Sweet Talk After Marriage

[Pampered Girl x A Simple, Restrained Man] [Marriage Before Love] [Age Gap]

Ruan Li never thought she would marry Huo Yanzhou.

He was her elder.

Their lives had barely crossed paths in the past twenty-some years.

Then, in one day, they got their marriage licenses and moved under the same roof.

Ruan Li: Let's just be polite and respectful to each other.

Huo Yanzhou: Since we're married, of course we can't sleep in separate rooms.

Ruan Li: ...?

*

Huo Yanzhou was proper and dignified, refined and aloof. As the head of the Huo family in Jingbei, he was the most feared man in wealthy circles.

At first, Ruan Li was afraid of him, too.

Until one night, wearing nothing but a thin nightgown, she found a painting in Huo Yanzhou's study. Painted many years ago, it was titled Spring Pear Blossoms. A radiant young woman turned around among pear blossoms as white as snow, her features identical to Ruan Li's.

An arm wrapped around her waist from behind. Astonishment filled Ruan Li's soft, dark eyes. "Why... is it me?"

Huo Yanzhou's husky voice fell by her ear. "I tried to resist."

*

No one could have imagined that a man as dignified and esteemed as Huo Yanzhou would whisper the most heart-stirring (shameless) and flirtatious words to a young woman in the quiet of every midnight.

Coming Soon: Married, Do Not Disturb

A sweet, gentle girl with maxed-out obliviousness x a roguishly handsome playboy who knows no limits

1.

Chen Jiayi was gentle, pretty, and a little slow on the uptake. The most outrageous thing she had ever done was get married during her third year of college.

Her husband was an upperclassman at the same school, a year ahead of her. Their grandparents had been old friends, so they knew each other's backgrounds well enough.

Shen Yanxi was famous throughout Peking University as a playboy. With a face handsome enough to rival the gods, he was aloof, arrogant, and rebellious. He had countless admirers, but no one had ever seen him take a romantic interest in anyone.

Until one day, the entire school forum was buzzing about the rumored romance between Shen Yanxi and the English department's campus beauty.

Shen Yanxi's long-dormant account suddenly updated.

[Married. Do not disturb.]

[Chen, please clear things up too. @Chen+1]

The night before, Chen Jiayi had just received a grand confession from the math department's heartthrob.

2.

A whirlwind marriage to Shen Yanxi had never been part of Chen Jiayi's life plan. When she agreed to marry him, she made her own demands.

"At school, we keep our relationship secret."

"Sure."

"I'm taking the graduate school entrance exam next year. You can't get in my way."

"Mm."

"Um... I want to live on campus."

Shen Yanxi across from her fell silent.

Chen Jiayi nervously rubbed the milk cup in her hands. "I-is that not okay?"

"It's fine." Shen Yanxi nodded. "But you have to come home on weekends."

Feeling a little more at ease, Chen Jiayi looked at the overly handsome young man across from her. "What about you? If you have any requirements, you can tell me, too."

Shen Yanxi leaned lazily back in his chair and slightly lifted his pale eyelids. "One thing."

"What?"

"Let's make this marriage real."

Chen Jiayi: "..."
