Just to clarify something, I’m not dropping any of my series.
Does anyone know if the protagonist in Peach Blossom Debt is the seme or uke?

The ticks of the clocks interweave disorderly beside the ear, like an intense drum fastening the heartbeat all at once.
Tao Yunyun is operating her brain at high-speed, silently repeating several times what Liang Jing warned her about: Remember to be dignified, this isn't a problem, right now even if she has a bigger gut, she will not even dare to leave the room. Have to be agile when speaking, having this many clocks urging you, who dare to be late for even a second? As for being superstitious, she doesn't believe in these kinds of things, therefore she is completely out of the range of worriness.
Humble, not too smart, these two things are the difficult ones.
While she is thinking, the door suddenly opens and a young man with outstanding presence walks in.
"Hello, I'm Wang Zhong Ding."
The moment the two people shake hands, Tao Yunyun's eyes seem to turn into numerous apertures.
(T/N: Aperture = A space through which light passes in an optical or photographic instrument, especially the variable opening by which light enters a camera. It’s mean that when seeing WZD, it is like light shining through Tao Yunyun’s eyes.)
Wang Zhong Ding rarely appears in public, therefore Tao Yunyun doesn't know anything at all about his appearance. In her mind, a numberphile boss should wear thick glasses, have a stiff and rigid expression with a bureaucratic attitude.
However, in front of her is a Wang Zhong Ding wearing a titanium gray western-styles suit, with a firm and neat outline and a rich flavor of pure masculinity.
If using four words to describe this person, it will be – Resolute! Firm! Tall! Prideful!
Tao Yunyun is even more surprised that, even though Wang Zhong Ding isn't smiling, his eyes are still very amiable.
"Please sit down!" Wang Zhong Ding says.
Tao Yunyun's nervousness has slowed down a lot, after sitting down, her beautiful almond eyes sparkle incessantly in front of Wang Zhong Ding. The pair of eyes are bright but not lecherous, obedient yet doesn't lose dignity, her acting indeed isn't bad.
However, Wang Zhong Ding is only concerned about one thing, "Why don't you say anything?"
"I'm waiting for you to speak first."
"You aren't going to ask about the film?"
"Oh, I just remembered," Tao Yunyun exposes a lovable and foolish smile, "I tend to forget when I'm nervous."
Wang Zhong Ding faintly smiles, it seems like he is already comfortable with the simple and pure Tao Yunyun.
"Mr. Wang, you have many clocks and watches here!"
"This is merely a small portion, the majority are at home."
Tao Yunyun opens her round eyes wide, "Ah! I thought all of it was on display."
"That's not all, there are some merged into the decoration, such as the one on the wall behind you."
Tao Yunyun has guessed earlier that the background of the four-column LCD screen is an unusual speed dial, but still put on a unbelievable expression, "That is a dial? I completely didn't notice at all!"
Wang Zhong Ding points to a simple one, "Then do you see the row of bonsai plants layout as an equation?"
Tao Yunyun repeats her surprised expression again, "Really?"
Wang Zhong Ding smiles again.
The smile on Wang Zhong Ding face grows even wider, Tao Yunyun continues to be humble, simple and honest, acting even more excitedly. Whatever Wang Zhong Ding talks about, comes out as a pleasant surprise, everything is classy. Moreover she really knows how to grasp the moment, remembering the four words "be direct and efficient" that Liang Jing told her and know when to stop. Before the given time is reached, they already bid farewell refreshingly.
Liang Jing's search for that man is once again fruitless, when he arrives at the entrance of the company, he sees Tao Yunyun coming out from the hallway.
"How was it?" Liang Jing asks.
Tao Yunyun smiles and puts up an OK sign (thumbs up), "Our chat was very delightful."
Unaware of the reason, Liang Jing suddenly feels an ominous premonition, he rushes toward Wang Zhong Ding's office, but is stopped by his assistant at the door.
"You don't have to come in, Mr. Wang wants me to tell you that he doesn't like a shrewd person, but it doesn't mean that he will certainly like someone stupid.
(T/N: The word stupid was my choice of word because the literal translation of that was something more rude because it have curse word in it)
Liang Jing, "……"
