Win My Husband Over to Find My Child

Witty FL x Adorkable ML + a cute bun + a talking crochet fox ---------- After the sudden death of her boyfriend, Leslie Song has been single-handedly raising her precious little daughter Calliope. It’s a difficult life, but it’s a happy one. A freak accident puts an end to that. As Leslie lies dying on the road, watching Calliope breathe her last, she curses her helplessness. Calliope’s crochet fox seems to hear her. It opens its mouth and asks, “Do you want to see your daughter again? If so, follow me. Her soul has already left for another world.” Leslie agrees. That’s the last thing she remembers before losing consciousness. When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself—or rather, her soul—standing beside her unconscious body on a hospital bed. “How is this supposed to help me find Calliope!” she exclaims. “This is not your body. Your body is dead. This is my original host, Charlene Li,” explains the toy fox. “You can possess her body to find Calliope, but if you do, you must finish her uncompleted mission for her.” “And what mission is that?” “To marry the second most eligible CEO in the city.” ‘This,’ Leslie concludes, ‘is a scam.’ But she has no other choice. ********** Meanwhile, the second most eligible bachelor in the city, Calix Xu, is patting himself on the back for thwarting his grandmother’s attempts to marry him off. After exhausting all of his tricks and excuses, he has resorted to marrying the comatose daughter of the Li family. Calix smiles, pleased with himself, "Aren't I smart? Grandmother can do nothing now." But… why is he seeing his newly-wedded wife hovering beside her own body? Before he can react, his wife—the moving one—floats towards him. "Husband! Help me find my child!" “Your child?” Calix asks weakly before doing the only reasonable thing he can do in such a situation. He faints. ---------- WSA 2024 entry!

No One Would Say No to More Money

Once they got home, Calix and Leslie parted ways, going to their respective bedrooms. They met shortly to have a light dinner prepared by Aunt Wendy.

"Get a good night of sleep," said Calix before once again they did their separate activities, "I'll tell Edward to handle the case tomorrow."

Understanding that CEO Xu was worried about her, Leslie responded cheekily, "I'll look for articles and videos about Rome. Those will help me to sleep better."

Calix's helpless grin prompted Leslie to chuckle.

On the following day, as promised, Calix gave Edward a new order. Leslie was relaxing in the private lounge when the chief personal assistant was summoned by CEO Xu.

"Check this woman's bank account, the money flow, everything. Look for this jade pendant too."

Calix gave a few pieces of paper to Edward. Several photos of Sarah and the pendant were printed on them. Irene handed the information to him last night.
