[Marriage First, Love Later + A Battle Between Two Love Experts + One-on-One, Both Pure + Slow-Burning Romance + Overwhelmingly Sweet]
[Mr. Fox & Qi Yanzhi x Catlike Beauty & Ming Yuan]
Ming Yuan got married.
She married Qi Yanzhi, the famously charming head of the Qi family in the capital: 189 centimeters tall, with peach-blossom eyes and a beauty mark beneath one eye. His smile could steal anyone's soul.
The Ming and Qi families had arranged their marriage.
She signed an agreement: three years as a couple in name only, no interference in each other's lives, then divorce when the term ended.
On their wedding night, they lay on a bed two meters wide, with a clear boundary between them.
She said, "I'm not interested in you."
He smiled. "Funny, neither am I."
Two great players in the game of love, each more skilled at putting on an act than the other.
One thought he was putting on a show.
The other thought she was watching one.
Then he was the first to get caught up in it.
That day, she came back from a business dinner slightly tipsy, her cheeks flushed like peach blossoms, her high heels tossed crookedly across the floor.
He was waiting for her in the entryway.
Waiting for her to stumble into his arms, waiting for her to tilt her head up and look at him with those dewy eyes.
"Qi Yanzhi?" She blinked. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
He said nothing.
The next second, he had her pinned against the wall.
His hand gripped her waist.
"Ming Yuan." He lowered his head, pressed his forehead to hers, his breath ragged and burning. "I've changed my mind."
She froze.
His peach-blossom eyes were inches from hers, filled with a heat she'd never seen before, so intense it left her breathless.
"Let's void the agreement." His voice was so hoarse it barely sounded like him. "I can't keep pretending."
His fingers threaded through her hair and clasped the back of her neck. Then he kissed her.
"I love you."
