[The new story next door, "Kiss Marks on the Collarbone," is now available. Come check it out.] A mix-up led Shen Qingbai to mistake Zhong Tingye for her blind date. Looking at the handsome, refined, reserved man before her, she couldn't help praising her mother in her heart. Her mom had finally picked someone with good taste for once. Shen Qingbai smiled awkwardly but politely. "With your looks, do you really need to go on blind dates?" Zhong Tingye paused, then lifted the corner of his mouth. "I've never been very popular." "...?" Shen Qingbai was puzzled. "Did your family really pressure you into this?" Zhong Tingye nodded. "Yeah. The elders care a lot about this sort of thing." Shen Qingbai understood. "In that case, why don't we settle for each other?" Zhong Tingye raised his eyes and gave her a careful once-over, laughter hidden in his gaze. His voice was low and warm. "Sure." - Zhong Tingye, heir to the Zhong Group, had frequently appeared in the financial press in recent years. His striking looks and iron-fisted methods had made him a well-known figure in the financial world. One day, media captured the golden boy Zhong Tingye carrying a woman's handbag and even opening a car door for her. He was so attentive he looked like her bodyguard. Everyone was stunned and speculated that it couldn't possibly be him. Zhong Tingye attended an event, where the host asked him about it. He admitted it frankly: "I was picking my wife up after class." The media were astonished. "Mr. Zhong, you're married?" The next day, the Zhong Group's official account posted a wedding photo of its CEO with the caption, "Happy wedding!" The netizens didn't care about anything else. They were blinded by the enormous diamond on Mrs. Zhong's hand. #MarriageFirst, LoveLater# #Healing, Sweet Romance# #BothLeadsAreInexperienced# Witty, humorous female teacher x seemingly proper, secretly scheming business magnate Coming soon: "Kiss Marks on the Collarbone" ---- * Fatherly, old-fashioned husband VS elegant, beautiful dancer * Older, fatherly husband | Everyday life | Marriage first, love later Li Wantang was born into a family of singers and dancers and was carefully trained from childhood. Even her collarbones were exquisitely perfect. She was beautiful and dazzling, with countless admirers. But she had never imagined marrying a stiff, old-fashioned man several years older than her. Fu Yanshen always wore black: a high-necked cashmere sweater, a polo coat reaching below his knees, and the same gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He was good-looking, but far too serious. He didn't look like a husband; he looked like a school disciplinarian. Her mother said, "Yanshen comes from a good family, has a good personality, studied overseas, and has a stable job. Have you forgotten? He used to be your tutor." "..." That's exactly why she didn't want to marry him. Fu Yanshen was a top student, while she was a poor student. Li Wantang would never forget the days when Fu Yanshen crushed her with his intelligence, showing not an ounce of mercy. [Short scenes] 1. One day, Li Wantang was getting ready to go out to a bar with her best friend. Just then, Fu Yanshen came home from work. He stood tall in the doorway and calmly looked her up and down. "Going out?" "Yeah, to a bar." After a moment, he said, "Your skirt is too short. Change into something else." "..." Li Wantang turned around, then heard him say, "Don't stay out too late.
