I Never Meant to Be My Bro's Wife

Chi Songyu comes from an ordinary background and a modest family. Apart from being exceptionally handsome, there's nothing special about him.

And yet, he's friends with Xie Lin, whose family fortune is worth hundreds of billions.

Xie Lin comes from Jiangcheng's most powerful and prestigious family. Refined and aloof, he treats everyone with cool indifference and keeps them at a distance. He's extremely difficult to approach.

People say Chi Songyu just got lucky. He used his pretty face and the fact that he was nearby to climb into Xie Lin's good graces. They call the two of them business partners, but surely Chi Songyu used his looks to charm Xie Lin.

Chi Songyu hears this and gives a faint, amused smile, neither confirming nor denying it.

The rumors aren't entirely wrong. In college, he used their roommate status to deliberately become friends with Xie Lin. Then, when Xie Lin was just starting his business, Chi Songyu joined at the right moment and became an important partner in his company.

After all, given Xie Lin's status, becoming his friend was like saving yourself ten years of hard work. Who wouldn't take a shortcut?

But saying he'd charmed Xie Lin is giving him far too much credit.

Xie Lin is distant and coldhearted, neither warm nor cold toward anyone. His eyes are fixed solely on work, and in all the years they've known each other, Chi Songyu has never seen him like anyone.

Chi Songyu even suspects that Xie Lin has no worldly desires or needs at all.

Until one night at a banquet, when an unexpected, outrageous encounter leaves Chi Songyu pinned beneath Xie Lin. He cries himself hoarse, but still isn't given a moment to rest.

Xie Lin is naturally aloof. Nothing but work can claim even a fraction of his attention.

Until one night of chaos with his friend leaves him, usually so calm and self-controlled, completely out of control. He gets a taste for it and can't get enough.

Afterward, Chi Songyu tries to avoid him, dodging him at every turn. Until he's pinned against the broad, cold desk in the CEO's office, with nowhere left to run

Chi Songyu's head and back ache: I really don't want to be my buddy's wife!

The rich kids of Jiangcheng have always bet that Chi Songyu and Xie Lin “have something going on.” After years of betting, they discover that the two really are nothing more than business partners.

At a party, one of Xie Lin's childhood friends can't help saying to Chi Songyu, “I always thought you and Xie Lin were a couple. I can't believe it was all a misunderstanding.”

In the hazy light, Chi Songyu's handsome, fair profile is tinged with drunkenness.

His friend feels a stirring in his heart and adds, “Songyu, I heard you haven't had a partner in ages. How about...”

Before he can finish, Xie Lin enters, radiating coldness.

The private room falls silent in an instant.

Xie Lin looks at the already-drunk Chi Songyu, his usually cold expression softening slightly. He bends down and picks him up, then sweeps his gaze across everyone in the room and says coolly, “I've come to pick up your sister-in-law.”

Everyone: ...!!?

The cold guy whose heart catches fire, then can't be stopped, x the oblivious heartthrob
