A Letter for the Roses

Xu Hui had a secret crush on someone in high school. Their story ended abruptly, without ever going anywhere.

She never imagined she'd get another chance to see him, and at a matchmaking session, no less.

When she heard his family was pressuring him to get married and that he was open to finding someone for a marriage of convenience, Xu Hui took a gambler's chance, gathering all her courage and putting everything on the line. "If you're going to get married, could it be me?"

At that, the man raised an eyebrow, his lazy smile fading slightly. "This isn't a small matter. You should think it through."

Xu Hui nodded. She had thought it through.

She had always...

Known he was an ocean of unknowable depths, and still wanted to jump in without a second thought.

Xu Hui and Wen Yuye got married.

At first, their friends were all against it. They couldn't imagine someone as gentle and reserved as her keeping Wen, the young master who was used to losing himself in a world of bright lights and wild nights, in line.

But she was the one who could make Wen Yuye abandon a crowd of partygoers and head straight home with a single phone call.

In the hazy darkness, the man leaned against the doorway, seemingly unaware of the chill clinging to him.

It had been exactly twenty minutes since she called.

Xu Hui was a little surprised. "How did you get back so quickly?"

Remembering the teasing and jeers when he'd left, Wen Yuye curled his lips into a smile and admitted without reservation, "I came back to soothe you, Mrs. Wen."

Through all the noise and revelry, he finally realized that the only one who had ever captured his heart was this white rose.
