He's a Pro at Stealing Someone's Lover

[The pirated version is incomplete. Please support the original qwq]

For five years, Zhou Yining lived as a wealthy wife, arranging flowers and sipping tea every day. She'd been so thoroughly pampered that she knew how to do nothing but spend money.

When she accidentally discovered her husband was cheating, Zhou Yining panicked and turned to a junior from her law school who had joined a law firm.

She might not know how to make money, but she knew how to hold on to it.

Who knew that, after all the twists and turns, the case would end up in the hands of Lu Huaian, her husband's close friend?

When the opposing side discovered her plan to claim a huge share of the assets, Zhou Yining could only wait dejectedly to be sent away with nothing.

But Lu Huaian took hold of her shoulder.

"What's yours won't be short by a single cent."

"When the time comes, Ms. Zhou, don't forget to give me credit."

Zhou Yining nodded helplessly and quietly clutched her handbag.

His hand on her shoulder was a little too tight.

-

When she suddenly learned the truth, a wave of deep regret swept over her.

Looking at Tan Yi's grim face, she sobbed, "How was I supposed to know you weren't cheating on me...?"

Then she quickly added, "You were the one who gave me the silent treatment back then!"

That's why Lu Huaian had tricked her into getting a divorce.

Tan Yi sighed. "Cut ties with him and come back."

The woman hesitated, sneaking a cautious glance at him before slowly but firmly shaking her head.

"Fine. Then we're really done for good. Bye." He turned to leave.

She caught him by the hem of his coat. A moment later, her trembling body pressed tightly against him.

Tan Yi was furious. "You want to have us both? Unbelievable, Zhou Yining. You've really gotten bold!"

Zhou Yining and Tan Yi came down to the lobby and turned a corner, where love awaited: her current husband.

She was so startled she could barely stay on her feet.

Tan Yi's strong arm held her in place, leaving her no way to escape.

"Well, Huaian, you're so busy you have to meet clients at a hotel?"

"I'm not meeting a client. I'm here to pick up my wife." He corrected him, his face expressionless. "Yining, come here. Let's go home."

New novel now available: Secretary

After her husband's death, Yan Xiang had no one to protect her. She could only return to her old line of work, hiding the fact that she was a widowed mother, and apply for a job as a corporate secretary to support her family.

Shao Heng was a newly appointed general manager. He was handsome and rich, and treated people with cold indifference.

But one day, Yan Xiang realized that his gaze lingered on her for longer and longer.

The rich young master wanted to try something new, and after a series of advances, Yan Xiang couldn't refuse.

Luckily, he was generous with his money and knew how to please her in bed.

She didn't take a rich young man like him seriously, hoping only that he'd lose interest soon.

He was to enter an arranged marriage, and his parents, friends, and others all tried to pressure and tempt Yan Xiang into breaking up with him. She went along with it and ended things.

But late that night, Shao Heng knocked on her door, took her hand, and slipped a diamond ring onto her finger.

He said, "I want to marry you."

Just then, her daughter peeked out from behind her. "Mom, who is he?"

Shao Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and echoed, "...Mom?"

[Bonus scene]

Yan Xiang had always been mysterious. She had to be home by eight every night and never stayed out overnight.

She was delicate and mild-mannered, and was often pushed around at work. Shao Heng assumed her parents were strict.

Until he learned she was a widowed mother, and that her neighbors considered her a widow who remained devoted to her late husband.

He cornered her, one question after another.

"A campus romance?"

"A match made in heaven?"

"A child born of love?"

His eyes were bloodshot. "Then what am I?"

Yan Xiang said timidly, "...I thought we were just having fun."

Coming soon: Nightwatch Mountain

Everyone said Pei Guanshan had struck it lucky. Her parents' car accident had brought her into a wealthy family, where she'd never have to worry about food or clothing again.

Others felt sorry for Second Young Master Cheng. He was a refined and accomplished scholar, and deserved a wife from an equally respectable family. Yet a woman with no connections had taken the place of his wife.

Pei Guanshan endured it in silence. She'd been raised with financial support from Old Master Cheng, and she had to repay his kindness. If he wanted her to marry Cheng Guanyan, then marry him she must.

Even though his gentle facade hid a cold detachment, and he never once let her into his heart, she kept smiling as brightly as she could, hoping to reassure the elders and repay their kindness.

But she never expected Cheng Guanyan to dislike her so much that he couldn't even spare the time to show up for their engagement ceremony.

Only then did she understand:

He had no regard for her attempt to repay his kindness, and he didn't need it at all.

*

When they met again, Cheng Guanyan arrived travel-worn and gently told her that his research had made a breakthrough. He was about to go to Britain for further study and hoped she would accompany him.

His eyes held both apology and affection. "Shanshan, I'm sorry I missed our last chance. I hope you'll forgive me. Let's start over."

He reached out to take Pei Guanshan's hand, but someone else seized her slender, pale fingers first.

He turned in surprise. It was his usually arrogant and stern eldest brother.

The man said, "Guanyan, let's pretend the past never happened. From now on, you should call her your sister-in-law."

The tall man spread his arms and drew the girl into his embrace, leaving no room for refusal. His possessiveness was unmistakable.

Cheng Guanyan protested, "Big Brother, it was me who was engaged to Shanshan."

The man lazily lifted his eyes, their depths inscrutable. "But I'm the one who married her."

[Bonus scene]

The groom still hadn't appeared at the engagement ceremony.

Watching the girl onstage, flustered and seemingly still holding on to hope, Cheng Guanyao took a small sip of wine.

He uncrossed his legs, tugged at his tie, stood up, and strode toward her.

Once, she had been his younger brother's childhood sweetheart and fiancée.

Now, their flesh and blood would be joined, and she would become the person dearest to him.
