Jiang Nuan Yu liked Liang Qi twice.
The first time, she was 20 years old. In the snowy night outside the club's corridor, he stood with a cigarette between his fingers, wearing only a thin shirt, his shoulders straight, his waist cinched.
She mustered the courage to approach, only to see a beautiful woman by his side. She had to retreat miserably.
Her crush was also her heartbreak. After crying her eyes out for a stranger, she thought she could let go and move on, then tidied up her emotions to continue her own life.
They met again when she was 26. She was the editor interviewing him, and he was the new "sugar daddy" sponsor.
He was mature, composed, shrewd, and unfathomably deep—a peak flower that could not be reached.
But on that summer night, her heart surged, and she said that earth-shattering sentence to him—
"I like you."
The man remained unfazed. He never believed in love at first sight, much less in liking someone based on mere words.
Regarding her confession, he neither accepted nor rejected it.
With the duration of a cigarette, he taught her what "an adult kiss" was.
"Want to be closer to me?" he asked her. "What do you consider close?"
In public, he was the unattainable Mr. Liang, calm and self-possessed.
He discussed business and culture with her, his gaze restrained, his manners impeccable.
In private, he held her in his arms, teasing her until she cried.
But he was gentle yet distant; she couldn't tell if that tenderness was exclusively hers or just his upbringing.
With a career opportunity presented to her, she chose to quietly leave for Paris, leaving this unanswered emotion behind.
She thought she had complete control and could extricate herself unscathed.
But he cornered her in a car late at night, clasped her wrist with one hand, pressed it against the door, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Didn't you say you liked me? Why are you hiding?"
"Jiang Nuan Yu," he pressed her down, his voice hoarse. "Who do you think I am? Do you think I'd willingly play this cat-and-mouse game with you?"
It was that night that his refined villainous mask was completely torn off.
He advanced step by step, she retreated inch by inch, crying like falling pear blossoms.
It was then she understood: some people, once you provoke them, you can never escape.
Later on, Jiang Nuan Yu discovered:
Mr. Liang appeared refined, but he wasn't "refined" at all.
When he said "I'll listen to you," he didn't actually "listen to you" at all.
Mr. Liang didn't say much with his mouth, but when he acted with his body, he had quite a lot to say.
Mr. Liang's mouth was never hard; in fact, his lips were quite soft.
It's just... other parts of him were too hard.
This book is also known as:
"Did Mr. Liang Trick Me Today?"
"Regarding Me Sleeping With My Sugar Daddy"
Reading Tips, please self-screen:
1. The male lead is truly a refined villain, a thousand-trick old fox, extremely repressed and cunning, mainly focused on seduction and capture, but a gentle living Bodhisattva.
2. 1V1, HE, the male lead has a previous girlfriend but remains chaste. The female lead is a growth-type character who will waver and struggle with herself in the middle, somewhat stubborn.
3. Slow burn, not a typical satisfying story, containing a lot of extreme push-and-pull that adults enjoy, but proceed with caution if you don't like this.
