Excerpts from the story:

"You know," he said after a while, "when you said you were going out to commit a crime, I half expected you to be robbing a bank or something."

Meilin snorted. "Please. I have more finesse than that. Besides, why steal money when you can steal someone's peace of mind?"

A chuckle escaped Meilin's lips despite herself. "You're waltzing into a hurricane, Zhao Jingshen." She was talking about being in a relationship with her.

"Then be my eye of the storm," he challenged, swinging open his car door with theatrical flair. "Shall we embrace the tempest?"

Meilin arched an eyebrow. "Who would believe the ice-cold CEO of Zhao Corporation could melt so thoroughly?"

"Well!" Laughter danced in his voice. "What's a man to do when his wife decides to play runaway bride? I'd turn myself inside out if it meant keeping you in my orbit."
