Secretly Hiding My Love

[Mutual Secret Crushes + Both Pure + Marriage Before Love + Slow-Burn Romance + Sweet Romance]

The marriage arranged by their families was originally meant for her younger sister, but her sister refused and secretly ran away, leaving Qi Wanqing to take her place.

And so, Qi Wanqing married Song Heqing, a man she'd met only once, and registered their marriage.

As the richest man in Xingcheng, he was known to outsiders as aloof, taciturn, and untouchable.

After they married, Qi Wanqing thought so too. They treated each other with polite respect, planning to spend three years together before parting as agreed.

But he would flirt with her in subtle ways, stirring her heart. And whenever she was bullied or doubted, he would stand firmly by her side and shield her from harm.

Later, Qi Wanqing accidentally came across a blurry photo of the man who had once saved her. The outline of his face seemed strikingly familiar, as if she'd seen it somewhere before.

Then Song Heqing appeared in her line of sight, and in that instant, the two faces overlapped. At last, she had a clear image to compare with the indistinct profile she'd remembered.

She suddenly understood: the man she had longed for over nine years had been right beside her all along.

Later, Song Heqing accidentally discovered a photo of a man's profile in Qi Wanqing's bedroom. Afraid she would leave him, he asked with a trembling voice,

“Who is he?”

“You like him, don't you?”

His eyes reddened as he asked hoarsely, “Don't look for him. Could you look at me instead?”

Qi Wanqing smiled and touched his face. “Why don't you take a closer look?”
