The Gorgeous Beauty of 1980s Hong Kong

Blurb:

Gorgeous, deceptively sweet Hong Kong heiress x strong, brawny ex-soldier

In her previous life, Lin Huiyan naively believed her childhood sweetheart of a husband really had a physical affliction. So even when he personally sent her to the mainland to find someone to father a child for them, she did it without complaint.

Who knew it had all been an elaborate scheme?

Reborn, back on the day her ship docked, she decided to live differently.

Just then, she caught sight of a man working nearby in a black tank top. Broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs and a firm backside: he looked like he'd be very good at making babies.

Her red lips curled. Wasn't she supposed to find someone to father a child? She'd make sure he got his wish.

After retiring from the military, Lu Zhengran settled into a quiet life running a little shop by the pier, until one day a breathtakingly beautiful woman showed up and offered to pay to keep him.

What did she take him for, a gigolo?

He refused, but she only became more determined.

Not only did she lavishly book him for herself, she moved in next door and kept parading around in slip dresses. Her waist was so slim he could wrap one hand around it, her skin so pale it looked as though a touch from him would leave a red mark, and she was impossibly delicate.

He gritted his teeth and thought: Fine, a gigolo it is. I'll be hers and hers alone.

Who knew he wouldn't just be a gigolo, but a third party, too?

He consoled himself: at least he wasn't the fourth.

But that heartless woman took what she wanted and ran! Lu Zhengran was so furious his teeth ached. He swore that once he caught her, he'd tear her limb from limb!

Time passed. Now a famous business magnate on the mainland, Lu Zhengran ran into her again in Hong Kong and sneered, "Miss Lin, long time no see. Why aren't you running?"

Running? Let's see how far she gets with those weak knees.

But who could tell him where this little ball of fluff, who had suddenly appeared by his bedside and was calling him Daddy, came from?
