Sweetly Coaxed [The Ex-Wife Chase Begins]

A doting daddy obsessed with his little brother × a clingy female star who's a master at acting cute

"Comforting you is the work of my lifetime."

They first met at an industry drinking party.

Ren Lin stopped the hand about to land on Shang Jin's shoulder and asked as if offhandedly, "Miss Shang, have you considered switching agencies?"

The question sobered everyone in the private room. They exchanged glances, then smiled ingratiatingly. "Xiao Jin's contract hasn't expired yet..."

Ren Lin ignored the speaker, keeping his eyes on the person before him as he asked, "Have you?"

Shang Jin lowered her gaze to meet his. She knew she couldn't read him, but she still nodded.

"If you have, you can tell me."

Ren Lin lowered his voice, his tone so gentle it sounded as if he were soothing a child.

His manner made Shang Jin's ears turn red. She spoke slowly, one word at a time: "President Ren, I am thinking about switching agencies."

"Good!"

That one "Good!" changed Shang Jin's career beyond recognition.

She landed top luxury brand endorsements one after another and could pick from all kinds of scripts. In just a year, she became the highest-paid female star in the industry. Her personality changed along with her career.

After a night shoot one day, her manager was leaving with her when, in the brief moment before the car door closed, they caught sight of Shang Jin nestled in someone's arms, wrapping her arms around that person's neck as she acted coy.

Inside the car, Ren Lin massaged the ankle of the person sitting on his lap with one hand, while soft, contented hums filled his ears.

After two years together, Shang Jin happened to learn from someone else that Ren Lin's affection for her was just his way of making up for the love he had failed to give a family member.

Only then did she finally understand that she had never entered Ren Lin's world.

Before long,

unable to find her, the usually composed Ren Lin was cursing even the dogs he passed on the street.
