[Broken engagement that stays broken + marriage before love + mutually devoted + five-year age gap + uncle and nephew compete for the same woman + a long road to winning her back + face-slapping]
Su Wanqing dated her childhood sweetheart, Qin Heye, for five years. They agreed to register their marriage at the civil affairs bureau on Qixi Festival.
It was only when a staff member told her they were closing for the day that she realized she had been stood up.
When she returned to the Su family home, her half-sister, Su Ruyu, said, “I’m sorry, Sister. I didn’t know today was the day you and Brother Heye were going to register your marriage. It’s all my fault. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have asked him to pick me up from the airport.”
Qin Heye stepped in front of Su Ruyu. “If you have a problem, take it up with me. Don’t take it out on Ruyu. She’s in poor health, so stop making a scene. We can register our marriage anytime.”
“We’ll talk about getting married later. Ruyu’s health comes first. I’m staying to take care of her.”
Su Wanqing touched the fresh red marriage certificate in her bag and smiled. “It’s fine. We won’t need to register again. Take good care of Su Ruyu!”
Yes, take very good care of her, the kind that happens in bed.
At a Qin family banquet, the usually aloof and austere young uncle beamed with pride as he introduced her: “This is my wife, Su Wanqing. Heye, call her Auntie!”
Qin Heye was stunned, and the wineglass fell from his hand.
“How is this possible? Wanqing, you love me!”
One night, Qin Heye got thoroughly drunk and called her, his voice sincere and pleading. “Wanqing, let’s get back together. Divorce my uncle, and I’ll marry you!”
