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!

CHECKING ON YOU (2)

For a time she had stopped crying. But they stayed in their position. She stayed in his warm embrace, not giving out any hint of movement.

They were seated in the couch, in her dimly lit apartment. The atmosphere was gloomy.

"Are you feeling better now?" Chen Linyun asked.

"Mhmm.." She said, without moving a muscle.

Then she escaped his embrace.

"Chen Linyun." She stared at his eyes. 'Can I trust you?' She said in her mind, but could not say with her mouth.

She gazed towards the floor. Her brother trusted the girl without questions. Was she doing the same mistake? Will it end up the same?

'No, Chen Linyun is different.' She pursed her lips. Her brows were furrowed with anxiety.

"Chen Linyun… I want to… put my trust on you… but…" She said, in almost a whisper. She trailed off, not even being able to finish.

Chen Linyun understood her context. He grabbed both her hands, and enveloped those within his grasp.
