He ✖️ marriage first, love later ✖️ sweet romance
Shen Qiyu had his lost nephew to thank for reuniting him with Song Qing.
At the police station.
Song Qing: “Mom, I really do have a boyfriend. I’ll bring him home to meet you this weekend.”
Song Qing turned to Shen Qiyu. “Could you...?”
Shen Qiyu: “I’d love to!”
Song Qing: “?”
Shen Qiyu: [Wasn’t she going to ask if he’d pretend to be her boyfriend? That’s how it always happens in the novels she reads.]
Whatever. He might as well steal the role of her pretend boyfriend and happily go meet her mother.
“You said I could ask you for help. Marry me. I don’t want to be in an arranged marriage with her.”
Shen Qiyu cried in front of her for the first time, but all he got in return was, “I’m sorry. Marriage isn’t a game.”
Later, as she looked at photo after photo and letter after letter, she realized there had never been an arranged marriage. It had all been planned long ago: a love regained, and a long-held wish finally fulfilled.
It's so good-looking and has been added to your bookshelf! [Learned]
