I Heard I'm Your Partner

Completed. Short story.

-Next up: "Hidden Tenderness," now open for preorders-

Blurb:

Shen Nianzhao was just about to say yes to a guy who'd been pursuing her for ages when she found out he already had a girlfriend.

After blocking the jerk at lightning speed, she decided to follow the plot of a novel and go after his maternal uncle, determined to make the jerk behave and call her Auntie.

But once she found out who his uncle was, she only dared to daydream about it. -0-

Later, to avoid her parents asking about her love life, Shen Nianzhao sent them a photo of herself with her "partner" to get them off her back.

To her surprise, the person in the photo showed up at her door.

Fu Chengyun: "I hear I'm your partner?"

Shen Nianzhao: ...Help! How did he find out!

Fu Chengyun: "I hear you want him to call you Auntie?"

Shen Nianzhao: ...!

"Go date his maternal uncle, then turn around and make him call me Auntie."

The comment went viral, and screenshots were reposted by all kinds of accounts.

"Sorry, I made that up, and the other person involved found out..."

Onlookers: ?

Some time later, the account updated again:

"I'm the other person involved. Thanks, everyone. We're really together now."

A genius musical theater actress at Juilliard x a domineering gaming company CEO

One-on-one, both leads are inexperienced. Small age gap, but the male lead is from an older generation.

The female lead never dated the person who pursued her; she only had a slight crush on him.

Not set in the entertainment industry.

Next up, a story about the older brother: "Hidden Tenderness":

Shen Yan is a born winner. Ever since he was a child, appearing on variety shows with his parents, he already had the aura of a domineering CEO.

When he grew up, he really did become one. His company was called Yanqing Group.

Everyone thought the name meant "peace in the land and calm seas."

Only he knew

that the "Qing" was the name he'd whispered in his heart through countless nights.
