The Coldhearted Boss: I Just Can't Do It

He is a cold-faced CEO who dominates the business world.

Rumor has it that his standards for women are impossibly high.

Rumor has it that he never pursues women, yet leaves broken hearts everywhere.

Rumor has it that the woman he loves is his childhood sweetheart, who has been abroad for years.

Rumor has it that he can control everything, except for her...

An airheaded girl meets a cold, powerful CEO!

To celebrate finally breaking up with her boyfriend, she got roaring drunk that night, picked someone up, and went to bed with him, without knowing who he was!

When the man she'd secretly loved finally returned from abroad, single, she rolled up her sleeves, ready to make her move! Then she discovered he was the CEO's rival in love!

Dragged into this unavoidable mess, what will she do in the end...?

Excerpt One

The CEO swept the lovely girl in front of him into his arms. Her snow-white dress made her skin look even fairer. He leaned close and murmured coldly, “Since they've paired off, why don't you and I make do with each other?”

“Mr. CEO, I'm way out of your league.” Xu Nuan's hair stood on end.

“Then I'll let you climb all over me.” His icy breath kept washing over her.

Xu Nuan squeezed her eyes shut, gritted her teeth, and went for broke. “Mr. CEO, I'm pregnant. It's not yours!”

“That's fine. Marry you and get one child free. Consider it part of the dowry.” His icy breath left her completely frozen!

Excerpt Two

The lavish engagement party glittered with lights.

“Well, if it isn't Second Miss Xu. What perfect timing!” Xu Kexu, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, mocked in a sweet voice. “What, did you come back now that there's a crowd, hoping to fish in troubled waters and steal something?”

Another heiress nearby covered her mouth in feigned shock. “Could this be the thief who stole the Xu family's heirloom six years ago?!”

“Who else would it be? She was kicked out of the family, and still has the nerve to come back.”

“That's how illegitimate daughters are: shameless.”

“The heirloom has always been kept by the eldest son of the Xu family. What right did she have to it?”

“If she couldn't have it, she stole it. Just like her!”

“Doesn't she know her place? How shameless!”

The rumors and insults engulfed her in an instant. Everyone moved away, leaving her isolated in the middle of an empty circle.

Xu Nuan looked coldly at the ugly faces of these so-called relatives, a mocking smile tugging at her lips.

She had heard all this six years ago. Now they were repeating the same old accusations. What was the point?

She turned away indifferently, only to crash into a broad, firm chest. The aloof man above her smiled with icy tenderness. “If my little darling wants it, I can get it for you. Why bother doing it yourself?”

He turned his sharp gaze toward Xu Guyuan, the family patriarch, who stood not far away. His expression instantly turned cold. “Mr. Xu, do you object?”

For the first time in all these years, Xu Nuan saw Xu Guyuan, who had never once looked her in the eye, standing before her in abject submission. He nodded again and again. “If Mr. Yu wants it, I'll gladly hand it over.”
