A Perfect Match

[The novel is complete. Please leave a five-star rating, and thank you all.]

Tan Jin never expected that the next time she saw Pei Zhiyu would be at a matchmaking banquet organized by their elders.

Everyone knew they were childhood friends with a close bond, but few knew they had once shared a wildly improper secret relationship.

At the banquet, they tacitly agreed to keep up appearances.

Tan Jin kept calling him "Big Brother Zhiyu" just to get under his skin.

But she didn't expect to run into Pei Zhiyu again the very next day.

Dressed in a bespoke suit, the refined and distinguished man calmly blocked her path. "We need to talk."

Tan Jin's expression was cool. "About what?"

Pei Zhiyu: "A marriage of convenience. With me."

-

After the wedding, they kept to themselves and each got what they needed, like strangers living under the same roof.

Until one day, Tan Jin got drunk and was brought home by a man.

Pei Zhiyu, who never let his emotions show, stood there with hangover medicine in hand and a dark expression. "Who brought you home?"

Tan Jin, tipsy, tilted her head and smiled at him. "Does a marriage where we each get what we need mean I have to report my private life to you, Big. Bro. ther. Zhiyu?"

The man's eyes narrowed dangerously, and his voice dropped. "Then find out whether I want to be your big brother or your man."

In Wen Ling's memory, she had only met Sheng Jiayi twice.

The first time, she knocked over her lunch tray in the cafeteria and accidentally stained his expensive coat.

The second time, he stopped her on a snowy night.

His dark eyes were openly possessive as he told her, "I can give you everything your boyfriend can, and more."

Wen Ling stopped and met his gaze. "What do you mean?"

"Dump him. Be with me."

-

Word around their social circle was that the unattainable young master Sheng had stolen his new girlfriend from one of his buddies, and the two men had even gotten into a fight over it.

At a gathering, everyone couldn't help gossiping. "Is that true?"

Someone chimed in: "Of course it's false. That girl looks like trouble. She's definitely the one who seduced him first."

Sheng Jiayi lounged on the sofa, looked up, and shot the speaker a warning glance. Completely unruffled, he replied, "No. I seduced her."

-

Perhaps it was karma. Their relationship went public with a splash, then ended in a hurry.

Years later, they met again. On the other side of a wall from the clinking glasses and lively chatter outside, Sheng Jiayi pinned Wen Ling against the door and kissed her without restraint. "Sheng Jiayi, are you crazy!"

The man was certain he had the upper hand. He casually toyed with her earlobe and chuckled. "Call out louder. Let everyone outside hear."
