The Summer That Wasn't Killed

My name is Xia Tian, and I suspect my boyfriend wants to kill me.

To be fair, he's gentle and handsome. Apart from being overly concerned about my safety and constantly checking where I am, he's a very considerate boyfriend.

But the first time he came to my place, he knew where I kept the spare slippers. He found the coffee I'd forgotten I'd put away. When he ordered a cake, he told the shop not to add mango, which I'm allergic to. Damn it, I'd never told him I was allergic to mango!

I started to feel that something was wrong and wanted to get away, so I pretended to fall asleep while he was soothing me, waiting for him to leave.

I waited until an eerie silence settled over the room, then cautiously opened my eyes, only to meet a pair of pitch-black eyes.

My boyfriend hadn't left after all!! He was sitting motionless beside the bed, gripping a knife and staring at me!!!

Preorder: I Don't Want to Get Back Together

Everyone knows that the young master of the Qi family, Qi Yunyi, can't stand his arranged-marriage partner, Wen Yan.

After they marry, Wen Yan behaves just as he wants, staying at home as unobtrusive as a puff of air. She doesn't come near him, and barely even speaks to him. They sleep in separate beds. She buttons her pajamas all the way to the top and wraps herself up like a dumpling after showering, as if she is afraid he'll so much as look at her.

Qi Yunyi has gone out drinking again.

“It's not like I'm mad she didn't wear her wedding ring. But I'm wearing mine. Why shouldn't she?”

“Does the Qi family not have a driver anymore? Why does she have to come back in her senior's car?”

“And back then, she...”

His friend raises an eyebrow, looking at him with an amused expression.

Qi Yunyi grits his teeth. “I'll say it again: I'm not in love with her anymore!”

-

Wen Yan never thought she'd see Qi Yunyi again, three years after they broke up.

Even less did she expect him to agree to an arranged marriage between their families.

She knows Qi Yunyi hates her, so after they marry, she stays out of his way and doesn't go home unless she has to. She absolutely won't get in Young Master Qi's sight.

Until one day, Qi Yunyi stops her in the parking lot.

“You didn't even come home for our wedding anniversary.” Qi Yunyi glares as he tosses her a bouquet. “Do you really think I'm a stranger to you?”
