All she wanted was to convince Qin Zhan, a well-known patisserie, to join her in her new restaurant. But, everyone who she had sent returned with bad news: Rejected!
Rumor has it that Qin Zhan quit life as a reputable chef to stay in the small town and run a small noodle stand. No matter how much anyone offered to hire him, Qin Zhan had rejected every one. No! That man would not even hear a word before he showed everyone to the door.
Since everyone she sent returned with no good result, Gu Xin Ye had no other choice but to do everything herself! Just as Gu Xin Ye thought that she will be able to convince Qin Zhan with her persuasion skill and charm, a misunderstanding led her to work for Qin Zhan instead, as his helper!

"You're crazy. But I love you" He said to her.
**
She swore to never have anything to do with Socialites again. They were all backstabbing bastards and womanizers.
She also found it difficult to believe that anyone was actually going to love her for who she truly was...
Well, until Muchen came into the picture.
He got attracted to her the very first time he saw her two years ago.
It was the first time he saw a girl looking like a gangster. She had even beat up his cousin's bodyguards in front of him. And for the first time also, he allowed someone bully his dear cousin.
After cunningly have her work for him two years later, she pretended like it was their first meeting since she didn't want her employer to see her as troublesome.
'This is going to be fun' He thought.
The more he knew her, the more he got curious about her. But Sara didn't want anyone to ever find out about her past. Especially Mr Li.
**
"Mr Li. I think...I know you like me and I'm kind of flattered that you do. But I... I don't like you that way" Sara tried to convince Li Muchen and herself. She had to put a boundary between them now before things become more complicated.
He looked at her with an unreadable expression and took a step closer to her. "Its either you don't know it yet, or you know it but you're pretending. You do like me that way" He said in a low voice.
"Mister... Mister Li. You are my employer" She tried to focus as she couldn't stand his gaze.
"So should I fire you?" He asked.
"I didn't say that." She panicked. "What I am saying is.. is.." She stuttered
"Heya is like a sister to me. Which makes you like a brother to me"
Muchen moved even closer to her and smiled.
"You are getting something wrong Sara Wang. I..only have...one sister"
And with that said, he covered the remaining distance between them and locked his lips with hers. It was soft, it was gentle.
Sara's breath stopped. So did Muchen's. He had not actually intended to do that.
Sara's stomach tightened. Her heart raced. She really couldn't process what was going on right now.
He pulled away slightly to gauge her reaction. Her eyes were wide open but her focus was on his face.
He smiled at her and was gradually lifting his head when he felt her soft hands which had been by her side, around his neck. He was startled when he felt her pull him back towards her. This time, She initiated the kiss.
Me: Probably a sisterly kiss..lol
Sara Wang is never going to be Li Muchen's sister.

"Taking what's precious to every girl!" Dhruv growled.
With a single move, he teared up her Kurti, exposing her bra. Dhruv looked at her with lust filling in his eyes.
Meenakshi tried to resist him by moving her arms and legs, but he pinned her legs too with his own.
He leaned in and harshly sucked her lips, biting them hard under his teeth. He pinched his waist, making her scream which gave his tongue entry into her mouth. He raptured her whole mouth with his tongue, enjoying the pleasure it gave to him.

[Excerpt:]
"Come out. I want to talk."
It was a full minute before the ghost decided to walk through the wall and came to stand in the middle of the room, right over her death spot.
She didn't say anything for the longest of whiles and Xiajun had started to worry that Zhaohui would return, so he decided to initiate conversation.
"Your name is," Xiajun remembered from the file he had read, "Miss Zeng Suyin?"
The ghost nodded and stared wide-eyed at Xiajun. "Y-you can see me?"
Her voice was a hoarse whisper, one that suited the dead.
Xiajun tried to hide the shiver that went down his spine.
"I can. In fact, I may be the only one to do so. My confrere will be back any moment now, so we must get this done with. There are some questions I'd like to ask you," Xiajun said as he pulled a pad and a pen out of his pant pocket. Miss Suyin remained silent.
"First of all," he said as he glanced over the ghost of the woman once, "who killed you?"
