Marriage first, love later | Female student & powerful Beijing aristocrat | Complete
Dong Nuo got married in a whirlwind before starting graduate school. One day, she unexpectedly ran into her wealthy husband.
He was an honored guest at Qing University’s anniversary celebration, while she was a student emcee assigned to greet the guests. She was supposed to pretend they didn't know each other, but while she was working, the ribbon on her wrist got tangled around a button on the front of his shirt.
Cheng Luxun slowly untangled the ribbon, his gaze ominous. “Are you trying to divorce me?”
Dong Nuo bowed repeatedly.
“I-I’m so sorry.”
-
Cheng Luxun was convinced that the ribbon was her attempt to play hard to get. In the cutthroat business world, what trick hadn't he seen?
That is, until he came across the divorce papers she'd left behind.
The night wind was bitter, and rain poured in torrents.
The villa was dimly lit. His shirt was soaked and dripping as the man sat on the doorstep, looking up at her with pleading eyes.
Dong Nuo hesitated.
“If we get back together, that'll cost extra, right?”
-
Later, Dong Nuo's career took off, and she became an honored guest at the university's anniversary celebration. Slightly tipsy, she saw Cheng Luxun.
She drunkenly toyed with the button on his shirt.
“I'm an honored guest, and you're the one ‘doing the work.’ Are you any good at it?”
“...”
That night, the usually dignified and self-controlled man pulled her into his arms again and again. Dong Nuo was so overwhelmed that tears came to her eyes, but he only kissed her harder, his burning breath crashing against her ear.
“The work's not done yet. Does the honored guest want to climb on top?”
Her: She'd meant to cut herself off from love, but only fell deeper and deeper.
Him: He loved her fiercely and devotedly, and put his all into the “work” too.
Kissing you is like kissing the humid, heated ribbon that winds itself around your life and binds me to you.
A kiss that lasts until the end of time.
*Both are each other's first, one-on-one, happy ending.
Theme: We are young, so let's not waste these precious days.
