[Old House on Fire/Double Cleansing]
1.
Liang Tingxue was the adopted daughter of the Liang family. She was promised to the young master of the He family as a marriage bargaining chip by the Liang family when she just came of age.
But once Young Master He cheated on her, everyone wanted to laugh at her.
Lu Jinghan was born in a hairpin family. He has a handsome face that has always been cold and thin. A pair of sandalwood-colored Buddhist beads are wrapped around the bones of his wrists.
He has a sinister temper and quick and decisive methods. He is a big shot that no one dares to offend in the upper class circles of northern Beijing.

No one thought that these two people would meet.
However, they got married.
2.
One day after their marriage, Lu Jinghan and Liang Tingxue attended a business reception. The two had little conversation.
Everyone lamented that the rumors were indeed true. Mr. Lu's marriage to Miss Liang Si was just to find a mother for his adopted son. How could they have any real feelings for each other?
There was a "crack" sound in the noisy venue, and a goblet broke into pieces.
Mr. Lu, who had just raised a glass to everyone, had a cold expression on his face: "Whoever talks nonsense again will end up like this cup."
For just a moment, the venue was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
-
During the banquet, Liang Tingxue went to the corridor to enjoy the breeze.
A reporter saw this scene——
Miss Liang accidentally stepped on the air and fell into a warm embrace.
The big boss of the Lu family lifted her long jade-white fingers and caressed them carefully, then lowered his head and kissed her lips carelessly.
-
Liang Tingxue was worried about being seen, her cheeks were slightly red and she gently pushed his hand, "Don't make trouble."
Unexpectedly, Lu Jinghan's kiss became more fierce and violent.
He pinched her slender waist, his eyes were blazing, and his low and deep voice whispered in her ears: "Don't be angry, Qingqing, can I kneel down on the keyboard when I get home?"
