The Art of Seduction

[Cool, mature woman VS polished, sophisticated gentleman | Early love rivalry]

Jin Xi is the owner of a small tech company. Her work brings her into contact with Ling Wang.

They first meet when she walks into the wrong office and finds him just putting on his shirt.

The man looks cool and mature, with an air of refinement from head to toe.

A friend tells her that he's from a wealthy family and is widely known in their circle as a top-tier man.

Jin Xi has always thought Ling Wang dislikes her. After all, the day her boyfriend proposed...

She was summoned alone to the backstage area. Outside was an intensely romantic proposal, while in front of her was proof that her boyfriend had been two-timing her.

Jin Xi put on a cool expression. "Do you hate him, or do you hate me?"

Later, they meet again in Hong Kong. He is the thorn in his aunt's side, while she is the technical consultant his aunt hired at a generous salary.

They are on opposite sides, constantly at odds. In public, they ruthlessly hit each other where it hurts, never letting the other get away with anything.

Until, at a dinner party, they both leave the table in succession. Alone on the balcony, their bodies honestly cross the bounds of social distance.

Footsteps approach from outside. Jin Xi hurriedly tries to leave.

Unable to pull her wrist free, she hears his teasing voice by her ear: "Kiss me and I'll let you go."

Ling Wang remembers Jin Xi in her early twenties, when she had just entered the workforce and loved being called Engineer Jin. When someone cornered her, she would tremble as she argued her case with reason.

They met a few times, but he never paid much attention. When they met again, he saw her stroking a dog and murmuring softly to it, her hair drifting in the breeze. She looked relaxed, from her clothes to her demeanor, with a beauty that combined softness and strength.

In life, there are few moments when you lose control. He began to realize that this tiny imprint had remained invincible for all these years.

Coming soon: This Man Brings His Wife Good Fortune ^-^

Yun Ying has been lucky all her life.

She buys whole cases of good-luck spray, considers numbers containing 8 a basic requirement, and is always at the front when praying to the gods and honoring her ancestors.

After becoming roommates with Lin Wangqi, she thinks that apart from being handsome, he's useless: arrogant and cocky. Later, she discovers that he's gentle and considerate.

Most importantly, in an AI fortune-telling mini-app made by a friend, her and Lin Wangqi's birth chart compatibility is an incredible 99.999%.

The summary reads: "This man brings his wife good fortune, and his wife will grow rich."

Yun Ying refuses to believe it, so she buys a stack of scratch cards and has him scratch them. They win 5,000 yuan!

What are you waiting for? Go for it! Chase him! Make a move!

Yun Ying is bound to win!

Wangqi is bound to bring his wife good fortune!

Lin Wangqi suspects Yun Ying has lost her mind. Lately, she's been friendly and enthusiastic toward him, even propping her cheek on her hand as she asks, "What do you think of me?"

He pauses, then presses two fingers against her forehead. "Not much."

After a series of encounters, this man proves cold and heartless.

Yun Ying really can't keep chasing him. With the lease about to expire, she speaks frankly with Lin Wangqi: she's leaving soon and won't pursue him anymore.

The next day, she accidentally barges into his bathroom.

Steam swirls around, eight-pack abs, a feast for the eyes, and a huge

Yun Ying blushes, her heart pounds, and her nose is about to bleed. But he remains remarkably calm as he wraps a towel around himself.

"So, how are you going to take responsibility?"

"..."

Later.

Yun Ying pokes her tomato-red face out from under the covers and grits her teeth. "Didn't you say I wasn't much?!!"

Lin Wangqi is tying a knot. He turns to look at her, his gaze falling on the several overlapping hickeys. "Your stamina isn't much."
