By then, they had been married for a year. Shen Min was the foremost young master in Jing City, born into an illustrious family and discreet in his ways. He was a leading financier in New York's financial world. The black Bentley Continental GT parked by the roadside, with its memorable license plate, was impossible to miss. Sheng Chu tacitly pretended not to see it and kept walking. “This is President Shen. I'm sure Miss Sheng has heard of him,” the client said, getting out with an umbrella and making the introduction with admirable tact. Sheng Chu steeled herself and met his gaze. “Hello, President Shen. I've heard a lot about you.” “Have you? What have you heard?” Shen Min looked distractedly at her rain-soaked shoulder. The client relaxed and hinted, “It's pouring. Miss Sheng, why don't you come to the hotel with me so we can talk?” Shen Min watched lazily as the two of them walked into the hotel together. 2 That night, the client called to ask whether she had gotten home safely. Her phone buzzed incessantly on the floor of the hotel suite. Shen Min held her folded up in his arms. His suit jacket was cold against her skin, and he had her restrained so she couldn't move. He had always been domineering with her. Shen Min carried her off to bathe and gave her a glass of water. He picked up her phone and answered it, speaking with an amused smile. “I took care of that for you, Mrs. Shen.” “You probably don't have time to entertain him.” The man on the other end went deathly pale. Hearing her muffled response, he trembled with anger and spat out a single word: “Get lost.” 3 Before they married, Sheng Chu had already expected it. Married life was like being a puppet on strings, and she and Shen Min treated each other with courteous respect. At work, they acted as if they didn't know each other. At home, they were loving spouses, seemingly devoted to one another. Looking back, Sheng Chu realized that the vase she bought always held fresh flowers, and that on snowy winter nights, a tall man would stand outside McDonald's, his back to her, amusing himself by teasing her dog. He wrapped his coat around her, frowned, and scolded her. “Aren't you cold? Come closer.” There were countless such things, too many to list. She had no idea when their relationship went off course, or when it had grown so long and deep. Ages 22 and 27, five-year age gap. 1v1, both leads have no prior sexual experience.

Her cheeks were flushed as she blinked and smiled. She lowered her head and sent two of the photos using AirDrop, then turned to ask if the other person had received them. He Yun sat opposite her, gripping his phone and looking distracted. His eyes were on her. “Xu Shiyi, are you okay with this?” Xu Shiyi turned back, bewildered, and looked at He Yun, who hadn't said a word since entering the private room. Only then did she realize what was going on. The penalty for losing the game was a kiss. - Xu Shiyi had always thought that a carefree young master like He Yun had only agreed to date her back then because he was kindhearted. Later, she dumped him without a second thought and got cursed out eight hundred times by all his friends. She still remembered how, on the day she prepared to break up with him, she spent the whole night struggling to rehearse what to say. “My mom says she wants to find me a healthy man to marry,” Xu Shiyi said sheepishly, as someone gripped the back of her neck. “Shallow.” He Yun tossed out the criticism, then suddenly raised his head. “Are you really going to marry him?” He paused, then narrowed his eyes. “Did you not get a good look last night?” The eight hundred curses were a lie. His friends really were urging him to win her back and get back together, even if he had to grovel. They get back together right from the start. #The pursuer is slower to warm up than the one being pursued #Flirty guy x slow-and-steady girl who can drive you up the wall (probably) The blurb may be revised.
