Don't Hold Back Around Me

*Theatrical little sweetheart x fake-serious, aloof CEO

The night Fu Shijin returned to the country, he had barely stepped off the plane when he went straight to the police station to bail someone out.

His unruly wife had gotten herself into trouble again.

The sham-married couple rarely saw each other. In front of everyone, Su Qi first hid in the man's arms, putting on a tearful performance of devoted marital love.

Once they left the police station, the proud, distinguished man lowered his eyes and gently rubbed the lipstick mark from his shirt. He glanced at Su Qi, who was holding his arm. "All right, the act is over."

-

Su Qi had landed herself a wealthy marriage alliance and become Mrs. Fu Shijin, wife of the famously chaste CEO who supposedly never went near women. Rumor had it she simply wasn't charming enough, and spent every day as a lonely wife.

As the rumors spread, Su Qi refused to accept it and vowed to prove them wrong.

After failing time and again, Su Qi joked with her friends that she was like a spider demon in the Web Cave, trying every trick in the book, while Fu Shijin was like Tang Sanzang in the Web Cave, unmoved as a rock.

Later, in the dead of night...

Right in front of Su Qi, Fu Shijin undid the cuff of his shirt with his long fingers, lowered his gaze, and smiled. "The Web Cave? Tang Sanzang? Too bad for you, I don't eat vegetarian."

When Duan Xiheng was seventeen, he stayed at the Ruan family's home.

The first time Ruan Sumo saw him, her girlish feelings grew wild as weeds.

Unfortunately, the boy was living under someone else's roof. He was aloof and quiet, and didn't care much for talking to people.

Ruan Sumo was always teasing and bullying him to get his attention. Even something as small as a loose shoelace was enough to make her call for him.

And every time, the tall, pine-straight boy in his school uniform would silently bend down and tie the spoiled girl's shoelaces for her.

He was obedient, but he didn't seem to like her very much.

Ruan Sumo's secret crush came to an abrupt end when Duan Xiheng graduated and went abroad.

She never expected that, years later, they would meet again because their elders arranged for them to marry.

The boy had grown into a man, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, proud and aloof. Yet when he faced her, he was just as silent as before.

After marriage, Ruan Sumo and Duan Xiheng were distant by day and occasionally passionate at night. Their relationship remained lukewarm until Duan Xiheng found the love letter she had written in high school but never sent.

Ruan Sumo thought he would mock her for it. She, who had always been proud, had once been pathetically in love with him.

But instead, he silently returned the unopened envelope and said nothing.

That night, Duan Xiheng behaved badly for the first time. After tormenting Ruan Sumo, he buried his face in the crook of her shoulder and murmured in relief:

"Thank goodness he was blind."

Ruan Sumo: ?

Why are you insulting yourself?
