The book was originally titled “Investment Banking Couples” but was renamed “We Live Together” upon publication.
Since you two are roommates, why don’t you ever leave work together?
Li Yifei shrugged. “I’m worried others might think she’s my girlfriend and that would lower my standards.”
Qian Fei scoffed, “I’m more afraid people will think I’m keeping a pretty boy who can’t even sweet-talk his way through life!”
Still reeling from her boyfriend’s betrayal, Qian Fei faced the harsh reality that the bank mortgage wouldn’t disappear with her wedding plans. She had borrowed her parents’ retirement savings to buy a house in Beijing and had to keep up with the mortgage payments. To ease her financial burden, she decided to rent out a room. Her new tenant, Li Yifei, was a proud young man who did little work and was clueless about basic life skills but had a sharp tongue. Despite being a big shot in the city, his attitude made their “cohabitation” anything but peaceful.
As Qian Fei and Li Yifei spent more time together at the investment bank, their initial disdain gradually turned into reliance on one another. Without realizing it, they influenced each other—Qian Fei, once indecisive and self-deprecating, began to become more assertive, while the demanding and critical Li Yifei grew more diligent. Just as their feelings started to blossom, obstacles emerged: Qian Fei’s wayward ex-boyfriend and Li Yifei’s powerful CEO father both appeared, complicating their budding romance. To forge a beautiful relationship, they would have to overcome numerous challenges.
