Xiao Nian had heard the man was a very proper university professor, quiet and honest. They sounded like a terrible match. Was he supposed to put up with that? So after a huge fight with his family that night, Xiao Nian went to a bar. He got thoroughly drunk and met a gorgeous man, and they had a wild night together. The next day, his family arranged a meeting with the man. The moment their eyes met, Xiao Nian froze. What??? “We're only contract partners. You understand that, right?” “Of course.” “We're both free to date other people during this time. I won't interfere with you, and you won't interfere with me, right?” “Of course.” But later... It was bad enough that Lu Zhizhou said one thing and meant another, but he was inexplicably jealous too. He might as well tie Xiao Nian to himself.
