Rose Kiss

1.

On the eve of Qixi, their friends received an invitation:

[You are invited to witness the wedding of Song Shiyue and Tao Jin]

Their entire friend group erupted. Song Shiyue, the ever-busy CEO who was always focused on his career, had actually gotten married!

When friends asked him about it, CEO Song replied:

“An arranged marriage can help my career, and a stable marriage can give me an advantage.”

His friends thought about it and decided that was exactly like Song Shiyue: stiff, meticulous, and devoted to his career.

For the two years they had been married, Song Shiyue had indeed acted that way. Everyone in their circle knew the marriage was in name only.

One day, at a banquet, the two of them, who hadn't been seen together in ages, happened to run into each other.

As luck would have it, Tao Jin had arrived with a popular young heartthrob, while Song Shiyue was accompanied by the eldest daughter of the Meng family, who had never gotten along with Tao Jin.

In everyone's eyes, Tao Jin was so haughty and aloof it was almost ridiculous. But as she strode over in her high heels, her hips swaying gracefully, she raised her eyes and tugged on Song Shiyue's tie, pulling them close with a slight tug. Her red lips parted and she asked, “Honey, who is she?”

Rumors of Tao Jin and the popular young heartthrob swept through their circle. Some of Song Shiyue's friends were furious on his behalf and wanted to stand up for him. But when they arrived at Tao Jin's studio, they found Song Shiyue himself, who was supposed to be away on a business trip overseas.

He held Tao Jin in his arms. “Don't leave me.”

His friends were stunned and began wondering how things had gotten to this point.

Only one old friend, who had come along for the excitement, knew the truth.

The marriage alliance between the Song and Tao families had been the beginning of an unrequited love that never came to fruition.
