Confession After Marriage

Xie Jinghuai came from a prominent family with deep roots. He was the eldest young master of the capital's most powerful family, an aloof and dignified man whom no one dared provoke. Jian Xi had always kept her distance from him.

The only connection between them was that she was engaged to his younger brother in name only.

Later, on a night spent camping, she mistook him for her fiance.

More than ten minutes later, her fiance finally strolled over and asked why her lips were so red.

Xie Jinghuai lifted his eyes indifferently and glanced at her. His thin lips parted slightly. "I ate something I shouldn't have. They're swollen."

Not long afterward, her fiance announced in public that he had found someone new and wanted to break off the engagement.

But the marriage alliance between their families had to go ahead, and Jian Xi was told to choose someone suitable from among the young men of the Xie family.

On a rainy night, she walked the streets in a daze when a black umbrella suddenly appeared above her head.

She looked up. In the rain-blurred darkness, Xie Jinghuai's cool, refined features were indistinct.

He spoke calmly. "As for the marriage alliance between our families, if you don't mind, Miss Jian, I could do it."

On impulse, she went back to his villa with him.

After sobering up, Jian Xi fled in a panic, only to learn that her cousin was about to marry Xie Jinghuai's nephew, which meant she could be released from her own marriage obligation.

Relieved, she immediately packed her bags and planned to go abroad to clear her head. She would keep that reckless night with Xie Jinghuai a secret.

Who knew that before she even made it into the airport, Xie Jinghuai would corner her in the underground parking garage?

He leisurely unbuttoned the top of his shirt. With one hand, he pinned her against the car, and with the other, he gripped her chin.

His eyes lowered as he tenderly caressed and kissed her red lips.

"Miss Jian, you really are the sort of person who takes what she wants and then walks away. How should I punish you?"

"Last night, when you sat on my lap, wrapped your arms around my neck, and kissed me, didn't you say we'd get our marriage license today?"

Help! Xie Jinghuai is kind of scary! Now she wants to run even more.

Coming soon: The Tussle

1. Shen Sixing is a top-tier star in the business world. Born into a distinguished family, impossibly handsome, and blessed with an extraordinary aura, he is the talk of high society.

But Yan Qing, who grew up half childhood friend to him, refuses to be impressed.

A friend asks Yan Qing what kind of man she likes. She raises an eyebrow. "Handsome ones, but not men who are 185 centimeters tall and have a beauty mark at the corner of their eye. And I especially don't like men surnamed Shen."

Her friend is speechless.

You might as well just say Shen Sixing's name.

Later, when her friend learns that Yan Qing is going to marry Shen Sixing, she is so shocked her jaw drops. Then she asks, "Have your standards changed?"

Yan Qing replies confidently, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'If you hate him, marry him and make his life a living hell'?"

Some time after the wedding, her friend asks curiously, "How's your plan going?"

Yan Qing's face falls. "It's going well enough, except I got it backward. I feel like I'm the one being put through the wringer."

Her friend: "..."
