I Won’t Give In to Soft or Hard Tactics, I’ll Only Give In to You

After breaking up with her ex, Song Xiaqing couldn't get her to leave her alone.

When they ran into each other at a bar yet again, Song Xiaqing didn't think twice before grabbing a random "human shield" from the booth next door.

"Sorry, I have a girlfriend."

Song Xiaqing's eyes sparkled as she gave her "human shield" a radiant smile.

The next day, with her head splitting from a hangover, Song Xiaqing reported to her new company. The administrator led her through the gates and into an elevator, where she came face-to-face with last night's "human shield."

Song Xiaqing was stunned, but the next second she heard the administrator escorting her say, respectfully, "Good morning, President Shen."

Caught by the woman's amused, knowing gaze, Song Xiaqing choked and coughed softly in the elevator.

The gorgeous fox who had come out to her new boss's face last night instantly transformed into a well-behaved little bunny.

When Shen Qiu called on her during meetings, she chimed in obediently. At the office, she kept her eyes lowered and smiled with an innocent, natural air.

But... perhaps the alcohol had worn off, because after a while, Song Xiaqing found Shen Qiu even more captivating than she had seemed before Song got drunk.

The little fox could no longer keep her tail hidden. She found excuses to get close to Shen Qiu, tested the waters, and couldn't keep her gaze from burning into her during meetings.

One night, back at the bar again, her friends crowded around her, gossiping.

Song Xiaqing's eyes curved into crescents. She leaned back into the booth's velvet sofa and sighed, "She's gorgeous, but she won't give an inch."

Later, in the deep night, a drizzle fell outside the window. A dark silhouette loomed over her, enveloping her as Shen Qiu looked down at her, her eyes soft.

Warm fingertips brushed her skin. Shen Qiu leaned down and whispered in her ear, "That depends on what's being served up to me."

If it's you, I'm definitely eating you up.
