A Winter Wedding

◎ A marriage alliance, and two strangers falling in love after marrying first

For Ye Shaoyang, Wen Qiao wasn't unimportant.

It was just that after the white rose went abroad, she, the red rose, became the mosquito blood on the wall.

"I'm sorry, Qiao Qiao. I can't abandon Xiao Ya. I've watched her grow up." The night before their engagement, after receiving news that his first love had tried to take her own life, he resolutely left Wen Qiao behind and went to France.

Their engagement party became a laughingstock.

So, at 22, Wen Qiao agreed to marry the man her adoptive father had found for her in an arranged marriage.

She had never met him.

All she knew was that he was a little older than her, from Beijing, and had grown up abroad.

At 24, she finally met her fiancé: a tall, handsome young man, so strikingly handsome he seemed almost sharp. Beautiful enough to look like a romance scammer.

Wen Qiao's first thought was that she couldn't handle him.

She hesitated to bring up calling off the engagement.

But he was so courteous, so refined and polite, nothing like the arrogant, haughty, difficult-to-get-along-with young master she had imagined.

Feeling a little nervous, she searched for something to say. "Um... if you don't speak Chinese, we can keep speaking English in the future..."

To her surprise, he smiled and replied in a pure Beijing accent, "I grew up in Beijing." His dark eyes studied her without giving anything away, making her extremely uncomfortable.

A month later, they got married.

On their wedding night, she lay awkwardly in bed for a long while. When he reached out to undo her clothes, she sat up anyway. "Um... I'm a little hungry. How about we get something to eat first?"

They'd only met three times. She had no idea how he could bring himself to do this!!!

So much for one box lasting a whole month. It didn't even last three weeks... One day, Wen Qiao stared blankly at the ceiling.
