Twilight in Disgrace

[Complete] [Please leave a five-star review~ Weibo: @Xu Zhi Loves to Ramble] [My other novel, Two by Two in Winter, is now available. Please add it to your collection =3=] Blurb [Sweet tenant girl vs. rugged fake landlord] [Build difference / height difference / skin tone difference] On the first day Sang Mu moved into her new home, someone knocked on the door of her rental. The man wore a simple black T-shirt, had a close-cropped haircut, and looked fierce and roguish. He lowered his head, speaking in a casual tone. “Neighbor, let's talk.” “Consider moving out.” “This place isn't safe. It's haunted.” “...” Before Sang Mu signed the lease, the landlord told her that her son lived next door and that she'd be better off keeping her distance. Later, she finally understood why the landlord had said that. This guy was a shameless flirt who couldn't keep his hands to himself. A girl moved in next door to Xing Zhou. She looked gentle and sweet, exactly the sort of girl his mother liked. But he didn't like her. Having her as a neighbor was like having a spy living nearby, reporting back to his mother. What could he do? Get rid of her, of course. - At the landlord's request, Sang Mu reluctantly went to Xing Zhou's auto shop to find him. From a little way off, she spotted the man at once. The same old black T-shirt. Broad shoulders, taut muscles across his back, and sweat running down the lines of his arms. When the man turned around, Sang Mu clearly saw the black smudge on his face, making him look even more menacing. Sang Mu put down what she was carrying and turned to run, nearly tripping over a tool on the ground. Xing Zhou caught her by the arm. He barely used any force, yet a red mark had already appeared. Seeing the fear in Sang Mu's eyes, Xing Zhou frowned in annoyance. “What, did you see a ghost? Watch where you're going.” - When her lease expired, Sang Mu planned to pack up and leave. Xing Zhou blocked the doorway, holding on to her suitcase. “Where are you going?” Sang Mu: “Weren't you always trying to make me move out?” Xing Zhou felt a knot in his chest. He'd really managed to make himself miserable. “You can leave, but only if you move in with me.” At that, Sang Mu looked past him at the room with only one bed. “...” Now Sang Mu finally knew which ghost Xing Zhou had meant when he said the place was haunted.

The man lowered his eyes and leaned in, about to kiss her. Just as things turned intimate, Li Yuezhen noticed a scorching gaze fixed on her. She instinctively looked up, searching for its source. The person stood right behind her boyfriend. The following day, Li Yuezhen interviewed He Xun, the president of the He Group, who had only recently returned to the country, for the Zhou Post. President He usually lived abroad and rarely appeared in public. Other than his surname, there was no information available about him. Reunited with someone from her past, He Xun was now impeccably dressed in a suit, utterly unlike the penniless man he'd once been. Li Yuezhen watched her boyfriend clasp hands with him, then looked past her boyfriend's shoulder and calmly met He Xun's stare. During the interview, Li Yuezhen followed her questions and asked, “The media have speculated about your reasons for returning, and opinions vary. Can you give us a definite answer, President He?” He Xun looked at her, his smile chilling. “To steal someone.” Late at night, Li Yuezhen braced both hands against the headboard, the crescent-shaped birthmark on her shoulder blades jolting into disarray. “He Xun...” Li Yuezhen turned and grabbed his hair without mercy, but He Xun followed the pull and kissed her. Outside, a storm raged. He Xun leaned close to her ear. “I got what I came for.” Reunion after a long separation / rekindled romance / healing One-on-one | Happy ending Theme: Work hard and stay positive.
