While waiting three minutes for her instant noodles, Qi Yue opened Weibo to kill time, scrolling without much interest.

Her fingers suddenly stopped.

On the screen was a picture of her ex-boyfriend holding a newborn, with the caption: Introducing the newest member of our family, Little Cream Puff!

Qi Yue slurped up a mouthful of softened noodles,

quietly turned off her phone,

and thought: He's doing pretty well...

Their once heart-wrenching romance ended in a breakup.

Qi Yue was the one who called it off. She still remembered Sheng Yan staring at her before suddenly smiling and saying, "Fine!"

Then he turned and walked away without looking back.

She saw Sheng Yan again in an elevator.

He was carrying a bag of baby supplies.

They stood one behind the other, like two strangers with nothing to do with each other.

Later, beneath a dim streetlight at night, he pulled Qi Yue into his arms and buried his face in the crook of her neck.

His voice carried a rare note of hurt. "Lele, you don't even reply to my messages..."

Upcoming novel 1:

[After Posting a Listing on the Seafood Market]

Female lead's perspective:

With the new year approaching, everything was going wrong. Han Xiao was suddenly called in for a meeting with her boss.

In the first week after being laid off, Han Xiao comforted herself: It's fine, it's fine. I'll just take a vacation;

In the second week, every resume she sent out disappeared without a trace;

In the third week, her landlord came to collect the rent.

After transferring three months' rent to her landlord, Han Xiao looked at the three-digit balance in her account and quietly posted a listing on the Seafood Market:

Cat neutering. Will cooperate with your act. Cheap, only 30 yuan per session.

That night, a buyer messaged her.

[How good are you at acting?]

Han Xiao replied instantly: [A total professional!]

Male lead's perspective:

People say this world is falling apart and cats are holding it together*, but Zhou Yang scoffed at that.

His little Mao Mao was always giving him attitude, arching her back, puffing up, hissing, and lashing her tail whenever she got upset.

Huajuan's love life had been put off again and again. Then, after she found a partner, Zhou Yang told himself: This can't be put off any longer.

Faced with a choice between being abused by Huajuan and doing nothing, Zhou Yang chose to find a "cat-napping villain" on the Seafood Market.

Outside the pet hospital, Zhou Yang raised his eyes and sized up the "villain" in front of him. His voice was teasing. "Old classmate, nice acting."

Han Xiao rolled her eyes, the corners of her mouth curling up. "Old classmate, leave me a good review."

Upcoming novel 2:

[The Sunset Holds a Thought]

Blurb:

When Cen Yuanyi pushed Sang Yu's wheelchair into the room, she narrowed her eyes.

The little west-facing room was hot, glaring, cramped, and shabby.

An air conditioner in an unknown upstairs apartment was dripping water. Drip, drip. It hit the metal frame on the balcony, grating on her nerves.

"I absolutely will not live in a place like this." Sang Yu looked up, stubbornly meeting Cen Yuanyi's eyes.

Cen Yuanyi's expression was cool. He bent down to pick up the thin blanket that had slipped to the floor, brushed off the dust, and draped it over her legs again.

"Don't worry. If you want to leave, I won't force you to stay."

"When we first met, I was lying in a hospital bed, looking out the window. The sun was setting in the west, and dusk was falling. I was helpless and despairing. Then he came. His features were stern, and all he said was, 'Come with me.'"

"From autumn to spring, from strangers to understanding each other, I haven't been walking this long road alone."

Upcoming novel 3:

[Today Is Not a Good Day for a Blind Date: Getting Back Together After a Breakup]

Blurb:

In a private room, Mom kept reminiscing with her old classmate, Auntie Xu.

Zhen Lu had been dragged here against her will, and she grumbled inwardly: If you're catching up, why bring me along?

She couldn't join in the conversation between the two elders, so she could only sit there awkwardly,

answering half-heartedly whenever they asked her something.

"Does Xiao Zhen have a boyfriend?" Auntie Xu asked, apparently casually.

"Not yet." Her mother shot Zhen Lu a sidelong glance, her voice full of exasperation. "Young people these days have a mind of their own."

Auntie Xu replied with a meaningful look. "Our Xiao Ce is the same. We can't control him either."

Zhen Lu lowered her head without speaking. Uncomfortably, she lifted her teacup and took a sip.

The door to the private room opened, and a waiter led a man inside.

"Sorry, something held me up." The man wore a dark gray shirt, with a black jacket casually draped over his arm. He seemed even more upright than before.

After all these years apart, Zhen Lu never expected to have anything to do with Jiang Chengshen again.

Auntie Xu introduced him, saying that the woman sitting next to Auntie Lu was her daughter, Zhen Lu, and that the young woman worked in Qiantan, so the two of them would probably run into each other often.

Jiang Chengshen was as much of a jerk as ever. He held out his hand to her. "Jiang Chengshen. I look forward to working with you."
