Blurb follows.

Zhou Xucheng was a client Zhong Yuling had worked hard to land.

At work, he was decisive and merciless, rejecting her proposals one after another.

Zhong Yuling never complained, doing her utmost as his PR representative.

Later, as expected, everyone could see that Zhong Yuling avoided him whenever possible and wouldn't meet him unless she had to.

Her reaction was a little over the top.

A colleague marveled, "She's renowned in the industry for being conscientious, and she gets along well with her clients. How did you make her run away whenever she sees you?"

Zhou Xucheng said nothing, silently drinking his wine.

No one made her do anything.

They'd been friends for almost five years. Zhou Xucheng knew she avoided intimacy, so he'd given her all the time and space she needed.

Wasn't she the one who'd been avoiding him all along?

Who was it that seduced him, slept with him, then ran off?

On the nth day of being avoided, Zhou Xucheng couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her arm and pulled her into a private room.

In the dim light, the tall man stood before her, radiating an intimidating presence. He frowned and looked down at her. "Why are you avoiding me again? Is it really that hard to admit you like me?"

An avoidant woman VS an aggressively loving man

Reading guide:

1. A watermelon-rind style story. Read with caution.

2. Five-year age gap. Both have exes.

3. The female lead has a career storyline, but the author isn't an expert.

4. A comeback work, so the style may be inconsistent.

Jian Fangfei never expected to marry Liang Zexi.

Before that, they had been high school classmates who weren't particularly close.

After their marriage, he was the newly appointed heir to the conglomerate: cold, distant, aloof, ill-tempered, and hard to deal with.

She was just a reporter at one of its subsidiaries, and hardly ever saw him.

He cared about her, but only to a point.

Once, during a minor argument, Liang Zexi was uncooperative with her at work, and Jian Fangfei had plenty of complaints about him.

Liang Zexi stood before the mirror, head bowed as he adjusted his sleeves. His dark eyes were unreadable as he said unhurriedly, "You use my money to support your ex-boyfriend. Have I ever said a single word about it?"
