Have I Won Back My Little Canary Today?

[If you like my beloved, please leave a good review! Feel free to add my upcoming works to your collection! The blurb for my next book, My Favorite Voice Actor Is the Daddy Boss Who Lives Upstairs!, is at the bottom. Please give it a look!]

-

Song Pian is a nobody of an actor, pretty and well-behaved. After refusing to sleep her way to the top, she nearly gets blacklisted from the industry, then her manager sets her up and sends her to a famous director's bed.

With nowhere else to turn, she panics and stumbles into the arms of the second young master of the Qin family in Nancheng.

The man's amber eyes glimmer in the shadows, his expression half amused. "I can help you, but there'll be a price."

Song Pian looks at him in confusion, her lashes damp.

The Second Young Master Qin leans down, his breath brushing her ear. "I want you."

-

Overnight, Song Pian goes from being a complete unknown to being showered with top-tier opportunities. Everyone in the industry knows that the Second Young Master of the Qin family keeps a pretty canary, spoiling her and never letting her out of his sight. He gives her everything she asks for.

Song Pian also knows her place. Qin Zhilan wants her body, and she wants Qin Zhilan's money and influence. They each get what they want, and feelings are off the table.

But despite the gulf between them, she still commits the industry's greatest taboo:

She falls for her sugar daddy.

And lets him find out.

She can't have his love, and she can't be his canary anymore.

-

Song Pian takes it in stride. After all, she was the one who crossed the line first. She doesn't expect to win Qin Zhilan's heart, so she ends their relationship and focuses on making money and building her career.

But to her surprise, not long after she leaves, all the major media outlets in Nancheng publish breaking news.

#Second Young Master Qin flies three thousand kilometers through a stormy night to chase after his lover#

#Distracted throughout the post-summit celebration, he seems to have been dumped#

#It's official, they broke up! Insider reveals: the Second Young Master was dumped#

In a hotel room, Qin Zhilan pins her against his arms, his eyes bloodshot. "Song Pian, does what you said about loving me still count?"

Song Pian: ?

Wasn't she the one secretly in love with her sugar daddy? Why was her sugar daddy the one losing his mind?

-

Qin Zhilan, the second young master of the Qin family and the future sole decision-maker of the Qin Group in Nancheng, goes from being the happiest man alive to the most miserable overnight.

The happy part: his long-time crush, his canary, confessed to him.

The miserable part: the very next morning, she took it back, dumped him, and said he only wanted her for her body.

Qin Er, one step away from happiness: ?

The sky is falling. Where did it all go wrong?

It's true he wants her body, but what he wants even more is... Song Pian herself!

...If keeping his secret love to himself won't work, then he'll just have to win her back openly.

-

Later, gossip reporters catch the usually elegant Second Young Master Qin crouched beside a luxury car, tying the laces on a slender, pale ankle.

In the photos, Song Pian's ears are red as she kicks him.

She barely gives him a tap, like she's tickling him.

Reader's Guide:

● Well-behaved but clear-headed pretty girl x aloof on the outside but a hopeless romantic on the inside, the heir to a powerful family. Both are each other's first.

● Adult content, a sweet mutual pining story where one thinks the other wants them for their looks and the other thinks it's about money. Basically a light bedtime read, no angst. ٩(๑^o^๑)۶

Blurb for My Favorite Voice Actor Is the Daddy Boss Who Lives Upstairs!

-

"A cute, shy, introverted artist/secretary with no nerve and a big mouth x a well-endowed, daddy-type voice actor CEO who's a chaste gentleman in public but has a very active imagination in private."

Su Jiang's main job is secretary in the CEO's office.

His side hustle is drawing comics for adults.

To focus on his art after work, Su Jiang moves out of his family villa and rents a spacious apartment in a quiet neighborhood, recommended by his favorite voice actor online.

The apartment is great in every way, except for the poor soundproofing.

He has never met the neighbor upstairs, but he often hears strange noises in the middle of the night.

Sometimes it's a low-voiced warning, sometimes an excited taunt, and sometimes... a blush-inducing... moan.

Bright red, Su Jiang pulls the blankets over his head. The next day, he shows up with panda eyes and gets thoroughly chewed out by his boss. That night, he goes home and keeps working on his deadline, then the cycle repeats: hearing noises upstairs, losing sleep, getting scolded, and working on his comic.

On the Nth day of showing up with panda eyes and getting an earful, he finally can't take it anymore and rings the upstairs neighbor's doorbell.

The door opens. A tall man is standing there, wrapped in a bath towel and wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Su Jiang's eyes widen in shock. "Hello... you look..."

The neighbor's features are deep-set. "I look what?"

Su Jiang thinks the voice sounds familiar and swallows. "You look... really big."

The neighbor gives the slender young man an odd look. "Can I help you with something?"

Summoning all his courage, Su Jiang says, "Hello... could you please stop moaning?"

Neighbor: ?

-

The complaint works. In less than a day, the noises upstairs have vanished without a trace.

But now Su Jiang can't sleep.

His favorite voice actor suddenly announces he's retiring.

It should have been a rare night of good sleep, but Su Jiang turns up with panda eyes once again, waiting listlessly for his boss to chew him out.

Only, his boss has been replaced.

Su Jiang looks up and meets a pair of deep, narrow, peach-blossom eyes.

He slowly backs away.

Th-this... isn't that neighbor upstairs who moans so much?!

They run into each other, and Su Jiang awkwardly decides to say hello. "Good morning, Mr. CEO..."

The CEO arches a brow. "I'm really big?"

Su Jiang's face turns yellow with embarrassment.

-

Everyone at the company says the new CEO is a cold, handsome, abstinent god.

Only Su Jiang knows that the new CEO used to have an exceptionally "wild" private life, and is also very "vengeful."

Not only does he often make Su Jiang work overtime, but in his free time he either wants Su Jiang to join him for sukiyaki at lunch or go home with him after work to bake little cakes. On weekends, he even steals Su Jiang's creative time to go fishing for goldfish in the park!

Su Jiang is furious but doesn't dare say a word, so he draws the CEO into an explicit comic to get back at him.

To reward him for spending his twenty-fourth birthday working overtime with the CEO, his childhood friend pays a hefty sum to persuade the retired voice actor to come out of retirement and record audio for one of his comic skits.

Su Jiang listens in the office, getting more and more excited, until... a familiar-sounding moan escapes the voice actor's lips.

It sounds a little like the neighbor upstairs.

Then he watches as the CEO walks out of his office wearing the abstinent suit Su Jiang designed for him in the comic.

Su Jiang starts itching all over.

The next second, the CEO pins him between the desks, locking his waist in a tight embrace.

"Didn't you want me to stop moaning?" The CEO's warm lips brush his ear, almost casually.

"Looks like... you like it now."

#About how my favorite voice actor became my neighbor (and landlord) and boss, then I drew him into an eighteen-plus comic and made him my daddy#

-

Su Jiang always thought that every time he ran into Luo Hanshu, it was fate.

It wasn't until they got together that he learned how wonderful fate was. It was all deliberate, planned from the beginning!
