Let Me Be a Little Clingy

After dating Rong Li for a while, Zhong Yining started to feel a little lovesick. Her boyfriend was almost too perfect, always indulging her, and it made the whole thing feel unreal.

After thinking it over carefully, she chose to end things amicably.

Later, after Zhong Yining graduated from college, a man confessed his feelings and proposed to her. She rejected him outright.

Humiliated and furious, he told her she had the face of a husband-killer, and that any man who married her would be doomed to die within a month.

A week later, during a well-known financial news program, the host went off topic and started gossiping with this episode's guest, Mr. Rong, about his love life.

Rong Li: "I've been married for two years. I want to tell the classmate who said I wouldn't last a month that I'm doing just fine."

Everyone: ??????

Seeking readers for "Living Together"

Before meeting Qiao Qiao, Wu Lu had no idea he couldn't resist cute girls.

(Full manuscript completed)

After graduating, Qiao Qiao smoothly entered the workforce. At first, she was a polished young woman with her hair in a bun, but less than half a year of the early mornings and late nights of office life had worn down her edges.

Then her new boss took up his post.

Her coworkers exclaimed that he was so handsome.

Qiao Qiao pushed up her high-prescription glasses and saw the handsome new boss. She felt like she had a chance again.

Keeping her head low behind her computer, she quickly put on a bright, lively shade of lipstick.

Then she messaged her best friend, playfully declaring on WeChat: I'm in love. I've fallen for our department manager. I hereby claim him as mine. Next, I'm going to pursue him from every angle.

Her best friend immediately took a screenshot and posted it to Moments to cheer her on.

To cut down on her commute, Qiao Qiao was left with no other option but to accept her best friend's introduction and prepare to live under the same roof as her new boss.

She knocked on the door, steeled herself, and held out her hand to the man. "Manager, here's to a pleasant living arrangement."

Wu Lu gave her palm a perfunctory slap.

Later, it was Wu Lu who held out his hand. His brown eyes lowered as he watched Qiao Qiao struggle to keep her sleepy eyes open. His thumb repeatedly stroked the vein on the back of her hand until the skin grew red and hot.

"Manager Qiao, do you still want me to be yours?"

The dawn light filtering in was still faint. Qiao Qiao mumbled that the marriage bureau was only a ten-minute walk away. What was the rush?
