[Upcoming novel, please add it to your reading list!]
Pei Xiling is a CEO who's secretly an introvert. He seems cold, ruthless, and impossible to argue with, but in reality, he's a shy, awkward newlywed.
It's just that no one at the company knows he's married.
At a company banquet, his subordinates invite him for a drink. Pei Xiling: "I don't drink."
His friends introduce him to beautiful women, each more alluring than the last. Pei Xiling: "I'm not interested in women."
Everyone thinks he's a cold-hearted tyrant who has no regard for anyone, but Pei Xiling knows he isn't lying.
His beautiful spouse is a man and a CEO, too. Unlike Pei Xiling, his beautiful husband seems warm and gentle on the outside, but inside, he's an aloof flower on a high, icy peak.
Pei Xiling doesn't know how to reach his husband's heart, so for three years of marriage, they've maintained a superficially harmonious relationship without trying to take things further.
Until one day, his husband's car goes over a cliff.
When Pei Xiling arrives at the hospital, his husband is curled up in the hospital bed, his small face deathly pale as he looks at him helplessly, trembling.
At that moment, Pei Xiling feels his inner devoted-husband instincts awaken.
-
Lin Nai has lost his memory. When he wakes up, he remembers nothing except the wedding ring on his hand.
Looking at Pei Xiling, who claims to be his husband, Lin Nai follows his instincts. When the other man comes close, he quietly reaches out and carefully wraps his arms around his neck.
Pei Xiling, who hasn't been intimate with him in three years, stiffens for a moment, then tightly embraces the person in his arms.
He nearly squeezes Lin Nai to death.
Lin Nai has figured it out: the taciturn, stone-cold CEO with an impressively muscular chest is a devoted husband through and through.
In that case, Lin "Green Tea" Nai runs his tongue over the tips of his teeth and smiles.
"Hubby," he says sweetly, "could I have a kiss?"
Then he points to the impressive muscles on the other man's chest. "With this."
Pei Xiling: ???
That night, someone posts anonymously on a Q&A site:
#What should I do if my wife suddenly gets all sweet and clingy overnight?
A top comment: You lucky bastard. Your good days are just beginning.
