked in had sharp, cold features, and could lift her down from her perch with one arm. Forcing down her nerves, she said, "This is the Risk Management Department's office. Even if the Relocation Team moves in, it's still mine." Li Xingyan looked down at her, his face nearly lost in the shadows cast by the overhead light. The long, elegant finger wearing a gemstone ring looked sensual as he gave her a faint, cool smile. His deep voice teased, "So does that mean I'm yours, too?" The first time they fought over a house, the man was sleeping downstairs, a bloodstained bandage lying on the sheets. She went in to treat his wound, and his heavy gaze settled on her. "Aren't you afraid?" Zhao Yanxi lowered her lashes and pretended to be calm, though her fingertips trembled as they traced the contours beneath his shirt. "It's not like I haven't seen it before." In public, she and Li Xingyan maintained a boss-and-subordinate relationship. In private, they went home together, and even their landlady never caught on. That is, until his mother knocked on the door one night. Seeing her flustered, he slipped an arm around her waist and said in the darkness, his voice full of amusement, "Hide. Unless you want to be my future wife." *He fell for her first *Calm, self-controlled colleagues by day, mature and uninhibited lovers by night *Both are each other's first and only --The next book, One Beat, Three Harmonies, is now underway. Come read it on my author page!-- [Muscular man x heroine whose love starts mild and grows passionate] One evening, a little boy came home from grocery shopping and found a tall, broad-shouldered man standing by the door. The man asked, "Where's your mom?" The little boy took Xiao Yanchuan to pick his mom up from work. As his mother, dressed in a qipao, approached from afar, he called out in his sweet little voice, "Mom, your dead husband is back!" Beside a glossy black SUV stood a towering man whose arm muscles strained against the sleeves of his black T-shirt. Lin Zhaoxi's first reaction wasn't excitement, but worry. Their home had only two bedrooms, and the little one was already occupied by her remarkably mature three-and-a-half-year-old son, who could do laundry and buy groceries. How was she supposed to host a husband she barely knew? - Theme: She boldly sets out on the road to freedom.
