Waiting to Bloom with Love

[New novel: Stealing My Ex's New Love's Boss, main story complete]

Blurb:

At a Ruize alumni reunion, someone asked Lin You, "The news keeps saying you and Gu Xi are the twin stars of the industry, locked in a bitter rivalry, and destined to clash one day. I doubt any of them know how inseparable you were in high school. By the way, have you seen each other since she came back to the country?"

Lin You ran a finger over the watch face she had worn for eight years and said coolly, "No."

The person added, "Gu Xi was incredibly busy, but when we told her you were here, she came."

Just then, Gu Xi pushed open the door. "Sorry I'm late."

Gu Xi and Lin You's eyes met unexpectedly.

Looking at Gu Xi, who had outgrown her youthful awkwardness and become even more mature and captivating, Lin You thought of last night's kiss, and of the secret that only the two of them knew about, from that room when they were eighteen.

A light chasing-your-wife-to-the-crematorium story, with the one in the submissive role pursuing the one in the dominant role.

1.

The first time Shen Wu met Pei Boyan, she was washing blood off her hands. A flushed woman in a strange, feverish state plunged into her arms and begged for help.

Shen Wu, a cigarette between her lips, narrowed her eyes and looked at the hand clutching her bloodstained collar. She wondered whether this beautiful woman, flawless down to every strand of hair, realized that she herself might not look like an upstanding person either.

But she still saved Pei Boyan.

Because of what Pei Boyan said.

Drugged, Pei Boyan knew perfectly well that the cold, beautiful woman in front of her was no good. But her legs were so weak she could barely stand, and she had no choice but to clutch the woman's clothes. At the same time, she discovered the woman's secret.

"Save me. The Pei family will pay you whatever you want."

The drug made Pei Boyan's eyes redden at the corners, and she was close to losing control, but her voice remained cold.

Shen Wu wasn't interested in the Pei family's money. She wanted Pei Boyan herself, and the Pei family's overwhelming influence in Hong Kong.

2.

Pei Boyan was the cherished daughter of the wealthiest family in Hong Kong. Everyone knew this eldest young lady was cool and aloof, with an even colder temperament. A darling of heaven, she was always surrounded by admirers, yet she kept showing up at an old tenement building in Sham Shui Po.

There was no elevator, and Pei Boyan never let her bodyguards come up with her.

On the narrow single bed, the old but spotless sheets were crumpled into gorgeous patterns again and again. The hollow of Pei Boyan's waist stood out against her beautiful back, damp with sweat.

Afterward, she picked up Shen Wu's Marlboros, casually took one out, and held it between her beautiful fingers.

Shen Wu snatched the cigarette away and gripped her chin. "Don't touch things carelessly."

Pei Boyan rolled over. The blanket slipped away, and she nonchalantly bent her long legs, resting the tip of her foot on Shen Wu's shoulder. She smirked mockingly.

"We've touched each other. Why can't I touch your things?"
