I Refuse to Marry You

Gu Xichen, one of the candidates to inherit the Gu Group, is refined and self-possessed, obsessive and cold-blooded. He always has an aloof air that keeps people at a distance. After years of being single, he's about to... get married young.

By the time Lan Zhiyue decided to marry Gu Xichen, she had only crossed paths with him twice.

When she was eight, in her own garden, the little girl held up a caterpillar in front of Gu Xichen. "Want to watch me chop it into little pieces?"

At eleven, the boy already seemed like a little adult. His eyes were cool, and his tone indifferent. "Childish."

Eight years later, sixteen-year-old Lan Zhiyue helped a friend deliver a love letter. She stopped Gu Xichen on the road and handed it to him casually. "My friend really likes you. Would you consider giving her a chance?"

Nineteen-year-old Gu Xichen already seemed mature and steady, but his expression was still aloof. He replied dismissively, "Boring."

After that, they had no further contact.

A marriage alliance between their families tied their fates together.

On their wedding day, Lan Zhiyue saw Gu Xichen's cool expression through her veil. There was no joy in his eyes or at the corners of his lips. In short, he was a cold-faced groom who was just going through the motions, not putting his heart into it.

She had known all along that their marriage alliance was just a mutually agreeable transaction, but she still felt a little disappointed.

When the pastor asked if she was willing to marry him, she stubbornly answered, word by word, in front of everyone, "I am not."

The man's eyes turned icy. He walked over and whispered in her ear, "Too late."

Then he wrapped an arm around her slender waist and left a kiss on her lips, cool as a clear spring.

Later, the stubborn little girl who'd said no in a huff became more clingy and dependent on him than anyone.

She turned into a soft, sweet little crybaby in his arms, with absolutely no pride left to speak of.

She once thought there was nothing she feared, but later, she found that losing you was what she feared most.
