Good Night, Darling

[My new novel, "Deep Love, True Passion", is now updating. Weibo: @Jinjiang Mu Xiaobu] Liang Ying first met He Xu at Qingshan Nursery. He drove a black off-road vehicle speeding down the mountain road. The car door opened, and a broad-shouldered man stepped out. He wore a black short-sleeved T-shirt and camouflage cargo pants. His features were sharply defined, and the muscles in his arms stood out in bold lines. At the time, Liang Ying was devoted to her career and never imagined getting involved with him. That was before she ran into a former university professor who had taught her at the park's matchmaking corner. She had barely said hello when the professor took her hand, beaming with enthusiasm. “My son doesn't smoke or drink, and he has no bad habits. He's great at laundry, cooking, and fixing appliances. He's even-tempered and an absolute wife-doting maniac. If you tell him to go east, he wouldn't dare go west. Would you be interested in meeting him?” Before Liang Ying could refuse, the professor hurriedly started a video call. A low, helpless voice came from the other end. “Give it up. Stop trying to ruin some poor girl's life. There's no way anything will come of whoever you introduce me to.” The professor ignored him and moved the phone in front of Liang Ying. He Xu was at the gym, radiating testosterone. Liang Ying's breath caught. They stared at each other, and the video call abruptly ended. The next second, Liang Ying received a message from He Xu: I take back what I just said. Liang Ying realized he wanted to ruin her life: “...” He Xu had been single for thirty years, living an austere, desire-free life. Then a woman with an air of scholarly elegance appeared before him. She smiled faintly, his heart went wild, and the old iron tree finally blossomed. “I didn't believe in love at first sight until your profile appeared in my eyes.” “The woman I love deserves to be cherished and to have all the world's beautiful things.” “Good night, darling.” *Landscape architect x owner of a tree nursery with hills and land *Gentle little bunny x tender-hearted tough guy *Sweet everyday romance, no angst, no melodrama *Cover image uses a commercially available resource from an overseas website *Complete.

She planned to lie flat and coast as a wealthy second-generation heiress, but her older brother dumped her at a friend's company, calling it “a chance to gain experience.” Life is only thirty thousand days long. Why waste it working? This wasn't gaining experience, it was enduring a tribulation! She would rise up and fight back! After working overtime for several days, Luo Qingyue stormed into her boss's office, brimming with resentment. She planted both hands on the desk and stared straight at her older brother's close friend. “You know how powerful my family is, right? All it would take is one word in my parents' ears, and they could buy your company without breaking a sweat.” The man before her raised his voice. Faced with such brazen threats, Lu Mingxiao remained composed. “What is it you want?” Luo Qingyue leaned closer, the man's handsome face just inches away. Her heart skipped a beat. She abandoned the speech she'd prepared and looked at him with utter seriousness. “Call my brother and tell him your company doesn't allow office romances. Say you've fallen in love with me, so you have no choice but to fire me.” Lu Mingxiao: “...” 2 Luo Qingyue didn't get fired as she'd hoped. Not only did Lu Mingxiao let her use her strengths on a project and pass her probation, he also invited her to ride home with him and made her special meals in his private kitchen. At first, Luo Qingyue thought he was just returning a favor. But gradually, she realized something was off. On a business trip, Luo Qingyue's feet were aching terribly in her high heels, so Lu Mingxiao went to the mall and bought her a pair of sneakers to change into. On a park bench, Luo Qingyue lowered her head and watched as Lu Mingxiao crouched in front of her, carefully placing her high heels into their shoebox. Lu Mingxiao sat down beside her. Luo Qingyue didn't dare look at his face as she murmured, “If you're having money troubles, just tell me. Going out of your way to be nice to me makes it hard not to suspect you have ulterior motives.” A breeze swept by, carrying a tender warmth. After a moment's silence, Lu Mingxiao raised a hand and brushed a pink petal from Luo Qingyue's hair. “Our company has never forbidden office romances.” Thinking he was bringing up the past, Luo Qingyue's breath caught. The next moment, his low voice fell by her ear once more. “Luo Qingyue, I've fallen in love with you. Will you take responsibility for me?” *A big-dreaming, sweet girl who wants to lie flat x a cool-faced, warm-hearted car company owner *Another cozy, sweet little romance Theme: Pure love is simple and beautiful
