Kiss With Mr. CEO

Kiss With Mr. CEO

Fate is a funny thing. A random stranger Chen Yi kissed to piss off her ex turned out to be the CEO of the Li Corporations? Chen Yi, the girl with impeccable beauty that could trample the heavens and devastate earth-eyes like dark shimmering brown gemstones, hair like a cascade of chocolate brown color. Skin pale like snow. Features delicate and flawless like a porcelain doll. Abandoned and wronged by her family, cheated by her ex, betrayed by her cousin... Sounds usual, doesn't it? But things take an exciting turn when a certain CEO appears a at her doorstep with a contract in his hands. "It's your choice. Either pay for the losses caused by you or sign this contract and become my wife." One kiss and she was bound with the formidable CEO for her life. -Sneak peek into a chapter- "Mr. Li, could you exclude the term of the conjugal relationship between the married couple?" Li Luxian was momentarily surprised to hear that. Then the mischievous smile returned to his lips. "May I ask why? Could it be you don't find my body attractive enough?" Chen Yi was speechless. Of course, he was attractive. He was simply a god for his looks. Did he even need to ask that? But he couldn't expect her to sleep with him right after the marriage. They needed to familiarize themselves with each other first. That was a common-sense everyone with a relationship experience would know! Unless this impossible man had never been in a relationship before. Chen Yi looked at him. Could it be really so? Just what in seven hells Chen Yi was getting her into! Oh well, it's not like she had a choice. "It's not about that..." Chen Yi coughed. She didn't know what to say to this man. To moisten her dry throat she picked up a glass of water and chucked it down. "Not that? Could it be that you are worried that I wouldn't be able to pleasure you well enough?" With a raised eyebrow Li Luxian asked. Chen Yi spit out everything in her mouth. He did not just say that! "And if you are still worried then we could always try out something so that you could confirm beforehand that I am good enough" Li Luxian rose up from the chair. Chen Yi almost fell out of her chair. This was not happening! At least take your secretary in consideration who is still standing here!!! "Mr. Li I'll take my leave then." Secretary Zhang bowed with a stiff face and proceeded to leave her alone with his boss to give his boss some privacy to certify his skills. -End of sneak peek' Status: Ongoing.

Hello, Mr Li

Hello, Mr Li

"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. *** NOTE: This is a light drama. No rape or too many unclear misunderstanding. It is simple and straight to the point EXTRA NOTE: THE NOVEL IS NOW COMPLETED AND WOULD BE RE-EDITED. PLEASE BEAR WITH THE MISTAKES YOU'LL FIND! The sequel is currently ongoing so add it to your library!
