She Is a Rose

It was November, and winter was approaching. The cold wind outside was wanton and there were few people, but Nightless City was still bustling with people.

With a cigarette in her mouth, Zhou Mi leaned over to borrow the fire in the hands of others and looked at the person sitting in the darkest corner of the booth.

The last time he saw this person was in a villa in the suburbs of San Francisco. The man was wearing a white cotton shirt and holding a bucket of water that was about to be spilled. He casually splashed it around the flowers and took care of the rose garden. He coldly rejected his invitation to return to China.

"Roses are too beautiful. They can't be taken care of."

Zhou Mi leaned against the carved wooden railing and looked at his disorderly watering method. She lowered her head and sneered." I think you need a mistress to take care of you."

The prophecy came true.

The man had a cigarette in his hand, his long and narrow eyes half-opened, and his expression was lazy and easy-going. The illusory colors spinning above his head cast at the man's feet, flickering.

"Do you know that your fiancée is a joke in this circle?" Zhou Mi moved closer to him, a malicious look on her handsome face.

The man raised his hand and took a puff of his cigarette with his eyes narrowed. He did not say anything.

"You must have investigated this matter before. How could your stepmother have good intentions? She hasn't returned yet, and she already arranged this marriage for you. Are you going to endure it?"

"Can you help me marry that woman?" Qin Yanfeng glanced at him and flicked the ashes off his cigarette with his index finger.

Zhou Mi stopped and frowned as she leaned back." My old man isn't willing... Why don't I get someone to ruin it?"

The man's brows furrowed slightly before relaxing." Since she could persuade the old man to agree to this marriage, she must have thought it through. So what if she waits?"

Qin Yanfeng put out the remaining half of his cigarette in the ashtray on the low table and slowly got up. His voice was slightly low." You guys have fun. I'll leave first."

Zhou Mi didn't ask her to stay. She knew that this person's heart had always been indifferent. The young lady she found also expressionlessly told her to go to the side, but...

He thought of Shen Manzhi, a woman who was born and raised in Huai City. It was impossible for him not to have seen that woman before. She was really seductive.

In the guest room of the Kyoko Club.

In the gilded room, there was a person lying on the pure white bed. Her skin was cold and fair, and her black hair was scattered on the pillow. The woman was wearing a black turtleneck sweater pressed under dark jeans, and her silhouette had a deep waist.

"Don't we have to go back tonight? It's time to get up."

Jing Mo was leaning against the dressing table, flipping through a stack of documents.

The person on the bed was very awake. Her half-opened eyes fell on one point. After a moment, she used the strength of her elbow to support herself to sit up.

Jing Mo looked up when he heard the voice. He saw the woman's slender and soft body lazily outlining her curves. Her black hair slid down her shoulders. Obviously, she didn't expose any part of her body, but it added to her unique temperament and taste, attracting people to approach her.

"I'm going back for two days."

"Your engagement party is in two days." Jing Mo reminded.

"It's fine." The woman lifted her long hair and tied it up casually before getting out of bed and going to the bathroom.

Jing Mo looked at her back and walked over to lean against the door of the bathroom." Although the eldest son of the Qin family has been abandoned overseas and the Qin family has never mentioned it to the outside world all these years, everyone in Huai City thinks that he's an abandoned child. However, our people have sent news that other than his excellent grades and social activities in school, we haven't found out anything about him outside. He's not simple."

Shen Manzhi turned on the water in the sink and washed his face. His actions were clean and neat. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she clicked her tongue. How was this free-range?

"Everyone knows that this marriage is being plotted against by the two families. He should be able to use the principle of playing along."

Being schemed by his own family to marry a woman with a bad reputation in Huai City's noble circle, wasn't this a joke?

Jing Mo watched as she pulled down the wet collar in front of her, pulled out an inner shirt from the bed, and took out a turtleneck sweater from the storage box. She pulled the hem with one hand and lowered her head to take off the sweater with the help of her waist.

Under the light, the woman's profile was like a butterfly spreading its wings. She was fair and translucent. There was a crescent moon tattoo on her shoulder blade. Her figure was soft and attractive.

Jing Mo frowned." You mean that man will think of a way to dissolve this marriage?"

She didn't answer and continued to tidy her clothes." Do you think this marriage is good or bad for me?"

The woman had already changed into a dark red turtleneck sweater, half of which was tucked into her jeans. Her skin was fairer, and she looked energetic, but she still looked lazy.

"The Qin family doesn't pay much attention to it, but his mother's family is supporting him from behind. He is receiving education and cultivating his business ability overseas. A person like him can't be controlled by his stepmother for the rest of his life. He will definitely have a place in the Qin family's business. He might be of help to you, but…"

The woman stood in front of the dressing table and raised a lipstick with her eyebrows lowered." There's no need."

Jing Mo smiled and didn't continue." I've arranged a car for you. You can't be too embarrassed when you go back there."

The woman's lips were only slightly tinted, but they became even more vibrant." Yes, I'll go out through the front door."

Jing Mo raised his eyebrows." Sure."

At the main entrance of the Kyuo Club.

Qin Yanfeng returned from abroad. His friends welcomed him for dinner and he drank some wine at the clubhouse. He had never been close to women, but he was arranged to get married. It was called complementing each other.

The corners of the man's lips moved slightly. His expression was normal, but his indifference over the years prevented him from revealing his emotions. She knew that he would come back sooner or later, and the engagement party was just the beginning.

Zhou Mi had said something wrong. He really hadn't investigated that woman. Everyone knew that her reputation was bad. Someone had sent him a letter, so there was no need for him to investigate.

That was why he did not know that it was Shen Manzhi when he saw the woman standing a few meters away from him.

The man tilted his head and lit a lady's cigarette. His loose hair was scattered around his ears, his red lips were seductive, and his dark red turtleneck sweater was half-tied. His back was very straight, but his expression and slightly bent leg highlighted his laziness.

A black Rolls-Royce slowly stopped in front of the woman. Shen Manzhi's eyes moved slightly. Did Jing Mo think that her reputation was not bad enough?

The luxury car drove into the Shen family's villa. A young woman stood in the courtyard.

Shen Manzhi closed the car door and greeted the person opposite him.

The second daughter of the Shen family, Shen Luo. She was a beauty standing there without saying anything.

When she saw the car behind Shen Manzhi, she could not help but smile." Sister is really lucky…"

Shen Manzhi rarely came back. The outside world said that she had a perverse personality, drank too much and fought too much. The old man of the Shen family did not really tolerate her.

So she didn't want to pay attention to the people here. She didn't even look at Shen Luo and walked away.

"Can sister's body take it? I asked the kitchen to make some nourishing soup. Sister will be at home for the next two days. Drink more to nourish your body. Don't be ruined by men…"

Shen Luo was interrupted. Shen Manzhi stood on the steps of the door and finally looked at Shen Luo with his beautiful eyes.

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

But just as Amelia’s heart begins to open up to Matteo’s sincerity, Caleb comes crawling back, determined to ruin her life. *** 【Excerpt】 “Oh?” Matteo asked, and Amelia caught a hint of amusement in his voice. “Then pray tell, what did we converse about?” Amelia swallowed. Good heavens, he was so close. She could barely even breathe, afraid that every movement she made would just amplify how loud her heartbeat was. It was racing like a bullet train at this point, and she felt it clog at her throat, refusing her a chance to speak. “I… I…I―” “I have no girlfriend, Amelia,” Matteo said. “And before you overthink, I do not have a wife in secret either.” His fingers didn’t let go of her wrist, and instead, it even tightened its grip. It wasn’t painful in the slightest, but it sent surges of electricity rushing through her body as though she had been struck by lightning in the most thrilling of ways. A coy smile curved his lips, and he leaned in just the slightest. His lips were now a hair’s breadth away from hers, and Amelia instinctively held her breath. “Unless, perhaps you would like to volunteer?”
