Kiss on the Neck (Three Books from Now)

1. Wen Chengze is five years older than Chu Yueyao. He excels at everything, from car racing and ice hockey to skiing, and runs the entire group with effortless skill.

To her, he's an utterly overwhelming presence, an outstanding heir whom half of Beijing's powerful families fear.

He's handsome, but always wears a cold expression. At every gathering, no one dares approach him casually.

Thinking their families were on good terms, Chu Yueyao did him a favor for once and delivered a love letter.

His displeasure was written all over his face. He tore it up without a word.

"You deliver every letter people hand you? They could sell you off and you'd help them count the money."

2.

Chu Yueyao had always thought he stayed by her side because her older sister had asked him to look after her.

After a rally, he would drive hundreds of kilometers through the night and lazily watch her perform. When she woke from a nightmare at midnight, he would race to the villa where she lived and ask if she wanted him to stay on a call and talk her back to sleep.

Chu Yueyao went viral online and earned the position of concertmaster through her own talent.

With bodyguards clearing the way, Wen Chengze's frigid, intimidating presence was so intense that the crowds who had come to see him scattered in an instant.

"Yao Yao, come here."

After their last argument, when she'd used his fierceness as an excuse, he'd become much gentler in tone. But his controlling nature, which left no room for refusal, was still just as strong.

Chu Yueyao didn't want to fall any deeper, so she pretended not to see him.

He stretched out an arm and pulled her into his embrace. "Every man out there has bad intentions. Don't you know how dangerous they are? Stay away from them."

Chu Yueyao muttered under her breath, "...But I think you're more dangerous than any of them."

He had been laying the groundwork for so long, and jealousy had already consumed him.

After a brief silence, Wen Chengze's gaze darkened.

"You're right." He rested a hand on her neck. His voice was gentle, but his actions left no room for refusal. "So when I force a kiss on you in a moment, be brave and don't cry. Okay?"

[I'm more dangerous than they are. Don't be afraid.]

[Come closer.]
