Stealing a Kiss from the Rose

The main story is complete. My next book will be I Bet You Like It Too. Thank you so much for supporting the official release.

At the beginning of summer, a daughter of one of Xie Fu's longtime friends was invited back to China to take up a specially appointed position as a music professor at Fu University.

A week later, Xie Xunyi's home had gained an expensive custom-made piano and a little Chinese-French girl who spoke Chinese fairly well but had an extremely limited vocabulary.

The little girl was sweet, well-behaved, and beautiful, but Xie Xunyi still found her troublesome.

He thought the little doll made too much noise when she played piano, had a little too much romance in her bones, and challenged his professional instincts around the clock with her broken Chinese.

But half a year later, when the little doll was about to leave, Xie Xunyi found that things had become even more troublesome.

The house was too quiet without the piano. Rainy days without French folk songs felt so damp they made him irritable. Mornings without someone praising his looks until his face turned red left him unable to summon any energy.

"You're leaving?" He furrowed his brow. "Have you finished memorizing your Xinhua Dictionary?"

Xie Qiang looked horrified. "But, big brother, my work visa has expired."

"It's true that work visas don't last long enough."

Xie Xunyi pondered for a moment. "So, would you consider finding another way to stay in China?"
