After Dark, President Shang, Please Keep That Studly Waist in Check

[Abstinence-Obsessed CEO vs. Cool, Badass Female Fire Captain + Marriage Before Love + Fated Bond + Power Couple + The Powerful One Bows His Head + Government Workplace + Love Triangle Chaos]

A raging fire bound Shang Linran and Lin Jin together.

On the day they registered their marriage, his suit was smoke-stained and rumpled, while she was still wearing her fire department uniform.

“Three years. We stay out of each other’s business,” Lin Jin declared first.

Because if she died in the line of duty, he would be a widower.

Little did she know, Shang Linran had been at the fire ten years ago that took both their fathers.

Everyone thought this was a marriage of convenience.

Until one night, drunk, he cornered her in front of the fire equipment rack.

Lin Jin pressed a fingertip to his burning chest. “Mr. Shang, please control yourself.”

His Adam’s apple bobbed, his breath searing. “Captain Lin… I think I’m on fire.”

“How serious is the fire?”

“An emergency of the highest level.”

Later, the self-control he had always prided himself on completely crumbled at her offhand joke: “My husband has a great waist.”

By day, she was the hero charging into a sea of flames. By night, he was her devoted servant, losing control for her.

He never dared tell her that, ten years ago, he had promised his father to take care of her for the rest of her life.

She never dared ask whether he would hate her if she never made it back alive.

When Xia Heng, who had been by her side since childhood, took up a scalpel to save lives and treat her illness for her, only to finally fall on the operating table…

Xiao Ran, who had stayed by her side for ten years, charged into the flames and never came back…

An earthquake buried her beneath the rubble as she rescued people.

The man clawed through the stones with his bare hands, his fingers slick with blood.

“Lin Jin! You owe me a lifetime. Not a single day less.”

Her faint reply came from beneath the rubble: “Mr. Shang, our three-year agreement has expired.”
