Pretend you don't know him? Not a chance | He'll fight to claim what's his | Stealing someone's girl | Hong Kong circle
After the college entrance exams, Zhi Miao was invited to Liang Mu's house for his birthday party.
After the celebrations, everyone was sprawled around, dead drunk.
A sudden power failure plunged the entire villa into darkness.
While no one was looking, Zhi Miao quietly crept upstairs in the dark and sneaked into Liang Mu's room. Summoning her courage, she stole a kiss from him while he was drunk.
Just as she started to pull away, he caught her wrist and drew her close.
Zhi Miao's heart pounded as she stammered,
"I... I've liked you for a long time. Would you... be my boyfriend?"
His answer was an ambiguous chuckle, followed by a passionate kiss that was almost too intense.
Zhi Miao was so nervous that she accidentally bit his lip.
Red-faced, she fled.
The next morning.
Zhi Miao went downstairs. Liang Mu was chatting and laughing with someone in the living room. Her shy gaze fell on his lips, only to find no sign of an injury.
...What was going on?
Just then, an exclamation came from behind her.
"Holy crap, Chen Huaixu, what happened to the corner of your mouth?!"
Zhi Miao was instantly struck like a bolt of lightning.
Then she heard a low chuckle that wasn't entirely unfamiliar.
His tone held a hint of confusion. "Is that so?"
Zhi Miao went deathly pale, feeling as if the sky had fallen.
The one who chuckled in response was A High's campus heartthrob and top student, Liang Mu's cousin, Chen Huaixu.
He was handsome, came from a privileged family, and had countless girls who liked him.
What's more, she clearly remembered that he had always been aloof and looked down on her. They had hardly ever spoken, and barely knew each other.
How could this be...
What Zhi Miao didn't know was this:
Chen Huaixu didn't dislike her. He just couldn't stand that her gaze always lingered on someone else.

Years later, they met again, and Chen Huaixu had become her direct superior.
At a class reunion one day, Zhi Miao deliberately kept her distance from him.
Someone asked curiously, "Weren't you two never very close in high school?"
Someone else chimed in, "I remember they barely knew each other back then."
Almost at the same time,
Zhi Miao nodded. "Yeah, we weren't close."
Chen Huaixu said coolly, "Ex-girlfriend."
Their relationship had been anything but ordinary.
Everyone: What???
Chen Huaixu's voice lowered. "Yeah, we really weren't close."
Zhi Miao replied expressionlessly, "We just slept together."
They both changed their stories at the same time.
Everyone was left gaping.
Could you two... at least get your stories straight?

Powerful man falls for beauty's wiles | He bows to kiss the thorny rose | Equally matched | Beijing circle
Lately, the biggest topic in business circles had been the contest to inherit Jingyu Group. The frontrunners were Xie Chengyao, eldest grandson of the Xie family, and the fourth young master, Xie Yunqing.
Both were exceptionally gifted and distinguished. They appeared harmonious on the surface, but were bitter rivals behind the scenes.
As their contest reached a fever pitch with no clear winner, Old Master Xie simply declared that whoever won the heart of the Ye family's daughter and secured a marriage alliance would become the next heir.
Everyone outside the family waited for the show. Surely the cousins would go all out to show off for the Ye family's daughter?
Most people favored Xie Yunqing. He was a shrewd businessman, skilled at weighing the pros and cons, planning ahead, and never backing down.
And most importantly, he was handsome.
Who could have guessed that before long, a strange woman would suddenly appear by Xie Yunqing's side, breathtakingly beautiful and coolly elegant, like a celestial being descended to earth.
Even the fourth young master, usually cold and indifferent and never one for women, had fallen for her. He lowered himself and spent a fortune just to make her smile.
He was even willing to give up the marriage alliance and hand the group heirship to someone else.

Xie Yunqing knew perfectly well that Yan Zhuo had been planted by Xie Chengyao at his side as part of an old-fashioned beauty trap.
But he still fell for it, consciously letting himself sink deeper, step by step.
Love isn't about winning or losing. It's about whether you're willing.
"Miss Yan, you've already ruined my reputation. This little bit of sincere affection is all I have left that's still pure. Do you want it?"
After a long silence, Yan Zhuo looked into the distance.
Xie Chengyao raised his wineglass toward them unhurriedly, smiling with exceptional warmth. "A Yan, come to my side."
