[Marriage Before Love] [Contract Marriage] [Workplace] [Rivals] [Mutual First Love] [Happy Ending]
The first meeting between Xiao Zhan and Lin Xia can be summed up in one word: "farce."
Lin Xia's inner monologue: If I'd known all this would happen, I never should have tried to "play the hero." Now I've gotten myself mixed up in it.
Xiao Zhan's inner monologue: Since we started out as a "farce," why not keep it up for the rest of our lives?
Memorable scenes
Scene One:
Everyone in the private room watched as I slowly leaned closer, all of them eagerly waiting. But just as I was about to bite down, I felt a force pull me to the side. When I looked back, I saw Xiao Zhan snap the biscuit that Ji Jiamu was biting into with his own hands. Then, without a care in the world, he popped his half of it into his mouth...
Scene Two:
She gazed at me through tear-filled eyes, as if I were the one who didn't belong. "What does it look like to love someone? Like this? Does loving someone mean you have to ruin their marriage?"
Scene Three:
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan parted the crowd and strode toward Lin Xia with resolute steps. He stopped in front of her and spoke softly, so only the two of them could hear: "I believe you." Then he turned to face everyone, his gaze sweeping over them with a steely expression. His voice was low, yet carried unquestionable authority. "Until the matter has been properly investigated, nobody should jump to conclusions." He paused, then continued, "It's work hours. Don't you all have work to do?"
