Strangers in Public, but My Stoic Husband Can't Stop Kissing Me in Private

[Marriage First, Love Later] [Slow-Burn Romance] [Age Gap] [Powerful Man Bows His Head]

Gentle, sensitive wallflower x restrained, icy, fatherly man

At twenty-two, Tan Fei’s life was turned upside down.

First, her wealthy biological father claimed her. Then her own mother pushed her into an arranged marriage.

Hoping to climb into the ranks of the top elite families, her mother set a trap for Qin You, forcing the Qin heir to marry Tan Fei.

Everyone in their circle knew Qin You as calm and restrained, refined and ascetic, a favored son of heaven at the very top of the pyramid.

He had never believed in love and prided himself on never falling for anyone.

On their wedding night, though, Qin You was as cold as if they were negotiating a business deal:

“I won’t love you.”

“Just keep out of trouble. I’ll give you everything a Mrs. Qin should have.”

Tan Fei remembered his words.

She didn’t expect his love. She only planned to save enough money to end the marriage when the time was right.

At a party one day, Qin You stood half a step away from her, his expression indifferent.

But in the lounge, Qin You grabbed her by the waist, pinned her against the door, and bent down to kiss her.

Tan Fei was breathless from the kiss. She pushed against his chest.

“Qin You... We’re still out in public...”

His gaze smoldered as he looked at her with affection.

“Baby, can I kiss you one more time?”

Later, Qin You was photographed by the media kissing a mysterious woman on the street.

When reporters pressed him for answers, the usually low-key Qin heir didn’t dodge the question. He simply raised his hand to show the wedding ring on his left ring finger.

“She’s my wife, the love of my life.”
