You seemed busy, so I thought I'd get a head start.”Snow raised an eyebrow. “Really? Or is it because last night affected you so much that you couldn't stand being around me?”“Don't flatter yourself, Snow. You didn't affect me at all.”He smirked, stepping closer. “Is that so?”His fingers brushed my chin, tilting my face up. My pulse quickened. “We're at work,” I snapped, swatting his hand away. “This isn't professional.”“You're my wife,” he murmured. “You're supposed to obey me at all times.”I bit back a retort, a hint of rebellion flaring within. Slowly, I stepped closer, letting my fingers graze his chest. His smirk wavered for a second when his wolf reacted and Snow bit his lips.“Careful, Boss,” I purred seductively. “Don't hurt those lips. I'm sure plenty of girls would love to kiss them.”Snow leaned down, his lips brushing my ear. “And you? Are you dying for a taste?”Caught off guard, I hesitated, then regained my composure as I looked him in the eyes. “Unlike other girls, I have strong resistance against—”I didn't get a chance to finish when Snow's lips crashed onto mine with a fierce kiss that left me breathless.***************MATURE CONTENTParticipating in the Viral Book Call Contest.

After Shen Yiqiu woke up from a coma, the first thing he did was to make a noise to see Qin Qianrou, and the others ignored him. In her previous life, her whole family suffered a traffic accident and her parents died.
When she woke up from the rebirth, she understood that the creditor who was staying outside the ward was not a good person, and that her parents and friends who had traveled thousands of miles were actually coveting the inheritance. The only person who could save her from the predicament seemed to be the upright female reporter.
Qin Qianrou is not at all as gentle as her name, and has been a well-known local reporter for several years. She takes the interview questions that others don’t want to take over, she dares to interview the characters that others dare not, and she can do the areas that others can’t touch.
Do your best to restore the truth.
As capable and cold as her, she went to the hospital because of a strange call. The pale child on the hospital bed rushed over as soon as she saw her, screaming hoarsely, “Aunt Qin, save me!”
From then on, Qin Qianrou had a small tail beside her. At first, she would only follow her, occasionally peeking at her shyly. Later, the child became more and more powerful. Not only did he accompany her out for interviews, but he also protected her everywhere, eliminating all dangers.
Until one night, the moon was sultry, Shen Yiqiu threw herself into her arms again, and said sincerely, “Aunt Qin, I love you.”
