He Came Like a Southern Breeze in a Dream

The End

Blurb:

(1) After a sudden upheaval in her family, Qing Chen stayed with the Chu family for a time and fell for the eldest young master, Chu, who was responsible for looking after her.

Because their families had a distant connection from generations ago, though they weren't related by blood, he was technically her little uncle.

Little Uncle had a face with perfectly sculpted features, sharp, icy eyes, and a deep, wild intensity. He was like an unapproachable landscape of ice and snow, and he was never friendly to anyone.

Qing Chen was no pushover either. She tempted him, drew him in, and brazenly tested his limits on countless nights.

At last, she got what she wanted: a restrained yet doting response from the eldest young master, Chu. He said, “Chenchen, quitting smoking is easy. But I can't quit you.”

Qing Chen had once had all of him, only to abandon him later, hurling all manner of cruel, heart-wrenching words at him.

Chu Yuhen once swore, “If I ever talk to you again, I'm a dog!”

(2) Everyone who knew them knew that, all these years, Chu Yuhen had hated the ingrate who once abandoned him with all his heart.

When they met again, their eyes locked across the conference table. The man looked calm and composed, not a trace of emotion on his face.

But then an itch crept over his ankle. He felt the hem of his pants being lifted by the point of a high heel beneath the table…

Before the meeting was even over, Chu Yuhen dragged the woman off somewhere else. His gaze was sharp, his movements blunt and dangerous. “All these years later, you're still damn good at seducing people. What did you come back for?”

He gripped her chin high as if to punish her. Qing Chen's cheeks burned, and her voice trembled as she managed to get out, “I wanted to see you.”

As though she'd said something absurd, Chu Yuhen sneered. “You think you can see me just because you want to?”

But the woman pressed closer instead of backing away. Her big, limpid eyes were mesmerizing as she hooked her little finger around his and gave it a tug, her voice soft and sweet. “Little Uncle…”

Chu Yuhen's gaze was so dark it could have crushed her. After a long moment, he gave a self-mocking laugh. “Qing Chen, I must have owed you a debt in a past life.”

In the years they spent apart, were they both trying to be crueler than the other, or were they secretly aching for each other, or did things turn out just as you wished…
