Little Cherry

Shen Zhizhou was in the middle of a game, his long fingers dancing effortlessly across the keyboard. When the match ended, a message appeared:

Winner winner, chicken dinner.

His phone suddenly rang. It was his grandfather. "Zhizhou, the daughter of your third aunt's son's neighbor's classmate is coming to City A for university. Our families are close, so they've entrusted their girl to us. You're the only one living in City A, so you need to take good care of her for a few days..."

"..."

Shen Zhizhou barely paid attention before hanging up.

The next day, the doorbell rang.

Still grumpy from being woken up, Shen Zhizhou opened the door and lazily lifted his eyelids. A little girl stood outside, licking an ice cream. Her round, deer-like eyes glistened, and her messy hair was casually tied into a little tuft at the back of her head.

Luo Ying greeted him warmly, smiling so that her little dimples showed. "Hello, big brother."

Shen Zhizhou put one hand in his pocket and lowered his eyes to look her over. Her cuteness made his heart quiver.

>>> Contemporary romance coming soon: Bewitched

[1]

The media were abuzz with rumors that Lu Qinian, the foremost figure in the business world, had married Yun Chu, the spoiled and willful eldest daughter of the Yun family.

There was proof, too.

On the day they registered their marriage at the civil affairs bureau, the two walked out the entrance, fell silent for three seconds, then turned around at the same time.

Yun Chu got into a Maserati.

Lu Qinian opened the door of a Rolls-Royce and drove straight off.

Netizen: What perfect coordination!

Netizen: You can tell at a glance it's a marriage of convenience!

Netizen: How could Lu Qinian like Yun Chu? He'd have to be crazy to like that spoiled heiress!

[2]

Until one day, Lu Qinian showed up at a dinner party without touching a drop of alcohol.

Someone asked in surprise, "Why aren't you drinking, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Qinian smiled faintly. "I have to drive later, so it wouldn't be convenient."

"..." What was the driver for, then?

Before the evening was over, Lu Qinian glanced at his watch and rose gracefully.

Someone asked, "Leaving already, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Qinian replied warmly, "Something urgent came up. I'm going to pick up a young friend."

With half an hour to go before Yun Chu's class ended, Lu Qinian raced over by car, but still arrived two minutes late.

The young woman was clutching a book, standing beside the car and glaring at him with a resentful expression.

Lu Qinian loosened his tie, stepped out in his immaculate suit, rubbed her head, and gathered her into his arms. He spent ages soothing her.

In the end, the photo spread like wildfire across the internet.

Netizen: Excuse me!?

Netizen: What happened to the marriage of convenience!??

[3]

At the start of their marriage, Lu Qinian thought he'd married a spoiled heiress who went out partying all the time. They each did their own thing, which was easy and satisfying.

A few months later, Lu Qinian realized he'd practically married a little tyrant, and spent every day coaxing her to come home :)
