He Likes Me, But He Won't Admit It

Xie Jia'an and Zhao Ding entered into a marriage between two powerful families seven years ago.

In public, they were sweet and loving. In private, each had someone else they secretly adored.

One dream showed Xie Jia'an that he was merely a supporting character in a novel.

The protagonist was the person he had loved for years.

Before long, Xie Jia'an would lose everything. The protagonist would trick him out of both his heart and his money, leaving him in misery as he watched the protagonist marry a wealthy heiress and reach the pinnacle of success.

Zhao Ding, meanwhile, became the final villain. He nearly destroyed the protagonist's family, giving Xie Jia'an a deeply satisfying moment.

But with the protagonist's halo intact, the villain was destined to lose.

Zhao Ding was framed and sent to prison in disgrace. The only thing he took with him was a wedding photo of the two of them.

So it turned out my arranged-marriage husband's secret love was me!

*

Xie Jia'an woke from his dream and found himself back seven years in the past. He resolved to turn over a new leaf.

He never imagined his arranged-marriage husband was following a marry-first, fall-in-love-later script!

"You actually like me."

Zhao Ding: "..."

"You'll fall madly in love with me."

Zhao Ding: "?"

"You'll even go to prison and risk your life for me."

Zhao Ding: "Hah."

Xie Jia'an's face darkened.

Let's see how long you can keep that deadpan face before you tell me you love me!

Just two years later, Zhao Ding discovered that every one of those three predictions had come true.

The day he was reborn, Rui Xingxing was lying on a kindergarten bed when he heard a clear, bright cry beside him. He turned and saw a rosy-cheeked face.

It looked familiar.

Oh, it was the eldest son of the Qi family, who would take over his family's business twenty-five years later.

Rui Xingxing and Qi Chang had grown up together.

He couldn't stand this pretty little tagalong.

If their families' villas hadn't been next door to each other, Rui Xingxing would never have befriended such a sissy... if only he'd known this sissy would be six-foot-three twenty years later.

The crying beside him grew louder, so Rui Xingxing turned around.

"Stop crying."

Annoying.

Qi Chang let out a hiccup through his tears.

Rui Xingxing: "..."

"Come here. I'll sleep with you."

Qi Chang's eyes lit up. He immediately toddled across the edge of the bed and crawled under Rui Xingxing's covers.

Rui Xingxing stared at the ceiling. If he started raising this kid now, could he keep his family's company from going bankrupt twenty years later?

Hm? What's wet...

Rui Xingxing flipped back the covers, his vision going dark.

"Qi Chang, you little punk! You're five and you still wet the bed!?"

Qi Chang's peach-blossom eyes were clear and innocent. "Teacher says animals mark their territory like this."
