Stolen Kiss

[Black Lotus Younger Man / Steals the Bride and Takes Her for Himself] 1. According to the rumors, Yu Jin came from an ordinary family, but was blessed with a face that could beguile anyone: snowy skin, raven-black hair, and bright, limpid eyes. The eldest son of the Lian family was devoted to her, pursuing her for years. The two finally announced their engagement to the public the year they graduated from college. At the engagement banquet, all the prominent families close to the Lians came to show their support. Her classmates also turned up to congratulate them, saying they had shipped the couple back then and were thrilled to see it become real. The atmosphere was electric, except for one young man who barged in halfway through. Still in his soccer uniform and drenched in sweat, he stood in the shadows, staring indifferently at the perfect couple exchanging engagement rings onstage. 2. Shortly after getting engaged, Yu Jin was sent abroad on assignment. Two years later, she finally returned home. That very night, Lian Yi was caught up in a scandal: he was photographed meeting a popular actress at a hotel late at night. The pictures spread, causing an uproar across the internet. Everyone thought Yu Jin would swallow her anger. Instead, Yu Jin threw a glass of ice water in his face and broke off the engagement in front of everyone. The next day, Xingyong Tech's new product launch dominated the trending topics, overshadowing #LianYiCheats. At the event, a beautiful simultaneous interpreter stunned the crowd with her skill. People dug up that she was the only daughter of a prestigious, bookish family, and had studied at top universities while mastering four languages. Soon, another trending topic appeared alongside it: people had noticed that the interpreter had exactly the same face as the woman rumored to be Lian Yi's former fiancee. The following February, after the spring snow melted and everything was settled, Yu Jin went to the Lian residence to return a keepsake. As she left, in the dazzling afternoon light, a handsome young man stood beneath a parasol tree. He blocked her way, his peach-blossom eyes blazing as he looked at her. "My brother and I look a lot alike. "I'm younger than him." He leaned close to her ear, his voice low and clear. "Whatever he can give you... I can give you too." Yu Jin slapped him and walked away. She never expected that, in time, everything he said would come true. "That slap." He bit her earlobe obsessively, murmuring, "It was the first time my sister-in-law touched me."
