Waiting to Take Her in My Arms

(An emotionally clueless, wooden beauty x a sly, smiling fox)

Fu Yang, the eldest son of the wealthy Fu family, is a shrewd and seasoned man at the top. He runs the Fu business empire and is always the one scheming against others. Everyone calls him an old fox.

Yet this President Fu, the object of countless girls' adoration, was still unmarried at twenty-seven and had been reduced to finding a match through a family introduction.

Xia Wan thought herself cold-hearted. She didn't believe in love, but had no choice but to agree to the marriage her family arranged.

The man introduced by her elders was warm and courteous. His hand was large and warm when he held it out, and Xia Wan took it.

The man smiled and introduced himself. "I'm Fu Yang."

Xia Wan thought he must be a very gentle person.

After the wedding, the two reached an agreement: it was a fake marriage, a union in name only. Xia Wan had never intended to cross the line.

So when she ran into Fu Yang at the annual gala, chatting intimately with a strikingly beautiful woman, she turned and walked away.

But before she could take more than two steps, someone caught her by the wrist.

The coldness at the corner of Fu Yang's mouth slowly faded. Everyone watched as he took the cool, beautiful woman by the hand, his manner utterly intimate.

"This is my wife." Fu Yang raised Xia Wan's hand and kissed the tip of her jade-colored finger. "Mrs. Fu."

After the gala, Xia Wan confronted Fu Yang outright. "I told you, our marriage is secret and fake. We'll get divorced eventually!"

Fu Yang only smiled at her, his gaze growing darker. He gently pried open her hand and firmly laced their fingers together.

Xia Wan's face was cold as she started to speak, but he pressed a finger to her lips.

Even now, his domineering manner was still infused with tenderness.

Fu Yang smiled. "Wanwan, from the moment we got married, I never agreed to a divorce. Even if the marriage is fake."
