Milady's Fine Gentleman

----- “Alright.” “I better go now. I’ll be fine on my own now.” She grinned again while fixing her hair, tucking it neatly under the cap and turning up the hood to cover half of her face. Her guise was complete. She knew that she would pass as a boy with her current look. So she uncaringly opened the door. With one last smile she thanked him again and left. Just like that. Chen Linyun’s peace and quiet has been perturbed. ‘Take responsibility, somehow.’ He said in his mind, to the girl who just left, eyes glimmering. He gazed darkly at her fading silhouette but did not do anything anyway. ----- Chen Linyun had spent the night together in a dorm room with a drunken girl he had mistaken for a boy when he was still eighteen years old during his sophomore year in the university. Little did he know this short encounter will leave a mark in him, unable to let go of this woman who disappeared after that night. He was head-over-heels and had vowed to search for her in every part of the earth. Five years later, they met again, but the woman he once knew wasn't the same as she was before. Just after a few years, she became a domineering leader of her own empire. With his own charm, his adventure to chase the girl and convince her of his love starts in this story. It's a reverse role that the MC is a bit soft and domesticated but smart, while the FC is the strong-willed one - playful and teasing. Excerpt 2: ----- “Deal.” Chen Linyun stood up. “One more thing.” He grabbed her hand that was resting on the table. He gently guided it for her to stand up. She followed her lead and stood up, confused. The next thing she knew, she was enveloped in his warm embrace. “I missed you.” She blushed. She tried to push him away. His left hand was cradling the back of her head while his right hand secured her lower back. She was held tightly in his embrace. “Just a little longer.” She was helpless. “I’ll sue you for harassment.” “You wouldn’t do that.” He finally released her and stared at her blushing face. “This time I won’t leave your side.” ------ **PLEASE NOTE THE TRAGEDY TAG** Author has discord server and instagram!

THREATENED

"Chairman, while you have presented a very attractive package, I cannot accept your offer." Chen Linyun said.

He was back from his trip from the country side. As soon as he returned, he reconnected with the wife. They had survived two weeks of being physically separated for the first time after their marriage.

The next thing in his agenda was to turn down the pending offer from Shi Corporation. Xue Jinxu had forbidden him to take any part in that company's business. Thus, he was currently in the Chairman's room, playing go [1].

"Very well. Seems like you've already decided, Mr. Chen Linyun." Chairman Shi replied, unfazed.

Chen Linyun was at Shi Corporation to formally decline their offer to him for the Trading and Sourcing Consultant position.

They were playing go casually while discussing it.

Chen Linyun knew what he was doing. He was there not for the money but to scout and learn about the Shi's – their interests, and the people surrounding them.
