Spring Mist

During the ten years she lived with the Huo family, Shi Wu always thought Huo Yu was dull and boring, and acted more like one of her uncles. He was someone she could never hope to admire from afar.

Young Master Huo Yinan was the one meant for her. They had known each other since childhood, and their feelings became mutual when they turned eighteen. Huo Yinan got a tattoo for her, fought for her, climbed over walls to buy her hot milk tea, and even gave up on getting a passing score on his essay to fill the page with love letters for her.

It began like a fairy tale, and should have ended with them walking down the aisle together.

But the woman Huo Yinan ended up with was someone else.

*

As a young master of the Huo family, Huo Yinan could not escape the inevitability of an arranged marriage. He promised her that Shi Wu was the only one he loved, and that he would never be physically intimate with anyone else.

A man's words are only worth listening to.

At the wedding, Shi Wu saw him kiss the bride passionately and embrace her as they entered the bridal chamber.

It was just as sweet as their own past.

Later, in the middle of a dull night, Huo Yinan called Shi Wu. Before he could explain anything, he heard the girl on the other end sobbing without pause. Panic-stricken, he asked, "Wu Wu, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Click. The call suddenly ended.

In the room, a mature man in a bath towel toyed with Shi Wu's phone in one hand while pinning her hand down with the other. "Want to tell him it was me?"

Blurb:

Yun Sui knew their meeting had not been a coincidence.

That day, the bar where she worked part-time was running a promotion on top-ups, and she gave Bai Yancheng her own WeChat ID.

The gradual closeness between them had everything to do with her careful planning at every step.

Later, after they broke up, a friend asked her what she had gained.

"Money, a car, jewelry," she said.

Nothing but those. No love.

The seed of her youthful unrequited love never got a response.

.

The young master of the Bai family was well known for his many romantic affairs, and there was no shortage of girls around him.

Yun Sui was the first girl who didn't cling to him after they broke up.

At a small gathering in their social circle one day, someone brought up Yun Sui, praising her for quietly getting an unexpected pregnancy terminated by herself. She was so obedient and considerate, not making the man worry.

They had meant to hold her up as an example for the girls, but instead they enraged Bai Yancheng, usually taciturn and calm. He smashed his wineglass in anger and stormed out.

.

Everyone said Yun Sui had offended Bai Yancheng, becoming the one taboo he hated most.

The one who was repeatedly woken by nightmares in the dead of night was him. The one who waited beneath her building all night was also him. Even when he finally saw her, he could only gently rub her slender wrist with his fingertip, his voice trembling and low: "Sui Sui, be good. Could you look at me just once?"

Indifferent and world-weary X cool and calculating
