Passing Shower

[Main story complete] It was an ordinary evening. Jiang Bowen had gotten into a fight defending her, and the story was making the rounds. Some said they were dating; others said she had seduced him, hoping to marry into a better family. Lin Yi'an earned every cent of her million-a-year tutoring fee, diligently keeping him company as he studied. In the orange-red evening glow, their eyes met for the third time. She was the first to lose her composure. "Can't you control yourself?" "Control what? Falling for you?" He spun his pen carelessly and wrote down the answer to a problem. "Miss Lam, if your heart doesn't beat, you're dead."

Coming soon: Filling the Void The day Ni Mi found out she was pregnant was the seventh anniversary of her relationship with Duan Youkai. "Relationship" wasn't quite the right word. They were merely having an affair in secret. By daybreak, they were a poised, sophisticated secretary and the heir to a financial empire, subordinate and boss, with a clear line between them. After another night together, Ni Mi lay awake, watching the man sleeping beside her. She began selling off her cars, homes, jewelry, and designer handbags, and emailed him her resignation letter. "Are you sure you want to leave?" he asked. His right hand trembled as he lit a cigarette, his fury ready to erupt. "Ni Mi, I gave you resources and connections, helped you sort out all those messes, and brought you back from Wall Street to make it here. I didn't do all that so you could go home, get married, have children, and wait on your in-laws!" "Not everyone is like you, known as a 'money-printing machine without feelings.'" She smiled, perfectly calm. "Mr. Duan, I'm just an ordinary person." "You really want to get married that badly?" It was the second time he'd asked. She smiled without answering. "Fine," Duan Youkai said through gritted teeth, grabbing his suit jacket and heading for the door. "If you're going to marry someone anyway, Ni Mi, bring your ID. We'll get married." Later, in the eleventh year of her secret crush on him and the eighth year of their casual arrangement, Ni Mi finally learned that Duan Youkai was human too, that he was... a person of flesh and blood, with feelings.
