[The print edition is now available under the title "Above the Heartbeat" on all major platforms] [The sweet romance "Hong Kong Island in the Mist" is complete. Visit the author's page to read it] 1. Wen Li and Lu Lianzhou got married three months ago. Lu Lianzhou was the one who proposed it. But after the wedding, she realized that he didn't seem to like her very much. He was neither warm nor cold toward her, barely came home a few times a month, and even got caught up in rumors with other women. After thinking it over again and again, Wen Li asked him for a divorce. The man furrowed his brow and rejected her without a second thought. "No divorce." - One day, shocking news broke at the start of the year: T University's meteorology research group had received a private research grant of 200 million. The whole internet was stunned and skeptical: No one could possibly donate that much! When Wen Li heard the news, she asked him, "Was it you?" Lu Lianzhou replied in a deep, calm voice, "Who else could it be?" 2. Later, at the celebratory banquet for a Winter Olympics program. Wen Li had just finished a livestream in a floor-length, backless gown when a pair of arms wrapped around her waist in the dark. Before she could react, the man had pinned her against the door. On the other side was the livestream area, crowded with media and watched by countless viewers. He lifted the hem of her dress slightly, pressed his palm against her outerwear, and held her in his arms, kissing her again and again. In the hazy light, a tiny black stud in his ear glinted with a faint, cool sheen. 3. The next day, footage of the scene appeared online, leaving everyone stunned: The usually refined and aloof CEO of Lu Ting had not only lifted a woman's dress, but was also wearing an earring? Only Wen Li knew where the earring came from. Back then, she was afraid of the pain and didn't dare get her ears pierced. He felt for her, so he decided to try it himself. Later, Wen Li nestled in his arms, gently stroking his reddened earlobe, feeling both guilty and sorry for him. Lu Lianzhou didn't mind at all. He simply sat her on his lap, held her close, and said, "You don't have to feel guilty. This makes things fair." A beautiful, fair-skinned meteorologist X a proud, gentle, domineering CEO "My ambition isn't great. I just want to keep one little pear all to myself." *One-on-one, both leads are each other's first and only. A sweet marriage-first, love-later treat.
