Playing Hard to Get

#The fireworks I can't reach just happen to fall outside someone else's window#

Steady, refined, calm, self-controlled fatherly male lead X a pretty, scatterbrained, slow-witted female lead who can take on three people at once

CEO Shi Wenqin X floral designer Shi Jiayu

The person who picked you up and dropped you off at school was me. The person who dealt with the thugs pestering you was me. The person who tutored you was me. The person who accompanied you to competitions all over the world was me. The person who spent an entire year preparing your birthday present was me. The person who cleaned up after your scumbag exes was me...

Whenever you asked, I never said no.

"You've dated one scumbag after another. They come and go, and you suffer one heartbreak after another. Then you ask me if you're unlucky in love and whether you should go pray to the gods. Shi Jiayu, if you have time to pray, why don't you turn around and look at me? Any kind of trash in the world can become your ex-boyfriend. So why can't I?"

"...Brother, you've had too much to drink..."

Reading Guide:

1. The leads are not related by blood, have no legal sibling relationship, are not registered in the same household, and do not live under the same roof. Both leads fully comply with Jinjiang's rules and are lawful Jinjiang citizens.

2. The female lead has exes. The female lead has exes. The female lead has exes. This story includes romance between the female lead and male supporting characters, because the author likes watching calm people lose control, easygoing people get jealous, and strong people show their vulnerability. If that bothers you, please read with caution~

3. The author will try to make this a bittersweet romance, but the author's writing skills are hard to describe, so it'll probably still be a sweet story.
