Drowning Dog

Mutual salvation | A twist of fate | Lots and lots of fluffy animals Yu Wanyi met Xi Lang on a rainy day. She chased the stray cat she had just adopted into a dark alley, where she came across him. Taking pity on him, she left her umbrella and some bread behind. The second time she saw Xi Lang was in that same alley. The man saved her and got hurt, but refused to go to the hospital. He was also pitifully homeless, so she had no choice but to take him in. He was seven years older than her, with a fierce, intimidating air. No matter how she looked at him, he didn't seem easy to get along with. She should have avoided a man like him at all costs, but one confused night, drunk after a breakup, they held each other tight and lost themselves in a passionate embrace. At dawn, as the sky cleared, the first thing she saw was Xi Lang's smiling eyes. The man's voice was hoarse. His fingers traced her lips, his words unmistakably intimate. "Wanyi... mine, Wanyi." Looking at Yu Wanyi's flustered face, perhaps only Xi Lang knew how many times he had gritted his teeth and answered to that unfamiliar name. * Later, when she saw countless people coming to Xi Lang for help, Yu Wanyi finally learned that the bad dog she had taken in was one of the top traders in the financial world. Gold, futures, stocks, and countless powerful people desperate for his help. As long as he wanted something, it would all come to him. But Xi Lang usually rejected their requests coldly: "I need to scoop my wife's cat litter." "I need to cook for my wife's dog." With no other option, those people approached Yu Wanyi instead, hoping she'd use pillow talk to convince Xi Lang to return to the trading floor. She had accepted a hefty investment sponsorship and hesitated, unsure how to bring it up with Xi Lang. The night was alluring, the moonlight bright. Yu Wanyi traced circles on his chest with her fingertip, her voice impossibly soft. "They say you're the best trader." Xi Lang clasped her hand. The scent of her perfume drifted into his nose, and their breaths mingled. "I don't like trading." The man pinned Yu Wanyi beneath him, like a vicious dog freed from its collar. "I only want to trade you." Xi Lang was a born prodigy, famous from a young age and once the best trader around. But just as he reached the top, he was framed and sent to prison. His parents died of illness, and he fell from the peak into the abyss. But one second before he began to hate the world, someone held an umbrella over him and chose him without reservation. A polished, calculating trader x a kind-hearted, gentle animal rescuer Reading Guide: The male lead is calculating. He steals the heroine away from someone else and isn't a gentleman; he takes advantage of her vulnerability. He's good at pretending and acting, and he has a strong fist. He'll stop at nothing to get what he wants. The men in novels can be picked up, but you can't do that in real life! Breaking up someone else's relationship is wrong!! Saving someone is hard. Don't take pity on men too easily. Take more pity on yourself!!! Lastly, enjoy~ Theme: Be kind and live positively; the best person will come along to love you.
