A Dreamy Morning

[Complete. Weibo: @Ban Xiaojiuya] [Please add my next novel, Applying to Enter Your Heart, to your wish list.] To avoid marrying the pretentious man her parents had picked for her, Song Qingchen made a hasty decision and hit it off with Meng Jinshu, who was also troubled by his family's matchmaking pressure. Less than a month after meeting, they got married in a flash. The day before the wedding, Song Qingchen laid a prenuptial agreement in front of Meng Jinshu. "Let's be clear from the start. I won't take a cent of your premarital assets, and I won't share mine with you, either. Because of our families, neither of us can bring up divorce over anything short of a matter of principle while we're together." "Like what?" "Like cheating or domestic violence." "Mm." "If either of us causes a divorce by crossing that line, they'll leave with nothing. You have no objections, right?" "That's fine." Song Qingchen thought Meng Jinshu was being a little too agreeable. She hesitated for a while, then finally said, "But we don't have any feelings for each other yet. What if we really meet the one we love in the future... what then?" Meng Jinshu signed his full name on the prenuptial agreement and said calmly, "Then, before that happens, we'll make an effort." "An effort to do what?" "To make each other the one we love." - "I've always brought good luck to the people around me. My family and friends all say I'm a lucky star. As long as you're with me, good fortune will keep coming your way. Song Qingchen, I can't promise you a life of wealth and luxury, but I can promise that your future will be luckier than your past."

Please add it to your wish list~ The Ye and Xu families arranged a marriage back when their grandparents were young, betrothing the Ye family's eldest daughter to Xu Nanhe, the Xu family's eldest son. But just before the engagement, the eldest daughter asked to call it off. Xu Nanhe was a rising business star in Qinggang. He was handsome and gentle, like jade, but ruthless and decisive in business, and no one dared cross him. Faced with their eldest daughter's broken engagement, the Ye parents were too afraid to face Xu Nanhe. The man seated at the tea table simply sipped his tea at an unhurried pace, the tiny cup like a toy in his hand. He lifted his eyes lightly, his dark gaze unreadable. "The Ye family doesn't have just one daughter, does it?" Everyone present froze. The Ye family did indeed have another daughter: their second daughter, Ye Tingzhi, who had been rebellious and unruly since childhood and was never favored by her parents. - Xu Nanhe had once been invited back to Qinggang University to give a lecture. It was packed, and nearly everyone at Qing University knew who he was. Ye Tingzhi, the campus belle of Qing University, had a distinctive personality. In her third year, she formed a band. At their first performance, people noticed Xu Nanhe, who had never cared for this sort of event, sitting in the front row. After the show, a young man presented Ye Tingzhi with flowers and confessed his feelings. As the crowd stirred, Xu Nanhe appeared at her side and gently drew her into his arms. Looking at the young man, Xu Nanhe rejected him on Ye Tingzhi's behalf. "Sorry, she can't accept you." The young man refused to back down. "Why? What gives you the right to decide for her?" Xu Nanhe smiled and said, word by word, in front of everyone, "Because our marriage is protected by law." That night, Ye Tingzhi became as famous as Xu Nanhe. When they got home after dark, Ye Tingzhi angrily accused Xu Nanhe of breaking their agreement. He caught her by the back of the head and kissed the corner of her lips, then murmured hoarsely, "I broke it unilaterally." - Later, Ye Tingzhi discovered that the business marriage she'd considered nothing more than an exchange of interests wasn't as simple as she'd imagined. Xu Nanhe had been the one moving the pieces all along. "I wasn't settling for second best. It wouldn't have been anyone else if it wasn't you." --You were always my first choice. * Rebellious, unruly band vocalist X powerful businessman who's been plotting for a long time 1.
