The Art of Seduction

[Cool, mature woman × polished, sophisticated young gentleman | He tries to steal her away early on] After resigning, Jinxi started a tech company. One day, she accidentally walked into a friend’s office and caught an unfamiliar man changing. In her line of sight, he had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a tantalizing glimpse of his V-line. Their eyes met. Ling Wang’s gaze lazily swept over her face, while he remained perfectly composed. After learning that he came from a prominent family and was renowned in the industry for his skill and accomplishments, Jinxi never imagined she’d get involved with him. But on the day her boyfriend proposed, she was summoned to the backstage area alone. Outside was an earnest, heartfelt proposal. In front of her was proof that her boyfriend had been cheating. He gave her a knowing smile and threatened softly, “There’s still time to switch to someone else.” Later, when they ran into each other in Hong Kong, he was his aunt’s least favorite person, while she was the highly paid consultant his aunt had hired. On opposite sides, they constantly clashed, taking turns hitting each other where it hurt in public and making sure the other never had an easy time. Until, at a dinner, they slipped away one after the other. On an empty balcony, their bodies crossed the boundaries of social propriety. Footsteps sounded outside as someone came looking for them. Jinxi tried to hurry away. He caught her wrist. His teasing voice brushed her ear. “You can leave, but kiss me first.” Ling Wang had seen Jinxi in her early twenties, just starting out at work. She loved being called Engineer Jin, and when difficult relatives showed up to harass her, she’d still stand her ground, voice trembling as she argued her case. They’d met only a few times, and he hadn’t given her much thought. When he saw her again, she was stroking a dog and talking softly to it, her hair drifting in the breeze. Her clothes and her whole demeanor were relaxed, and she had a beauty that was both gentle and strong. Life offers few moments when everything falls out of order. He began to realize that the tiny mark she’d left on him had remained unbeatable for years. Coming soon: This Man Brings His Wife Good Fortune ^-^ Yun Ying had always been good at collecting good luck. She bought lucky-scented sprays by the case, considered numbers containing an eight basic necessities, and always got to the front of the line to pray and make offerings. After becoming roommates with Lin Wangqi, she thought he was good for nothing but his looks: arrogant and aloof. Later, she discovered he was gentle and considerate. Most importantly, a fortune-telling mini app developed by a friend said that her and Lin Wangqi’s birth charts were a 99.999% match. The verdict read: “This man brings his wife good fortune. Marry him and get rich.” Yun Ying refused to believe it. She bought a stack of scratch tickets and got him to scratch them for her. They won 5,000 yuan! What was she waiting for? Go for it! Chase him! Win him over! Yun Ying was bound to win! Wangqi was bound to bring his wife good fortune! / Lin Wangqi suspected Yun Ying had lost her mind. Lately, she’d been unusually warm and friendly toward him, even propping her chin in her hand to ask, “What do you think of me?” He paused, then poked her forehead with two fingers. “Not much.” After a series of back-and-forths, this man proved cold and heartless. Yun Ying just couldn’t keep chasing him. As the lease was about to expire, she laid everything out for Lin Wangqi: she was moving out, and she’d never try to win him over again. The next day, though, she accidentally barged into his bathroom. Steam swirled around eight-pack abs, a tantalizing sight, and something huge Yun Ying blushed, her heart racing, and nearly got a nosebleed. But he remained remarkably calm as he wrapped a towel around himself. “Go on, then. How are you going to make it up to me?” “...” Later. Yun Ying poked her tomato-red face out from under the covers and gritted her teeth. “Didn’t you say I wasn’t much?” Lin Wangqi was tying a knot. He looked back at her, his gaze falling on the overlapping hickeys. “Your stamina isn’t much.” Theme: Courage is humanity’s anthem. Hero Call.
