A well-behaved little sourpuss × a fatherly heir to a wealthy Hong Kong family

The man engaged to Sister Aya was Liang Yansheng, the man Aya had been dating for two years.

Their eyes met. He remained completely composed as he took a sip of tea.

She was the youngest daughter of the Song family, sent to Hong Kong to attend a Christian secondary school. There, she met the tycoon Liang Yansheng, who had come to officiate at the school's opening ceremony.

After school, her boyfriend led her toward a Maybach. The window rolled down, and Liang Yansheng asked with amused interest, “You little rascal, are you dating?”

But he was looking at her.

She didn't understand the look in his eyes until her boyfriend's birthday, when the man stopped her, his voice alluring.

“Little Aya, come to me if you need money. He's only a high school student. Don't get tangled up with him and ruin his future.”

He felt sorry for his nephew.

He took her home and punished her, too.

Two years later, she vanished without a trace.

When they met again, all she wanted was to graduate peacefully and land a good job.

But he said, “Register our marriage with me. I only need you for 365 days. When the time is up, I'll end it on the dot. Three hundred million after taxes, and we'll be even.”

The media all said that Third Young Master Liang was always composed and refined, sitting alone above the crowd.

But they didn't know he was making a false marriage real, kissing her until he was on the verge of breaking down.

A warmth in the heart is affection; a pang in the heart is love.

He asked Aya, “Does it hurt your heart when you think of me?”

Aya shook her head. “Maybe I'm just not good enough.”

The man's eyes reddened. He had turned those words over in his heart ten thousand times, softening them until they could not hurt her at all.

“You are good enough, Aya, baby. You're so adorable that I love you more than you can imagine.”

He didn't want a divorce. He called her Aya, and everyone who loved her called her Aya.
