[The cool and refined gentleman of high society × the fallen heiress, marriage first, love later / love grows with time]
A business marriage briefly binds Wen Ruxu and Zhou Fuqing together.
One is a fallen heiress trying to save her family business; the other is the Zhou family heir, who needs marriage as a shield.
In public, they play the loving couple. In private, they are contract partners who barely know each other.
They thought this marriage was nothing more than a transaction in which each got what they needed. Then, one night, drunk and holding Wen Ruxu close, Zhou Fuqing murmured, “Wen Ruxu... you win.” In this game called marriage, he was the first to lose.
Wen Ruxu looked at the plain band now adorning her ring finger and asked softly, “Zhou Fuqing, do you know when you lost?”
A little scene:
“Mr. Zhou, it’s been a pleasure working with you.”
“Miss Wen, I hope we’re both clear about the boundaries between us.”
“Wen Ruxu, are you leaving?”
After drinking, Zhou Fuqing seemed especially clingy. His burning breath washed over Wen Ruxu’s fair neck.
“Mr. Zhou, you’re drunk.”
“Mm, I am. So you have to stay and keep me company.”
“And don’t call me Mr. Zhou anymore.” Zhou Fuqing clamped a hand around the back of Wen Ruxu’s neck, gripping hard enough to hurt, while his other arm cinched around her waist, as if he meant to press her right into his body.
It's quite beautiful, relatively delicate, step by step, the water flows slowly, hehe.
