A rational CEO with an emotional disorder × a highly sensitive, fallen young gentleman
■Reunion after a long separation | Fake sibling relationship | Getting back together after a breakup
Blurb:
After the Qiao family fell on hard times, Qiao Nianzhen spent a fortune bringing home Qiao Zhiheng, her nominal older brother. A marriage certificate bound their fates tightly together.
But he was so difficult. After all kinds of twists and turns, he would finally let her hold him while they slept. He insisted on making three rules before allowing a kiss. Even after ordering a wedding ring, he didn't want to wear it. And refusing to hold a wedding was his bottom line.
Qiao Nianzhen agreed to everything. Whatever he asked, she would do, as long as he didn't leave.
But he still disappeared without a word.
Two years later, when she met Qiao Zhiheng again, she no longer bothered with all the roundabout coaxing she'd used to placate him before.
Can't hold you? Don't move. Let me hold you for a moment.
You think this is dirty? Then let's get even dirtier together.
Qiao Nianzhen used every means at her disposal to bring him back to her side and met all his demands. She couldn't understand why he still looked so listless and unhappy.
Falling in love with Qiao Nianzhen was only natural. The day Qiao Zhiheng realized he loved her, he ran away from her.
In two years, he broke the habit of sleeping in her arms. He threaded his wedding ring onto a necklace and wore it against his collarbone. He had kissed her once, and she'd kissed him twice, so they were more or less even. He could pay her back the money he owed soon.
Everything could be settled through fair trade.
Until her tears fell on his lips, burning and leaving an ache in his heart.
Forget it. He might as well accept it.
Qiao Zhiheng thought.
But at midnight, the subtle feeling that she was used to being with other people still made his heart skip several beats. Of course. She had everything a person could want, fame and fortune alike. Why would she spend her whole life stuck with such a difficult man as him?
But why did she have to let him discover all this only after he had fallen for her completely?
Qiao Zhiheng held her tightly, yet feared squeezing too hard might hurt her. “I'll do as you say. You can do whatever you want to me. I'll accept it all.”
“Zhenzhen, have you had a lot of lovers?”
She didn't answer.
■Little scenes:
“Qiao Zhiheng, can I kiss you?”
“Of course not...”
“Qiao Zhiheng, can I kiss you?”
“Just go to sleep. Why do you talk so much?”
“Qiao Zhiheng, can I kiss you?”
“It's dirty.”
“Qiao Nianzhen, can I still kiss you?”
