Running into My Current Partner on a Blind Date

[Palliative care x investment banking elite = sly little fox x spoiled, shameless villain] 1. Not long after Lin Guluo returned to the country, she was set up on a blind date. Her match, Ray, was an overseas Chinese who had returned home. He was supposedly handsome and charming, from a prominent family, and of impeccable character: an ideal match. That "supposedly" came from the daughter of her third aunt's husband's nephew's neighbor. Ray claimed to have someone he loved, and since they were both being forced into blind dates, they chatted under their online aliases and got along wonderfully. 2. On the day they met, Lin Guluo was dressed to perfection in a gorgeous red dress. At a restaurant said to serve only one table a week, she met the man with the "impeccable character" in person. He sat there sprawled lazily, legs crossed, his peach-blossom eyes captivating. He looked exactly like her current boyfriend, who was away on a business trip and hadn't returned. If you ranked life's four great misfortunes by the order in which they could kill you, they'd be: a flood after a long drought, running into your love rival in a strange land, sharing your name with the top scholar, and meeting your current partner on a blind date. This was ridiculous. Lin Guluo smiled without warmth. "Mr. Ray, do you have a younger brother named Rong Lei? You know, someone who shares your body and has intermittent memory loss?" Rong Lei raised an eyebrow. "...I thought you said you were an independent woman who didn't want to marry or have kids?" Lin Guluo was speechless. "…" Rong Lei chuckled. "I think we're a good match. Whoever marries you will save thirty years of hard work, and whoever marries me will have everything they could want." Lin Guluo smiled. "Technically, living thirty years less also means thirty fewer years of hard work." Rong Lei nodded. "Lucky for you, I'm tough to kill. We're a perfect match." Thinking of everything they'd been through, Lin Guluo inexplicably nodded. From then on, another perfectly matched pair of bickering spouses joined Nanping's wealthy circles. 3. Rong Lei's birthday party brought together a crowd of his troublemaking friends. After Rong Lei finished singing I'm So Happy, he went out to take a call. When he returned, he heard Lin Guluo singing You're Not Really Happy with all her heart. The onlookers clapped along, whispered to one another, and gave them a thumbs-up: No wonder it's them. Their relationship is so fake! Rong Lei stood by the doorway, lighting a cigarette as he watched Lin Guluo sing with heartfelt emotion. His gaze was deep, and a teasing smile curled his lips. That night, Lin Guluo was held in his arms. His kisses fell on her, and they lost themselves in pleasure before the floor-to-ceiling windows. Afterward, Rong Lei lazily nibbled her ear and murmured, "Ruoruo, tell me, am I really happy?" 4. Hospital walls have heard more prayers than church walls, and airports have witnessed more sincere kisses than wedding halls.* I'm a compulsive gambler.
