What's Wrong with Being a Little Two-Faced?

[Career-Driven CEO x Love-Struck, Tea-Scented Race Car Driver]

The day news broke that Song Yunjin was engaged to the Wen family of Hong City, everyone said she was marrying above her station.

Some people claimed that Song Yunjin must have schemed and fawned her way into a match with the all-powerful head of the Wen family...

Before they could finish, Chi Du smashed a bottle over their head, splitting it open on the spot.

Among the rich young men of Hong City, Chi Du was notorious for being ruthless.

His drinking buddies all held their tongues, not daring to provoke him.

After leaving the bar, Chi Du was still brimming with hostility. His gaze swept over the street, and he suddenly stiffened. Then he hurried beneath the dim light of a streetlamp.

As he walked, his steps faltered, and he nearly fell. A pair of slender, pale hands caught him.

Everyone standing at the bar entrance stared in disbelief. Just ten minutes earlier, Chi Du had been holding a cigarette in his mouth and a bottle in his hand, splitting someone's head open with effortless precision. Blood had splattered across his brow, but he hadn't even blinked. He clearly hadn't touched a drop of alcohol.

And now he was pretending to trip on level ground...

When the woman helped him up, he raised his face, looking like a poor thing on the verge of tears.

With clear eyes, he pretended to be drunk, swaying like a willow in the wind as he leaned against the woman who had helped him. Using drunken antics as an excuse, he kissed and hugged her, taking every advantage he could.

When she pushed him away, he looked aggrieved. "Sis, are you giving up on me?"

At last, he got the comforting hug he'd been hoping for.

But where Song Yunjin couldn't see...

Chi Du buried his face in the crook of her neck, rubbing against her like a puppy who couldn't bear to let go, while fixing a chilling, menacing stare on Wen Shuyu, who had come with his fiancee and stood not far away.

A faint, icy smile curled his lips. His arm circled Song Yunjin's waist in a possessive, imprisoning embrace.

His cool, sharp black eyes brimmed with provocation. Silently, he mouthed to the man:

"She's mine."

"She is his one and only rose. Even if she pricks his palm until it bleeds, he doesn't want anyone else coveting her."

Chi Du: If Sis likes it, what's wrong with me being a little sweet and calculating?

Song Yunjin: Nothing. I'll spoil you.
