[Fresh, Independent Heroine vs. Obsessive, Love-Brained Hero | 1v1, Sweet and Angsty]
In other people's eyes, Qin Xiao was arrogant and unruly.
Only Yu Tang knew how witty and gentle he was, how he saw the best in her and indulged her little temper tantrums.
So for three years of secret marriage, she was content to play the devoted wife and daughter-in-law, thinking that life could go on like that and still be pretty good.
Until his childhood sweetheart returned from abroad. He paraded around with her, letting the world assume wedding bells were soon to ring, yet never once explaining that he was already married.
At last, Yu Tang saw the truth: this hidden marriage had never been about love.
She cut ties with the past and vanished from his world.
After she left, Qin Xiao carried on thriving.
Everyone sighed over the cold-hearted young master Qin. Even a pet could only keep his attention for three years.
Then one day, a late-night trending topic set the internet ablaze:
Yu Tang, heavily pregnant, was being carefully helped to her feet by the man beside her, while the powerful CEO knelt before her.
The next second, she raised her hand and slapped him hard. It took him a long moment to turn his face back around.
Afterward, she casually gathered up her long hair and smiled sweetly. "Sorry, my hand was itching again."
The man wasn't angry. Instead, he licked his lips and smiled. "I've got thick skin. I'm just right for you to practice on."
No one knew that while Yu Tang was gone, Qin Xiao had kept himself alive on memories.
And no one knew that years ago, he had already yearned for a girl who was as resilient and beautiful as a begonia.
