Name: Secrets of a Newlywed Marriage
Author: Tang Linmiao

Synopsis

[Both are each other's only one + sweet, doting romance + marriage first, love later + slow and steady + love grows over time]

[Possessive CEO who talks himself into falling in love × sweet, clear-headed wife who can't help being soft-hearted]

The feared Lord Huo of Hong Kong, a man who kept his distance from women, married a woman whose only plan was to have his children.

Their first meeting

She got straight to the point: “How many children does the Huo family expect? How many years do I have to have them in?”

Huo Yuzheng's gaze darkened. She'd brought up having children right away. This girl must be madly in love with him.

They got their marriage license in record time.

After the wedding

She nestled against him and asked softly, “Tonight… shall we try for a baby?”

His Adam's apple bobbed. His voice was cold. “No.”

The next morning, parched and sore, she clutched her aching waist and glared at him. “If we're not trying for a baby, why did you keep me up half the night? Taking advantage of me for free is shameful!”

She couldn't understand it. Why were a couple married by contract enjoying themselves every night but refusing to have a baby?

In bed, he kissed her until she cried every night, leaving her flushed from head to toe.

Out of bed, she stayed clear-headed and restrained, reminding herself every moment: “Have a baby.”

Later

He stood beneath the moonlight and messaged her: [Jiaojiao, what time will you finish working late? I'll come pick you up.]

Read, no reply.

He chased her to the parking lot and cornered her by the car. “Are you jealous?”

She stubbornly denied it. “No.”

He smiled. “I'll teach you. If you're jealous, just bite me.” Especially then.

He said, “I'll love anything Jiaojiao gives me.”

“You're the one I love most.”
