A 22-Degree Night (Married First, Fell in Love Later)

"Marriage first, love later | Male lead has a secret crush"

-

On their graduation trip, after a night on a beach in a foreign country, Su Li decides to confess her feelings to Sheng Ze, the boy she has secretly loved.

The boy is leaning against the windowsill, busy chatting with another girl. Why would he care about spending a quiet evening with her?

On her way back, she runs into Lu Jiayan in the hallway. He was the reason this study tour had come about in the first place.

One word from the young master of the Lu family, and half the wealthy and powerful families in Yuncheng signed their children up for the same itinerary.

The Su family got the news late. They had to pull strings and spend a fortune to snatch a transferred spot from someone else.

Then the next day, the young master announced he wasn't going, and everyone was dumbfounded.

What kind of game was he playing? Yet no one dared blame the arrogant, unruly young master Lu.

Fortunately, the trip went ahead after all, and Su Li only then learned the reason for his last-minute change of heart: Lu Jiayan had fallen for someone, and that girl wasn't on the list.

Caught crying, Su Li felt embarrassed and humiliated.

But then she remembered that Lu Jiayan had only been there to avoid the crowds.

Besides,

although they had come together, he probably couldn't even remember her name, could he?

Thinking about it that way made her feel better.

Later, the Su family still wasn't invited to the welcome party for his return from overseas studies.

In the end, Su Li tagged along with her cousin and finally caught a glimpse of him from afar at the party.

The handsome, refined young man stood at the center of the crowd in a black suit.

Even so, his striking features were veiled in unmistakable coldness.

He was nonchalant, too lazy to entertain anyone.

He stood in stark contrast to the people around him, eagerly fawning over him.

As for her, she couldn't even squeeze into their circle.

Who could have guessed that later, the young master himself would come looking for her and ask whether she wanted to make Sheng Ze regret it?

Su Li was tempted.
