Passion Rekindled After Marriage

Cheng Fei Yu's grandfather owed Nan Xiao a favor and hoped she would marry Cheng Fei Yu, help him settle down, and get a family started so he could build a career. He wanted him to get out into the world instead of mooching off his family under the pretext of pursuing further studies. Cheng Fei Yu had been pampered from childhood and was domineering and self-willed. He wasn't interested in women, either. He didn't have any wild partying habits. He just had a remarkably broad range of hobbies: surfing, skiing, skydiving, scuba diving, horseback riding, rock climbing, fencing... He was a refined egoist. As a bargaining chip in a deal, Nan Xiao agreed to the old man's request. But after traveling a thousand miles to the city where Cheng Fei Yu lived to seek his help, she found that he'd abandoned her and gone off with a group of friends. Nan Xiao let him do as he pleased, adopting a hands-off, "free-range" approach to him. They should have treated each other with mutual respect and kept their distance. Then one night, after drinking, they gave in to passion. Cheng Fei Yu got a taste for it and couldn't stand being apart from her for even a moment. He had to know where she was and tell her how he felt. Where are you? I miss you. - She'd thought marriage would be nothing more than a bleak and desolate storm, so she'd eagerly looked forward to the calm after the rain. Who could have guessed that it would be like molten lava that never cooled, flowing silently beneath the surface, slow and unending? By the time she looked back, it had burned through the rest of their lives with its fierce, blazing passion. ◆ He was privileged before marriage, but suffered after. - Blurb for Steal His Cigarette ↓ To keep her relationship with Huo Qi An a secret, Chi Fei Ran left without saying goodbye and secretly gave birth to their child on her own. On the very first day she returned to the country, he dragged her off to register their marriage. That night, she snatched his cigarette and took a deep drag before crushing the ember. Huo Qi An said coolly, "Chi Fei Ran, do you really think I wouldn't dare touch you?" Chi Fei Ran didn't care. "I even had your child. Surely you wouldn't want your baby to lose its mother so soon after birth." Huo Qi An's voice turned icy. "I'm not joking. You know what I want to hear, don't you?" Chi Yan Ran thought for a moment, ready to tell him the truth. "Actually, I..." Huo Qi An suddenly cut her off. "Have you figured out how to explain why you chose the child over me back then?" Chi Fei Ran froze. Later, after they made their relationship public, everyone heard that Huo Qi An had turned down a business partner's invitation to go home and look after the child. When the news reached Chi Fei Ran, she casually bragged about it in front of everyone. "It's just a way to please me." Afterward, Huo Qi An pinned her against the door. The lively banquet hall was just on the other side. Huo Qi An slowly rubbed his thumb across her red lips. "A way to please you?" Theme: When husband and wife work together, nothing can stand in their way. Their united words are as fragrant as orchids.
