From Bib to Wedding Dress

(The contemporary sweet romance Stars in the Daylight is currently updating. Please give it a look, QAQ!)

[Blurb]

Pool Xiaoxiao, a lifelong couch potato, always thought she married her childhood friend Xu Shucheng because their parents arranged it.

Xu Shucheng was good in every way: handsome, fit, successful, and responsible. He treated her pretty well, too. Apart from being a little distant, he had almost no flaws.

Then one day, her handsome upperclassman, who had once pursued her before going abroad as an exchange student, returned home. With a grim expression, he told her, "Xu Shucheng isn't nearly as harmless as you think! I'm the one who had to go abroad because of him!"

Pool Xiaoxiao looked him up and down, noting how much his fashion sense had improved, and replied with utter sincerity, "Then you should thank him."

"..."

Everyone in the industry knew that Xu Shucheng, heir to Zhongcheng Group, was a man of unfathomable plans and extraordinary methods. Yet after getting married, he wore his wedding ring every day and never took it off. The entertainment gossip media had never found a single scandal connected to him. He was the very picture of discipline, restraint, and propriety.

Someone joked, "With Young Mr. Xu's attitude, the alliance between the Xu and Pool families is absolutely unbreakable!"

That didn't stop one beautiful young model after another from trying to get close to him.

At a media-industry dinner, the bigwigs were deep in conversation when Xu Shucheng took a call and stepped away from the table.

A beautiful screenwriter just starting out gathered her courage and casually walked over behind him, rehearsing what to say and how to act when she struck up a conversation. She wasn't expecting to hear the famously cool and refined man giving orders to the person on the other end of the phone, in the gentlest voice in the world:

"Don't stay up too late. Go to bed early, and remember to have a glass of milk before you sleep... Be good, okay, Yinyin?"

He was indifferent by nature, but she alone held the center of his heart. He cherished and protected her, treasuring her above all else, tying her bib for her and draping a wedding veil over her shoulders.

A nanny-like male lead in the guise of a cool, refined gentleman × a slow, daydreaming little fairy in the guise of a cool girl, just like him (the heroine is slow to catch on about her feelings for the male lead, not slow-witted)

Reader's guide: One-on-one romance, both are each other's first. Sweet childhood-friends romance, with a mostly everyday-life plot and occasional face-slapping.

Her Heart's Stirring

[Blurb]

In the days before the eldest daughter of the Xi family, Xi Yi'an, returned to the country, the sons and daughters of the Fan family tacitly vanished from their social circles for a while.

A newly rich second-generation heir who had just entered Haishi's upper society was baffled, so a friend kindly explained:

The current head of the Fan family was the eldest daughter of the Xi family's biological father. Decades ago, he married into the Xi family and built the empire they now had.

Under the agreement made back then, Xi Yi'an's authority over the Fan family's companies was second only to her father's.

As for the children of the father's second marriage and his children born out of wedlock, they couldn't compare with Xi Yi'an at all.

And that was before you even considered the success Xi Yi'an had achieved over the years by building the Xi family's fashion empire from the ground up. Few in their circles dared to measure themselves against her.

With such an accomplished figure standing before them, her less capable siblings naturally didn't dare come out and "make fools of themselves" at a time like this.

Shang Yanbai happened to be there as people discussed the eldest daughter of the Xi family.

Others praised the never-before-seen Xi Yi'an to the skies, but he offered no opinion and didn't spare her a glance.

Naturally, he had the clout to act that way.

Later, outside the same private room at the same bar,

someone happened to see the overconfident young Mr. Shang step in front of Xi Yi'an, grinning shamelessly.

"President Xi, would you consider keeping me? I've got a pretty fair complexion."

Xi Yi'an gave the man known as "the dream of countless Haishi socialites" a cold glance. "Get lost."

Shang Yanbai's club was newly opened, and after much coaxing and pleading, he managed to get Xi Yi'an to attend as the ribbon-cutting guest.

At the reception after the ceremony, Xi Yi'an was deep in conversation with a rising business star.

Shang Yanbai walked over with a glass of juice and casually swapped it for the red wine in her hand. "Wife, don't drink too much."

Xi Yi'an glanced at him coolly, her red lips parting. "What did you call me?"

The arrogant Young Mr. Shang gave a slight cough and immediately corrected himself. "President Xi."

Under the business star's complicated gaze, Young Mr. Shang said with a straight face, "I forgot the password again, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you and stay at your place tonight."

That word "again" was rather telling.
