Moonlight Flutter

◎Secret love comes true | Meets her dream guy on a blind date | He's also her marriage partner

As a teenager, Xie Liyue was strikingly handsome, aloof, and proud, the dream of every girl.

Yun Ya was the odd girl hiding in a corner, watching him with envy and longing.

She was the daughter of his family's maid. They lived under the same roof, but he never noticed her.

Xie Liyue didn't come to the graduation dinner. Rumors said he was dating someone and had no time. Heartbroken, Yun Ya left, only to collide with someone at a corner. She froze in fright as he drew her into his arms. The faint scent of oolong tea filled her senses, making her heart flutter.

The moon was bright. She hid her flushed face, not daring to look up at Xie Liyue.

He gently patted her back and asked softly, "Did I scare you silly?"

Later, Xie Liyue went abroad to study, and her secret crush came to an abrupt end.

Yun Ya moved to an unfamiliar city to study and work, until she was forced to marry.

At her very first blind date, she never expected the man sitting across from her to be him.

After several years apart, Xie Liyue wore a suit, his features mature. Every gesture was elegant and relaxed, and his perfume had changed to a subtle woody scent. He was still just as handsome.

"Miss Yun, have we met somewhere before?" He had forgotten her again.

Yun Ya put on a professional smile, polite but distant. "Mr. Xie, since we're both here against our will, shall we skip the small talk? I'll handle the matchmaker. Goodbye."

She picked up her bag and left. He calmly drank his coffee without trying to stop her.

As Xie Liyue's marriage partner, Yun Ya's cool, clearheaded persona was firmly in place. But when two mature adults are together, sparks are bound to fly, and she always had to make up some excuse to cover it up.

Until his first love returned from abroad. Unable to keep up the act any longer, she laid it all out for him.

"Since we've slept together and I got paid, I'll give you back the title of Mrs. Xie for her sake."

But he was the one who lost control. "Yaya, you can't leave me."

[Extra scene]

The morning after their wedding night, Yun Ya stood behind the white curtains, touching the ring on her left ring finger. The man wrapped his arms around her from behind. "What are you thinking about?"

"That we slept together."

Xie Liyue: ?

Damn it, she'd let the truth slip. Yun Ya kept a straight face and spouted nonsense. "Well, I made a bet with my friend that if I slept with you, they'd give me an LV bag."

The next day, a brand-new Hermes Birkin sat on her bedside table, while Xie Liyue elegantly loosened his tie.

"I bet you wouldn't dare sleep with me a second time."

Another time, Yun Ya took the initiative and kissed him. Xie Liyue asked, "Did you make another bet?"

"No, I was just thirsty."

"Then let's kiss a little longer."

Her youthful heartache was like moonlight. She could never have it, but it had truly lit up her life.

She had loved him for many years, and he never let her lose a bet. This was a love that went both ways.
