Scalding Warm Water

[Completed. Next book: Cold Desire]

The year Wen Yan turned eighteen, she got into Yanqing University.

She never expected to start dating in her freshman year, but then she met Fu Lanzhuo, CEO of Yaoheng Group.

At their first meeting, Fu Lanzhuo was rather cool and detached.

But a little over half a month later, he confessed to her.

You could call them a whirlwind romance.

People kept saying their relationship wouldn't last because they were so different in every way. But on the day Wen Yan turned twenty, the legal age for marriage, Fu Lanzhuo took her to get their marriage license.

*

One day, Fu Lanzhuo came to pick Wen Yan up from class as usual. Their relationship had long since become the talk of the school.

Someone raised a phone, hoping to capture something.

But as soon as Wen Yan got into the car, the window rolled up.

They couldn't record or see how the man inside leaned in to kiss Wen Yan, slowly savoring her lips.

Fu Lanzhuo had just returned from a business trip. After several days apart, he finally got his fill of kissing her. His voice was deep and husky. "Did you miss me, baby?"

--Next book: Cold Desire--

Luo Ling is breathtakingly beautiful, with a pure face and a slender, youthful figure. She looks clean and harmless, and when Jin Beixiao first met her, he thought so too.

When his close friend said he wanted to pursue her, Jin Beixiao replied with cool amusement, "Why are you into that type?"

But that very same day...

Jin Beixiao saw Luo Ling change into an ice-blue racing suit and climb into a supercar, helmet in hand.

It was the China GT Zhuhai leg of the racing series.

From a private platinum VIP lounge on the second floor, Jin Beixiao watched the ice-blue car speed down the track and take first place by a huge margin.

After the race, Jin Beixiao went to the drivers' paddock to find Luo Ling.

Luo Ling looked at him with interest and invited him to dinner.

Jin Beixiao readily agreed.

At the table, he wanted to add Luo Ling on WeChat, but she refused.

Then she left coldly after dinner.

Later, Jin Beixiao found out that Luo Ling had a fiance.

Still, he paid a high price for the night's final auction item at a charity gala hosted by her father.

A week later, Jin Beixiao bought the equestrian estate Luo Ling often visited.

In the top-floor tea room overlooking the grounds, Luo Ling kissed him.

Jin Beixiao wanted Luo Ling to take responsibility and change her fiance.

But Luo Ling only smiled faintly. "Mr. Jin, that was just a game."

Later, he heard that Luo Ling planned to get back together with her ex-boyfriend.

Jin Beixiao had her taken onto a helicopter.

He kissed her for a long time, breathing heavily. His voice fell against Luo Ling's ear, tinged with pleading. "As long as you don't leave me, what's mine is yours. I'll let the past go."

He understood her schemes and how she used him, yet he was perfectly content with it.

More than any of that, all he cared about was her heart.

Flirtatious, sweet-on-the-outside and calculating-within, career-minded heroine x powerful, pure-hearted CEO

"If you're going to bait me, see it through."

"Luo Ling, I'm all yours to play with."
