[Marriage first, love later x slow-burn romance x a sweet story long in the making]
[Flirtatious, doting CEO type x sweet, radiant comic artist]
When Jiang Zhi wakes up, a man she has met only a few times is demanding that she take responsibility.
That’s when she realizes she’s gotten herself into trouble.
The twenty-third day of the second lunar month is an auspicious day for getting married, moving house, and praying for a child.
On the night they register their marriage, Jiang Zhi steels herself and looks at the man who told her to go to bed early at nine o’clock. Then she asks the question on her mind: “Are we trying for a baby this early?”
The man chuckles.
After they marry, he advances step by step, while she retreats at every turn.
-
That day, he kisses the woman held in his arms with fervor. Jiang Zhi is caught completely off guard, and the hand pressed against his chest gradually loses its strength.
Only after a long while does Lu Huai slowly pull away.
His thumb gently brushes her swollen lower lip, and his voice is low and magnetic.
“Yeah. I was jealous.”
Jiang Zhi freezes, then turns her head to look in another direction.
Lu Huai takes her chin and turns her back to him, pecking her lips again.
“Jiang Zhi, don’t look at him. Look at me, okay?”
-
No matter how many years pass, Lu Huai will always remember that afternoon on the basketball court. The girl whose long hair was tossed by the wind, stomping her feet in frustration, suddenly walked right into his heart.
The woman who was supposed to become someone else’s girlfriend is now his wife.
-
Told from the heroine’s perspective: marriage first, love later. From the hero’s perspective: his secret crush comes true.
[Lu Huai: If I like someone, I’m going to make it obvious.]
