The Big Client Is Actually My Partner

[Updates are expected to resume next week, barring any surprises. Thank you so much to everyone who’s still looking forward to them! 5.7]

Xu Yi and Lin Siran grew up together and have always been close. They’re planning to get engaged this year.

While away on a business trip, Xu Yi receives a location pin from a villa community, followed by a text from his dad: The marital home is ready. You handle the renovations. Son, you can bring your wife home, but your happiness is up to you.

He taps the screen a few times and replies, "Got it."

The next day, Lin Siran gets her first major project since joining the company: designing the interior of a private client's detached villa. Apparently, the client is a regular, and not only is he sharp-tongued, but he also has sky-high standards. Even several veteran designers are complaining that working with him is a nightmare. But he pays so well!

"Short scene"

At a meeting to discuss the plans, Lin Siran sees Xu Yi smiling at her. She decides to mess with him and deliberately rejects the design: "Why go for a minimalist style? Wouldn't Hello Kitty be better? Wouldn't a sweet little pink kitten create a much more saccharine atmosphere?"

To her surprise, Xu Yi doesn't even blink. "That makes a lot of sense."

As everyone stares in shock, Xu Yi quickly signs off on the design. They all wonder if Lin Siran must be involved with Xu Yi to win over such a big client so easily. But what they don't realize is...

That night, Xu Yi, fresh from his shower and blushing, leans against the desk and watches Lin Siran type. He asks eagerly, "My sweet little kitten, I did so well this morning. Aren't you going to reward me?"

* The male lead is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

By day, he dominates the workplace, mewling every other word.

At home, he whines and coos, calling his wife "darling" at every turn.

Please forgive this beginner's many writing bugs. (Fist bump)
