Weren't We Just Getting Married for Convenience?

Song Yin noticed that Fu Shili had gotten a little strange. His words and actions often crossed the boundaries of their purely strategic marriage, and Song Yin found it very stressful.

When that bastard silently bought her another top-of-the-line luxury yacht, she couldn't take it anymore and demanded warily, "What do you mean by this?"

Fu Shili's lips curved slightly as he kissed her fingers. "What do you think I mean?"

Song Yin was silent for three seconds, then smacked him on the forehead.

"You've got another woman?"

"You did something wrong and are afraid I'll make a scene in front of the elders, so you're sending me out to sea?"

"You bastard! You're dead to me! Let's get divorced!"

Fu Shili: "???"

Blurb for the upcoming novel, Ignite a Moon

1. Xu Chun grew up abroad with her parents. Before she returned to China, her father asked an old friend he'd known for many years to look after her. She'd finally escaped her parents' strict rules, so there was no way she was going to let herself be stuck with some stuffy old friend. She dodged the pickup her father's friend had arranged and ran off from the airport.

That evening, she went to a bar to party. A handsome, tall man with a distinguished air watched her all night. His gaze made her heart itch, but he never came over to flirt. Xu Chun curled her lips and made the first move.

The man gazed at her calmly. "Why don't you introduce yourself first?"

"Xu Chun. And you?"

"Pei Yingzhou."

"...?"

Xu Chun paused. That name? Wasn't he her dad's old friend? How was he "old" at all??

Wait, had he come to catch her?

Xu Chun gave him a cheeky grin and turned to run. Before she could take a step, he grabbed her and pulled her back.

Xu Chun didn't want to be "looked after," so she deliberately made a racket and caused trouble. But her father's old friend only watched her coldly, without the slightest impatience. He even seemed completely unbothered.

Xu Chun got tired and leaned against him, acting cute. "You don't seem like an uncle. I'm going to call you big brother."

Pei Yingzhou frowned at that, seeming displeased. Xu Chun's eyes lit up. She'd found a whole new way to rebel.

Later, that rebellious tactic stopped working, too. Then one day, a friend asked, "Is he your brother?"

Xu Chun said, "Calling him big brother was a joke. I've always thought of him as an uncle."

This time, Pei Yingzhou's face darkened completely.

She smirked and leaned close to his ear. "Uncle Pei, you're acting weird."

"..."

2. Pei Yingzhou had been cool and self-controlled for years. His friends all said he was so free of worldly desires he was like a stagnant pool. Then he brought a young woman home from a bar. She was like a little animal hopping around, disrupting his life and stirring that stagnant pool.

Before, he could never have imagined that he'd lose control so badly as to corner a young woman behind a door just one step away from the noisy banquet hall.

She tried to avoid him, but he kept closing in.

She blinked, looking utterly innocent. "Uncle Pei, you're acting weird again."

He smiled, his burning gaze tracing her lips. A wordless desire lent his voice a seductive edge. "Isn't this just the way you like me?"

The heart that dances in the dark is called the moon. You set that silent moon ablaze.

--"The more he acts free of worldly desires, the more I look forward to seeing him lose control."
