A Secret Crush Across the Line

[Main story complete, bonus chapters coming soon~ Upcoming: Secret Marriage and Raising a Child, Cotton Candy]

Blurb:

Ye Changle owns three pet shops, and business is good.

One day, a handsome man came into the shop. He was tall and good-looking, but rather stiff and unsmiling.

“Hello. What can I help you find?”

“I'd like to look at kittens.”

She recommended a little Ragdoll kitten to him.

That evening, she got a message on WeChat: [Hello, may I ask why my cat isn't eating?]

He was a first-time cat dad, so Ye Changle became his after-sales support.

--

The second time they met, Ye Changle was saying goodbye to her boyfriend outside. He hugged her and affectionately said goodbye.

In her peripheral vision, the man who had bought a cat was carrying something upstairs. The narrow, cramped stairwell forced him to stoop slightly.

Their eyes met. The man coolly looked away, his expression calm as he passed them, took out his keys, unlocked the door, and went inside.

That evening, another message arrived on WeChat: [Hello, may I ask if you have any recommendations for cat trees?]

--

Later, after-sales support turned into home visits.

“Xiaoxian is feeling unwell. Could you come take a look?”

“Does Xiaoxian need to be spayed?”

“Xiaoxian seems to miss you. Could you come over?”

Ye Changle finally couldn't take it anymore. “Chen Songshi, are you doing this on purpose?”

The man's deep eyes were focused and earnest. His voice was low. “No. I really miss you.”

Upcoming: Secret Marriage and Raising a Child

Lin Ke followed her family's arrangements and married financial tycoon Si Yuming. They kept their marriage secret, and rarely saw each other, sometimes not even once in a month. Their only connection was their three-year-old daughter, Si Xiaotie.

Recently, Lin Ke transferred to work at Si Yuming's company and happened to overhear some gossip.

“Yesterday the media caught the Jiang family's heiress on a date with President Si. They say she's President Si's first love, and the two have been secretly married for years.”

“I knew it! The little princess's mother has to be her!”

“You know, they do look a little alike.” Her colleague nudged her shoulder. “Lin Ke, you've met the little princess, right?”

She had. They didn't look alike.

--

One day, the boss brought his child to work. As everyone discussed business, they held their breath, afraid of waking the little one in the lounge.

Ten minutes later, a well-rested Si Xiaotie rubbed her eyes and looked around sleepily with her big eyes. Then she rushed straight into Lin Ke's arms and called out in a sweet, soft voice, “Mommy~”

Lin Ke awkwardly glanced at the composed man in a suit at the head of the table, picked up her daughter, and answered gently, “Yes?”
