[Six-year age gap, older woman-younger man] [A careful, strategic pursuit]
[Ambitious beauty x sweet-talking, innocent-looking schemer]
On the day Shi Sheng was having her wedding photos taken, she caught her arranged-marriage partner meeting in secret with a sweet, innocent girl in the makeup room.
Finding an arranged-marriage partner with two legs might be difficult, but he wasn't the only option.
Shi Sheng dumped him on the spot, then drove off in her off-road vehicle, still wearing her wedding dress.
On the way back, in the biting wind, she came across several college students flagging down cars.
Shi Sheng agreed to give them a ride.
Out of habit, she took out her cigarette case. As she pulled out a cigarette, she saw in the rearview mirror that the male college student in the back seat was watching her.
White T-shirt and gray sweatpants, with soft, delicate features. When their eyes met, he didn't look away. His eyes were dewy, and the smile on his lips was innocent and harmless.
Well, well! A harmless little white flower.
Shi Sheng instinctively put away her cigarette. It felt as though even the swirling secondhand smoke would sully him.
On the way, her secretary diligently screened new arranged-marriage prospects over the phone and brought up the Xie family.
Shi Sheng said lightly, "The young master of the Xie family is too young."
Secretary: "The eldest son of the Xie family will return from abroad in two months."
Shi Sheng decided, "Fine. I'll meet him for a date then."
At the dinner where she was meeting the eldest son of the Xie family, that harmless little white flower looked at Shi Sheng with an innocent smile. "I'm Xie Simai, the younger son of the Xie family."
"Oh, what a coincidence. I haven't had a chance to eat yet. Surely your brother and sister won't mind adding one more place setting?"
At the table, Shi Sheng discussed an arranged-marriage alliance with the eldest son of the Xie family.
Under the table, Xie Simai deliberately rubbed the leg in his gray sweatpants against her calf, stirring up a fine, tingling itch.
Between courses, Xie Simai blocked Shi Sheng's way back to the private dining room.
"We're both from the Xie family. Pick me, sis."
He pressed her against the wall and nuzzled behind her ear.
"Sis, I'm not a kid anymore. You know that."
