[Cold Sworn Enemies in Public x Clingy Married Couple in Private]
Zhou Ningyue pushes the divorce papers over and says coldly, "Qin Zhi, sign them. The waiting period is over."
The man raises an eyebrow, full of cocky arrogance. "You want a divorce? You've never been able to escape my grasp, not since we were kids."
In public, they're sworn enemies.
They glare at each other at banquets and show no mercy when they trade barbs in the business world.
Everyone in the city knows they're at each other's throats and can't stand one another.
In private, he drops all his disguises in an instant.
He kneels right down in front of her.
Clutching her wrist tightly, he speaks in a soft, clingy voice, full of desperate pleading: "Honey, can't we just stay married?"
Zhou Ningyue's ears turn bright red. She panics and tries to pull her hand away. "Are you crazy? We're sworn enemies. Get up!"
He refuses, resting his forehead against the back of her hand.
His breath is warm and clinging, his tone sweet and doting. "I picked on you as a kid because that was the only way I knew how to tease you. I only act mean to you in public. I've had a crush on you for over a decade. Marrying you was part of my plan all along. How could I let you go?"
He gets up and gently kisses the corner of her flushed lips.
He nuzzles her cheek, his eyes full of affection. "I won't oppose you anymore. I'll stop pretending, okay?"
Looking at the face that's always arguing with her, her mind goes "buzz":
So this guy has been pretending to be her sworn enemy for over a decade, when he's loved her to the bone all along?
The next second, he snatches the divorce papers and crumples them into a ball:
Trying to run? Not a chance!
