I Want You

In the second year of their marriage, Xiang Yao's company is acquired because it has run out of funds.

The new owners send in a director to reorganize the company.

On the director's first day, all her colleagues praise his impressive education and good looks.

But Xiang Yao is called into his office.

Xie Qinglin sits in his office chair, tapping his fingers on the desk. Looking at the wife he hasn't seen in a long time, he speaks in a restrained, distant yet gentle voice: "I hope we can keep our relationship private."

Xiang Yao obediently agrees. "All right."

Later, a new intern joins the company and is always hovering around Xiang Yao.

He gives her chocolates and roses every day, and even when she turns him down, he keeps expressing his love for her without fail.

Xie Qinglin happens to see one of his confessions. His expression is calm as he stresses, "Office romances aren't allowed at this company."

The next second, in front of everyone, he reaches out, takes Xiang Yao by the hand, and leads her into his office.

Xie Qinglin cages her between his arms and looks down at her. "Remember, you're a married woman."

Xiang Yao blinks and smiles innocently. "I know, Mr. Xie. Are you planning to reveal our relationship?"

Before he can nod, the woman who was just smiling brightly suddenly changes expression and gives him a shove.

"Sorry, but I refuse."

Xie Qinglin: ...

What should a husband do when his wife is mad at him?

I'm in a bit of a hurry here.

Blurb for Can't Escape

After years in the entertainment industry, Ni Yan has nothing.

She accidentally learns that the mysterious owner of Xingyi Media, the company behind countless top-tier stars, is Ren Siyan, the leading man who often appears in gossip headlines.

She trades her usual understated makeup for bright red lipstick and sexy curls.

Her plan is to lure him in.

They first meet at a banquet.

Ni Yan is holding a glass of red wine when she passes him and slaps him outright.

Afterward, she covers her mouth and pretends to be horrified. "I'm sorry, sir, I mistook you for my scumbag ex-boyfriend."

Ren Siyan runs his tongue along his cheek. The faint imprint of five fingers looks even more seductive under the lights. A chuckle escapes him. "I'm willing to play along."

In the end, Ren Siyan becomes one of those men chasing their wives through a long road of regret.
