Next book in the series: An Americano

Blurb:
A calculating, devoted man X a sensitive, cool beauty
He Yuzhou is Li Ruoran's boss: young, talented, and successful. In business, he is decisive and ruthless.
He is cool and distant, his private life a mystery, and he always keeps a clear line between himself and his subordinates.
The thing his coworkers gossip about most in the break room is their boss. What kind of woman could possibly catch the eye of such a dignified, self-disciplined man?
Once, Li Ruoran happened to get pulled into the discussion. She casually replied, “Maybe someone who doesn't like him.”
She then turned and strolled out of the break room, only to bump into the very man they had been gossiping about. His expression was placid, impossible to read.
Everyone clutched their heads and scattered in a panic.
That night, He Yuzhou pinned her against the bathroom wall. Steam swirled in the air, and two blurred silhouettes stood behind the floor-to-ceiling glass.
The man's low voice was muffled by the sound of running water. All Li Ruoran could hear was his persistent question: “Do you like me?”
At last, just as she was about to run out of breath, she murmured, “I like you.”
Satisfied with her answer, he gently stroked her cheek and said softly, “Next time, don't be so stubborn.”

Reader's guide:
1. The heroine has an ex-boyfriend she dated for seven years.
2. The hero has a secret crush on the heroine.
3. It's a domineering CEO romance. Sorry if it's too cheesy for you.
4. The characters aren't perfect. If you curse out the leads or side characters, please don't curse out the author too (I'll go crazy, just kidding).
An Americano
Blurb:
Shu Yi doesn't like trying new things.
She only drinks lattes, and only dates younger men.
On her first day back in her hometown from the big city, her latte was replaced with red dates and goji berries.
On the second day, she was set up on a date with a man six years older than her.
The older man tastes bitter, with a sweet aftertaste.
Like the Americano he brought her.
Reader's guide:
1. Adults falling in love, neither is a virgin.
2. 29 years old VS 35 years old.
3. Unemployed beauty X coffee shop owner
Theme: Respect and love yourself, and stand on your own two feet.
The author's story is good, but the male protagonist is not strong enough, so they decided to get together, but they can't solve the problem of disagreement at home. If they make it public, they can only get the female protagonist fired. I think if the male protagonist is stronger and more mature, he will be more attractive, because the female protagonist is already emotionally hurt. The only place where she feels safe is her job. She also lost her job. If the male protagonist can't give her a sense of security, I don't blame the female protagonist for thinking too much. At this time, the male protagonist still feels that he is taking the initiative and is tired. Well, it's hard to comment.
Why do you think so many people don't tell their parents about the breakup? I read a lot of novels that don't mention it, and then I'm embarrassed to be asked by my parents when I go home. . .
Not bad, I read it in one sitting~~
Very well written and heart-warming story
Are these words hurtful? If you are a parent who cannot understand clearly, this sentence is just an itch.
It's delicious, but it's too short. Both the male and female protagonists are very human, hahahaha
Ding~Business fluid blessing update is stress-free!
I'm really speechless. How can a dirty man have the nerve to ask others to forgive him? I wonder if others find it disgusting?
"Reverse" is a big bug for the author~ response
