It's Hard to Escape a Heartbeat

1

Tang Leyu is playing an escape room for the first time. She never imagined she'd actually get so scared she'd cry.

She drops to the floor, clutches the man's trouser leg, and sobs pitifully.

"I'll give you all my money. Can you please stop scaring me?"

"Mom!"

Chi Ye bites through the candy in his mouth and freezes on the spot. "?"

From then on, thanks to that one "Mom," it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say Chi Ye spent the rest of his life raising a daughter.

Chi Ye is reckless and capable of anything. His only flaw is being "broke," "really broke."

So when Tang Leyu learns he's "jealous of the rich," she quietly hides her Chanel bag and Patek Philippe watch. Then she puts on the act of being poor and pitiful, and hires the man to work for her.

But no one expects that Chi Ye will end up selling more than his labor. He even "sells" himself.

One night, he is "powerless to resist" as a drunk Tang Leyu pins him to the sofa and kisses him.

The man rests one hand on the young woman's waist, smiling wickedly as he coaxes her in a low voice: "Good girl, aim your kisses properly."

When the truth finally comes out, Tang Leyu spends the whole night crouched miserably outside his door, but he never appears.

Tang Leyu thinks that he isn't jealous of the rich at all. He just doesn't like her.

As if that matters.

She turns around and attends the matchmaking banquet her father has arranged for her to meet eligible rich men.

But as soon as she arrives, the famously refined and unapproachable young master of the Chi family catches her and backs her into a corner.

His arm settles over her shoulders, his hand around her waist. Chi Ye gives in and says, "You heartless little thing. You take what you want and then run?"

Irreverent, devoted, fatherly cool guy x sweet, spoiled heiress

(P.S. The male lead isn't really poor.)
