Has the Editor-in-Chief Forgiven Me Yet?

[Super Mean, Scheming Daddy Top x Sunny, Everyone's Favorite Bottom]

A year ago, under pressure from his father, Lan Xia had no choice but to break up with his ex-boyfriend, Anthony White, who was nine years older, handsome, wealthy, and in incredible shape.

After going to the United States to study, Lan Xia cut off contact with his father and made a decision:

He was going to win Anthony White back.

So Lan Xia went to interview at Anthony's company, hoping to become his intern.

He held out his hand and smiled openly. "It's nice to meet you, Mr. White."

Anthony didn't take his hand. He stared at him, then asked in his usual airy tone, "What the hell are you doing here?"

At thirty, Anthony was already the U.S. editor in chief of a top magazine.

He had single-handedly saved a magazine on the verge of shutting down, turning it into an industry textbook. Any item he said would take off ended up dominating the fashion world. Celebrities needed his approval to get on the cover or access haute couture.

Picky, sharp-tongued, and holding the power of life and death, he was both respected and feared in the industry.

But with Lan Xia, all that remained was a grudge.

He showed no regard for their past, made no exceptions, and worked him to the bone.

Lan Xia didn't put up with it, either.

Once he'd done his work beautifully, he lounged in the office with his legs crossed, leisurely reading a magazine.

When Anthony walked in, he casually greeted him. "Hey, Anthony."

The entire office fell silent.

Anthony stopped in his tracks and took the book from his hands. "Call me Mr. White."

Anthony was nearly driven insane by him.

When he got close, Lan Xia dodged him. When he acted distant, Lan Xia clung to him. Just as Anthony tried to pretend he didn't care, Lan Xia saw right through him.

Lan Xia hadn't come to reform the workplace. He'd come to reform Anthony.

Anthony was nine years older than Lan Xia. How could he not see through those little feelings of his? He asked lightly, "What makes you think I'd still like you? Or that I ever liked you at all?"

Lan Xia froze for a moment, then turned to leave, eyes red.

Anthony had thought the defenses he'd built around his heart were unbreakable. But when Lan Xia was ready to give up, he grabbed him and demanded in a low voice:

"Are those really your only tricks for pursuing someone? Can't you be a little more resolute, a little more persistent?"

Lan Xia grabbed his collar and cursed him. "Are you crazy?"

Then he kissed him.

Tips:

1. A sweet little romance, and both leads are sexually and romantically exclusive.

2. The top misunderstands the bottom at first, but they'll clear things up later.

3. The top is an extremely mean character with a sharp tongue. His worldview does not represent the author's. The bottom is sunny and adorable, and has a mind of his own.
