Li Chu stood by the airport's glass wall. The enormous panes reflected the icy snowlight as her gaze pierced the crowd and landed precisely on a tall, handsome man surrounded by people. She thought, On this long, snowy night, perhaps they could find another way to keep warm. - On the thick cashmere carpet, Li Chu's lips and brows were tinted with alluring color. She was like a demoness appearing at midnight, yet even better at getting under a man's skin. Her slender fingers caressed the man's jaw, then slid down to circle his neck. "Want to have a limited-time romance with me?" Xie Qingyan's voice, low and steady, broke the silence. "Until when?" Until when? Li Chu glanced at the snow swirling outside and made up an answer on the spot. "Until this blizzard stops." Later, as Xie Qingyan held Li Chu's chin and made her look down at the Moscow snow, he whispered hotly in her ear, "If wishes worked, I'd wish for this blizzard to never stop." 2. The Xie family was one of the city's most prominent clans. The old master was critically ill, and the younger generation had plunged into a generational battle over the family fortune. It became the talk of the town. The Xie family's second son, Xie Qingyan, who had made waves on Wall Street, returned to the country overnight. Everyone assumed he had come back to fight for the inheritance. Little did they know that while the Xie family staged visits to the old master for the news cameras, Xie Qingyan never showed up. One day, a descendant of the Xie family was reported sobbing beside the old master's hospital bed, and the media made a huge fuss over it. At the same time, on a bridge across the river, Xie Qingyan strolled along behind a drunk Li Chu, one hand in his pocket and a pair of high heels dangling from the other. Li Chu kicked off her shoes, and he picked them up. She threw away her scarf, and he retrieved it. He did it all without complaint, his face full of indulgence. When Li Chu reached to take off her dress, he wrapped her in his coat and shielded her from the cameras. "Your Highness, if you take off any more, you'll end up in the news." Later, after the old master passed away, Xie Qingyan refused his inheritance. When asked about it, he replied lightly, "Li Chu doesn't like the Xie family."
