[Marriage before love / long-planned scheme / Pei Zhen / Hu Xiu] “We stay out of each other's business.” That was the only agreement between Hu Xiu and Pei Zhen after their families arranged their marriage.
For three months, they were like roommates. They went about their own business by day and shared a bed while dreaming separate dreams at night.
Keeping her identity as Mrs. Pei a secret, Hu Xiu landed a job at Xiao Zhiyu's architectural design firm on her own merits. But on her first day, she discovered that the firm's biggest client was none other than Pei Zhen, president of Zhuling Group.
At their first business meeting, they pretended to be strangers.
He was the sharp-eyed client and company president behind gold-rimmed glasses, strict and demanding, never willing to yield.
She was a new designer ordered to complete an impossible task in two days, stubbornly rising to the challenge and refusing to back down.
He kept showing up at her company, using work as an excuse to blur the line between business and personal life:
He ordered afternoon tea for the whole office just to give her chocolate.
He offered to drive her home after work, then “happened” to drop off all her colleagues first.
He sent her detailed materials late at night, with the note, “Don't stay up too late.”
Hu Xiu thought their business relationship was simply getting a little blurry, until
She found a yellowed bandage wrapper treasured in the drawer of Pei Zhen's office.
The kindness she'd shown a strange boy on a rainy day ten years ago had been kept by him ever since.
“I schemed for everything to get this marriage, then waited ten years for love.”
When Xiao Zhiyu also fell for Hu Xiu, Pei Zhen finally dropped his mask of restraint:
“Hu Xiu, this reunion isn't a coincidence. It's part of the life I've been planning for you all along.”
Looks good, looks good, looks good, looks good, looks good!!!!!! God, I really like Xiaoxiao, and I went to watch the drama just for her, but I really don't like the emotional line between the male and female protagonists. It always feels too abrupt and deliberate, and the second male lead's acting skills are just too good!! I gave up on the show before I was halfway through it. I couldn't help it. I loved the relationship between the second male lead and the female lead so much. The feelings of the second male lead are more delicate, okay~~ If I were a shameless person, I would definitely like Pei Zhen like this!! The author writes so well!!!
I have been following this for a month, and I hope the author can continue writing and improve this novel.
It's really beautiful. I really like the characters in it, including the storyline, which is also very compact. The author's writing style is also very good. The author updates it quickly. I really like it.
